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?

The pics above are the reason why I always go for the F/F romances in BioWare games, if possible.

Leliana's banter with Morrigan was pretty boring, and weird. Talking about shoes while you're strolling around in the Deep Roads... huh.

What Elder Scrolls primarily needs, is more Michael Kirkbride.

Enemy mage AI is retarded. Most threatening thing they do is throwing a Fireball when their own allies are attacking your party... and occasionally an Emissary will use Crushing prison or Curse of mortality, which is easily dispelled by Cleanse Area. But considering how overpowered mages are, it's maybe for the best. A lone mage with decent AI would easily tear apart any party... and it's no coincidence enemy mages don't use mana clash either. The only decent mage I've encountered is Mr Teleport in the Elven Ruins. At least he would use Paralyze when you'd try to bull-rush him.

Nothing official has been announced. But probably, yes. What else would Bethesda be busy with, aside from taking over the world? Fallout 4?

Those background textures sure look ugly.

Deep Roads > Orc Caves Oh, wait.

They receive Bene Gesserit training?

Weird Shale glitch: This happened after reloading the epilogue.
