BTW, the PS4 we bought came in last week, and this weekend we went by Best Buy and bought a used copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition and a new copy of Assassin's Creed: Syndicate.

We already played DA:I on the PS3, but this way we can both play it again with a different Inquisitor so I can romance Cullen yes we could have done that on the PS3 version and play the PS4-only DLC.

And we got $10 knocked off AC:S because someone had filed a copy of a nicer version in the wrong spot behind a locked glass door and we tried to buy it at the price it was therefore labeled, which was half of what it actually was--we tried to look it up but that version didn't show up in any of our searches, so we didn't realize it was UberSpecialVersion. The clerk called a manager over to ask if he could knock the price down for us and after the manager (1) accused us of placing it in the wrong section--we pointed out it was BEHIND A LOCKED GLASS DOOR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD and he backed down--and (2) publicly berated the clerk for daring to suggest we get the product at the price it was marked as, telling him the store couldn't give away all its margin, he offered to knock $10 off the price. At which point we said we wanted the version that was cheap, which was why we got that since it was labeled as the cheapest, and he said we could take $10 of the regular, plain version. (WHICH IS TITLED "LIMITED EDITION". IDEK.)

Anyway. This is all to say that we ran into this very glitch, which was captured for posterity by someone-or-other and uploaded to YouTube. In it, there are THREE invisible characters, Evie and Jacob Frye, the main-character assassin twins, and Henry Greene, an assassin confederate of theirs. No spoilers, unless you count them acquiring an employee and a train early on in the game a spoiler (OH NO I JUST SPOILED YOU MIGHT AS WELL WATCH IT).

House Consensus is that Manager Dude is "[a bit of] a knobber". The Internet has spoken, let the eternal public shaming commence!

I forgot to mention that Toby wrote a Very Strong Email to corporate about it, stressing that the clerk acted gracefully throughout the whole thing and that we were appalled at the behavior of the manager in dressing his employee down in public. We got a blandly boilerplate reply back, letting us know that this was not standard Best Buy behavior. I can only hope that a copy of the email found its way into both the manager's file and the clerk's file.

Dragon Age Inquisition forever! I highly approve ^^ - romanced Cullen on my canonical Dalish Elf female and then for the first time since I ever had the choice created a male human mage to romance Dorian. Too good not to be experienced ^^

XD Toby tends to alternate male and female PCs when playing games, and had just finished Saints' Row...whatever number, the one where you fight aliens...with a female protagonist, so we made a male one then (SerTired[OfThisShit]) (http://telophase.livejournal.com/2545098.html), who ended up romancing Cassandra. I thought Cullen was bland and boring at first, but as we got more into his storyline, I started liking him more, and decided that one day I or we would replay it and romance him. XD

I don't have a snapshot of our current female elf mage, but her name is Lady Whatt [TheFuckYouOnAbout?]. (I suppose it's better than a friend who tends to name his characters MonkeyNutz).

Oh you always play one character together? Well, then have fun with Cullen, he's not as stuck up as he used to be fer sure ^^

Yeah, I tend to get easily bored with repetitive combat while he finds it relaxing, so I end up surfing the internet during those bits. Works out well!
