While Sera also got the Tempest specification, which in my opinion does not make sense if you keep her as archer, I do not like her and almost never take her along. The specification is really great, especially freezing enemies on contact. My rogue specification is Tempest, since Varric is set as Artificer and Cole as Assassin. While in most fights my Inquisitor just keeps on hacking and slashing with her awesome dual-blade daggers and occasionally goes into stealth for a precise kill of well-protected enemies, fade rifts and dragons demand tactical view and the care and support of a mage, which I take over instead of my Inquisitor. Battling through fade rifts is a different story, especially if they feature an Emissary and Lesser Terrors. The latter I outfitted with corrupting runes as soon as I could, which made it surprisingly easy to defeat enemies that were way beyond my own level, from level 20 (mine was 8) to, you know, the enemies with the red skull above their heads that usually means certain death. On Hard I took great pains and no little time to get my DW rogue Inquisitor and the warriors incredibly good armour and weapons early on. The Templars and Wardens are our valued allies and we will soon face the Venatori in the Temple of Mythal. As a character my Qunari is a soft-hearted giant who is friends with everyone on the team, except for Sera, who got thrown out after she led the Inquisitor into a trap in Crestwood. For fights, I take another warrior, usually Blackwall, because he is not only unstoppable but also my romance of choice in this playthrough, a mage and a rogue, mostly Cole, for support. Before I take on Hakkon Wintersbreath, that is. Killing High Dragons has never been so easy, but the three in Emprise de Lion I will leave for last. When it came to choosing a specification I was torn between Templar and Reaver, but despite everything I went with the Reaver and usually combine Ring of Pain and Dragon Rage, which is truly great. So now I play her on Casual, which “really works for me”, as the Iron Bull would say, even though she still tends to die more often than not if I do not play her actively. My Qunari started out with a two-handed weapon on Normal, which I later changed to SnS, but since the other Qunari also became SnS, I changed her back to THW and she died a lot. What characters and specifications work for me It is friendly fire.”) and Vivienne, Cole and Solas (“Tell that thing to leave me alone.”-“Solas is not a thing!”-“Ha! Well said!”). My favourite exchanges so far were between Dorian and him (“Be careful with flashing your daggers when I’m throwing fire.”-“It’s alright, it won’t harm me. As Dorian-loosely quoted- says: “The dwarf plays dirty!”Ĭole is adorably naive and while he is a skilled Assassin I mostly take him for the banter with the others. Also, Varric is great at hunting down any fleet-footed creature, such as rams and hallas, and his banter with the rest of the party is just cool. I conquered the ramparts on the Exalted Plains with ease, combining Dorian as Winter and Necromancer with Varric and Bianca, the latter outfitted with a demon-slaying rune. Varric’s Bianca, when properly modified, is the dread of demons and undead. When she does, though, I enjoy the bickering between her and Blackwall very much. Some simply require another mage specification. Although she can take care of herself on the battle-field and is a great boon to the party she obviously does not come on every mission. Vivienne as Winter Queen and Knight-Enchanter is death to every fire-breathing dragon and perfect for slowing down Darkspawn and other creatures. The Rift Mage-abilities, especially Firestorm, are simply awesome. Whenever me and the rest of the team need to swallow regeneration potions after a particularly hard fight against enemies three levels above ours, Blackwall is always good to go without.Īlthough the game starts him with a Winter ability I usually pick a combination of Rift Mage, Spirit and Storm for Solas. Battlemaster and Vanguard combined with Champion and really good armour and weapons make him literally unstoppable. Regardless of which gameplay difficulty I choose, I take Blackwall on almost every mission.
