I'm talking to him right now. He's pontificating. Thane tier. It's miserable.
Look at this disgusting resolution. I nearly had to pull out my magnifying glass to make any sense of those pixelated words

Have you gotten Sera yet? Relative to her, he's above average

Not yet. I feel like I just spent 20 hours running around Haven talking to everyone and doing the little crafting quests there. I guess I'm off to the Hinterlands now.

I'll reserve judgement on Sera until I meet her, but she does seem to be the companion a lot of people hate. Although, I liked Merrill, and it seems like people hated her too.

I ran through the character creator. My mesh quality was set to medium and hair looked so shiny. It was gross. Set it to high and it's fine.

Redoing my character until I find something I like. No recustomization like in DA2 is annoying. Feel like I have to get it right until somebody comes up with a save game editor that can do it.

Huge pro-tip, make sure you turn things in to your research table before selling your junk. They have researchable items and junk items in the same tab. Pretty dumb.

I didn't put enough shine on my character's lips and it haunts me (you can't put too much shine, but you can't put too little). And would it kill them to let a girl get her hair did?

Character creator lighting is misleading. Pet peeve.

I watched a youtube video of your first conversation with Sera. It was painful. She makes Merril looks like Wrex.

Pewps have you tiered the companions yet? I'm thinking I'm probably going to like Cassandra, Varric and Iron Bull the most.

I actually don't care for Iron Bull as much as I thought I would. I mean he's alright, his voice is really weird though. I don't know how to explain it, it's kind of annoying though. Krem also has an annoying voice. I didn't realize 14 year olds were allowed into a mercenary group.

Blackwall is good though.

None of the companions stand out to me as amazing. Not yet anyway.

Dorian, Vivienne and Varric are probably the best though.

He reminds me of Robert Downey Jr.

Harding, the female scout dwarf, should have been a companion. Would totally bone her.

So do you do main quests to get companions? Been doing a lot of side shit in Hinterlands...wondering if i should go do some of the story missions first so i can unlock more characters to do side quests with.

you mostly get them from your war room, I think. They're not really storyline quests for the most part.

I saw Krem briefly and I immediately assumed it was woman dressed as a man. Since Jen Hale is the voice, I assume I'm correct.

Blackwall romance:
I was a little surprised the one scene I saw was full nudity for the female warden, but none for Blackwall. I assume the majority of Blackwall romancers would want to see him, not their character. Not complaining, just thought it was odd.

Blackwall confirmed as a never-nude.

I keep getting distracted. So many things pop up on the map as you explore.

I'll echo Grel on the looting animation. There's so much to loot that I wish it were instant. Also wish the range was longer, and there was area loot.

I'm only playing on normal for my first playthrough, but I haven't found dual wield that bad. It's squishy but after a few skill upgrades it makes a little more sense. The skill that lowered my threat a ton was useful to staying alive. I like darting around.

All fear Firepig the dagger dorf.

So I may have hunted an area to the point that I can't take the specialty class I want because all the quest mobs for it are dead. fml

How do I gain access to specializations? Storywise, I just got to Skyhold, is it different for each specialization? Are they unlocked through the main story or are they found in side quests?

I really want a specialization

There's a mission in the war room board for it, three experts will come to skyhold and give you a quest for whichever specialization you want.
