Right thanks for clarifying that for me, as i only have 1 hand i can properly use the other two games were perfect as everything was mouse controlled but if this one is wasd movement then i will give it a miss for now.
Apologies if this is out of place, or something you've looked at before, but I saw this UK charity for disabled gamers mentioned somewhere recently (maybe even here at DS):

Ok today I just entered the hissing waters. What a b1tch of an area. It takes forever to get around it. FOREVER. I found a dragon here and seen as I'm on a good roll with killing dragons I thought I'd tackle him. I've killed 4 dragons so far. I killed the one at the emerald graves today and it was relatively easy but the hissing waters one was a jump in difficulty. He didn't kill me or any of my teammates but I was down to one potion left and the dragons health wasn't even half way down so I just retreated. I'm at level 19 so maybe by the time I have this area completed I might be able to take him down. There's some really good loot in this area.
I was hoping to have this finished by next Friday but that's not going to happen. I have this area and Emprise du Lion left and then I've to go back on all the areas to tidy up, and I've to finish the main story, no idea how much left I have.
Uugghh. I love the game but I can't wait for it to be over.
Just killed the Hissing Wastes dragon, my sixth. Down to no potions and also used up all my proximity heals. Just made it then almost exited without saving. The game warned me but I got a shiver down my spine. I would have only hoped that the autosave had saved at the right moment.
Currently still only 12.99 at Argos for the GOTY edition.
I played it before Witcher 3, it's a good game but I preferred Witcher.
Same here. I played DA:I first but The Witcher has better characters, a better story and a better world. That's not to say DA:I is bad. It's great, but The Witcher is just better in every way.
Buying this game next Friday hopefully. The reviews have been good.
My only fear is that I'm coming off The Witcher 3 and comparing and contrasting will be inevitable...
I had the same problem when I went from skyrim to the witcher 2 on the 360. Witcher 2 got boxed for a year and a half. It wasn't skyrim. When I went back to the witcher 2 I actually enjoyed it.
I have been playing through the jaws of hakkon. It is tough from the start, and I am only playing it on normal. I have made it to the boss fight with Gurd. I am going to need some proper tactics here. Think I will have to go back to the start of the level and use the potion table. Any help on gurd, I might have to drop the difficulty to easy

DA:I is Hollywood surface to Witcher's gritty, deep, indie film. Witcher is a far richer experience, IMHO, and far less linear and much more open than DA:I. DA:I is good but very different from how Witcher plays out. I pretty much stopped playing DA:I when Witcher came out and have yet to go back to it.

Do your actions have positive and negative consequences like Witcher 3?
I felt that despite the massive world of the Witcher, the quests and side quests only serve to drive the plot further forward without leaving you in an open world unsure of what to do.
In Dragon Age I feel the opposite is true, despite the world being broken up into several smaller parts. I felt the side quests were only there to fill a requirement rather than build upon the world or its characters. If I could just skim through the story I would, whereas the Witcher I want to take part in everything that it offers.
I'm convinced the people who make Dragon Age are still unsure of what they want it to be, but it's still an enjoyable game.
I liked that I could pick my race, and people reacted to it throughout the game.
I liked that I could walk into a bar and hear a bard sing a folky song about my adventures. The music was good actually, it really builds the atmosphere.
I thought the story was only average overall, but certain elements of it at certain points, were executed perfectly, and were quite special moments when playing through that first time.
I thought the war table was a nice addition. Makes you feel important.
I liked how open the game was, but it never felt too overwhelming. Not many rpg’s get that balance right.
It’s cool being able to have a romance option, and special quests and cutscenes related to that, depending on who you pick.
I think BioWare are great at character driven stories and making strange worlds seem alive and buzzing with activity. The world and its different races never felt trite, and there were some brilliant characters.
Late on, I did feel the game start to lag a little after a generally excellent opening/ middle section, and the combat could start to approach farcical levels when you become more powered up (Skyrim also had this issue for me), but overall, I'd say this is definitely worth playing. I'd probably give it an 8/10.
I am a mage human but the former I find highly suspicious and I'd like to think that if I get the Templar onside they can see reason and join with the mages. Then again my brain tells me that if I join forces with the mages getting the approval of Templars won't even be needed because the mages will obliterate them. The mages are clearly the stronger side.

I would say just go with who you feel is the better side for your character.
There's so much to do right off the bat that I find myself clicking random things mainly because I find the menu layouts to be rather confusing. Like the magika assignment - I don't understand how the skill points work. You click an ability but then it doesn't allow you to map it to your weapon wheel... I still don't understand how crafting works because the menu layout is so poor.

Oh thank you very much i have not seen this website before so i will give it a look!
Edit: I have actually just donated £25 to them as i think the work they do helps disabled people get into gaming a lot easier.

I find a guard or barrier spell and hacking away at their legs helps. Or the Spirit Blade as Knight Enchanter does a lot of damage.
Jaws of Hakkon.
My two final acts were to defeat the final dragon - The Highland Ravager - and Corypheus. The dragon was harder.
Another good DA game to go with the other two. Just a shame we have to for the DLC on the PS4. Another game please.

Trespasser - the final DLC - will be coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on 8 September.
It's a story DLC epilogue, set two years after the main game.
Looks very interesting from the trailer - much more than the other DLC

Without spoilers, can I ask why you preferred Witcher?
I got bored of The Witcher 3.

It's pretty much like Yuffie said:
DA:I is Hollywood surface to Witcher's gritty, deep, indie film. Witcher is a far richer experience, IMHO, and far less linear and much more open than DA:I. DA:I is good but very different from how Witcher plays out. I pretty much stopped playing DA:I when Witcher came out and have yet to go back to it.

Yes. The actions you take determine what happens as the story progresses. It's a more streamlined story but very enjoyable
I plan to replay the game with DLC this year.

IIRC, many people preferred the Mage quest branch to the Templar one when the game first came out.
