First time fighting the rotating head thing too, attacked all of the spirits.


Yep, me too. In fact, I only just yesterday (2nd playthrough) figured out that the Enraged Sprits won't attack unless they're summoned right next to your party or your party is dumb enough to run past one.

First play through I let Morrigan spam AOE Element spells all the time without knowledge of how aggro in this game works, so she got shredded like tissue paper when enemies swarmed her. I ignored her pleas for help even though she was my LI in that game.



I also did not know backstabs existed until I got to the LM on my first character who was a rogue. That character ended up more of a warrior with lockpicking skills and stealth.

First time with a mage, doing a solo through the Tower (thought I was invincible). Ran through a set of doors into a room. Turns out there were like 12 possessed Templars behind it and each one knew Holy Smite. Daylen went down hard.

Oooh, that sounds seriously ugly. And messy.

Heh, that happened to me with my "invincible" Arcane Warrior that could just tank almost everything. Openned the door: stunned, dead. Whaaa...??? That was hillarious.

I got Wynne last in my last playthrough (at level 16 or 18), and all of her skill points were auto assigned to combat tactics. What a waste:crying:.

Oops? :)

I usually for Wynne first simply because I'm usually playing a rogue and I can't see Morrigan taking up the healing slack.

euh, in the fade... I always keep forgetting to switch to human torch when the room fills up with fire.


Haha, yeah. . .I didn't forget to do that (actually once I get the Burning Man morph I rarely leave it unless I have to), but it took me a while to figure out how the Fade exercise is supposed to work. Anyone who's played Summoner 2 before will know that there's a spot in that game where the main character finds herself transported to an alternate universe where all of her companions are trapped by various devices and she must rescue them all by herself. My first playthrough of DA:O came right on the heels of my finishing a playthrough of Summoner 2, so when I found myself in the Fade, I was like "Oh, okay, I'm in familiar territory here. I know what to do." What I didn't know, of course, were the fundamental differences between the two situations, which are (1) that in Summoner 2, each node of the weird parallel universe represents a companion that she has to save; and (2) that it makes no difference which nodes she travels to and in which order. So since my PC in DA:O was a Dwarf --no Lyrium Veins for her-- and since she entered the main Fade with something like 3 Health Poultices and a Lesser Health Poultice to her name, her first idea was to rescue Wynne, in the hopes that Wynne would then tag along and provide some healing. Her first puzzle, then, was where to find Wynne, and she thought the names of the nodes would give her a clue. So her first stop after the Raw Fade was --you guessed it-- Mages Asunder.

Yeah. That was a short trip. . .

I didn't bring any ranged characters or rogues to the archdemon. When he flew away it took a loooong time for my mage to whittle it down with the basic attack and arcane bolt.




There are ballistas scattered about the final arena. You can use those to take pretty good chunks out of the Archdemon's health when he's on his "lol, you can't get me" platform.



My "uh durr" moment was, in my first playthrough, not realizing that I could talk to my party members and learn things about them and win their approval or suffer their disapproval. I was quite delighted to discover this on my second playthrough, "Wow! I can talk to Alistair and ask him stuff!"

My second character romanced Morrigan did the Dark Ritual yada yada. Well at Coronation I picked my boon and announced I was going to look for Morrigan. Well I began to say my farewells and such. I got to Leliana was talking to her. "Conquering Hero.. etc" then I replied "but does he get the girl?" I was implying Morrigan not herself. To say the least I had a big facepalm when my epilogue slide told me I stayed in Denerim with my love Leliana.

*hugs* If it's any consolation I one time made the mistake of clicking on the dialoge option about Leliana getting the wrong idea about my character. She stopped talking to me, I didn't realize it, and thought "Wow, they didn't really develop her much, did they?"

Then I realized, no I just offended her enough to stop talking to me.

My first playthrough I didn't know you could talk anyone post coronation, and ran straight back to the doors and left. Missed Fergus and everything. I didn't even know he showed up alive until I read it on the forums.

He broke the ballistas. Since I had no rogue I couldn't repair them.

Didn't have either in my first game, I was only investing in the "cool" fire spells.

And then of course, I get effed by curse of mortality.
How much I love it.

if i knew how to upload screenshots from my DA album i would show you something funny that made me funny and facepalm.

other than that the thing i truly facepalmed at was fighting the spirit anvil thing at the anvil of the void, took me 45 minutes to realise how to kill it.

Didn't take a single fire spell with my first. I just had electricity and odd stuff. Paralyze and crushing prison, how I love thee.

Didn't even find out what curse of mortality was until my second or third playthrough. All I knew is my characters suddenly couldn't heal and were losing hp fast.

First time playing, I put talents in two handed weapons for a dual-wielding elf because I thought they were the same. I also didn't know that you could harden alistair and get him to marry Anora until the second playthrough. And I didn't bring a rogue to fight the archdemon:blush:

I've never encountered a broken ballista before. My Wardens have always been able to use the ballistas no matter their class. Very strange...:blush:

I had the opposite experience. I've only finished 1 playthrough so far (running my 2nd and 3rd simultaneously) but my PC in that one was a Rogue and she could never fix the Ballistas. She was able to fire them about 4 or 5 times maximum and then they jammed, and nothing she could do would un-jam them. I thought that they were designed that way on purpose so that people didn't just camp out by the Ballistas and beat the Archdemon that way. In any case I quickly realized that I was wasting my time trying to fix the Ballistas and once the Darkspawn hordes showed up, I had to abandon them or get pummelled to death in a hurry.

The ballistas can break after being used, so if that happens you need a rogue to repair them. :) I think the breakage might be random.

Breakage is random, and you right click to repair the ballista on the PC, need to use your lockpick skill to repair them.

Perhaps they don't have ballista breakage on the PS3 as I once killed the archdemon using nothing but the ballistas and I was never required to repair them.

Edit: Never mind. I see a fellow PS3 player experienced ballista breakage. Maybe the non-breakage was a glitch? Or I was just lucky...?

I'd call it luck, though for your sake I hope your PS3 feels just as generous in the future. :)
