[@annie27261]

Taking Sera and Cole along with you is like having two kids in the back seat of your car. Me and (romanced) Blackwall with two kids in the back seat, Sera complaining that Cole is existing in her proximity and Cole being himself it's beautiful and obnoxious all at once. Also Sera/Blackwall/Viv is just my favorite ultimate smackdown of Vivienne's jerk personality

[@kitalalaris]

lol Gotta agree with you on that one XD Vivienne annoys me like no other character in the game, so I love bringing Sera along when i have Viv ^^

I love how Solas and Bull can play an entire game of chess in their heads. That's pretty impressive. Also "king me" is Checkers Sera /)

[@callianr6980]

TotalNoobasaur Fun fact: the game they play is a game called The Immortal Game, which was played in real life between two big chessmasters during a tournament and is considered one of the greatest chess games of all time.

[@ArcaneTuber]

When Sera says "king me" does it mean something or it's just her usual random nonsense?

[@r.j.w7924]

@@ArcaneTuber just her being an ass. Lol. She mocks their incredible mental chess game by making a checkers move.

[@akman909]

@@ArcaneTuber When you play checkers, when one of your pawns reaches the back row of the other team, you say 'king me' and they will take one of your pawns that they killed and place it on top of yours, if you have pieces that have a crown side you flip it from the star side to the crown side also. When you have a king pawn, they can go forwards and backward, when originally they could only go forward.

I can just imagine Dorian's face going from indignation to stunned shock with a blush creeping its way down his neck through the course of this. By the end, his eyes are all wide and his brain has stopped functioning to a point where his only response is "Uh. What?" Gotta wonder if they indulged in that later, though.

[@KujaStar]

That was a fun half an hour to pass the time. :D I hadn't heard most of these as I normally play Human Warrior or Mage, so having multiple mages in the party isn't an option. I tend to use Vivienne over Solas due to her Knight-Enchanter mass-revive, but I might experiment with party combos a little more to try and unlock some of this dialogue. The chess dialogue was brilliant, I had literally never heard it before which is kind of embarrassing given how much time I've spent on the game.

[@shastapearce7668]

Play the game in the easiest mode possible. Doesn't matter who's in the party, stuffs easy to kill.

[@kitalalaris]

I've found that on most of the difficulty settings most of the time, using a combo of Mage+Mage+Warrior+Rogue works really well. The reason for the two mages is that I can keep barrier up at all times. Although Mage+Mage+Warrior+Warrior works alright too. I like to park Blackwall in a doorway with line in the sand active whenever possible too.
