Thanks for this video! I've decided to jump back into Inquisition for a second playthrough before The Veilguard comes out. I know I missed a lot the first time around. I'm taking it slower this time and also trying out new scenarios.
Thank you so much! This is so helpful. I just did my first playthrough of DAO and DA2. Loved both of them. I just started DAI and was completely lost. I’m going to restart the game and follow the guides :)
Hi. An FYI for anyone who has the game on PlayStation and doesn't know yet. It's possible to (near) instantly finish War Table Operations by changing the time and date in the console's settings; it might also work on Xbox, but I haven't tried it.
I am a witness to the Playstation in this sense. This can greatly speed up the flow of operations at War Table that require a longer wait. It is worth remembering that it is possible to use this trick of manipulating the console clock to gain an advantage. For example, there is an operation that grants money - and eternally available - with the three advisors. If you have the patience and time to ahem... get past the waiting barrier in an artificial way, you can get some extra money of supernatural origin that can come in handy. Okay, it could be cheating, but it remains an option before reaching Skyhold (which has a much more agile "proposal" for this). The final choice is up to the player.
I somehow just got so lost. I spent wayyy to long in the hinterlands then realized you have to activate the next story quest on the table, now I have like 6 maps that I have no clue what order to play in
It happens to the best of us! I recommend going to Val Royeaux, the Storm Coast, back to the Hinterlands (to get Blackwall and speak with Fiona in Redcliff), and then the Fallow Mire before making a decision about if you want to ally with the Rebel Mages or the Templars (you could also save the Mire for after). And you can start heading to the Oasis at any time. There's also a link to a quest (and location) order recommendation list in the description of this video if you want a general guide for where to go from here. And you could follow along with one of my playthroughs linked there as well if you want to see what order I go in. (I'm just a few episodes away from the end of Aislin's run! 🥲)
I also started with Inquisition and picked up the lore through the game. I played a rouge my first playthrough but after that I played mages because of the connection to the story
I started playing back in 2015 stopped and just came back because Veilgard looks awesome. Thank you for this i completely forgot about the war table lol 🤣
Ooh. I'm not sure I have a solution for the problem with Origins not launching at all, though maybe something here might work?: www.reddit.com/r/DragonageOrigins/comments/otrgc0/dragon_age_origins_ultimate_edition_wont_boot/ But here's my old modding guide: th-cam.com/video/8HnNSGwfbN4/w-d-xo.html
There are a handful of operations that you have to complete before relocating to Skyhold or else they will disappear, so I like to wait until I've cleared the War Table of operations before doing In Your Heart Shall Burn. That's just my preference though!
That war table operations doc is horrid. It doesn't take into account the operations that have to be completed a certain way in order to lead to the next in the chain/not end abruptly. Lost 3 chains before I realized it. Not a good reccommend.
That information is under "Details" (column J). If the operation has an impact on subsequent operations, it states exactly what advisor choice will end the operation chain there.
Played Origins so many times and DA2 several times. I quit this game when it came out right as I met Morrigan and just thought it was a crafting simulator and very lackluster in all things regarding DA. Veilguard is one sorryassshitshow.
Sorry you don't like the most recent games! Personally, I enjoyed crafting and thought Inquisition did an excellent job carrying on the immersive DA lore from previous games (especially with the returning characters), and I like Veilguard so far, but to each their own. At least you can replay the first two games! I don't have any tips for Origins or 2, but I do have modding guides for each if you don't already mod them and want a new challenge.
@@PosiCobra Thanks but I wrote many mods for DAO and have over 900 hrs in it. DA2, I didn't write any mods but have played it prb 6 times. I am trying to finish Inquis as it just didn't grab me. I've been gaming for a long time lol. 52 yrs old.
Great video, Posi. I like the pacing of the information, the clarity and the organization.
Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate the kind words! 🙂

Of course! I hope some of the resource here help and that you have lots of fun!

Excellent! I hope they help. ☺

This vid came at the perfect time, I've just started this game spent about 5 hours in the hinterlands 😭
That Hinterlands grind is real! Hopefully there was something useful here. ☺

Lore is great. It was only after I read books of fiction about DA that I realised Grand Enchanter Fiona is Alastair’s biological mother.
Same! Though she hints at it in dialogue if Alistair is your Warden contact and comes to visit Skyhold (also if he's left in the Fade).

No problem. I hope you enjoy the playthrough this time around!
thank u!
You're very welcome!
As I sadly saw the disneyfication of Dragon Age, I reinstall the sage and went back to the first one. DAI is still good BTW.
I have a modding guide for Origins if you're interested!
@PosiCobra that would be great. I tried to install and play the other day, and I wouldn't even start 🙃

When to go to the skyhold? Move forward as quickly as possible or try to postpone?

It's an MMO for people without the ability to make actual friends
Ha! Yeah, I'll take a fictional character over a stranger calling me a slur any day.

@@Hellfurian1972 Well then, you're definitely more of an expert than me!
