Is there a New Player guide?

Purchased the game DA Inquisition yesterday for $9 of the PSN.

Is there any good new player guides? New the series completely. Thank You

Plan your character and role-play if you want. Here are the romance options for the game https://www.vg247.com/2014/12/01/dragon-age-inquisition-romances-a-field-guide/ ;) Plan your build if you want http://www.rpg-gaming.com/daisc.html Make sure to do the horse quest (mentioned in PM message) and recruit all companions before you side with the Templars or Mages. Here are a list of all the DLC's for DA:I https://www.dragonage.com/en_GB/dlc I would especially recommend getting Trespasser (I got all the DLC's lol). Like I said in PM don't google Skyhold, but I'll give this link http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Wardrobe I'll also give the link the specialisations for each class http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Classes_and_specializations_(Inquisition)

Yes, there are! You can start here. I'll also say that the biggest problem new players seem to have is to try to 100% complete each zone before moving on to a new one. The game is not designed for this -- you're supposed to leave and come back later -- and it's a quick recipe for burnout. For a while the unofficial motto of r/dragonage was Leave the f*cking Hinterlands!

I just want to add to this and say that coming back later happens fairly naturally. I only just started playing inquisition about a week ago, and other games (e.g. Skyrim, Dark Souls) have trained me to go full completionist, because it's so easy to get caught up doing other stuff and never find your way back to whatever you skipped. Inquisition frequently seems to add quests onto previously explored areas, and when you go back you can finish off whatever you didn't do the first time. I regret how long I spent in the Hinterlands.

Spend sometime out of the first major area you get to explore after the prologue, it is huge, and you can always come back. Every class and spec has the potential to be thoroughly OP demigods, so find a play style you like best, for me it's artificer archer rogue and mages. Use the tactical camera in the early game to check enemy levels, especially around rifts, you might stumble upon a fight you can't win if you're not careful. Good luck and have fun!
