#hissing wastes

[the-northern-continent]

This is probably relatable to no one, but one of my absolute favorite things to do in Dragon Age games is to kick the 2nd playthrough up to Nightmare mode… but instead of playing the combat as intended, I do the doofiest, most cheesed-up nonsense to powerlevel my way past problems.

In Inquisition I would drop into stealth and then run around the Hissing Wastes reading the most xp-rich journals known to man. In Veilguard I just defeated the qamekmaster at around level 8. Well, “defeated” is a strong word, I stood on the tiny strip of balcony that counts as “in the combat area” without actually dropping into the room. Under my very heroic supervision, Lucanis and Harding handled the problem.

I got almost 2 full levels out of it. 😅

Who is the best Dragon Age: Inquisition NPC, and why is it Betyar, the Canyon Merchant's mabari assistant?

hey why doesn’t anyone talk about how MASSIVE the hissing wastes map is? There’s 7 camps in that thing. I never use my mount except here because. God. It goes on forever

also grumpy bc I brought dorian and bull out together to listen to them flirt but instead theyre just flirting with varric, who I brought for dwarf bonding time

Excuse me but what the hell kind of design choice are the Hissing Wastes? Why is it in eternal night? I keep thinking I can't wait to see this place during the day then I remember it's never going to happen, like, what the hell?!

sometimes a video game with a bad story has a good secret story that you can unlock if you pretend the bad parts aren’t there and make up a bunch of stuff

'the hissing wastes suck' wow what a way to admit you've never experienced the joy of listening to iron bull wax archaeologic about ancient dwarven building techniques

[vigilskeep]

ok i think the original schedule i had in mind was stupid bc everyone says the inquisition dlcs are good and i don’t actually want to rush each of them in a day. or rush the end of toram’s playthrough and be unsatisfied with it. but i should still get the base game done by thursday. if i don’t manage any of the dlcs i’ll do them in breaks from veilguard like fun little flashback interludes

CONFESSION:

It makes me sad thinking Betyar's owner was likely killed by Red Templars or Venatori and that faithful dog is going to spend the rest of his days guarding the shop and surviving by eating the remains of dead spiders. We not only don't deserve the loyalty of dogs in real life but in games too.
