Firstly, I'm very glad I recently upgraded my graphics card, because this game is really using it. Looks amazing.
The controls are a little awkward, and I think it's going to take longer to get used to them than usual, but we'll see. Combat is a struggle right now, steep learning curve, but I'll get there.
You can actually flirt with the restricted romance options, they just turn you down. Can't tell you how much I would have loved something like this after Garrus' reach and flexibility chat. (He shares that story to male Shepards too.) So far my male inquisitor has flirted with Cullen, who is only available to female humans and elves. It was adorably awkward. Didn't flirt with Cassandra, although I'm warming up to her faster than I expected.
The character creator is probably the greatest one I've seen so far. Everything down to eyelash length...
Pictures of my Inquisitor, a human rogue by the name of Mitchell Trevelyan:
I think of him as the inquisitive inquisitor, every time a dialogue option includes a question, I pick a question. Seemed like a good idea from a player perspective, to get all the background info, and a feel for the characters. I'm playing blind here, only the dialogue and codex to guide me. Well, that, and experience with DAO and DA2.
I'm enjoying watching his face as he bumbles around cluelessly, the expressions are excellent. I omitted some of the better ones because there were subtitles on the frames. I could crop those out, but, I could also go back to the new game I just got.
Also, for a first character in a Bioware game, Mitchell isn't doing too badly. For one, I still like his face. This was probably the first time I didn't exit back to the menu and try again.
Mitchell is adorable! I had to restart the game three times before I made an Inquisitor I liked. I wanted a female elf who looked weird, but not THAT weird. It's a tough balance.
ReplyDeleteI've been told he looks like David Wenham. I think this means I succeeded - I was trying for generic/stereotypical Australian.
DeleteMy second Inquisitor is a female elf, just starting out, and I feel your pain, took so long to get something I liked, and still liked in the game. I made one, and she looked awesome in the creator, but in game she had Ashley-pink lips. That's fine if intentional, and something I might play around with for my eventual qun woman, but it didn't fit this elf.
Took forever to come back to this blog post, feels like. Sorry about that, DAI kind of ate me.
