Dragon Age Inquisition

I got a cut scene with Iron Bull after the Crestwood Dragon, he was talking about a whole other scenario with a different Dragon so maybe the script bugged out a bit there... hopefully I will still meet the Dragon on the Hinterlands... although I think I do remember one there but ran away screaming! lol I haven't seen it since, although I did kill some Dragonlings later on when I was at a higher level.
I'll try to look for it tonight with Iron Bull..

Maybe that dialogue happens after any dragon as long as it's the first you kill with Bull there. It's just usually the one in The Hinterlands because it's the first area you're in and I think most people stumble across it early on (and die, lol).
The final one in Emprise du Leon is amazing.

I finished Trespasser.
Hooooooooooooooo!!!!!
It was very good. Some great closure, a far better ending than the main game proper, and setting up a HELL of a lot of intrigue for the next game, with some not-so-subtle hints as to where it will be set, and obvious bloody neon flashing signs as to what it'll be about.
And ALL THE LORE.

Well, you have to leave Trespasser until you've done absolutely everything else, because there's no going back, it ends and that's it. Hakkon and The Descent both have high level enemies and are quite tough in terms of combat. They scale with your level, but will only do so from a certain point onwards. I think you're expected to be around level 20 for one of them, I can't quite remember. It would be possible to go to the Hakkon location and leave and do other stuff and come back again, it's basically just an outdoor map like the other main areas. Probably possible for The Descent too but it would feel a bit weird to do so, since it's all based in the Deep Roads. I'm probably going to leave The Descent until just before Trespasser most of the time, not sure about Hakkon.
It's an amazing game!
My evening sign out routine involves getting a kiss from Cullen then heading over to my apartment, changing clothes and looking out over the balcony at the mountains.
It's so nice to start again the next day all fresh etc rather than being stuck in a bog, dungeon or wherever you were questing the night before

In Jaws of Haakon there are 4 level 30 despair demons you fight at the same time. Level cap for you and your companions is 27. THAT'S FUN.
I'm on my final push to defeat Corypheus, I need to clear all my outstanding war table missions first though, we have belts of focus, lots of bees (they seem to be the best thing against red templars etc), Some of us have seriously pimped well crafted formal attire armour which weirdly enough has a huge armour rating.
I managed to pick up something which makes be invisible periodically, and a weird resuscitation ability with shields that spin around me.
I have doped Cassandra up with loads of Mighty Offense Tonic.. she is unbeatable on that stuff.
Vivienne is mastering her Knight Enchanter skills, Varric... well I just look out for him as much as possible and feed him healing potions.
They are the best team ever..
Other team members such as Cole, Sera, Dorian, Iron Bull etc are great for chatter though.
I'm only level 19 and still have loads of secondary quests to do so it may be a while before I commit to what they are saying is the final push.. I have a feeling that it may not be..
The Venatori are falling like flies, I am empowering the Dalish Elves, recruiting agents, including Michel! Setting up outposts, including Caer Bronach in Crestwood with its handy crafting merchandise
I fought side by side with Cullen and defeated Samson...
I'm trying to string out the game for as long as possible as I cant see anything as good coming out until ME Andromeda..

Michel! I was so glad to see him. I wish he'd had more of a role.
And I really, really wish we'd seen Rhys and Evangeline, but I don't give up hope for future games.
Do you have the DLC? You really, really should get the DLC. I don't count the final battle against Coryphyspit as the actual ending. The real ending is at the end of the Trespasser DLC. You can't do anything after you finish Trespasser, but you can go and finish quests after you beat Corysplat, so don't worry too much about that. Do the 'final' quest when it feels right for you.
And when you have beaten Coryphyshits and do your bits and bobs and get the credits, DO NOT SKIP THE CREDITS. There is a post-Avengers-style scene that is CRUCIAL. Seriously, to have that in a place where a lot of people might miss it is crazy
IT IS SUPER IMPORTANT and relates to Trespasser.
I shall say no more.

The judgement missions haven't come up again, other than potentially having a new war table mission if you send them off to do your work for you or something. It might mean the odd cameo in a future game, but I can't see it being important.
Interestingly, there are a couple of 'real' consequences late in the game and/or DLC that reflect your earlier choices, one of which you probably didn't have much of an idea was that important at the time, one of which was clearly important at the time. People have bitched and moaned about both, no doubt the same people who bitch and moan that there are no consequences to their actions
People are silly.
I like the game to make me hurt when I do something. That's what it's all about!

So who have you ended up romancing?
Cullen.. He is nice enough but just seems to do what ever I tell him..
I think our romance has peaked to be honest as I no longer get new cut scenes with him. But I'm not sure about the other options tbh. I can't bear Solas' heavy breathing during combat, he's obviously not as fit as he makes out.
Blackwall is just Blackwall and I can't stand the way he begrudgingly says 'you are after all in charge' whenever we have a conversation...
I'm going to replay as a feminine male version of my current character and enjoy more of Dorian

I'm finding it difficult to not just romance Sera everytime I speak to her, but no, this playthrough I have promised my dorf to Bull.
Sera is funny, we have had some good chats but I'm not sure if anything actually sinks in.
I think her campaign of anarchic civil disobedience is interesting though, it's just that she doesn't seem to have thought it through, or can't articulate her aims very well.
Cole is interesting in a similar way, although he is much more thoughtful.

Patch 11 (for PC, not sure what is in the PS4 patch) dropped yesterday, it includes fixes for everything the broke with Trespasser (well, most things). They were readying for the GOTY edition, which I believe went on sale yesterday. Not sure what was worth 4GB but if your patch schedule is different it might have included a few things all in one.

I am intrigued!!! Your first job when you get online is to tell me what happened!
I did one of the main quests 'What pride had wrought' am still feeling giddy about it
It all started at the war table when my advisors committed their troops to the 'final' push.
The cut scene had me shouting 'yes yes yes' whilst bouncing on the sofa and I wish we had a 'Dragon age' banner afterwards to help cement the momentous occasion, but I guess we know which game we are playing..
Here is the cut scene.. could contain spoilers... in fact don't watch this if you are going to play the game.. please..
I fought side by side with some of my advisors and then arrived at the Temple of Mythal!!! omg omg omg! I read several of the mosaic notes, which were fascinating, I will be going back to see if I missed any.
I spent ages trying to do the rituals then just jumped down the hole instead :/
I met some very very special people and really hope some at least survived, they were amazing.. and what does this mean for the Dalish and Thedas as a whole.. it sent tingles down my spine.. I loved those people
Then I did something that Morrigan wanted to do, I'm not sure if it was the best idea as I weirded out in the war room, Solas is really angry with me and Sera tried to kill me!! I shouted at her and she approved
I thought I had killed Samson earlier in the game but used Dagna's rune on him in the temple. Dagna has also weirded out after researching the rifts, I hope she will be ok and think she may hold the key to solving Corypheus' power. Also what we learnt about his companion is really really interesting, I'm looking forward to learning more about that!!
Back at skyhold I've spoken to Cassandra who seems keen on being the next Divine, I think it would be a great choice for her as I feel she wishes to brush off her thug image and really looks up to Vivienne. Selfishly I want her to continue fighting by my side.. for ever!
Leliana is also enthusiastic about being the Divine but I think she is too ruthless..
I left Cole in a catatonic state on a wall having an identity crisis, Dorian seems incredibly empowered.
All in all it was a brilliant quest which I think may have even surpassed my love of Mass Effect..
I was absorbed into every moment of it, every fibre of my being was strained as we fought our way to the Temple and encountered it's occupants, my fear at doing that thing Morrigan wanted to do, my utter regret at not completing the rituals and having to do that other thing (please please please let some of them survive) Solas shouted at me then too and I even shouted back at the tv! LOL saying 'well if the ritual was meant to be easy it wouldn't have been much of a barrier would it!!' and learning about how far Corypheus' power extends is frightening.
and lastly I went to see Cullen and got this cut scene

Dem thighs.
So, I'm spoilering my stuff so I can squee with you.

ksfgjbhdsougfhskjgbnskgjbkfsjgb That cutscene, watching it again made me well up. They do moments like that so well, I just wish there weren't such large swathes of busy work in between the good stuff in this game.
THE TEMPLE OF MYTHAL. God. I was SO excited to go there. Every single thing anyone says is dripping with hints and references to 'the big stuff'. And meeting the sentinels, I mean, that's amazing. You had Solas with you, yes? Did you look at all the statues of Mythal? DID YOU LOOK AT THEM??????
I also drank from the well - I was a dalish elf, so it made sense for me to do so. I was also romancing Sera, can you imagine how that went? Back at Skyhold we split up because she was just so angry and although I had the option to say the dalish stuff didn't matter to me, that would have been a lie for this character (even though she wasn't fanatical, it was after all the history of her people, and she believes that understanding history is important so you don't repeat the same mistakes again). So they split up and I was absolutely okay with that. It meant I didn't get all the sweet stuff at the end of the game or in Trespasser, but again, I'm more than okay with that. My canon Shepard in ME1 and 2 is single, romance isn't the important part of these games (although I do enjoy it).
About Leli being ruthless - you've been to the chantry where she confronts the chantry sister? What was the outcome of that? Did she kill her? That doesn't have to happen. That's one of the actual consequences I mentioned earlier. There are two moments earlier in the game where you are talking to Leli, and the way you respond helps shape her world view. If you haven't tried to convince her in the past that not killing is an option, then why would she listen to you at that important moment in the Chantry? Anyway, it has consequences for the type of Divine she would be. A lot of people got VERY angry about it, because the game in no way telegraphs that these early conversations are in any way important. BUT I LOVE THAT. I want my simple interactions to mean something. One of them was back in Haven, when you listen to a convo she's having with one of her scouts, about someone who betrayed her. She tells the scout to have them killed, and you can intervene either saying yes, no don't do that, or remain silent. If you do anything other than say don't do that she's already on the path to ruthlessness and nothing you do from then on will stop her from killing the chantry sister later and being a ruthless person. I can't remember what the second thing is, but you have to respond in the same kind of way.
I can't remember in what order you find lots of things out. I *think* some of what you find out isn't confirmed until the post-credits scene, so I don't want to say anything that might spoil you. So in spoilers if you want to save others, what were the things you found out, and what are you speculating about, what are your thoughts on what all this stuff at the temple means?
Honestly, I wish I could sit there and watch you play this

He has Geth thighs!!
Will reply to the temple stuff when I've investigated further tonight as I'm sure I missed stuff..
But yes Solas was with me, that was interesting.. to be honest I haven't been able to trust Solas in any way after watching the Trespasser DLC, and also after a significant thing happened early in the game, we went somewhere, then I woke up in bed!!
Sera is funny, she reminds me of a character in a book series 'The Infernal Devices' called Jessamine who was born a demon slaying shadow hunter.. but she hates shadow hunters...
I have tried to tone Leliana down, but think I missed a big option to do that at the chantry.. I think I could have asked someone to join us?
I try to support my team in their decisions (within reason).. letting Leli do her thing seemed ok at the time but her words afterwards made me shudder. However from what you said above it may have made no difference as I think I remained silent at a crucial time.
