Yeah, the whole sexuality thing is done pretty well this time around, to be honest. It's not flaunted in the player's face. You won't even know about it until you start asking these kinds of questions. There's also a possibility to hit on someone of a different orientation and get rejected - they aren't all made bisexual just so "everyone has equal chances" and the flirty dialogue options aren't limited to NPCs romanceable to you either.
As for the story... I guess I agree with Mister_S and dsergei, more or less. It's not bad, it's not exceedingly good either. It's just... It's kinda like a remake of DA:O storyline, to be honest. Swap darkspawn for a giant, green hole in the sky, Grey Wardens for Inqusition, and Loghain's betrayal for Templars vs. Mages civil war... and that's about it. Personally I like it better, because some themes feel a lot more mature and fleshed out, characters evolve more believably and the whole game is more about building a stabilizing force, than saving the world with a team of brave heroes.
I like the fact that places you visit are actually somewhat affected by what you do and that sometimes the answer lies in using the Inquisition and not your team. You found a chasm that looks impossible to cross? Give an order to build a bridge over it. You're tired of meeting bandinds on the highways? Raise some watchtowers. You keep encountering templars and mages fighting it out? Erase the heart of the presence of both groups and you won't see them anymore. You really do get the feeling there's a force working to fix all the shit that's happening - and that you're at its helm. This is kinda what I was expecting of DA:O in 2009, but it turned out to be the typical, overused "gather heroes, kill the dragon, save the world" theme with a very shallow political plot strapped on on top. So I'm kinda happy with what Inquisition is doing in this regard.
Because of the open-world structure and an absurdly huge scale of the game, though, the storyline can indeed seem a bit disjointed at times.

Has anyone managed to kill a dragon yet? At level 15 I tried killing the one in Hinterlands and only got it down to like 95% health before getting wiped out.

A lot of it. The creation of the rifts (and your ability to close them) is the whole central premise of the story, and closing them is a major part of the gameplay. You'll be forced to close them in the open world maps to get everywhere, and pretty much all the main quest missions feature closing at least one.

Hah yeah, at mid-levels (9-12), those fucking things are a pain in the ass. They come looking for you, and chase you halfway across the map too. They spawn in ridiculous numbers in the north-west end of the Hinterland. I think the first time I went up there I had like 5 chasing me at once.

Yeah, that one (Fereldan Frostback) is the only one I have done so far. I think I was level 14 maybe? Solas died at least twice during the fight. One time he was res'd by a lifeward amulet, the other he got back up during a brief lull when the dragon flew off. Make sure you have the best gear you can craft. Loot is pretty shit, so you have to craft to get the best gear. You may want to craft some specific dragon hunting gear. Killing the dragonlings should yield you leather with fire resistance. I think they also drop blood for crafting the 1st tier dragon-slaying runes. My party was 2H warrior Inquisitor, 1H/Shield Cassandra, ranged Varric, Spirit/Frost Solas.

Alright I'll try that. I just looked at a video guide on how to kill it as well. Looks like the trick is to use frost magic and concentrate everyone on attacking its legs.

Damn.. I don't have many frost magic spells atm
I'm a fire\lightning mage and Solas is our healer. Well, he does know one frost spell  but it's hardly enough to deal with dragons lol

Yeah I know about respec however I just don't feel like respeccing.
PS Is Blizzards damage any good or it's mostly a CC spell?
I was kinda disappointed with last tier fire spells.

You'll want either Cassandra or Blackwall to tank it, while everyone else hammers it. Your mage should have Barrier and Winter's Grasp, and an ice damage staff. You don't want any fire damage. Keep up Guard on your warrior/s and keep your mage/ranged DPS out of the way. Have the mage pop Barrier on the tank as necessary. Watch out for the dragonlings that will swarm in a couple of times. You'll probably have to micromanage everyone to make sure they don't derp out.

The dragons and well everything else also gains a ton of additional health on the higher difficulty levels, on Nightmare even killing a simple animal can be a huge struggle due to the sheer amount of health that they buff up with or how to say.
(I liked the mod for Origins and DA2 that removed that health buff but I don't think this game will be as moddable.)

Yeah, that's why I didn't bother with Nightmare, just went with Hard. I saw in a few videos how retarded the HP bloat was in Nightmare. Even Hard is stupid. It's not really challenging, just tedious.

In DA2 and in this shit as well, Nightmare is all about outwearing your enemies. CC times and Taunt times and things like those are nothing compared to the HP pools of bloated enemies.
Have good gear? GG you are winning. Don't have good gear? Go farm mats, craft them, then return, then GG you are winning.

Respeccing.........
I walk up to the banner/flag to respec, and it says it costs 1 silver (probably for the 1st time)
Now then, do ALL of my characters respec, or just the one that uses the banner?
Also, is it 1s for EACH person, or just 1s for the first person, then full price for everyone else?

@jackasshole
You buy the amulet of respeccing, so to speak.
So if you want to respec every character you have in your party then you need to get 4 amulets.

Denuvo is pretty impressive ,I remember I was told about " constantly switching encrypted keys" isn't what Denuvo is basically doing with the RAM/SSD or something like this?
I hope it will be cracked a soon as possible,it seems to mess with the hardware and cause troubles.
"Fuck Denuvo"

It's a shame there's no mod toolset, and it seems mods are gonna be a lot harder on this game, cause the default hairstyles are goddamn hideous.

They deny this on their website:
Does Denuvo Anti-Tamper constantly encrypt and decrypt data on storage media?
No, Denuvo Anti-Tamper does not continuously encrypt and decrypt any data on storage media. To do so would be of no benefit in terms of security or performance.

I think it will take a lot of time to be cracked, maybe years.

I've seen reports from users that looked closely. Nothing special happens to the SSD NOTHING. The asshole that posted shit like that had sth. else running maybe spyware from a dirty pornsite and sold it as a Denuvo feces-bomb....Relax and breathe. Everything is fine here except it hasn't been fucking cracked yet which is fine by me now that I've paid them bitches!
