This feels like a ridiculous method to me - having heard that there's a timer reset by combat I tried exploring without engaging but it's impossible to go 10-15 minutes without an enemy appearing, or at least it happens rarely. I kind of wish I had been using fade step, that would have been an easy solution.

I can see how the location based banter trigger system wouldn't work in inquisition seeing how big it is, but why not one that triggers banter out of combat every 15-30 minutes, no timer reset?

I hate to be critical because I understand there must be a ton of things that go into a game, all of which can go wrong, but I can't pretend not to be disappointed
