I saw Isabella DLC and got super excited. Then I saw multiplayer and completely lost interest.

On siding with Templars
What happens to the Redcliffe Village if I side with the Templars? Can I still do the quests etc? The Templar hideout gets destroyed if you side with the mages, so I'm a little worried.
I like Lelianna and I think that's mostly because I'm pretty sure she hates me, since I'm a mage. But she puts that aside for the greater good and performs to the best of her ability. Even in the mage storyline she spat some venom at me and then immediately assisted us to the goal.
It is a far cry from her DA1 incarnation which I hated and left behind at every available opportunity. Mostly because I gave her bows and she still found her way into every spell the enemy had focused on the melee.
Wait, what? Doesn't Leliana like mages and want them to be free? I don't remember her hating my mage character or disparaging mages.

Leliana chewed me out when I conscripted the Mages, when I allied with them, Cullen was the annoyed one.

Leliana's personality is WAY different depending on whether or not she's softened in DAI (regardless of hardening in DAO).

Any time mages come up as a subject I can feel an underlying hardness to her. This was especially pronounced when I chose the Mage side and
found her in the future. Remember the first thing she said when Dorian said he might be able to open a rift back to the original time? "This is why people fear mages," and she said it with venom, following up with the bits about how it's not just turning back the clock to undo it all because their suffering was real.
I know the context, but it did not feel like something she came to over the course of that time, but something she's kept bottled up for a while. Even in the current events she's rather curt when I say I don't really know anything about the Maker or if I believe I'm the Herald (I keep saying I'm not the Herald because the idea of being a self-made savior is far more appealing than it being heaven-ordained).
Which is a mage thing. Mages tend not to believe in the Maker because they've gone into the Fade and seen what it's like over there. The Black City is in the distance at all times but otherwise there's no evidence the Maker even exists, or if he did he's long gone. Which is why the characters who keep professing to the Maker and trying to force me to do so or say I'm his messenger are annoying. When the big bad came up to me and said
he'd seen the throne and it was empty from the start my first thought was, "No shit sherlock."

That seems like quite a generalization. Especially considering two of the three mages on your own team are explicitly Andrastian.
Not to mention all the mage-priests in the Imperial Chantry. Which is to say, every priest in the Imperial Chantry.
Plus there is quite a bit of lore that suggests that when one goes into the fade
One can only find what they expect to find. So him finding an empty throne means absolutely zilch, other than he thought he would.
Plus, as for what the maker would be, if he is:
He's Lyrium. You're eating the maker.

Oh gog when Leliana showed up on the Mage mission I lost my shit
You don't care much for this potential fail-state world? Here's some of the characters you like having their shit pushed in. Look, Leliana's got a new hamburger face!

So, how difficult is nightmare? Can you just kind of grind experience and brute force the game by over leveling, or do you have to micromanage all the time?
Wait... with the Black Emporium, does that mean I can redo Solas' skills? Because I'm pretty convinced I fucked him up. I wasn't sure what trees I wanted him to go into, and picked some skills from several.
In the room/building where you craft equipment, there is a dwarven flag you can use to buy/sell, and it only sells one item.
It's a necklace that, when equipped, refunds all your skill points. Works on anyone. Costs a little bit, but not much, and the stock is infinite.
It's been there since the game launched. Kinda required since even companions don't get their advanced tree at first. You should respec them all when you hit Skyhold for that reason.
Whatever item duping exploit there was awhile back (in singleplayer, mind you) was fixed by..........removing the items people were duping. Entirely. From the game.
Which were the amulets of power that were sidequest rewards and used to grant skills to your party/inquisitor.
And of course there is the usual 'Bioware hasn't said jack on this despite repeated requests'. Which, going by Mass Effect, - with several major single player bugs STILL around - means ironically a fix for the fix is unlikely.
Oh, and apparently the actual dupe still works. That is just fucking lazy coding.
This tint stuff is killing me. I can't stop fucking with it. And assigning colors to each character. Black for Blackwall and Cass, Blue for Cole and Sera, Brown/Red for Varric, White for Dorian and Vivienne, and the gaudiest yellow for Bull, of course. Oh, and Green for Solas.

Hmm.. Based on your description, I wonder if they even were trying to patch out the duping. The amulet removal might have just been an accident or an unrelated issue.
It's hard to imagine BioWare/EA would dedicate resources to a single-player-only duping bug if that's all it was. I can't imagine that they'd care if it wasn't causing problems elsewhere in the game.

2.7GB patch is out on PSN.
Highlights:
Added trophies for Jaws of Hakkon
New thrones for people who played DA:O and DA2
Can now salvage multiple items at once in MP
Nerfed spirit blade in MP
Nerfed Wrath of Heaven in MP
Fixed a bunch of stuff (Including the bugged dragon slaying trophy)
So have they fixed the issue where I try to judge people, get a black screen for several minutes, then the screen goes back to normal and everyone is in position but I'm able to run around and can't interact with the chair anymore?

That's the american justice system, working as intended.

I make Iron Bull wear dawnstone pink. It's pretty.

Since they added the Jaws of Hakkon trophies, and they're gearing up to push out Dragonslayer and The Black Emporium tomorrow, I wonder if we're going to see JoH on the other platforms at the same time.
The Witcher III is coming up REALLY soon, so it'd probably be wise to ride that anticipation wave.
ETA: I think there was some sort of discussion that BioWare was unable to disclose specifics of how long it would take for the timed exclusivity window to close. So that would explain the lack of promotion, I suppose.
There was something multiplayer updated today for PC.
Don't know what it is since I haven't touched multiplayer. The patch that came with it fixed a lot of bestiary drops though! I finally found some nug feet!
(Current playthrough hasn't even done hushed whispers yet, clocks in at 30 hours so far. Jesus this game eats your time.)
I really loved the costumes and armour for other characters in this game, but felt like the stuff available for the inquisitor was pretty dull and mishmashy. I do love the tinting system tho
I also don't like how a lot of the armour in this game is factional, so I find an armour design I like, only to realise it's the same amour my enemies wear. It makes no sense, why would the Inquisitor wear Tevinter venatori armour?

Intimidation, and because the Inquisitor is half-crazy.
"Yo, I took this off the corpse of one of your dudes and just put it on. Weird, right?"
The only good thing about the Skyhold pajamas is that they were kind of logical as the clothing being worn as the base layer of the custom Inquisition armor you could make.
Spoilerd for largeness
So, it makes sense that they are being worn when lounging after taking the rest off. They just look awful.
