No biggie for me. Stealing/lockpicking = worthless. Clearing out a dungeon, then returning with Leliana to open some locks & find only leather helmets & whitewood shortbows... is just embarassing. There really should be an option to bash chests, or destroy them with magic, though.

-Dragon Age -Divinity 2, playthrough as ranger this time. Mage > ranger > warrior in this game. As it should be.

^I've had Imoen-Chick doing 153 damage with Marjolaine's Recurve... and it took away 1/3 HP of a Dwarven archer. *sigh* It seems the Redcliffe battle is hard when one genuinely tries to save the militia schmucks... I don't bother with that.

Anyone have any tactics for the cranium rats in the beginning of the Human Noble origins? Oh, wait.

^How rich are we talking here? I'm replaying the game and again I am having serious trouble making gold. Leliana pickpocketing doesn't really seem to help much. Those distillation/concentrator agents don't come cheap. I can only buy nifty equipment for my PC mage, but that's about it.

Dragon gets owned: Shimmering Shield FTW. The bugger even died before I could do the fancy slow-mo 'coup de gr

Heh, Sand hardly is the ace attorney. If you let him do all the pleading, you're bound to lose. Bards ftw.

Storm of the Century > Inferno > Fireball

There's a Persuade check with Captain Isabela too. I had level 2 Coercion, but failed it.

On my first playthrough I burnt all my lyrium potions during the Revenant battle in the Mage tower (level 7/:) and eventually I had to do the End boss of that level without any potions at all... without Force Field & Cone of Cold, it would probably have been impossible to win. I was lucky that I had just continued developing the spells Morrigan started out with, instead of giving her fire spells...

On my next playthrough, I will count how many times Shale says "Squish".

Brecilian Forest first, without Wynne? There are some very challenging fights there for a low-level party. I'd take Circle Tower, followed by Redcliffe-Denerim, then Elves, Urn & Orzammar.

Huh. First time I did Battle of Redcliffe, militia got wiped out. Second time... same result. It's best to leave Redcliffe before the battle, and leave the schmucks to their fate, imo. Same difference.

*points at enormous shoulder pads & Dalish Elf bra armour*

Cone of Cold still owns almost everything on normal, especially after a Vulnerability hex. I figure Misdirection hex later in the game makes Revenants (and any other heavy hitting mini-boss) cake. But on Hard/Nightmare most critters probably have ridiculous resistances against everything. Bio's idea of making a game hard.

That's why you become an Arcane Warrior asap, don Dragonbone/Juggernaut Armour and start swinging Spellweaver.

... Guess you went melee? Very bad move in a Piranha Bytes game.

Arcane Warrior + Juggernaut armour = me gonna solo the end boss. EDIT: ugh, the above should've gone in the other thread.

The endgame boss should've been a giant Darkspawn version of Cauthrien dual-wielding Summer swords. That would've been epic. On the third level, there's a broken statue with a black phylactery, IIRC.

No, not Gary. The dude in the night club.

Loghain should simply have sent off Cauthrien to end the Blight on her own. She's a friggin Energizer Bunny with a sword.

I hate that former movie star vampire in Hollywood. He should have been voiced by Raphael Sbarge.

Spamming Cone of Cold nicely keeps the Mage Tower Revenant in check. That is, until one runs out of lyrium potions.

Occasionally when your PC spots an enemy, s/he says "Warden sense tingling!".Yes. Don't you need a certain rank in Survival for that?
