Skill bar expansion?

[Curcă]

Is there any mod or workaround of sorts for the stupid 8 skill slots? I don't want to dumb down my mage build because console players can't press more than a few buttons. It's why i never finished the game back when it released, and i completely forgot this was an issue, i remembered the game more fondly.

There's also an issue with the UI, coming from da2 it's just huge. Coupled with the limited skill slots i feel like I'm playing a mobile game in BlueStacks.

[¯\_(ツ)_/Vopor4an¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

bro same thing,but as far as i know there is no mod that fix that

This is so damn stupid, im playing on a pc with a lot of buttons, why do i have to have my game dumbed down for some console peasants? And why is there no mod for it at least? I hope they dont do this again in dreadwolf.

You are an absolute CLOWN. "Console peasants" AHAHAHA. You said so much about your intellect right there.
8 skills is plenty. Especially as a mage. You dont need any more than that. I dont think you could comprehend all those buttons anyway, so just be grateful they brought it down to your level.

Idk, I prefer to play jack-of-all trades characters in rpgs so I consider 8 skills very restrictive for all classes but especially mages. The game has not one, but TWO a wheel menu, which could've had a button to switch to a secondary skill/ability layout(or even simply access a sub-menu with all learned skills.) Even Fable, which is 20 years old, allows you to swap between 12+ skill/ability layouts on the fly mid-fight.

Edited days later: Game has one wheel menu my bad, haha. Got controls confused with a diff game. Point still stands though.

Agree whole heartedly in Origins having a massive skill bar across the bottom was brilliant with obscure skills or talents that could easily be used. I had over 20 spells skills and talents in origins. Here the specialisations that then start overwriting our current spell slots and have to decide what gets to fit into 8 slots.

At least we still have 8 here, whereas in Andromeda they cut us back even further and reserved half of those keys for multiplayer only. Throwing away half the usable keys for a mode I will never play. Threads like this one should encourage them to change back to better skill slot management. it probably won't ... but it should.

You're having a mad laugh right now. Show me any console (including exclusives) game that has half the level of complexity PC games have in general, especially those released around 10 years ago. Give me a title please.

Why would anyone make a game primarily for peasants like you who only have like 10 buttons on a controller? That's around as many buttons as my razer mouse only (excluding hypershift), and i have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ keyboard too.

You're also contradicting yourself. I'm complaining about the lack of skills and you're telling me they brought it down to my level? Clearly YOUR level is ape brained 8 button snoozefest, using the same skills in hinterlands alone is enough to bore me to death. Have you even watched the previous 2 games? This game was clearly dumbed down for subpar casual audiences like you.

Do you even know what a mage is? What they're supposed to do and actually do in lore everywhere from DA to WoW and wherever else? 8 Buttons would be CRIMINAL for the most boring warrior build, but for a mage? Ugh...

I already decided i'd only buy it on sale after the trailer. But the gameplay was somehow worse. Though if there is one thing Bioware has constantly improved in the series it's the cinematics and the visuals around combat, very athletic and flashy, gotta say it looks damn good but if it's anything like inquisition, spamming the same 3-4 buttons every other second then what is the point?
