Dragon Age: Inquisition is a great game to play ahead of the release of the latest title in the franchise, Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
The 2014 game is probably the largest title in the series and features a massive in-game world. It offers dozens of hours of content. Players who are excited to get into the upcoming title are advised to dive into Dragon Age: Inquisition to build up the lore.
However, Dragon Age: Inquisition can be somewhat overwhelming. This is particularly true for players who are new to the franchise. Fortunately, this beginner's tips and tricks guide helps you learn how to get started and be comfortable.
Keeping these pieces of advice in mind will let you avoid common mistakes that newcomers make when starting out. Dragon Age: Inquisition has a to offer and this can sometimes make it difficult to pinpoint a place to start.
Pay Attention to the Story
The story of Dragon Age: Inquisition is extensive and comprehensive and can be influenced to a degree by players. Class, backstory, and background differences will all have significant impacts on the lore, according to ScreenRant.
These factors will change how other characters, including the game's companions, treat the Inquisitor. There are also some class and race-specific dialogue options throughout Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Certain missions will also be affected, such as elves and Qunari starting with a significantly low court approval during Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts. On the other hand, humans do not suffer this same penalty.
Recruit Every Companion
The game's companions are crucial to a successful adventure and they also make gameplay even more entertaining.
This is particularly true during the long periods that you spend out in the field. They can also provide significant backup whenever you engage in battles.
You should try to recruit all of the companions you come across even if their personalities clash with your character's.
This would allow you to have a full and rich story experience along your journey. You can also unlock character quests and special moments by raising Companion Approval.
Get a Mount Early
Throughout your adventure in Dragon Age: Inquisition, you will travel across an expansive land with various features. This means that getting a mount as early as you can will help minimize the time you spend running around.
Players can get a mount fairly early in the game if they are observant enough and investigate Side Quests. The Master of Horses quest in particular will give you your very own Fereldan Forder mount, IGN said.
Make Use of Your Search Pulse
Dragon Age: Inquisition gives players the ability to send out a Search Pulse that lets them ping any interactive items nearby. They will then be given an orange outline for you to pick out from the other stuff.
When you see your compass begin to pulse, you should hit the search button to find hidden items. If you are close enough, you'll be able to reveal them completely.
Explore as Much as You Can
The world of Dragon Age: Inquisition is vast and exploration is part of the game's total experience. There are 10 open-world regions that you can traverse that are filled with various quests and earn you Power points.
This is a form of currency in the game that can be spent to unlock both story quests and new regions to explore. Players' story progress dictates which regions they have available for exploration.
One thing to note is that some regions are not designed to be explored by lower-level characters. Even the second area you unlock, Storm Coast, is not a region you should jump into immediately, according to DigitalTrends.
