 It may not have been a good thing to just keep trucking around the Hinterlands in what I think is me being determined to finish everything in that area before i move on.

Even if it means collecting shards and scrutinizing a barely legible map and slipping on rocks and cliffsides that I thought I could scale. 

I already miss my crappy city in DA2. 

Even the Brecilian Forest wasn't this infuriating.

You literally cannot finish the Hinterlands in one go, there are certain quests in the Hinterlands that require materials and stuff from other areas. I do recommend getting all the shards if possible, because they are important, and I recommend you do all the climbing and jumping you can on your horse--if you fall off a cliff and DON'T get thrown from the saddle, you don't get hurt when you land at the bottom. The horse will be pissed, but you'll be fine. HOWEVER it is easy to get thrown from the saddle until you unlock certain Inquisition perks that level up your riding ability (better saddles, better training, etc.), so try to be careful.

If you don't have your horse yet, please find Master Dennet and get on that ASAP because horse equals love. Also recruit Dennet when you can (it'll be later) because then you get a HORSE SHOP. AND YOU CAN RIDE GIANT HALLA. I mean you can do that anyway if you get the Flames of Inquisition DLC, but meh. MEH.

This is a great game and I hope you leave the Hinterlands soon because seriously they are the slowest, most boring part of the game and once you get out of there everything is awesome.

I second the recommendation to get out of the Hinterlands. There's so much more to see and do, and you have to come back here later anyway. Move on to the other areas. Do some plot missions. Find some other companions. It'll all be much more interesting when you do.

I understand -- I have completionist instincts, too. But completionist instincts will not serve you well in this game.

The sad part is that I feel like I might have completed half of the Hinterlands sidequests before getting the horse. All those blinking icons nearby and telling me to pop over for a spell on my slow-as-hell computer that can't work DAI's graphics requirements.

Unless more sprout up afterwards.


But, i'm pretty sure that the last companions I'll get are Iron Bull and Dorian and Cole, and the first two are pretty much within my grasp.
