I'm playing the game for the first time (15 years too late I know) after the announcement for Veilguard. loved this.

Thanks for clearing everything up, looking back it makes sense I was just struggling to understand which to pick for what class.

Thanks.
I have not played this game in over 6+ months. i don't plan on doing any more videos for this game. Meaning i am so out of practice, it would take hours/days of game play to figure the game out again.

I do hope that you find what you are looking for though.

Custom settings are better. Watch the second video about setting tactics. I never took the time to learn the preset tactic settings.

@TheCommentGuy8
I don't know for certain as i only played the pc version. I would have guessed that you would just have to have the skills set via the tactics menu, and that the skill bar doesn't matter.
I assumed that the skill bar was used for manual selection of the skills when you switch to that character.

What is the "C" version?
I assumed the "C" version was short for console, but then your question doesn't make sense.

Ty I thought red ones meant something was wrong and it wouldn't work I was getting frustrated I didn't understand how I was screwing it up now I can really set up my final party. Just started a new run after getting about halfway through and turning my warden into a support mage right before I got Winnie

[PIcKLezeh]

good video...could you show one for battle and where to put your "henchmen"

[Jeorney]

How do you set up one of those special spell combos? I want Morrigan to use the Vulnerability Hex on the enemy only when her health is < 90%, followed immediately by Drain Health on that hexed enemy.
Would the following work?
1) IF Self: health < 90% THEN Vulnerability Hex.
2) IF Enemy Status: Charmed THEN Drain Life.

The first condition doesn't specify an enemey target, so would that line execute? In the second condition, is a vulnerability Hexed enemy reconised as Charmed?

[Shykaary]

Your voice is awesome. Your tutorial helped a lot, thanks. :3

[TheCommentGuy]

@MicroWare1 oh, sorry, by C I mean PC, I forgot the P behind the C = PC

[TheCommentGuy]

I have a question, do my characters have to have the spells and skills on their skill bar in order to use it? I know in the C version, you must have the skills in the skill bare for the tactic to work, but is it the same in the console version?

[macvin]

awesome vid man! can't wait for part 2, when is it coming?

[Crygie]

Great Tutorial, time to watch part 2!

[MrKrautsaftnudel]

With how many tactic slots does Morrigan start when you get her?

[TheBlackenedMaster]

Thanks. Really helps to learn what all this does, especially when you're trying to beat the game on Nightmare for the first tim.
