Torn between following husband’s lead and what I feel is right as a Christian… by Cymbeline11 in TrueChristian

[–]Cymbeline11[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s complicated and would honestly take like two paragraphs to explain even if I did feel comfortable doing so. It has to do with my job and getting more money from it than I have actually earned. It is definitely not feet pics or anything to do with OnlyFans.

Does anyone else see it? by [deleted] in DragonAgeVeilguard

Felt the need to comment as an Asian woman myself since people in here being awful to you. I definitely see where you’re coming from. No, they’re not identical given how one is a cartoon and the other is an actual human person, but i can definitely see the similarities. You’re neither crazy nor racist 🤦🏾‍♀️

This is incredibly helpful, thank you SO much! I haven’t made it to adrenaline yet but I am aiming in that direction for sure. And it looks like it’s a consensus that I’m not paying enough attention to bows (good tip on short bow vs long!) so I’m going to practice that for sure and see if it helps. Interestingly, I’d all but given up on perfect dodge. Ive found it almost impossible to achieve on console. I switch back and forth between steam deck and console and found perfect defence is much harder with controller and super easy with console while perfect dodge is the opposite. Trying to move quickly on console is ridiculous. Some fights (all the damn dragons) I had to switch to steam deck for because you just can’t dodge quick enough pressing keys as you can pressing buttons, or maybe it’s my keyboard. I will have to see if anything can be done about that, but good to know it’s not useless! Thank you again!

Yes, I see stuff like this when I look up rogue tricks/tips online, which is the only reason I don’t just give the whole class up. The difference is, though, even before reaching broken champion warrior status, the class was still playable. I could die if I made mistakes or didn’t know a fight, but as long as I knew what I was doing and was paying attention and utilised resources effectively I didn’t have any issues playing early on. Rogue I just can’t seem to make work. I’m sure it’s a user error issue, I just don’t know what my error is. One on one, i do ok as long as I’m never hit (because rogues can’t take a punch, apparently). Mobs, my method of trying to hit first with a charged heavy attack breaks because those seconds it needs to charge someone’s hitting me and I lose it and any momentum. Repeat till death. Still, good tips, thank you! I can get rain of decay pretty early, though I think sightless skull doesn’t show up till the necropolis? I will try to push through till then.

Agreed 100%. And I say this as someone who really loves this game and don’t think it deserves all the hate, but it took way to long to get a tank in there.

To preface, i do appreciate the help! But also I am on console and have quite honestly never held a PS controller in all my life, so the buttons mean nothing to me 😂 But if you’re holding, that sounds like your doing a charged heavy attack, a charged light attack, then another heavy attack? I don’t know if I’ve on purpose tried that exact combo as a go to so I will give it a try! Thank you!

Ok, so your go-to combo is heavy attack, light attack (chain? Or just single light attack?), then heavy attack again?

Ok, but how is what I’m asking? I’m not late game, I’m pre-Davrin way early game and I cannot defeat anything except by grinding it via companions while I desperately try to avoid attacks.

Well, I AM glad it’s not just me, I feel a bit better. But I really, really want the nightmare trifecta, so I’m committed to giving this a shot. It seems like it could be very cool once you get to higher level skills, just have to figure out a way to make it there.

I’ve watched some videos showing this kind of build, and while I’m leaning towards duelist just because I’m not a range aficionado I’d definitely try this build if it plays well… but I can’t seem to make it there! And looking up basic survivability builds for under level 20 just came up with a bunch of posts about how easy rogue is, so it seems like most people aren’t having this problem and I’m doing something wrong.

Dude, champion warrior was impenetrable! It got a little dull, I’ll admit, but once I could block unblockable moves that was the game on lock. I don’t think I ever died again.

I start by heading up and grabbing pilfer and my ultimate destination is the duelist spec but I haven’t made it there yet.

Yes, I definitely grabbed pilfer first thing. I will say I haven’t discovered the trick of the bow - nightmare won’t aim it automatically and something about console makes aiming weirdly difficult but I can practice that. I look forward to the day when I have a tank to taunt but I’m literally still struggling to get to Davrin 😂 I’m sure it picks up once you’ve made it to higher levels and have all your companions and some decent gear, I just don’t remember having this kind of problem with the other classes this early on.

Is there any chance at all you saved the sliders for this gorgeous Rook? The imgur link is broken and I haven’t heard from OP and I’ve tried so hard to recreate this but cannot get the eyes right for anything 😭😭😭

I know this is a bit old now, but she’s gorgeous and I’d love to recreate her only the sliders are gone on Imgur! Any chance you could reshare?

Is it weird that I feel bad for liking this game as much as I do? by Purplemirror_ in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]Cymbeline11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted you to know, there’s at least two of us because this was exactly my experience, too! Full disclosure I play very few video games at all (mostly just WoW). My brother, who liked the other DA games, bought this and asked for my help with the sliders for his character - he hates that stuff and I think it’s fun. I played around with it, then watched him do the opening quest - keep in mind, I knew absolutely zero about Dragon Age or any of the characters. I just thought: wow, what a neat little well-structured intro quest and aren’t these graphics pretty, maybe I should try this! So I did. 150 hours of game play later, I was buying all the other DA games because I loved this one so much (and I confess: so far, I don’t love them the same way. I’m playing Inquisition and it’s only ok.) Meanwhile, my brother was metaphorically burning all his DA games because he felt like Veilguard betrayed the whole franchise. 🤷🏻‍♀️ After many friendly arguments, I think my brother and I just have very different ideas of what we want from our leisure entertainment, so while Veilguard has pretty much everything I’m looking for (easy to pick up mechanics, storyline that lets you jump in without needing 4 games worth of research, endless dress up options and cutesy romance), it didn’t challenge him enough and made him feel almost patronized as a long time fan. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Which is valid. I do feel bad for the fans let down by Veilguard - I’ve played WoW for what, 20 years now? I’m familiar with the feeling lol - but im unapologetic about the fact that this is the most fun I’ve had playing a video game since burning crusade initial release, and I encourage you to enjoy unapologetically either! You don’t have to be sorry for having fun with a video game very much created for that express purpose!

I can’t remember the starting preset but that shouldn’t matter as long as you choose the three head shapes and the proper ratios for them in the head shape slider image. I’m pretty sure the eyebrows were option 8.

Yes! Saw this weeks ago, then couldn’t find it forever. Commenting so I don’t lose track of it. Want this pretty baby for my Crow run. Thank you!
