Dragon Age: Origins

[JayDizzle]

I'm a little "upset" that I have to roll up a Rogue sometime this weekend (almost finished with my Warrior Trophy Whore playthrough) due to the 250 pt Damage trophy I still need to get.

Stupid Bioware requiring 3 playthroughs to get the Recruiter trophy too (get everyone including the "secret companion" at the end)... luckily I'm at Orzammar as a Mage right now as well.

Platinum trophy, here I come.

are u trying to get all the trophies or something?

At least all the ones for Origins done before I go pick up DAII.

My copy of Awakening is bugged as shit to the point where I'm going to need a guide so I successfully get everything without losing my gear, etc.

I know I can just look at DA Wiki for that but they don't tell you that if you walk into the wrong area, you can completely skip the part where you recruit Anders and Oghren inside the Keep.

I ended up importing a character I had from a finished game, doing all the mini-quests that let you into the Keep and walking to the area on the right of the Blacksmith shop.

Next cutscene I see has Invisible Oghren and Invisible Anders chatting it up, leaving me to fight the first Mini-Boss with the Red Shirt chick and almost dying had I not of brought a shit-ton of health poultices with me.

If the game itself wasn't bugged (the quest in the mines where you have to kill all the enemies to get your gear back is a main culprit), there would be no skipping ahead and I'd be working with 4 party members instead of 2.

i dont remember much from awakenings. i know i didnt have any issue like that on the 360 version. i never heard anything about the ps3 version being bugged....but what your saying seems fucked up

Alright, I'm about to begin DA:O.

Any recommendations on starting class, race, and background?

I typically enjoy being an offensive mage, but if there's something more effective and/or fun I'd be willing to try it.

I only played through it once but I did it as a Warrior, which is probably the easiest class to play as.

VERY helpful! Thanks a ton!

Do you have any recommendations regarding race and background? I know each race has different skill bonuses and each background provides a different starting skill.

EDIT: It looks like Elf is the best way to go. Both Dalish and City Elves have a starting skill I need (Survival and Coercion, respectively), so I guess I just need to know which might be more interesting.

all i remember was doing elf mage. i dont recall gettng a choice between city and dalish. dalish are more of the archer type if i recall

Alright, I'll go city if I can.

[BrntO4Life]

Well, jesus almighty.

I fired this up last night and PLAYED FOR 9 STRAIGHT HOURS.

I chose to be a City Elf Mage (I guess Dalish isn't unlocked yet as a background). I'm currently in Lothering doing all these bullshit fetch sidequests and killing bears.

I just added Leliana and some big Qurani to my party (I threatened to kill the Revered Mother ). I think I'm Level 7 or 8 and following Maynard's advice on a proper build.

[JayDizzle]

I won... again.

Now to do the DLC (Witch Hunt for now but I'll go back to Awakening later) and start on DAII.

EDIT: Took me 71 hours, 36 minutes and 46 seconds.

[BrntO4Life]

Well, all I got to do before I left for Austin was 3 hours of chatting with everyone in my party and chatting with everyone in Redcliffe.

 

Stupid Dwyn. Didn't want to have to kill his ass.
