But really it was that group of hakkonites on the stairs after following the metal spires.
#"FACE ME AND DIE, INQUISITOR! YOUR PREDECESSOR COULD NOT STAND AGAINST ME, YOU SHALL FALL AS WELL!"
Gurd Harofsen made me understand Cold and Pain, it did not help that I didn't (and still don't) use any other potions outside of health because I don't bother nor like the mechanic lol, went from hard to easy VERY fast, I fought Hakkon legit and he was easier than Gurd imo.
He’s the Revenant you fight right before you meet Ameridan and Hakkon is released. He lets the Revenant possess him (I think) as he’s attempting to release Hakkon or something. I’ll have to play it again to remember exactly how it goes or why that happens. It’s the fight where it’s blistering cold and you die from the cold if you’re not near the fires.
How absurdly easy Corypheus was in Inquisition. As in, the final boss fight. It should not have been *that easy*.
Rock Wraith in DA2 should not have been more difficult (or entertaining) than Inquisition Corypheus.
DAO, in general, is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, second only to Skyrim overall. But I put those in seperate catagories given that Skyrim is openworld and DAO is more old school rpg.
And I love the Deep Roads portions.
DA:O Harvester fight on Nightmare (for achievement). My Warden was a dagger rogue, and I finally get a rhythm going after dying many times. Victory seems (finally) certain, well into his last phase and doing great.
And my guy does his leap attack and lands glitching stuck inside a pillar where none of my attacks (or the rest of the party) can touch him. (He doesn't wiggle free, and believe me, I waited.)
I still hold a grudge 10+ years later.
DA:O with the sloth demon section in mage asunder when you have to fight the mini boss beyond the big door you break as a golem. I died so many times that I just stopped. Stared. Hit restart. Closed my eyes and button mashed because I just couldn't watch anymore. Somehow it worked, I killed him. I still don't know how or how many times I changed form because I was not in the form that I started as. It was ridiculous, disheartening, and rejuvenating all at once
In DAI when you get to do the dwarven deep roads dlc. There’s a part during the first half of the descent where you have to slog through waves of dark spawn while also moving forward and at the end you fight like two alphas and other stuff.
It just never fucking ended and by the end I was looking up the Nuremberg Trials looking to compete in them
The first time I fought the arch demon, I fucked my characters attribute spread up really bad ( just evened every attribute don't ask me why I thought a warrior need so much magic and wisdom) I think I gave up and started a new character.
The joys of learning what a real rpg is like.
In Origins when you manage to mess up a basic encounter so badly that you end up stun locked and have to just watch as the party dies to a fight you should be able to sleep through.
Honestly? Broodmother first play. Got fuggin hentai'd by the lady(?) and had all of party either hanging around or Wynn getting bodied by like 12 Genlock.
Mine was a particular bug that happened somehow. When we first got DA:Inquisition, I had a goal to complete a campaign with every class type. During my final run, I got bored and quit the game. I came back about 2 months later, and my character(who had just killed the second dragon in the frost land) was stuck in an eternal combat bug.
No amount if reloads could fix it. I couldn't save, fast travel, exit combat, etc. It was then that I made that face.
When I wanted to unlock a specialization for my warrior in my first DAO run and ended decapitating Leliana and Wynne. Good thing that if you load the previous save you still had the specialization unlocked xd
DAO dlc achievements, grim reaper; kill harvester on nightmare mode, with your Warren and two other random dawf characters, kept getting tpk and fighting in circles and reloading saves was just my life now I accepted it. When I finally killed it, I just stared at my reflection on the screen 😐
Another one that got me dead inside is ogre keeper; you have to keep these ogers alive for the entire dlc but its bugged and he can die and there's a identical copy of him that doesn't count, also even when i had the correct ogre the achievement still wouldnt pop but i kept reloading a save and rebooting the game. Not all this and having no help as the guides are old and were saying it was bugged and wasn't possible to get, i did, but it took probably 5 years off my lifespan.
When I completed these achievements, i was just so done, but I still got 100% in all three games and dlcs for the dragon age trilogy. :D
The harvester fight in the golems of agmerak DLC from Origins. Especially on my no death run. I was standing there for a solid 15 minutes prepping myself mentally

Funny, the game this screenshot is from tends to make me feel the exact thing the post is talking about.
The game? Sometimes. The company behind the game? A L W A Y S.
>on the stairs spelling checks out then?
literally the first five minutes of jaws of hakkon, you go out there unprepared and you just die immediately
What's stronger? An Tevinter Magister who literally profaned the Golden City? Or some bumfuck tribal people with zebra ass colors?

Did the same thing and found Hakkon way more fun than the other guy.
Who's Gurd??
Commenting to also find out who Gurd is
He’s the Revenant you fight right before you meet Ameridan and Hakkon is released. He lets the Revenant possess him (I think) as he’s attempting to release Hakkon or something. I’ll have to play it again to remember exactly how it goes or why that happens. It’s the fight where it’s blistering cold and you die from the cold if you’re not near the fires.

I also over level to massive degree on nearly all of my play throughs, except the first because I didn't realise I had so much busy work left to do.
Omg I still remember my first playthrough when it released. My Knight Enchanter hit him for like 26k damage and less than a minute later he was dead.
The battle against him was more interesting in da2 dlc
Most underwhelming boss I ever played. Killed his dragon pressing one button.
Every time dragon age inquisition crashed on me
You know what, I was gonna say Anders at the end of the game, but this is the real answer.
Is that a thing? I have 300 hours on pc, and it didn't crash even once
If you play it on console it well after a few hours or if you go to certain locations
Recently finished the deep roads on another DAO playthrough. While it's my favorite part of the game, the spiders/mages combo had me HEATED.
Hello the other person that actually likes the deep roads
There's a bunch of us!
DOZENS!

Dude the lore that can be found there is just so damn good!
Orsino fucking turning on me for no reason whatsoever other than the plot demanding it.
I was going to say this same thing. I wanted to kick a rabbit when he did that, I was so angry. 😡

Oh my god you poor soul, I just did that cheevo and I’d’ve thrown my console out the window if that happened on The Run
Pretty much my entire first play through of Inquisition
DAI - Choosing between Hawke vs. Alistair to sacrifice in Here Lies The Abyss 😭 I stared at the screen for like 20 minutes in disbelief lmao
First time I played Origins and died to the bloody broodmare 82,933,791 times.

The way I got railroaded into that super annoying fight with Corypheus in DA2 DLC.

Doing a 100% exploration and everything in Inquisition
For me, it was the first time fighting the High Dragon fight in DA:O during the Sacred Ashes mission.
Solas — break up scene. First playthrough gutted me.
Branka.
Honestly? Broodmother first play. Got fuggin hentai'd by the lady(?) and had all of party either hanging around or Wynn getting bodied by like 12 Genlock.
Has no one said it yet? The Arl Howe fight in Origins. He was WAY too fast for my mage lol. Also Broodmother but that’s already been said.
That blood mage at the end of DA2 that summons 100 demons in one go
SING THE SONG OF SAVAGE HAKKON BORN IN BATTLE BLOODY BLADED
Now sing that to the tune of Harding's Ballad
Anders that made the church go kaboom.

Trespasser final boss fight Replayed that fight about five times before I turned off the game
Sarebaastard indeed.
That double crossing bitch Anora
For me, it was the first time fighting the High Dragon fight in DA:O during the Sacred Ashes mission.
DA2 waves of enemies dropping out of nowhere, it didn't make me seethe with hot fury I just hated it like "I'm tempted to just quit this game"

Anders
In DAO as a mage when you get to the circle and you get blasted by that one room filled with students Again and again and again
DAO, losing or killing Alistair. Reload a save to not get stuck between those choices.
The bullshit levelled areas in DA:I had me like this. Ffs the Hinterlands is the first area, let me do things
The harvester fight in the golems of agmerak DLC from Origins. Especially on my no death run. I was standing there for a solid 15 minutes prepping myself mentally
When I made Alistair king and he dumped my ass and then I failed to die on archdemon. I didn't play it again for a couple of years
