I think that is option one. My flight is about to take off so I can't check.

Quick update, my internet connectivity is not so reliable here. I will update things when I get home tomorrow.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

Holy crap does Dragon Age: Inquisition have a lot of content. Granted, there's a ton of glorified fetch quests, but I'm approaching hour 90 and still have 3 zones I've barely done anything in, one I've mostly finished off, and a bunch I've done about half the stuff in. And I still have at least one main quest to unlock and complete (Not sure how close to the end I am as I'm trying to avoid spoilers.) and two companion quests to do. I've also only taken down one of the ten (optional) dragons.

nice! I've been watching D play Far Cry 4 and it seems to be similar in terms of richness of content. I feel like I watched him play and explore all kinds of territory for at least 5 hours and then he pulled up the map and it looked as if he'd uncovered less than 1/15th of it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's like Skyrim levels of crazy. And (neither seeking nor avoiding spoilers) I gather that I'm roughly at the end of act 1 of 3. SO MUCH GAME.

Okay, based on how much blank space there is left on Solas' walls, I'd guess I have two major story arcs left.
I did have one immersion-breaking moment which I find incredibly frustrating. (spoiler for elf inquisitor): I made the wrong choice on a War Table mission and my entire clan got wiped out. Which, okay, fine, I made a mistake and actions have consequences, but none of my companions or advisers actually acknowledge what happened outside of the little war table report. You'd think that someone would have a reaction of some sort.

I've been having some bad experiences with Dragon Age: Inquisition. 1) I can't even count how many times my audio has stopped when I approach NPCs. The NPCs will move around, but the subtitles and dialogue no longer play. 2) I lost 5 hours when my saves didn't actually save. No autosaves existed during that time either even though the save icon appeared often. That was so frustrating for me!
On the nitpickly front, it just feels too much like Skyrim. I don't feel like I'm playing a Dragon Age game.
But, I a took a break for a few weeks (for the wedding and Christmas), and I'll probably start playing again this week.

Thankfully the only bugs I've been experiencing have been lack of companion banter at times and companions not where they're supposed to be back at base. (But a quick save and reload typically fixes the latter.)
I do know that the experience has run the gamut for a lot of people, from a completely flawless performance to basically unplayable. Sometimes identical hardware has drastically different performance. Which is frustrating for the players, and I'm sure frustrating for Bioware, since it makes it harder to single out a cause. But losing 5 hours of gameplay would definitely be incredibly aggravating.
I've never actually played Skyrim or the like, so I can't really compare it. The open world bits took awhile to win me over but it still feels like Dragon Age to me. I'm really enjoying getting to know the various companions and I'm finding the storyline interesting. I just wish you could have more than 8 abilities assigned at one time. I miss my mage having the massive spell list from Origins.
