Speaking of that fight w/ the Anc.Rock Wraith: another gripe w/ fantasy games (DA:O and DA2 included): When I see a PILE of gold...it would be nice if I could scoop it ALL up.

Since I was always running out of those and had to bring Anders everytime for healing. And the shops don't restock very well either.sigpic

My God. That comic. Hilarious.
My Assassin actually did pretty good with the Arishok duel. It was a lot of Backstab, Assassinate, Tactical Withdrawal, and Stealth, but I managed to come out on top without too much running and screaming.
The Rock Wraith was the hard one. Bethany, Anders, and Varric... probably not the best idea for this.

(which lends to the argument that the game's combat does resemble an MMO's: warrior is either tank or multi-mob DPS, rogue is single-target DPS or ranged control, mage is support or nuker, etc. I mean, something like that could be seen for DA:O, too, but it wasn't as 'rigid' in as far as being like an MMO in terms of roles)
Hmm. I brought Varric, Merrill and Isabela, if memory serves. The only fight that gave me mutliple deaths in the Deep Roads: the one w/ the big spider (I didn't know you could just go up the stairs and kill it at range... ) and the dragon.

With Anders and my mageHawke as support Aveline just became a massive tank as the game went along I probably neglected Varric the most, as it didn't seem to matter if he fell in battle or not, the rest of us could usually finish it off anyway.sigpic

Zero Punctuation 'review' for Dragon Age II:
(warning: language)
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...Age-II&h=d4676
re: Aveline
Hmm. In my first playthrough, since the 2-hander can double as a tank (well, for 'normal' difficulty, anyway), I didn't really have much need for a dedicated tank (the only instance I remember her being useful is for the 2nd Ogre fight, the one that isn't exaggerated anymore).
Anders was quite useful w/ Panacea turned on: Him, Varric and Merrill (both utilized as ranged DPS/AoE DOT) were set to 'hold position' and just spammed spells within the relatively safety of Ander's healing AoE, while my 2-hander 'went around', doubling as 'mob control' and 'tank'.Last edited by gotthammer; 30 March 2011, 09:18 AM.

If I play through again I would definitely try as a Rogue and try out archery. I collected tons of bows throughout the game and no one was able to equip them.sigpic

Is anyone else playing Dragon Age Legends? It's not exactly my cup of tea, and I despise facebook, but I'm enough of a completionist that I'm playing it anyway"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

What level is your character? (mine's 10, but close to 11)

I only check in to Legends about once a day so I'm not quite as far along as that yet. My guy is a mage, lvl 5 so far. And I hate spiders even more in Legends than I do in DAO and DA2!"A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

And yes, they're more annoying in DA:L (have you encountered the venom spitting variety? )

Oh god, something else to look forward to
The one thing about the game that really bugs the hell out of me though...how frequently attacks give "glancing blows". I understand there's a need for balance so your guy isn't god, but the frequency with which it happens is beyond annoying."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.
