I still don't know how you use or access the "tactics" stuff in the PS3 version. Whats up with this?
That sounds kinda boring to be honest. I like the options I have with Shale, Zevron, Leilana, and my spirit healer/blood mage. Gives me multiple ways of handling most encounters.iam220 said:

Hmm, retail version? Not sure about that. For the steam version you just enter the game CD code (you only get one code) at the Bioware site redeem page, then if you had the game open, restart the game.

Don't enter the dashes. I had that problem - I typed them in and nothing happened. Try it without?

Is there a concensus on who the best mage is? In the early game I actually preferred Wynne in almost a cleric role, healing and buffing three strong melee characters. Was Iincorrect?
Anerythristic said:
All depends. Wynne is a great support, buffing and healing mage. Morrigan is better when control and actually doing damage. And that's where they start. How you level them up also becomes a consideration. I take 2 warrior types (my main being one of them) a rogue for mobile flanking, and Wynne for healing. If you swap one of the warrior types for a non, I would suggest getting Morrigan for the crowd control.
That's the beauty of all the NPCs so far. Most, if not all of them, are useful. There's not a worthless one in the bunch.

I'm playing as a rogue that I've essentially gone the warrior-rogue route with, and I have been running a Morrigan/Leilana/Shale party alongside. It's been working out fine, as long as Morrigan's tactics basically make her super aggressive and Leilana knows to spread some healing potions around.

Hmmm been going through the menus all over the place and see no use or place where tactics are or why I spent my starting point on taking extra tactics slot which I can't even figure out how to use.

Rogues don't suck. Lay traps at the doorway then tell your party to wait outside the same doorway. Stealth in and hit the group with a poison grenade of your choice then run out drawing them into the traps and into your waiting party. I just hope you are not using the Rogue as a Warrior

Console UI is so messy, wish I waited for my PC because I keep just getting frustrated with this.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Wow. Finished the game as a Human Noble, pretty effing sweet experience. Here's what I did at some pivotal moments.
Before I begin my second play through as a male character, can someone PLEASE tell me whether Morrigon will have sex with any type of male ? dwarf, elf, is it all good ?
- First off I didn't choose to kill or let any of my party go.
- Zevran did NOT betray me. He chose to fight for me when the crow's ambushed me in Denerim.
- I chose to kill Loghain and opted to become Alister's queen myself. Hur hur hur, fuck you anora
- I completed every side character's personal quest (except for Loghain, if he has one).
- I bunked Alister, Zeveran and a few loose women and a husky dwarf at the Pearl. Tried like MAD to get Leliana but no avail )
- At the end, I agree'd to let Morrigon have her way with Alister. The look on Alister's face in the cutscene is priceless. He's scared shitless or really repulsed, or both.
The ending epilogues being text only was kind of a bummer, I was half expecting something like Fallout 3's epilogues, voiced at least.
Also, one thing I'm really surprised at, I was expecting the original grey warden who gets killed off at the start to come back at some point in a twist or something.

I just went to my Fraps folder to look for some screenshots and found out that I have over 40GB of DA:O movies. Apparently I pressed the wrong button once while playing yesterday. It's pretty amazing that I didn't even notice any performance degradiation because of that.

DA:O plays pretty nicely with Fraps. I've only noticed the framerate cut in half from a constant 60 to a constant 30, which isn't too bad.
GasProblem said:Hmm, I was planning on Alistair, Shale and Morrigan, but Zevran instead of Morrigan sounds nice too. More to think about
I run Morrigan, Shale and Alistar. The bickering between Morrigan and Shale gets hillarious with him always referring to her as the Swamp Witch ... and her suggesting where one can put the control rod.

guys, please keep all endgame stuff spoilered. Even pet names for the outcomes.
I want to keep up with the thread but I feel like we're getting close to too much info about critical story parts.

Yeah, I went with Alistair, Morrigan, and Zevran. The inter-party dialog is great.
Zevran: "What are you doing?"
Morrigan: "You mean besides the Grey Warden?"

I have a question about getting the Blood Mage spec. I've a save right before it so I can try different things.
Thanks.
I let Jowan out of his cell and said him to do wathever he want so get out and he said he had to help. Well, I'm in front of Isolda right now, with jowan by its side, I do the Blood Mage pass to the veil, and I can only pick Morrigan to enter it, so I choose her. Once in there, the first time I see Connor, I tell him that I want to see the demon. In the to next talks with him, I try to speak with the demon, but in the final speak with the demon, she gives me no choices and the fight begins whatever I do. Am I doing it wrong? Is it doable with Morrigan?
Thanks.

40GB is nothing :lol 5-7 minutes is 4GB.. i wish Fraps would segment things in 10 minute intervals
Screaming_Gremlin said:
There was also one exchange with Morrigan and Shale where he asked her if it were possible for her to turn into a Golem, and if so, why she wouldn't permanently remain as one given the "clear superiority of the form". :lol
(turns out she can't)
Shale really is fantastic. I accidentally read a large spoiler about him through google, though.
Edit: though, that spoiler actually makes him even more interesting. Still, it's a big fucking revelation and it would've been nice to arrive at it more naturally, so I would recommend not, uh, ever googling Shale for anything.

Almost 20 hours in and am only at
Utterly in love with the game. If the game maintains this level of quality it's easily the game of the year for me. It's hard only playing one hour at a time, it always ends up being 3+ hours and much later in the night than I was anticipating when I finally stop. I hate taking my GOTY away from Batman AA, but this game is soooo good. Maybe I will do a double award. I mean it's all just in my heart anyways and I have a big heart.
I see the game lasting atleast 60 hours for me as I do as many sidequests as possible and plan on doing a thorough reading of the codex before the game is over.
the search for the Urn of Sacred Ashes. Haven't gone to any of the groups Mages, Dwarves, etc.

How do I give Gifts to people? I'm sure this was stated in the instruction manual but it's nowhere near me and I couldn't figure out how to do it by just clicking around. I've right-clicked inside the inventory screen over the gifts and see the gift box thing but it's usually grey-ed out.

Go in inventory and go through your party members until you get to the one you want to gift something too. Then drag the gift onto them. I'm usually pretty good at matching gifts to people to get the max appreciation bonus, but I do cheat and use guess and check sometimes
Edit: seconds late

Basically there are 6 broad quests in the main quest: gather the four armies, the city meetup to prep for war, and the finale. Everything else is sidequesting. So if you are on your way to the city prep, you have about 25% left (disregarding how much time you decide to sink into sidequests)
Finally got my copy from Amazon after a bit of a shipping debacle. They said the package was lost in transit, so they overnighted a new one which I received today... along with the original order. I let them know though, so they want me to return the other one. Oh well. Can't wait to play!
