current dilemma with my dai solo nightmare run:

im taking advantage of the golden nug so, since im still near the start of the game, i have strong enough armour to block pretty much any physical damage. mages (and demons) are still extremely dangerous and can kill me very quickly.

so...do i do in hushed whispers or champions of the just? i feel like in hushed whispers would be unbelievably difficult because of the mages, but if i do champions of the just then i'll be fighting a lot more mages for the rest of the game.

however, i'll be able to get better gear and abilities later, so i'll probably be better able to deal with mages later than i am now. plus, physical enemies will get stronger and my armour won't be as over-leveled so they'll be hurting me too.

im leaning towards doing champions of the just, but im genuinely asking for any thoughts anyone might have here.

#realising that i could just make armour that makes me take NO DAMAGE was very funny #it's the first time ive played on nightmare and im playing solo and im having the easiest early-game ive ever had in dai #bears can do a tiny amount of damage but nobody else can. other than mages who can kill me VERY QUICKLY #dragon age inquisition #dai #da #dragon age #ngl typing this out made me even more in favour of cotj but im still interested in opinions #(im also making this my cullen romance playthrough because im ignoring companions and have already romanced josie)#(so cotj might work better narratively i guess? but it doesnt matter enough to be the basis of my decision)#anyway. current progress is that im level 9 and have enough power to do cotj/ihw but i want to be as high level as i can #ive also only unlocked the hinterlands lmao (and val royeaux but that doesnt really count) and im only..idk half-done with it?#did the whole south-east the other day and today im doing the south-west #and maybe the rest if that doesnt take too long. but everything takes a lot longer #but ive gotta say....im having a LOT of fun. i have to pay a lot more attention to my surroundings and the specific enemies #AND i dont have to juggle party weapons and armour. and not even my own staves and armour because crafting is better #despite always exploring every area as much as possible i feel like im exploring in a completely new way and it's really fun #hopefully i dont run out of steam when fights start getting hard again. rifts are a nightmare rn unless they're just shades #ive died to rage demons but the worst are probably wisps because they have very long range #ooohh maybe im not doing the south-west today. this is a level 12 rift eek. i guess i'll avoid rifts and try to just do the fortress?#same with that rift in the river near the farm. that's level 12 too. despair demons are HORRIBLE to deal with #oh wait turns out im only level 7 (but nearly 8)?? idk why i thought i was level 9. but that changes nothing
