Think your inventory maxes out at 90 items. First thing I do after every quest is to hand in what I can at the research table, sell the rest of the valuables collected except anything that might be relevant to a quest, and then I try not to have too many excess weapons or armour clogging things up.
Deft hands is very useful, I'd get that as soon as you can, otherwise you'll find yourself going back into every map just to unlock that one door that you couldn't get to before!
Finished off the Exalted Plains map earlier, all but the dragon done. Going to leave those till last I think. Still got 2/3 side quests to do before I move onto the next story mission.
Re the dragon, if you have two warriors at this point then use them, along with your most powerful Mage - particularly if they're Ice-specialised, and then try and keep your Mage at a distance and your warriors in as close as possible. Whenever a couple of your party are down then head to the edge of the map (either to the north west of where you enter the area, or just back the way you came) - once you're far enough out then your fallen comrades will be resurrected with about half health. Just keep repeating until you grind it down.
I have this coming either today or tomorrow but I will need to become fluent in Polish fast or I won't understand any of the dialogue choices. Are there any major story decisions to be made like the last two?
Yes I would say it will be hard to play in another language you don't have at least a passing knowledge of.
Luckily I do at least have a passing knowledge of the language and my copy will come with English audio. The menus and skills and stuff like that I can figure out easily enough, it's just going to be all the dialogue choices that will present an issue. I guess if it's taking people about 100 hours to finish I will probably take thrice as long due to all the translating I will have to do, so the game will at least be worth the money.

I managed Yakuza 4 and 5 and my Japanese is not great. Had to resort to walkthroughs at times.
Not too question the way you play, each to their own, but isn't using a walkthrough for every decision a bit boring. I use walkthroughs if I'm a bit stuck and can't work something out, but not to actually play the game for me.

I wouldn't use it to see what decision to make, but just to see the actual decisions so I know which one to choose. If i'm seeing the option in Polish without knowing it is a big choice I would just blindly select, but if I know when a choice comes up I can see what the choices are, rather than their consequences.
It might seem easier to just translate but I would have to translate every piece of written dialogue and the choices that come with it and that would take a long time. But if I know when a story choice appears I can solely translate those parts or look at the choice beforehand so I don't select something I wouldn't like. For instance I see choice A and choice B. Knowing what it says I can then choose choice B, which I believe would be the better choice and what I would choose if it was English. Without knowing there is a choice I could blindly pick choice A when I would have preferred B from my style of play.
That's what I was thinking, of just looking online for every decision that has to be made that will have an impact.
Yep, that's what I did with the yakuzas. That and the dialogue that was too complex to fully comprehend or spoken too fast!
Glad your game has English text.
Just unlocked the additional couple of missions in the exalted plains so off to get me a heart of a Snow White tonight!
Think by the time I wrap this one up I'll have clocked up about the same amount of time as it took me to complete the whole Mass Effect trilogy!
That being said, while it may have three game's worth of gaming content, it has one game's worth of plot and story content so perhaps that might make some thing that it's a bit of a grind. Personally, love the game though.
Yep, I'd say there are only about 5 plot missions so if one was to skip all the side ones, you'd probably have the game finished in 10 hours.
Of course, they have the game perfectly pitched with needling to be at a certain level to unlock the main plot missions.
It'll be very interesting to see just how much of what BW have learned from DAI actually informs the next Mass Effect game. Details of the next ME are few on the ground so far but it's been made clear that exploration will play an important role - sounds like it will have a similar epic scope in terms of ground to cover, just hope that the storyline/plot supports it.
DAI has also proven that BW still have a great handle on squad/party banter and good characters. There's a lot of encouraging signs for ME, but it's going to be fascinating to see how they handle the obvious elephant in the room with the new game. I'd imagine that come what may, SOME people are going to be mightily p1ssed off.
Yes (I think) you buy the amulet from either the blacksmith in Haven or the shop in the undercroft, it only sells one thing.
Level 18 now and just got 1 shotted ( I think) by the dragon in Emerald Graves, I was fighting the red templars by the Dragon, got hit by a flame burst and died straight away. Got to head back to Emerald Graves for the final fight against the red templar Lt. Then will hit Western Approaches.
Western Approaches is pretty big, took me a while to clear that.
I took one look at the dragon up in the Emerald Graves and thought better of it for now.
Think to respec your party it's just a case of buying the amulet and equipping it on whoever you want to respec isn't it? In Skyhold, as per above you get it from the Undercroft. The side where you get/equip potions, there's a banner/standard just up from those, that's where you buy it from.
I cant help but think if you combined the world, story and dialogue from DAI with the combat from Divinity: Original Sin you would have the perfect RPG.

I know, I had to save up for deft hands.
Deft hands is very useful, I'd get that as soon as you can, otherwise you'll find yourself going back into every map just to unlock that one door that you couldn't get to before!

Also, Dorian and Iron Bull, erm....ok!
Oh and where can I find the champions to kill for my champion specialisation.

Why are you getting a Polish version?

It's where I live and was the only version available to me without the gift buyer spending more money than needed on international delivery.
