Did you use the selectparty console command? I know using it causes that Oghren bug.

Everything I do Sten hates. It's -10 that, -10 this. Everything.
He's got about 1/4 bar left before he kicks my teeth in, has his way with Morrigan and leaves me.
Is there anything I can do to bring him back up other than his unusual preference for paintings? These are only +5 and aren't offsetting his hate for this world and everyone in it.

Ah really? Good to know.
I don't think I ever had to rebuy anything (besides accidentally selling good gear) because of that damn Warden's Keep DLC. I'm such a packrat :lol.

Redcliffe Castle Spoilers
When you go into the Fade to save Connor, you can make a deal with the Desire Demon to get 100% affection with a party member
You can also choose to have sex with the demon, get extra skill points, and learn blood magic.
Aside from that I don't think you can really come back from such a steep hate level unless you start being an asshole or giving Sten a lot of gifts.

If you liked KOTOR you'll be fine with it. The 360 graphics aren't that good, but the game still is. Definitely get it.

Got this on PC.
Enjoying it, but...
I've been having major WoW cravings lately, and all this does is make me want to get back into WoW. I associate this kind of gameplay with MMOs, and without the multiplayer component, it just feels kind of hollow to me.
So basically, I'm a scrub who doesn't have much experience with WRPGS and I'm not sure if I'm enjoying Dragon Age or not.
Also, I'm finding the visuals pretty unappealing.
I'll keep going though.

I did the exact same thing and was wondering the exact same thing. So far I've not gotten a definitive answer to it. I reloaded and killed the thing and was expecting to loot something good from it but got nothing. I'm not hurting for money since I'm a Rogue but it would have been nice if you got something for your trouble.
So far, it seems going the evil side of it (letting it live) is the way to go because you get something out of it.

Are there more than one encounters with this enemy? During my quest,
I already killed her in the area where she had hypnotized the knight and acting as his wife.

Yes there are but, I'm almost certain that only this particular Demon (The one controlling Connor) can give you anything tangible. The one hypnotizing the Templar in the tower doesn't give you anything for letting her go, I already tried

.Morrigan quest spoilers:
Anyone else encounter this?
I found the Black Grimore to start the Morrigan quest to kill Flemeth. I only have myself (Noble Dwarf Warrior, sword and shield specs, lvl 14), Shale, Alistar, and Morrigan (who cannot participate in killing Flemeth). Definitely wish I had of got my trapping maxed out (apparently you can place traps to kill Flemeth when she turns into a Dragon and when she lands she gets owned, kinda hax but still :lol. I have to find another character... hopefully a healer in the mean time.

Oh got it. I thought it was a boss so there was only one instance and I was fighting with same one who was in Redcliffe castle. May be it is a boss but you fight normal version of it before final encounter. I have yet to clear Fade.
Finished the game yesterday (48 hs). Pretty satisfying ending and GOTY contender imo. I'm gonna give it a second playthrough in a couple of weeks.
The game has the longest credits I've ever seen in any media. Like 15/20 minutes of credits.
So, about the ending:
Also, Otto was such a cool character (the blind templar). Shame I couldn't recruit him =/

So, about the ending:
Morrigan is going to use her son/daughter to transfer her soul into him/her like Flemeth did. That's the idea, right? I can already see Morrigan in every Dragon Age sequels no matter the time period.

Also just wanted to give a Low spec system HOORAH! for my laptop in this thread.
I have an Acer Aspire with an Athlon 2.1Ghz dual core, 4GB memory, and an integrated Radeon HD 3200.
I'm running DA at medium settings, 1366x768 resolution. While the framerate has a few hick-ups here and there (mostly when there is a lot of volumetric fog or something of the sort) it runs above 30 FPS consistently and is very playable.

What are you asking exactly? You can do that quest at any time, so if you're not happy with your party makeup you can wait. Isn't the Grimoire found in the circle of magi though? Did youwill52 said:
kill wynne? If so, you won't get another healer. You might have to spec Morrigan for that task.
Which MMO lets you control four characters at once without multiboxing?civilstrife said:

I'm curious as to whether
she still makes the offer if you never do the side quest for the grimoire. Makes me wonder if she'd known about it all along, just that flemeth wasn't going to do it to her. Also tho, if the Child's an old god, I can't imagine he/she/it wouldn't have the power to repel her mental takeover.....
I suppose we'll see.

I took my dog with me for that quest. I died during the fight and Mangy (my dog) ended up owning the beast. Pretty bad ass

Playing 360 version. About 40 hours in and now every other enemy I kill just stands there. Sometimes my party simply attacks them instead of the waves of other live enemies. Sometimes I have to stand around for minutes to get them to finally drop so I can get loot.
Never had bug problems with Mass Effect.
Never had bug problems with Fallout 3.
This sucks.

The only similar thing I've had is quests and similar taking a while to "trigger". For example in
the fade when you're in the tower, the character's responses can take a while to trigger after killing the enemies in their dream.

Yeah, I've had this problem too. It often occurs after waking nightmare has been cast, but other times it just does it on its own. It is really annoying.

I've had this problem but it hasn't affected the game too adversely as of yetrobut said:
A friend of mine said he managed to do the circle of magi boss fight before going into the Fade. He's fairly sure that the Fade is entirely skippable because of this. Did anyone try this? Not that you'd want to skip it because of all the stat bonuses , but the thought didn't occur to me at all.
Respecced Oghren as a dual wielding warrior berserker/champion.
Berserked Oghren does Warcry to knock down enemies around him followed by flurry -> dual handed sweep -> momentum - few enemies live to even do any special moves.
My favorite was Oghren having 3 enemies clustered in front of him and my main rogue behind the enemies in backstab position -> both of us did dual sweep at the same time.
2 enemies died right away and the one living only has 5% left. :lol
Of course, there's also the respecced Wynn, who becomes the goddess of CC -> force field on bosses while the fighters and rogues kill the white and yellow mobs in a matter of seconds, and sleep/waking nightmare when the white/yellow mobs crowd my taunting dwarf.
She does diddly shit for damage, but goddamn does she control the field so easily. Forcefield is such an OP spell (even when you don't cheese with it).
Assasin/bard line is also pretty sweet - combo the song of courage (high cunning is so very sweet) with mark of death/assasin backstab bonus/lethality/momentum and bosses go down quick.

As soon as you enter that room the sloth demon has you. There's no way around the room and there's no actions to choose to get you of the sloth demons control.

Yeah, my main was dualwield zerk/champ on my 2nd playthrough and was badass. I think finesse and dex bonus to defense might be a bit overpowered, especially considering it is stacked on a warrior class who could be wielding 2 longswords with 3 grand master runes each.Arde5643 said:
1st playthrough on normal each revenant fight required a good deal of healing, potion and spell with rogue main. 2nd playthrough on hard with dual wield warrior and I didn't have to heal on the revenant fights, the revenants died too quick.

And if you don't have a warrior to tank (which you shouldn't do), your combat rogue should take the duelist/bard route instead of assasin/bard.
Duelists get a very nice attack/defense bonus and stacked with bard's song of courage combined with heroic offense/heroic defense as well as rally (if you have warrior) and you get an almost non-missing/non-hittable rogue.
Of course this forces you to take the dex/cun route instead of dex/str, so either get dagger/dagger or axe/dagger dual wielding for your rogue (dagger/dagger does more damage in the long run due to speed and crits, but axe/dagger kills white mobs faster).
Don't take dual wielding expertise/mastery since they're pretty useless for your dex/cun rogue (daggers have very good crit, attack faster (so no need for mastery), and you need good str to take advantage of dual wielding mastery).
The damage you gained from combat stealth + lethality + momentum + song of courage (w/ high cunning) offweighs advantages gained from dual wielding expertise/mastery (w/ high strength).
Dex/cun rogues should always get bard skills - the atk+damage bonuses you get from very high cunning is too damn good to miss out especially with momentum+lethality on.
