It would be hilarious if you could do it and your character model would be missing teeth for the rest of the game :lol

Ha! I wondered what would happen but didn't want to lose my teeth. Seems I didn't miss much.

The part at the very start of the Mage origin with the Fade isn't that great, but it picks up a lot from there. The cool thing about being a mage in this game is that they're feared, misunderstood and hated by everyone.
Playing as an elf compounds it, since they're the second-class citizens of that world. Lots of interesting dialogue and character interactions playing as an Elf Mage.

The mage storyline is among the most boring of the select origins. Maybe it was Jowan, but yeah... not my favorite. Still, it's empowering to use a mage and enter a room and freeze everyone in their positions and then use a mass lightning AoE spell.
Well, mages are very uber powerful by middle to end in this game, so I'm not very surprised.Zeliard said:The part at the very start of the Mage origin with the Fade isn't that great, but it picks up a lot from there.

Oh yeah, I did this it was funny. I thought about her afterwards, she got a raw deal SPOILER
the night after she bangs you just to get pregnant with a nobles child you get tossed out on your ass.

Some think the mage is too overpowered in this game (again), but if you play on Hard his attack spells do so much potential friendly fire damage that it seems like that would balance out the power of the spells.

Tried setting the difficulty to easy?Cday said:

That part is hard as shit, I suggest pulling your party back to the hill and engaging them there. That way at least you have some type of control over how many you fight at once. The adds will just stand and wait for you at the chantry entrance so you won't get overwhelmed. They keep coming and coming so be prepared, I finished that part with only 1 person alive :lol

Hah, exact opposite of me. :lolCcrooK said:
Have the PC version. Looks great. Like the combat more as a mage than a rogue. Rogue didn't click with me.
You can't have trigger toggle on to queue? What the hell! Holding that trigger is the worst. What an oversight.
Also, how do you reliably get your entire group to flee? I've held both LB+RB which selected my entire team, held the left trigger, then pointed at a piece of ground I all wanted them to run to, and they only follow the order half the time. Is there a better way to say "everyone stop what they're doing right now and go here or follow me" (on 360)?

I just beat that part on Casual, after dying 4 times on Normal. Was pretty easy, even though all the friendly guard NPC's still died at the end.
Alistar, Sten, some Rogue and my main, a mage.

This shit was hard even on normal! They just kept coming! Had to reload a lot there.
Had myself(1h warrior), my dog, Alistar(1h), and Sten(2h). I had two alive at the end and had the npcs alive for awhile til they all died.No magic guys. All my guys were on a different undead helping out the NPCs as long as they can. I could never groupl my guys on one enemy. Eventually they will run out. That's how I did it.
Thank goodness for quick saves and pausing the game.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Damnit Morrigon
I spent so many gifts on her only to find out she drops relationship points if you select morally good choices AND she doesnt' even get it on with a girl character
Ah well, that church girl will have to do I guess.

I had no trouble with the undead there with myself (shield specced warrior,) Al (nearly identical build), Morrigan and the pooch on normal.
Went there after doing the Daelish first, though, which may have helped.

Yes. It took me a couple tries.. mostly because i didnt want to level up my character and spend skill points. Playing as a noble dwarf warrior btw. i had issues because although Paralyze and Weaken from the mage work on it, aggro would immediately be pulled off of my fighters. If i used taunting abilities, those characters would be 3 shot. Without heals it is kind of difficult. i beat it once by chance and made the mistake of reloading thinking "i could do better" :lol Yeah.. didnt work out as well as planned. In the end, i just equipped everyone with ranged and had the mage run around in circles. Had to reload once doing this because he got one shot from a charge.
