I don't do it games where the "we threw a ton of this shit on here just to say we did"-ness of it is that obvious
Later batman games for example
It super bugs me when they lock costume pieces or unique weapons behind that stuff.
I'd rather there be something behind it personally
Okay, normal ones you can obtain in game are fine, but putting that stuff behind chests that can only be obtained through other linked apps or websites that are broken is stupid.

Oh goodness the Cullen romance is the gushiest marshmallow and I love it.
It's goddamn adorable
Also, Cullen romance spoilers:
I had to laugh at how they animated the Inquisitor to perfectly block Cullen's little templar from the camera, instead of having him be covered by a sheet or something.
ALSO that scene made me realize there's a hole in the roof of his bedroom, is there an option to renovate that? Can't have our knight-commander freezing to death!
All right, I guess I'm just about to finish the game.
I'm assuming I can still complete my dragon genocide after the final story quest? Because I'm anxious to get it done and I'm realizing that I really don't have any other sidequests I care about completing.
Also, Cassandra definitely rates among my favorite Bioware characters, right alongside Varric and Garrus. Whoever was in charge of her dialogue did an outstanding job.

Yeah his roof and the tower block next to it never get fixed up. It kinda bugged me. Like the hall leading to the war table. Like really guys? There are stone blocks right in the middle of the hallway. Get some people to clean it up or something, it is a huge safety hazard!

Yep. Although if you beat the Emprise dragons already, those are the most difficult ones down.
By the time we got to it I could mostly guess what Blackwall's deal is, and we wrapped it all up pretty quickly so I don't know that it'll be one of the more memorable quests
But uh holy hell let's talk about the stuff with the Seekers and the revelation that Cassandra was Tranquil
That is kind of terrifying
But I guess also kinda makes sense that the reason she's so resolute and unshakable is because she was linked to a full on faith spirit

I beat two of them. Gonna beat the third one tonight.
Then I'll have three more remaining. I...just need to figure out where the fuck they are.

I remember her talking earlier about how breaking the year long fast was the most indescribably wonderful feeling in the world that gave her an unshakable faith in the maker and thought something was up with that then oh
I am also interested in where I can find some good schematics
at this point I have a bunch of good materials but I don't want to waste them on my weak schematics
If I'm going to drop 10+ Dragon Bone on a weapon I better be able to make it count

There is apparently no way to get a tier 3 longsword schematic except from random loot drops. Pretty sure I finished the game with everyone having tier 2 weapons since I gave up after finding that out.

By the time I finished the Tomb of Fariel quest in the Hissing Wastes, I was rewarded with Tier 3 Masterwork schematics for Greatsword, Single-Hand Axe, Longbow, and Dual-Bladed Daggers. Also the Merchant in that area sells non-Masterwork Tier 3 schematics for all three varieties of armor, as well as separate patterns for a Human-only Heavy set and an Elf-only Medium set (though remember Sera is not Elf-trained).
I have not been to Emprise, I wonder if it might have the Masterwork Tier 3 Staff pattern somewhere? I am kinda bummed I didn't get it yet.
I found the tier 3 masterwork staff pattern in the keep's shop, actually
And an axe
I can't tell if it's one-handed or two-handed, though
Oh! I might just make a temporary non-Masterwork staff since it may be a bit more adventuring for me before I can really go around clearing towards a keep in Emprise, around what level were the enemies?

Its never good and I always do it
I'm broken inside
Unity actually broke me on it.

Generally at least some of the ones in AC games will get you a new armor or weapon though
I'd rather there be something behind it personally
yeah, same here
but it also needs to be a reasonable number of collectibles, or have a way to locate them beyond stumbling around

Oh yeah no argument there

I turned in the requisition already but I'm not sure where the thing is to activate and choose the kind of tower I want
It's on the wall, near the actual tower. Look for the exclamation point on the Skyhold map.
Steam
There's an intractable on the wall above the garden. You can take the stairs in there to get to it.
Emprise is, I believe, the highest-level area in the game.
Hissing Wastes is literally the worst. Go in, find a schematics vendor and just leave.
Steam
The keep in Emprise has a couple. Can't tell what they are. Masterwork, I think, and level 3
Not as hype as I could be. I want a tier 3 greatsword schematic. Masterwork is strictly optional.
at this point I have a bunch of good materials but I don't want to waste them on my weak schematics

Okay i think something is wrong here

I got a tier 3 greataxe schematic from doing an operation... but I totally forgot which one it was
If I'm going to drop 10+ Dragon Bone on a weapon I better be able to make it count
Oh. That would be why my level 17+ groups were having some difficulty progressing.
I'll accept a tier 3 greataxe schematic
It's enough for Dragon's Rage at any rate

I'm sure there will be no hard choices on this quest
