That takes forever to update. It has my character where he was on Friday.

Mine seems to be updating a lot faster than that. Usually a few minutes behind where I am. The weird thing is that it keeps bringing back a character I deleted days ago. Doesn't even exist on my pc, deleted all the files and everything, but he keeps popping up there every day, and then I delete him on the site, and then he's there the next day. But it's got my guy at level 11 and in the Blood Dragon Armor now, which is right where he is.

Those using the PC version might want to use this semi-official hotfix.

http://dragonage.gulbsoft.org/doku.p...ity_hotfix_101

It makes archery more effective, and fixes a bug that made DEX not give damage bonuses when using daggers.

Also note...

\\Installing this hotfix will cause a steep increase in difficulty by almost a full level for any encounters that include multiple archers. If you are having trouble with easy or normal difficulty, stay away from this hotfix until we have updated it to offset these effects.

I downloaded and played through it - it was worth it, IMO. Interesting storyline. You come out of it with a pretty kick ass suit of armor for one of your fighters, and afterward there are merchants there with good rates/items and a storage locker for party stuff.

Word of warning, though - make sure you have a rogue with you with level 4 lockpicking ability. There is one chest you can't open without it, and after you leave initially, when you return you cannot reenter the building it's located in.

just got my ass kicked by a bunch of huge honkin spiders.

btw anyone know if there's some way to get out of the spider web trap thingie?

600 points, IIRC.

Mr. Laz · 11-09-2009, 07:01 PM

If you get the DLC stuff do you have to start your character over?

I downloaded the quest for Shale after reading about it here. I didn't have to start over. It just added it to my list.

No, any items/quests will just be added to your current game.

I was so glad to get that chest last night. Talk about a life saver. I'm walking around with 110 bag slots (I think 120 is the limit, read that somewhere, so I've got to find one more pack) and was lucky if I could free up 30 or 40 of those before heading into a dungeon. I hate having to decide what to destroy when I loot something good.

I'm curious to see just how high level I'll be able to get. I'm a half a bar from level 12, and I'm told I've only explored 25% of the world and finished 21% of the game in my character log. That's through Ostagar, Lothering, the Brecilian Forest, the Mage Tower and the Warden's Keep. So that's leaves the golem dlc, Redcliffe, Orzammar and Denerim on the map and then whatever optional or quest-related areas unlock. It looks like I'm closer to halfway finished, map-wise, and I was under the impression that 20-22 is about as high as you'd get by the end. But maybe not. We'll see.

Taken me 35 hours to get this far, on Nightmare level, and doing everything I could find quest-wise.

Basileus777 · 11-09-2009, 08:27 PM

I'm at 38% and I'm not done yet. I'm pretty sure that it is tied to achievements, because it went up after I completed some other origins.
