    I thought hope was corrupted into despair.

    could be right on sloth though, choice is just weird because it can branch

    Oh right, i forgot about hope.

    Choice is a very strange choice, it's not a emotion as the rest but rather a cognitive function. It may be that he's just pretending to be a choice spirit when there really is no such thing. As far as i know.

    I figured he was just lying and there is no such thing as a choice spirit.

    hmm, from the wiki it looks more like "purpose" would go to sloth.

    Spirit of Command - Envy?
    Spirit of Compassion - Rage?
    Spirit of Faith - Hunger would be the last available, but doesn't seem to fit well
    Spirit of Hope - Despair
    Spirit of Justice - Vengeance
    Spirit of Love - Desire
    Spirit of Purpose - Sloth?
    Spirit of Valor - Fear?
    Spirit of Wisdom - Pride


    And further into it has Ishmael as a forbidden one, which it states as " a group of four unique and very powerful ancient demons. It is said that they are older than the darkspawn and the Tevinter Imperium. Some scholars think that they were the ones who taught the Magisters blood magic." so he might just not have a typical classification.

    I would suspect
    Spirit of Command - Hunger
    Spirit of Compassion - Envy
    Spirit of Faith - Fear
    Spirit of Valor - Rage

    I find it amusing that fear and despair are seperated when despair is just a stronger form of fear.

    That's what i figured as well since he really tried hard to escape and then went down like a bitch so he may have been weak.

    I thought he was just easy because I was overleveled. I spent too long in Hinterlands and pretty much cake walked everything after except dragon fights. Actually wish I had the option to turn off xp a few times.

    Was scaling content really that big of a complaint before?

    Yours make a lot more sense, heh.

    I think it's because one is a despair of self and one is a fear of [insert]. so one's more spiritual, if that's such a thing for spirits

    Corruption is a very logical thing. It's simply improvement at a price. Like fire. Or performance enhancing drugs.

    How is the combat in this one? I'm worried to buy it because I heard the combat is very lackluster.

    Their current suffering was just payback for the centuries of oppressing the other races.

    So no, the dunmer aren't innocent at all.
    Not really saying they're innocent, only that they were treated as second class citizens, at least in Skyrim.

    He was, sort of, but he never took the form of the succubi we see in DAO and DA2

    True, but there are subtle differences to fear and despair. One can be fearful and still have hope. You could say that despair is fear without hope. When one is in despair, they've basically given up.

    I thought it was fine. The only real difference between DA2 and DAI is that there is no autoattack. Instead, you hold the mouse button (or attack button whatever it is on a controller) to do your basic attack. Otherwise, it's a basic hotkey combat system.

    The only part I found lackluster was the lack of a tactics screen like DAO and DA2 has.

    Exactly, despair is the stage when fear overwhelms your mind, the next strongest form of fear that disables you. Do fear demons evolve into despair demons?

    Are you serious? Haven't found any secret boss in Skyhold on my post ending character and google doesnt mention Isthatit either.

    I think it's a joke. You get to the end of the game and go "is that it?"

    Is that it? No one have beaten that boss yet, btw.
    All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

    You really should change your name back, you no longer deserve the current one.

    Clunky and made for consoles.

    If you play on PC you will most likely feel it's the worst in the series.

    I agree wholeheartedly on this sentiment. Every game has given me more control and better control of the player character, much like the ME series. It's less Baldur's Gate influenced than DAO was, but the latest iteration does have its own feel, and I enjoy it.

    I also like the idea that I can lean back in my chair with a controller and still benefit from my "glorious PC master race" rig.

    Its not bad. Though it depends on which part you are talking about. No autoattack, only eight skill slots, no alt weapon set, simplified skill trees, no kill moves, barebone tactics, the barrier/guard/healing weirdness, mounts but no mounted combat, and the pace still seems a bit too slow for "actiony." But its not bad per se.
