I want to give Dragon Age: Inquisition another go. I've played the first 2 hours atleast 3 times now but never stuck with it.

EDIT:
Smashed through 5 hours worth. Right now the story is kind of weak, though It works like a solo player MMO styled game. :idk:

I also forgot to change my character's eyebrows and it's kind of bugging me now, but now i'm pretty much invested in this save file.

If anyone is looking to have some fun, play Earthshaker in Dota 2 and peep this build:

The most fucking fun I've ever had, absolutely hilarious. Nothing demoralizes people more than some jackass jumping out of nowhere and then critting them for over 2000.

Think I've hit a wall with Dark Souls. When I walk into an area and get killed in a fight with a regular enemy without making any progress, I just don't have the desire to keep going anymore.

Where at? What enemy? Dark Souls have never been about brute forcing your way through something. Maybe try and rethink and switch up your strategy.

Most importantly, don't be rushing shit. Rushing it ends with you dead.

SPOILER : show
Dragon Barracks

I switched from Washing Pole to shortsword, because I can't get down with fat rolling (using brass armor and Shield Of Want.)
I'm fighting patiently, but just seem to get my ass handed to me by enemies I've had no problem with before.

Well if you're fat rolling with that, it sounds like your Vitality is at straight shit. Shield of Want is only .5 over the Dragoncrest Shield, and Brass Armor isn't that heavy. What is your vitality at? (and for that matter, what are your stats at?)

My build is at 25 vitality right now, and thats using Knight Artorias set, Twinblades (extra weight for two blades), Shield of Want, Bow, and two staves for each hand.

Oh, no, yeah, my vitality is shit. I never really considered equip load vital.
I've never played this deep into a DS game, so I don't really have much in the way of build knowledge.
Level 74
Vigor 28
Endurance 25
Vitality 13
Strength 18
Dexterity 40

well vitality is going to allow you to wear better shit so you can roll out of the way quicker, but if you do get hit it won't destroy you. you should level that up immediately.

also, it's alright going with dex weapons, but you're at a level where it's going to be putting a lot in to get a little out now. spread those points around.

I haven't been reading this thread at all because I didn't have DkS3. :joy:

Downloading now. Going to be my first nearly-completely-unspoiled Souls run. :omg:

Dropping out of thread until I finish the game. :!!!:
