One thing that kinda threw me off in this game was the banters not activating sometimes. It was a huge let down exploring the world with dead quiet companions. Thanks to you, I'll be able to enjoy this game a lot more than I already did.
bit late, but (re-)selecting the companions i'm travelling with in the camp instead of when you're fast-travelling from skyhold seemed to do the job for me as well
@@shadow4040 I agree with you. I enjoy Inquisition and love the companions, however, story-wise it is the weakest in the series so far IMO. Take Dragon Age 2 for example, the way the tension builds throughout the story and the finale when Anders goes jihad on the Chantry is still an "OH SHIT!" moment every single time. There just weren't any moments like that in Inquisition. The final boss in Origins and 2 feels much more epic than the let down encounter with Cory. By the time you finally face him at the end, he hasn't felt like a legitimate threat since Haven. Just my two cents. Oh yea, and I agree with chaz, the hair in Inquisition is absolutely, unforgivably fugly.
@@lonelyqueen86 Dragon Age Inquisition is just so fucking _boring_ to me. Like... I don't want to spend a hundred hours wandering around aimlessly unlocking shit and gathering materials just so I'm on par with the enemies I'm up against. I wanna play a high fantasy RPG adventure! Not fucking Minecraft.
The banter one sounds like a must - there are some companion dialogue options that only activate if you've heard the relevant banter (the Iron Bull/Dorian relationship is the first one to spring to mind. Until they talk about having gotten together, you can't ask them about it)
Absolutely!! Two years ago my companions where Iron bull, Dorian and Sera. And I got to hear so much of there relationship and Sera didn't want to hear that lmao. Now I'm playing again and my companions are Blackwall, Vivienne and Sera or Dorian. I never knew that Blackwall was in a flirt with Josephine bc I mostly do the romance with Cullen. So that was surprising 🙏🏻
War Table missions' best adviser isn't based on lowest time. Going by that will cause certain ones to be bad. You always pick the most appropriate by mission description.
@@farisanwari777 To be fair, your not loosing that mutch stuff. The rewards are okay in the first half, but some point after unlocking Skyhold..they fall flat. That nice 60DPS Captain-Sword is cool....if my tank wouldnt allready have a 180dps one...for lower level....
My boy Solas! He was like my Inquisitors best friend. I loved talking to him & stuff. His "betrayal" cut me deep. I told him at the end of Trespasser that I was gonna save him from himself. & he said some shit like "I know my friend..." Or something. I got misty eyed like a mfcka.
Just wanna say - ty so much for these mod videos. I’ve been playing Inquisition for years, but just got the game on PC so I’m just now dipping my toe into the modding world. Your mod tutorial was a life saver, made it so easy, and I know this was a year ago but I’m so grateful for these more recent mod videos. I had no idea which mods to even entertain getting, so I these videos are great. DAI is a major special interest and hyperfixation for me, so it’s so cool to see the community still alive even if not quite as much as when it was a shiny new release
Mod Timestamps: 1:23 - War Table. No Waiting 2:10 - More Inquisition Levels 2:45 - unlock and change specs 4:18 - More Banter 5:12 - Armor no class restriction remade 6:10 - enhanced inquisitor sliders 7:00 - Inquisition Vallaslin change
@@squeezie_b8895 oh most likely not as playing the protagonist but maybe they’ll show up for a cameo. It’d make sense for how tied in with the story they are. Hawke did.
I know NOTHING of modding. But when my older sister told me you need to replace original content for the mods my mind was blown away. Props for the cc makers for working with such hard and anti modding game! Also thank you for the video! In 2019 most people would forget about this masterpiece of a game uwu
Well i don't know why this was on my recommended, but i had no idea Dragon Age Inquisition had mods, so thanks for the video, gotta add to the "games to re-play " list.
Thanks to you for the war table "how to install" video, I was able to get that one again into my game. Now bc I've watched your video I get to seen this one, and I love it!! You had me with the "inquisition levels" ❤️🙏🏻 I need this so bad. Also the "Unlock and change" might be great for testing. And definitely the "more banter". The "armor" one I'll look for it as well. Thanks for making these mods more interesting ❤️
There was one detail I loved about Inquisition, and always thought was awesome: wooden walls that give the warrior kick prompt can be broken with rogue/mage abilities like stonefist or explosive shot. It's really neat
Evert van Dalen Indeed, it’d be cool if you could change your appearance/sliders anywhere instead of going to the Black Emporium all the time. Also, some of us have to desctivate our mods when going there or else the loading screen will crash, aghhh!!
Evert van Dalen OMG LMAO facts. But you know what’s the really worst? Not being able to go to the Black Emporium or Skyhold during Trespasser... I swear, what the actual fuck??? I literally had to replay half of the DLC so I could give my Lavellan the cool af hairstyle and custom armor I wanted.
I'd been meaning to do another playthrough one of these days, so it was a nice surprise to run into this video on the closing days of 2019. I'm definitely grabbing the banter booster for that.
I love DA:I so much like when I had it I played it everyday for about 6+ hours and I literally never got tired of doing the same quests for like 20 playthroughs lol
Sky Dome same I love Skyrim too but I would say that imo it’s better like because Of the choices you can make like DA: I has a lot more freedom in what you can do, and the combat is wayy better and more exciting. There's a lot of quests to do and the dragon fights are more Intense. Obviously better graphics and character creation which is kinda important to me in an rpg, like I don’t wanna be ugly or not look good lol. Playable characters and they’re really likable, my favorite are iron bull, Vivienne, and Sera. Just having a team of your closest allies with different abilities to cover your weaknesses and help you in battle feels better than a derpy Skyrim follower that gets one shot by some shit lol. And tons of replayability if that’s even a word
Just restarted my Dragon Age inquisition game. I put hundreds of hours in it when I first bought it and after building a new powerhouse PC I've decided to start a new playthrough on ultra settings. Also decided to mod my games as well and found your page. Appreciate your top 7 and I look forward to more videos from you!
I like to give my Dalish characters a darker flesh-colored Vallaslin so it looks like scarification. Definitely adds an interesting vibe! Thanks for making these vids.
Can I just extend a big thanks to you for breaking up the video into segments? Being able to scrub the player and immediately see what mods you'll mention and roughly how long your explanation goes for is a GIFT
I dont know how this got into my recommendations but DAMN im glad Dai is still on my pc gona make another one probably aaaaaaaaaaand also nice Khora At the end.
I randomly stumbled onto this video and now I just spent 3 hours browsing through YEARS of Nexus mods I've missed since my playthrough. Saving stuff that got updated or new stuff to use for my future playthrough. Thank you so much
Nice to see DAI still alive and well. Great vid. Only mods I have used are banter, some cosmetic and the bash/lock pick. Not into the last one but it does allow for some banter I had not heard before when taking three rogues, mages or warriors. A new twist to the game for those with multiple play throughs.
i spoke to the owner of nexusmods 5 months or more and had asked him if he was going to make vortex work with inquisition he said in time Edit I don't want to give anyone hope but he also said they had other plans that took priority
@@johnnyboogalo4897 I prefer vortex. The creator of mo2 also made vortex Edit: can't find article where he said it was better so I'm removing that part
I'm just starting DAI for the first time. Enjoyed your video. You have the voice of a professional DJ or on air personality; I was waiting for you to introduce one of my favorite songs. Comforting yet knowledgeable and authoritative.
**cries in Playstation 4** As an aside, I literally just began replaying this game today. I was as thoroughly underwhelmed by the character creation as I was the first go round until I got to the third cutscene and was like “hey my dude looks EXACTLY like Chris Pine”. So now I’m uncomfortably attracted to my sarcastic, Chris Pine lookalike Inquisitor.
God, i've played more than 300 hrs and i still want to go back everytime, DA always feels like home. Love to mod the hell out of this game but i never tried the unlock and change spec, thank you so much!! also what hair and outfit mod is that, your inquisitor is gorgeous!
Thanks! I had thought about playing this game again, but seeing your video which was randomly recommended to me, has made it certain: after work, I am downloading this game and playing it again. Can't wait!
@@ItsJustTeddington Yeah, it is fun. Much more realistic I think, than just have the material materialize in your pocket just by looking at it, don't you think?
Just had a hankering for this game, once more, and stumbled across your videos! Thank you so damn much for the help on modding! It's dwarf reaver time!
Awesome list, and really cool that you put up this video for a 5 year old game. Your video came up in my recommendation just now, and having enjoyed my modded DAI play through, thought to check it out. I tried to play it when it first came out, and found the controls to be terrible, especially in combat, and so I gave up after a few hours. Finally came back to this game few months ago, found some really great mods, and spend about 250 hrs making it one of my favorite RPG's ever. To anyone interested in my mod list, these are the ones that I had used (all from nexusmods): Intuitive Controls Mod - Makes the game more fluid, and combat is more akin to previous DA games More Banter Search Radius Increased Conversation Camera Zoom War Table - No Waiting Quicker Looting Open All Halla Doors Configurable Increased Inventory Capacity 2019 update No Perk Requirements More Inquisition Levels No Dirt Buildup on Pants Reduced Fall Damage GothicFont DAITools Suite Loader - crucial software to load all the mods
The No Waiting mod breaks one of the DLCs, or it did the last time I used it. It would prevent me from being able to go down into the deep roads in the Decent dlc.
You're my first youtuber than helped me know how to mod cause haven't played pc in 20 years. Cause the other videos and info was confusing. You may it so simplistic and enjoyable. Definitely subbed and will purchase your merch.
Wait, you went through a concise useful description of each mod without bloating this video into 40 minutes? This is an incredible find, and sent me searching through your other videos!
I've just come back to this game after not playing it since September 2015 because I went to Uni at the time then completely forgot about it for over 4 years. So surprised to see current content for it haha.
I think my most needed mod is the No Fall Damage mod, because I'm constantly jumping off shit. These all look great, though- I'll have to install some! Especially the specialization one!
I've just gotten back to this game, so many playthroughs, just reached trespasser with my character who ends up being the same dude with different hair all the time.
The mod for the op character from the start is great. I use it for my qunari mage. Since he’s been with a mercenary company for years, he’s obviously going to know more than 2 spells from the start
Glad this popped up as I just started a new playthrough last week after years. Amazing how good this game still looks on Ultra at 1440p, but I can't believe how few hair options there are even compared to the older games.
!!! banter mod! coming from Dragon's Dogma and FFXV i'm used to having very loud party members and DAI was infuriating, sometimes I'd go afk and leave the game in the background just to maybe catch them speak, why they gotta be so shy...I had to learn most things about them from obscure reddits and friends' screenshots and freaking urban legends....this mod IS a game changer, and so happy to see this activity so many years later
Another MUST-HAVE mod is the Enhanced Camera mod, which'll greatly increase camera zoom and change the default angle from centered to over-the-shoulder. It's meant to simulate the closeness and camera angle of games like Skyrim and Mass Effect.
Ok you've done it now Missy! You got me back into this game after 4 years or maybe 5 but let's stick with 4.. I like the mods you suggested here and they are pretty useful except for the war table one. There are a few others too that I enjoy such as the Skyhold PJ's replacer, I feel that the developers could have let us have more than what they gave us. It'll probably take me an hour or more to decide which class to play or how my character will look but one thing is certain.. I'm definitely looking forward to play this game once again! Thanks!
Ah, i love this game. 5 years later and still a masterpiece. Well, to some extent. 5 years later and the mage-templar civil war is still too short, but oh well. This list does make me think "oh damn, i had a playthrough i started last year and got 1 DLC left to go before starting a new playthrough". Nice video!
I went into this thinking, OK I'll go in and pick out a few mods that I'll need, but no, all 7 of these are wonderful, useful, and not game breaking, 10/10 video
Thank you for the remind, replaying as we speak with your suggested mods. Never played with mods before and the shortcuts are easy to implement and usefull.
@@shadow4040 I would love to but I'm as bout as tech savvy as a door knob. I have a friend who can help me, but again even cheap isn't cheap enough, you know? Oh well, someday!
@@Global00Vintage To be frank, Dragon Age does not require that much horsepower to run in 1080p For CPU, you can make do with a budget option like the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G or an Intel Core i5 9400 - Both of these can be found for around $150 For the graphics side, getting the AMD Radeon RX 570 is perfect for running this in 1080p. It's by far the best bang for buck option (if you can find one), otherwise I may suggest getting the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 Super. The Radeon can go for as little as $100, while the 1650 Super will set you back $180 Motherboard options can be had for cheap too. As for the AMD platform, getting a good B450 board is more than good enough. and for Intel I suggest getting a H310 or a B360 option with that CPU. These motherboards can be found for around $75 to $120. Power-wise, you don't need a monster supply to run a lightweight system like this. So, settle for a 450-550w power supply. These can be found from $50 to $80 Storage-wise, I'd recommend getting a solid state drive (SSD), as the prices has come down significantly. 1 TB is good enough to start out with. This can be found for around $100-140 Case-wise, a standard medium-tower style case is more than sufficient. and these can be had from around $40 and up And lastly, you'd need peripherals and a monitor. These are completely up to your personal preference. Also, I may suggest getting a controller, or if you already own an Xbox or a Playstation, getting an adapter for the controllers is easy enough. You can get away with a complete PC for around $800-1000. And that should be well within distance for most people. And if you really want to save a buck. Get used parts, or a complete machine
more banter saved my whole play through. I got a bug early on where my companions completely stopped talking while out and about. This mod is only thing that fixed it.
A mod that would help a lot would be an action that when you press a key companions would gather nearby resources. Or at least, on the tatical camera mod, when you make the companion interact with an item, they do it without having to be with this character highlighted. Looting is timing consuminng as heck
I have...a bunch of mods for this game. It's an even split between making the game less of a hassle (zero time War Tables, get all schematics incl. DLC ones and Tier 4 materials for cheap at Val Royeaux, inventory space increased to 5,000) and making my Inquisitor look pretty (hair mods, eye color mods, makeup and skin tone mods).
I think it would be a good idea to update Inquisition, and maybe Origins and DA2, with another mod video. It's been over a year, and those types of videos really hit the algorithm hard. On top of that, you are pretty much the matriarch of the Dragon Age mod community on RU-vid.
Finally tried this game after having it sit in my library for years. This mod list was super great, especially the war table one! Side note: where is your accent from? It switches from North American to Aussie(?) every few words or so, and it’s very confusing :P
I have no idea why I got this in my recommended, but hey, I'm not complaining. I have to admit I completely forgot that I wanted to play this game but now you got me to install it again + these mods. Just finished Dragon Age Origins + DLC a short while back. Gonna skip DA: II because I've already finished it like a dozen times and it's not worth it now that you got me hooked on playing DA Inquisition again.
I always come back to your videos to refresh my memory for modding on ME:A & DA:I. Thank you for making it so ez. Btw looks like the More Banter mod is defunct now. Is there another mod like that available ?
Girl,u must be a journalist or some kind of commentator or work on tv or SLT!You have so cute voice and perfect diction.I just love to hear you. Oh...what im talking about... Oh yeah,thank u for video,useful.GL!
Awaiting my DA:I download and stumbled upon your spectacular and super helpful mods tutorial playlists! Love your channel. And random but your narration style and cheerful voice are really engaging. Kind of reminds me of MsMojo! (T^T)7
I'm glad I stumbled across this! I spent the entirety of high school modding RPGs like New Vegas, but didn't realize Dragon Age had a healthy modding scene. Thanks for covering this so many years after the game's release
