I'm really struggling with Dragon Age: Inquisition, both in gameplay and patience. First off, its buggy as all hell, with my companions getting clipped into walls, rocks, trees, etc... in the middle of a fight, effectively reducing my party size by 1 or more, which is just delightful! Once I jumped off a cliff, clipped into a tree, jumped off that and just walked across a good half of the Hinterlands in midair, just walking. Eventually found a castle wall at my height and that seemed to get the game back on track.
Also random enemy spawning? Getting kinda tiring. And I don't mean enemies that come back, I like that. Means I don't get bored walking through the Witchwood or whatever. I'm talking about enemies literally appearing out of nowhere, either while I'm in conversation with an NPC or worse, already in a fight. I've been trying to collect great bear claws for about an hour now, but every time I manage to isolate one, either more bears randomly appear(not that they walk up, but they just pop into existence) or bandits/mages/Templars again pop into existence and its usually enough to tip the balance of the fight and I die.
So that's fun!
Also a little hint on levels of quests or enemies would be nice. I've breezed through rifts in one area, only to have the last one (the apparently infamous river rift) being twice my level with no warning or hint or anything. Just boom, the quest went from lvl 6 to lvl 12 in one rift. Not exactly fun.
The sudden and oh so funny level shifts in quests combined with the random teleporting enemies is making this game a real drag. According to my save file, I've played 8+ hours, and I'm level 6. Half my time is spent in trial and error gameplay. I'm lucky to get two quests done without dying and going back half an hour. I have no idea how to proceed because as far as I can tell, all my quests are for higher level, not that the games tells me that. I just had to figure out on my own that my party can't kill a single zombie, or that a random dragon in the starting area is 20+ levels my superior, or that whatever those ice daemons things are are fucking ridiculous with those damn ice beams.
Anyone else struggling? Does it get better? Are they going to patch the glitches or add text color to quests, red for too hard all the way down to white for too easy?
Something? ANYTHING?!
