Because Rook’s worth it.

      Is the combat like in DA1? With pause and “programmable” companions? I don’t watch/read reviews et al, hence the question 😁

        its skill and timing based this time. dodging, jump attacks, parrying, etc. ultimates also are here.

        its quite fun. companion moves are not automatic anymore and you can set certain combos to detonate. and unlike DA:I, companions can’t go down.

        skill trees are awesome and I’m looking forward to trying different builds with each class.

        the only downside is that enemies always target Rook. even with companions that can taunt, those taunts must be physically used by you and aren’t automatic.

        it makes a mage pretty hard when starting out, but super powerful mid to late game.

        was about 80 hours but that’s because I’m a Dragon Age nerd and I have to do every quest and lore bit 😅

        worth it, though.

            i didn’t get every single scrap of lore and all codex entries just yet, but for a first run I got all except one faction leveled to max, all companions hero status locked, all side quests done, and really good lore ending.

            was about 82 hours total. but I plan on doing more complete runs in future. i was just excited to be back.

            I’m a nerd and I really love Dragon Age, ok? 😅 lol
