Only main decisions from DA:O save... So it's:
1. Only 1 race... Humans
2. Mass Effect dialog circle thingy
3. You are Hawke

can't wait uuu

Yeah, Fable much ?
But I love Fable ^.^

hey all, i just got this, and im installing now, any tips before i start playing?
i want to play the rogue class tho.
any content i should get etc?

not that i'm aware of. and are those like extra quests and stuff? are they good, do they cost money, etc?

just started playing as the poor elf rogue, it's pretty fun

Since there are like 3 new DLCs out since I last played this, I decided to play Dragon Age again.

Darkspawn don't stand a chance with this:


About the new DLCs that I played (Witch Hunt, Leliana's song, Golems of Amgarrak) they were actually really good. Leliana's song was my favorite ofc. I loved playing as Leliana, one of my favorite characters, before she turned all goody-good. I'd like to point out that that Varterral is extremely easy to beat with the shit party you're stuck with, even on Hard or Nightmare. However the Harvester is so hard to beat. Naturally I wanted to get all the possible achievements so I attempted it on Hard. The 2 dwarves you get are completely useless, they die within seconds. The golem is pretty good however I can't use poultices with it so it dies really fast too. I did golems of Amgarrak with a lvl 25 character that I imported from DA:O, if I chose one of my Awakening characters it probably would have been much easier but meh...

Well anyway, I played on Nightmare this time and took like 19 hours to complete it doing almost every single side quest. Then I moved onto Awakening and wanted to try something new and had a party of 3 rogues, all of which were archers and one mage. This combination is actually really good. You might think I need a tank because I'm playing on Nightmare but I really don't. Sure it takes a bit longer because when fighting stronger enemies I have to plan out all my moves carefully.

All 3 of my rogues had Ranger specialization, so before engaging in battle I would send in 3 spiders/bears first to do all the tanking. If it's a large group, use Mass Paralysis skill from my mage then get my 3 rogues and take them out one by one. This party is actually one of the best I ever had. I wanted to try something different from the norm (which is usually 2 mages/1 warrior/ 1 rogue) and it proved effective. I slayed the architect and the mother within a matter of seconds. Simply use Mark of Death, get all 3 rogues to use Arrow of Slaying followed by Rain of Arrows. If the damage doesn't make you gasm, the huge amount of arrows raining down on your enemy definitely will.

I also got a question guys, in the above screenshot Alistair has a complete Paragon Armor. This is like my 5th play-through of DA:O and it's my first time coming across this armor and weapon set. Was it added with the 1.04 patch or some DLC?

How did this post turn into such a long one..all I wanted to say is that I played Dragon Age again. This thread needs to be revived anyway. >_>

P.S anyone read the comis?

to be fair, it only wastes about 1 hour of time.

The first 3 chapters are out and so far it's about an apostate mage who had a child with a templar then gave it away to some random blacksmith she found along the road. When the child is like 16 her family is murdered and she and her brother and cousin hunt down the murderers.

Lately I've been reading a lot of the Codex and damn the history and stuff all goes into so much detail. Props to whoever wrote it.

If I buy expansions, can I continue with a finished game? I mean like return to ostagar or the awakening or something, not stone prisoner or w/ ever. I need to kill some time before black ops and I might buy those if that means I can continue with my old game.

Yeah you can import your warden to Awakening and DLC.

Oh cool, I'll look into it then =] Thanks ^^

Return to Ostagar you can't because it's just a DLC. But if you get the campaigns like Darkspawn Chronicles, Witch Hunt, Golems of Amgarrak and Leliana's song you can import your own character. (Not Darkspawn Chronicles and Leliana's song because you use..well a darkspawn and Leliana in those campaigns)

And guys I'm really sad. I was 86% done with the entire game not as in a play-through but I mean the ENTIRE game. Meaning I almost got every achievement, every ending etc etc. And then the hard drive that my Dragon Age was installed on died so bye-bye my 100 achievements

And bye-bye my 300 hours getting those achievements and everything. I'm gonna go cry now.

Sucks about the saved game but achievements are saved? Only thing that will suck is if there's a 100% completion achievement lol

Also for me the saved games are stored on the DA servers because I switched hdd 2 times and I still have all my saves.

Anyways those DLC are pretty cheap except the stone prisoner o.O Guess they aren't that big of an add on.

They made it like that so people would buy new games with free stone prisoner and not used ones.



From wiki

EDIT: My thoughts about the Dlc

The ones during the main campaign

Warden's Keep - Must have for me since I had it from the start
The Stone Prisoner - Best one (Shale is one of favorites) and the quests are interesting.
Return to Ostagar - You people have no idea how this was over-hyped (270+ page topic in one day because it was delayed) and after that it disappointed many. It wasn't bad but I wanted more dialog.
Feastday Gifts & Pranks - Funny for some characters, useful for some (Sten's book of dead that can res during combat) and a great cheat to get +100 with everyone in your party.

Seperate from the main story

Darkspawn Chronicles - Fun for a few minutes. Pure combat.
Leliana's Song - Best one. I love Leli and the story is amazing. They did a great job on this one (I even replayed it)
Golems of Amgarrak - Story was Ok. It's the one with the strongest boss "Harvester" (more powerful than the Archdemon)
Witch Hunt - It was more like go there and then go there to get that to go there. The ending left us with more questions. Still it's a must have for Morrigan lovers.

I had a code for it, but it was 4 times 4 characters and not 5. I mailed them about it but they never responded lol

:\

Damn, I wish I could play Dragon Age Legends (Looks like a better Dragon Age Journeys)
Beta is going to be out in January next year, for the ones who don't know.

Lol, I'm pretty sure they will give an error like code already used.

Just started Awakening again with an Orlesian warden, first time doing that. Sucks starting at lvl 18 u.u
guess I'll glitch my way to 25ish

Golems of Amgarrak was fun, the boss was idd pretty hard even on casual.

I like leliana too so I think I'll try that one out too :3

/Edit
Just finished Leliana's Song. Awesome stuff and a great amount of time for the 280 points you pay for it. I just love that girl, shame she's gay haha =p

Shame she is a fictional character... I mean, yeah, such shame for poor str8 guys since she is bisexual.
It's a win-win for me. (I like playing butch and lesbian dwarves xD)

Oh god Lana...I don't even..

I never play dwarves because they're too ugly. Usually human noble or city elf. Except for this one time I made a really badass dwarven warrior with a beard twice the size of his face

She's bi? o.O I thought alistar straight, morrigan too and zevran/leliana were gay. And yeah shame she's fictional haha

Nah, the homophobes would burn Bioware's building or something.
Morrgian and Alistair are straight, while Zev and Leli are bi.



Playing an elegant dwarf is hard xD
