alright about to play dragon age for the first time and i want hints tips etc
.
what stats should i put stuff in for the different classes?
Strenght for warriors. Dexterity to met requirements for Dual Weapon and Shield talents unless you want to be an unhittable tank...then just pump dex and use a shield and dagger and just get enough str for the armor of your choice.
Rogues should focus on dex and cunning imo. Either max out one of those or a mix of the 2 and with enough strength for the best light armor (22). Some go for more to get heavier armor but I've never seen the point as you should get all the attention anyway.
Mages should focus on magic, but also a little willpower. I have my mages somewhere between 20 and 30 willpower without bonusses.

yep, but you REALLY have to make an effort for that to happen...or make a certain choice in one of the quests.

Depends on your playstyle. Combat training is of course the best and coercion is good if you want to actually be able to persuade anyone. 1 point in poison will make you able to use poison couting and throw grenades which is nice, stealing will give you a little ekstra cash and unlock a quest...survival is not that good imo...it gives you some nature resistance, but I do not really like how the enemies show up further away on the radar and I never really use the tactics points....well unless I have a healer who can use one or two. I never ever make traps.
