Dragon Age Inquisition Guide: How to Get Started

Hit the Search Key Like You’re Hunting for Red October

The goodies of Dragon Age: Inquisition aren’t going to sing the Russian national anthem for you. You’re going to have to find them the hard way. That means using the new Search key. If you’re unfamiliar, Search sends out a little ping from your character. Its range is actually fairly impressive. It highlights important resources, loot, and also leads you to special treasures.

But you need to mash it. Constantly. Walking around the Hinterlands? Be Searching. Wandering in a cave? Searching. Always have Search going unless you’re actively in combat. You never know what goodies you’ll turn up.
