GOD, would someone make a mod that allows for more than 8 abilities already? I want to do a 2nd playthrough!
Has anybody seen any mods come out yet, texture/character model mods or otherwise?
It does seem like the 8-skill limit makes new skill points mostly useless on your active character by your late teens. You can snag new passives, but meh.
Although at least the AI can use more than 8 skills with tactics.
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
Pretty upset at him over that whole massive-lie-to-cover-awful-war-crimes thing.
When Blackwall showed up to the party's card game night, I was like hey who invited Blackwall! Ahh god damn it Blackwall! Don't sit there and laugh at jokes like we're friends!

First, Loghain kills the Archdemon and lives via the Dark Promise. Mage Warden never has a love and interest, stabs Morrigan.
Alistair marries Anora and they both rule. Meaning that Anora has a half-brother and Alistair is related to Morrigan's kid via marriage. Meaning Godbaby is brother-in-law to Alistair and his father-in-law is still alive. Awkward family reunions ensured.
Second, Mage Hawke loses his sister fleeing Lothering, brother in the Deep Roads, then mother, and never has a love interest. His asshole uncle reconciles with his daughter.
Hawke is sacrificed in to the Nightmare and Loghain survives, returning to Weisshaupt to fight in the Warden Civil War. Since almost his entire family is dead, except for his dick uncle, and nobody loves Hawke except Varrick, Hawke has nothing worth living for and gives his life for the Inquisition in the Fade.
In the end I am making Hawke a tragic hero who falls and Loghain a fallen hero who seeks redemption.
It's going to be...
I'm not sure I can take any run that has Loghain around seriously.

I'm really confused
If you were really that mad at him, why not turn him over to Orlais for judgement? The reason I didn't was that I still loved him despite the things he did.
Playing on Nightmare, I think I might need to do two schematic rushes: Val Royeaux to buy tier 2, Forbidden Oasis for paragon's luster so I have things to use for the next several levels, and then Hissing Wastes for tier 3/volcanic aurum and Emprise du Lion once I have a few decent things made.
I'm pretty much doing this. The tricky bit will be getting the Emprise de Lion tier 3 weapons. There are a few good ones realtively easily available in Hissing Wastes. Like I got the best bow schematic in the game in a tomb right next to a camp I could get to by avoiding enemies.
I'm playing through the first time on Nightmare. (...On a Mage. I played through the first 6 levels or so as a Rogue, then the first 4 as a Warrior, until deciding on Mage ultimately.)
Are going for specific schematics really necessary? I've cleared out around a third of the Hinterlands, and it's been comfortably challenging.
Although at least the AI can use more than 8 skills with tactics.
Can they? I took the chainshot thing off Iron Bull's quickslots since he kept pulling people away from me, and I haven't seen him use it since. Do you have to set it to preferred or something?

My nightmare run on my Mage is pretty easy so far. After some consideration, I eventually decided on Knight-Enchanter/Spirit/Frost as my areas of expertise. I've done it before, sure, and it's a little cheap, sure, but it was also fun and I figure that since I'm on Nightmare I can use this spec without guilt.
Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.

There's no reliable drop spot for tier 2 schematics, right? Getting nearly 6k gold to give everyone good weapons from the shop is slightly daunting, since I'm under 400 right now.

I took out all of Celene's competition and she was buddy-buddy with the Inquisition for a while, but then started giving us the cold shoulder and ignoring us. I think not. If I have to murder her during my second run, so be it. No one will ignore the Cult of the Inquisitor.
I'm kinda underwhelmed by frost. The CC doesn't last very long -- the fear from Fire lasts way longer. And the damage is meh, and the cool downs are way long.

I asked Orlais to turn him over because I wanted to be the one to exile, imprison or pardon him - I wanted to see what he said in his defense and see how I felt in the moment.
But then all three of your options involve keeping him around for the rest of the adventure.

It's best for setting up shatter combos and has some extra defensive measures later in the tree. I like it more as a side tree, though, because it has a couple very useful skills.
Oh this is just like you, Inquisition. We get to a fancy masked ball with politics and intrigue everywhere, stuff's getting interesting, I'm actually worried about keeping a low profile...
...and then you want me to collect ten statutes, fifteen coins, and thirty fucking secrets
why inquisition
were the sidequest people paid by the hour or something

I was the same way.
I wanted to judge him. I actually planned on imprisoning or executing him myself.
But since that wasn't in the cards, I sentenced him to actually complete the Joining once Cory-puss was defeated.

So I've finished the game and it was good. But I am sad that my decision in DA:O to
make an army of werewolves
never comes up once anywhere in DA:I. I even did that side quest in DA2 to help them. But I guess it wasn't a popular enough choice to mention anywhere in DA:I. Though one of their heads is mounted on a wall at the ball. >_<
The one mod I want is an option to not wear the stupid inquisitor's outfit.. ever.
There are some that are set drops or set merchant items, and then the rest you'll find in chests mostly in Emprise du Lion. You can buy some from a merchant in Hissing Wastes (I think you have to have the Short List perk)
Are you the magic man?

@Vagrant_Winds and @Invisible you can chest farm for T3 schematics out the ass. Last time I did I know I got half a dozen dagger/dual dagger recipes. I may have them all at this point. You simply need to leave a single item in a chest, and when you come back to that zone it will have respawned loot. The Cradle of Sulee-whatever is pretty much the go to place for it. Google Tier 3 schematic farming. I can't provide you with links atm, but it's simple and well documented online. My basic run is going to the cradle, popping to the drakon camp in emprise, grabbing silverite if I need it by the body spawn, and then proceeding into the darkspawn cave to hit those chests. Then back to cradle. Keep in mind cradle mobs are only 11, Templars between you and the body that unlocks cradle are 16, and darkspawn in the dungeon (optional) are 18. The tombs in hissing wastes have a greatsword/dagger/sword/? recipe in them. I have yet to find a better 1h than the axe in there across two playthroughs. Hissing wastes also has T3 cloth/metal/leather and is easier to tackle piecmeal.
For T3 schematics I would say the best route is to grab snowfleur hide and the staff recipe by the falls in emprise that require no fighting, and there are a few everite spawns as well that can add up to a weapon or two. That should be enough to get the stuff from hissing wastes, though it might be unneccesary as I don't remember having to kill much at all there for the recipes/materials. It's empty enough, and even has the benefit of the armor vendor at the canyon who sells T3 armors. Once you get to that point you should be able to get to the body that opens the cradle on the war table in emprise, and holy shit does everything come free. Some of the stuff in cradle even spawns material drops of t2-3 cloth/leather/metal. I have gotten everyth ing from great bear hide to sea silk and everite in there. Should be called cradle of crafting.

The mana regen while standing still is probably one of the best passives in the game
So I am not sure why you would want a Rogue with the AoE daggers. Doesn't that jack their threat level through the roof? Rogues are made of paper mache' in this game and can't really stand the attention (I gave Cole a couple of them and he took many dirt naps). You'd think they'd just want single target damage.

It may be because I went rift Mage and so was pretty much always at full mana but it really didn't seem to make much of a difference when I had it.

Thanks for the tips. Chest Exploiting sounds somewhat annoying and aggravating so I'll probably not do it this first playthrough.
