On one of your characters you have like 4 pre order items equipped, mind me asking where you got them from as i'm assuming you didn't pre-order the game four times lol

I did that more than half a year ago, I can't remember now

Just show us how you defeated the High Dragon in Urn of Ashes on nightmare (if you called her) and at least I will believe you

If you need the video of killing the High Dragon solo on nightmare with AW - you can see them in Youtube, if you need video from me - I can show the video of defeating the Archdemon (I always delete old save, because they consume a lot of disc space, so I have saves only since the beginging of freeing the Denerim).

I've only seen one person claim to have soloed the game on nightmare without potions (Timortis). He never said anything about not having to reload, though. To answer the OP, though, they can do it because they're better (and more driven) than you are.

fiesty, grrrr.

[Capitalsin]

I think it`s very possible, but why would anyone do it? There`s probably gonna be alot of frustrating moments.



I`m playing on nightmare right now (with a team), and there are only a few select parts in the game that give me troubles, the rest is still pretty easy. Think i`m gonna have to try soloing it myself...

[deceptious]

i've rarely used any items in rpgs other than things like health poltices and and lyrium potions. by rarely, i mean like one item that's not health or mana recovery per playthrough. now that i've tried out a few of the salves and bombs and poisons and such, i take back my earlier claims about how soloing is not possible above casual. i also apologize to people who i have offended, especially to those who have actually soloed DA, and me calling bull**** on them.



also please excuse the language i used earlier

Some of the reactions to your post were amusing. Some people get easily butthurt.

Isn't that the point of trolling?

OP is a cheap troll or really naive person, who didn't bother to find one of many solo threads in this forum. I've personally completed dao solo on nightmare by mage, 2h warrior, rogue. And it was fun! Sure there was hard moments, but it only encourage me to find right solution for them. And after i found right tactic i've got a great feeling of satisfaction. This is what for the solo walkthrough is made, its make your head working as opposed to standard full party walkthrough that is a walk in a park on any difficulty.

The question isn't really whether the game can be solo'd. What should be asked is "Why would you want to?" It seems to me that the interactions with the different characters is half the fun of the game. Also, wouldn't limiting your damage output to one guy really drag out some battles? I already spend too much of my life on this game!

I went solo with my 2h human noble champion/zerker on nightmare.

After I had went through the game with a dozen other characters. And like Eurypterid said, it involves a lot of potions, a lot of second (Third, fourth, twentieth) tries, and with great gear and a great build, it is possible.

It was however, a hundred times easier soloing with a mage when I did so

I haven't soloed Awakening yet, because I got the YLoD on my PS3, then my dad tossed the old hard drive and put in a newly bought one, which still didn't fix the problem...

I prefer fighting with a team because it seems so unlikely that one person could be able to stand up to a high dragon or to the half a dozen ogres when you enter the market during the seige of denerim

do you guys really beleive it when people claim they have soloed the game on nightmare etc? i think they're full of ****. even on normal, one on one, one enemy will take out at least a quarter of your life. how is it possible that they take on an entire mob? even if you lure one guy away, you don't recover life since you're still in battle. you can only do that four times before you die.

even if you're a mage, i don't believe you. let's just say you use cone of cold, which isn't even possible to get early on, it freezes enemies for like a second, and then you cast like, the only other primal spell you have, then you're on your weak staff damage that won't do any damage whatsoever.

and for all those people who show soloing boss fights, okay, i can beleive you soloed that boss. but for origins stories and other parts, i call bull**** on you. it's not possible.

before you congrajulate someone for a claim on soloing nightmare, take a minute and think. is it possible?

You are bad. The end.

[Bane of Revenants]

I just started my third play through yesterday on nightmare (first two were normal.) This is with companions though.



I don't see much difference in difficulty. My spells get resisted a little more. Seems like I draw less aggro too.

I've finished broken circle and am getting ready to head to Warden's Keep.

[Fayth18]

My friend did it on nightmare with a rogue. He uses like a bajillion potions and lots and lots of traps but he did it.

[Urn_]

I've been trying to solo on nightmare, but I think it's too hard for no reward so I might just give up on that until I get all of the real trophies

[Chuvvy]

It's just because you're a casual.

[PoisonTheCity]

Pah. I breezed through my Nightmare solo. No poultices, heals, etc. With a naked PC.



She learnt the pc_immortal cheat.

[StormbringerGT]

Im not sure why I would want to solo. Thats not at all how the game was meant to be played. I did manage with a team not nightmare but that was pretty tough for me. I read about over powered Arcane Warrior builds so I avoided them.



While waiting for 2 me and my friend cooked up a little challenge that we are currently slogging through.



We call it Vanilla Nightmare I'll post it up if anyone is interested in it.

i dont call BS>. but they are using a lot of tactics that are basically AI exploits.. the AI isnt all that intelligent that it cant be tricked. things like using high range and picking off one mob member at a time while the rest dont agro you.. or cloaking and hanging out for 5 mins while your health regens back up to continue.



it can be done, but if ya ask me playing this way and duping AI is pretty boring.

In RL, that would be called sniping, and utilizing cover and concealment.

Personally, I do not believe using extreme range shots are explotive; only good use of tactics. Now sneaking into a hot zone with your party on hold, then warping/teleporting them next to you and killing the enemy as they beginj to emerge is questionable (discovered this one by accident while scouting).

I use sniping whenever possible. It's a good tactic. Long range weapons are long range for a reason.

I believe it's possible, absolutely.

What I tend to take with a grain of salt are claims of soloing nightmare without using potions or exploits and no deaths at all.

Ever tried a bloodmage/arcane warrior? I can't speak for console, but on PC it isn't all that hard, especially with the right equipment. The only things that would give me trouble were wolf packs, revenants, and dragons. I never use potions because I feel the instant heal/mana restoration is just stupid. If we'd have lyrium addicition/healing over time I might have used potions. And I don't really care about deaths, reloading is fine by me, but I don't die a lot.

Exploits are lame, the tactic you describe is stupid and takes the fun out of the game.

Taking an opponent down at range when you are unseen is poor tactics? Mending your wounds while hidden is stupid?
