'I noticed that, when the game loaded a save, it seemed to still be loading things after letting you control your character-some kind of trick to make the loads seem faster I guess,' Issala says. It lets you warp to wherever you want the Hinterlands, Crestwood, multiple story quests and dialogues were rendered completely unnecessary by this trick. (Dragon Age lets you enter combat even if enemies aren't nearby.)Д«y loading that save, it brings up the world map immediately, before the game has a chance to hide areas you shouldn't have access to yet due to the natural narrative progression. If you reach this point while in combat, the transition doesn't trigger in order to prevent easy flight from fights, but you can still quicksave if no enemies are nearby. In Inquisition, each major locale has map transition areas on its fringes, where the world map is brought up so you can travel to other areas. The way it works sounds complex but looks simple in practice. The original Inquisition run relied heavily on clipping and out-of-bounds tricks to skip ahead in the narrative's progression, but what Issala discovered was the ability to warp to any location on the map whenever you wanted, as you can see in the run below.

That game, as it turned out, was Dragon Age: Inquisition.ДЄs Issala was glitch-hunting, they found an odd interaction between world transition points, save files, and combat status.

Inspired by YouTuber Summoning Salt's speedrunning videos, Issala simply decided to pick up the most recent game they played and enjoyed, and started looking for ways to glitch it. As they tell me over Discord, Dragon Age: Inquisition is their first speedrunning game. It's the kind of time difference that denotes not just better play, but an entire shift in approach and philosophy. 80 hours down to two is an impressive feat, but the difference between Camgotay's record and Issala's is staggering. Speedrunning isn't too different from real-life running, in that once you reach the upper echelon of competition, it becomes a game of inches. Pulling an 80-hour game below two hours is an impressive feat, but what Issala was working on would be the start of bringing the world record even further down, to under half an hour.

The third mainline game in the series can feel like an epic. Three months later, they got their answer and joined the Discord.Д«ioWare games are long affairs, and that's most true in the case of Dragon Age: Inquisition. They were working on a run for Inquisition, and were wondering if 'Camgotay,' a moderator who set that world record time, would be able to verify it once complete. By the start of 2019, it seemed like most strategies had been uncovered, and the most recent world record for the Any percent Casual category had been posted in June 2018, coming in at 1:54:35 with the caption, 'Don't want to improve, probably could though.'Дead silence hung over the game until four months ago, when a new runner going by 'Issala' hopped onto the forums asking if anyone was around.

I really recommend you aim for the keening blade though.В It's a great weapon, free to obtain, with a long side quest that spans multiple story arcs to obtain, and one of the tougher boss fights in Origins.Д®dited by DuskWarden, 02 November 2013 - 12:37 AM.The speedrunning scene for Dragon Age: Inquisition had slowed to a grinding, churning halt.

Else, since you're up to Jarvia, you will shortly be able to acquire Topsider's honour through the 'an admirable topsider' sidequest, which is a dragonbone longsword with 3 rune slots, and which is completely free. If money is an issue, you could look into crafting potent lyrium potions, which is a tad time consuming but does yield a net profit.

The Keening Blade is the 2nd best full sized sword, and the Veshialle is the best full size weapon for a high str build excluding starfang. The best one handed full size weapon is starfang, yes. It's actually more if you aren't so good at using your talents correctly. Dual dagger mostly auto attacking warriors actually have nearly the DPS of dual full size talent spammers.
