I love Alistair. My dwarf noble is the tank so Alistair and him conflicted so I made Alistair a dual wielding warrior and he's a mage-killing sumbitch now. He's the guy that always leaps on the ogres and has a stab party.
I was in a Dungeon, massively outnumbered and my party was all off doing their own business, I killed my opponent and pressed A to move on to attack someone else, I got there and it was a big beast my Mage was attacking, and with my first and only Sword attack I backhand decapitated him :lol It was so fluid

It seems it can only be sword and dagger or dagger and dagger,
Or anything "swordish" like a mace or an axe...etc.
Maybe there's a skill later on allows you two swords?

According to the skill description: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dual_Weapon_Talentsangelfly said:
You can wield two main-hand weapons instead of one main-hand and one dagger.
There might be a few axes or so out there that are allowed in the off-hand slot as well. No idea.

Morrigan and Zevran are the "easy" ones, yep.

Any "knock spell" mods out there?
I hate being forced to use a rogue.

You can dualwield two longswords that's for sure (aslong as you meet the prereq's for wielding a weapon ffcourse).
There are a lot of STR rogues around dualwielding longswords. (think you need 32STR for top tier longswords, so you might want to keep that in mind while lvling up)

not that I have the pc version.. would be cool for a key mod
purchasable keys, so you the non rogues can open up doors/chests

I went back and took down that Dragon in the mountains. It wasn't very difficult with everyone in my party at lvl 18. Damn Alistair took the killing blow.
I'm now 50 hours in and am on the final battle.
It's midnight here so I am going to wait until tomorrow to finish the rest of the game as I assume the final battle areas will take a good hour or two.
I really can't wait to finish up and then move on to another origin.
There are so many plot defining choices to be made in this game it is crazy. Just in these last few hours there were a few major choices that would have significantly affected the story. This is seriously the best RPG I have played in years. I might just have to give it my game of the year over Demon's Souls, but the jury is still out on that one... for now.

I impregnated Morrigan at the end, so I hope something interesting happens as a result. I made sure to make a save game right before that so I could see what happens when I refuse her. That sure seemed like a pretty heavy game changer to be throwing at me right near the end.
I plan on taking out the two generals that Riordan mentioned. Does anyone know if that changes the actual ending?

WOW really? I'm about to hit the 20 hour mark in a hour or two and I'm still working on the first of the 4 main quests you get after getting access to the map. Though I am indeed doing all side quests I can in the areas before moving on. I definetly am not trying to rush through this game though and I exhaust pretty much all dialog trees and listen to them completely instead of reading the subs and skipping text.

Probably because the game starts you off generally with goody good characters and situations. Early on it's easy to get Morrigan highly disapproving of you.

I just grabbed this game yesterday - and after playing around with it for an hour or two, I think I have finally found a good fantasy RPG to hold me over until the next Elder Scrolls comes out.

One suggestion: check download section from menu. You can see this in the list after installation and make sure it is enabled.
Absolutely you can. I'm wielding a longsword and battle axe right now. You have to unlock the master duel wielding talent, and have enough strength for the weapon in question. There is no off hand restriction at that point. Any main hand weapon is equippable in either hand.Woo-Fu said:Are you sure of that, I played through the game as a dual wield rogue and I don't recall seeing any longsword that was rated either hand/off hand? I really wanted to dual wield the two hand axes you find.

Hehe, don't think you can dualwield 2handers no, single handed full-sized weapons is possible, I'm not sure about axes/hammers and such though. (edit: thx for clearing that up Tobor)
Only read about dualwielding longswords, one of the game designers even recommends using a longsword (or two not sure about that) in mid/endgame.

Same guy who's working on the dex fix.
Bit torn atm about my built, I want to play a utility rogue first but it seems I'll have to pass up on all those "uber" dmgfeats etc. Boosting my STR to 32 will cost me a lot of cunning/CONST... It's either a utility rogue, or some crazy damagedealing combo, can't have both, guess that's good design.
My only problem - that isn't much of a problem, really - is that I keep making new characters. I want to see where everyone starts out; I'm not patient enough to finish one person's game before starting another one. For a non-MMO, this game is taking my altaholic problem and running with it.

I believe you have to finish the enemy off with a critical hit via melee to get a kill animation (for example, a decapitation). Odds are it's happened a few times after 30 hours, but you didn't happen to see it. It can be tough to catch when there's a lot going on if you don't pause at the right time.

When do you get to specialize? About 10 hours in and still can't specialize yet all the NPC's are specialized and low lvl.

Completely different type of game.
DS is much more of an action game. This is a story driven WRPG.
Having played them both, I'd say we're lucky to have 2 of the best RPGs released in years in 2009.
Fuuuuck Yeah. Finally got an awesome kill.
oh my god. This game is Awesome
My warrior jumped on the dragon's head, impaled him wind waker style, then rode him down to the ground, plus finishes it by jumping off, FULL 360 Fucking SPIN in midair and gives the dragon one last slash across it's face.

I don't even...you're trying to compare this game to Demon's Souls. It's...god, they're not even close to being the same, it is impossible to compare them.
Dragon Age is a CRPG, Demon's Souls is, uh, a skill based action game with rpg elements.
