I prefer the No Follower Autolevel mod (http://www.dragonage...s/file.php?id=4)

No at-will respecs (you gotta live with your choices), but you can build followers the way you want.
You can even build them way off their 'intended' thing, but I rarely do that. I just want to not be penalized for doing things in a certain order. (and am on my 5th playthrough now, so I think I'm allowed to )

Thanks!  

I prefer me or Lel as rogue.  Because I can control the spec early and I can't play without lockpicking.  Can't.  Tried.  Hate it.  Chests are...taunting me...TAUNTING. 

I have tried warrior twice and I just can't really get the point of having yet...another warrior.  If I wanna play a warrior I'll just use Alistair as the main character and say "Ooh, look at me, I'm already a templar at level two.  Beat that."

So this is about my fifth complete playthrough, and three of those previous were as rogues.  I tried two other warrior chars and origins that just got to a certain point and said "meh" and also only finished once as a mage.  I had an evil mage do okay and did all my dirty work unlocking until he discovered, wiping out the dalish made all the elfroot go away.  I think he slipped out of camp after robbing Bodahn and headed for Antiva.  He was fun but alas, not Ferelden's greatest hope for salvation.  Bit of a bastard, really.

So next time I'm going to try Leliana and three mages.

But I would like the chance to respec Morrigan and Lel as I choose, because shapeshifter to me is just a funny looking warrior and Lel's gonna be on the bow anyway.  Friendly fire bugs the hell out of me.  I get annoyed at slogging through Ostagar and not being able to open anything, and then getting to Lel and basically wherever she goes for the next several levels, she can't open anything either.  "That's your job, that's your ONLY job...geeez."

Poor Oghren. He's suffering during my playthrough here because Wynne as a dual spec Arcane Warrior and Spirit Healer is out tanking him, out damaging him, and clearly out healing him.

Poor bastard. If he didn't HAVE to come along with me, he'd be in camp right next to Zevran in the "I'm not playing you until I get to reassign all your spec points" protest lineup.

I won't really go to Orzammar until someone can wear the Legionnaire's armor, and this time through, it's Wynne.

She's starting to slur her words and hiccup blue bubbles though. It's a shame I'm turning her into a lyrium addict and her brains are slowly bubbling out her ears, but...oh well. Sacrifices, right?

Does the Legionnaire's armor do something?  I don't see the point of putting it on a mage, tho, unless you want them constantly meleeing. Arcane Warrior was kind of a let down for me; I played mage the same way after getting as I did before. I mean, if I wanted another warrior I would've rolled another warrior. Trick is, though, I actually had the armor to survive when I started aoe'ing without regard for personal safety. (easy mode, Because otherwise mages are more dangerous to your party than the enemies.) (Well, me on a mage, at any rate).

WTB online co-op play. It'd be fun to wipe every party I get into, and not have to direct the other 3 ppl every few seconds.

You have to have a character wear the full set in order to summon the Gangue Shade in the room with the Legionnaire key/altar.  I think finding the full set also enables the end of another quest.  I usually leave one or another piece behind.  I'll probably put it on Alistair and have him look pretty in it, because Wynne's getting the Juggernaut this time around. 

I haven't actually done this yet as I've left bits of the armor behind due to inexpert exploration and/or not having someone who can wear armor at strength 42.  I was gonna do it last time, but...I...well, I didn't.  This time I'm taking the "no stone unturned" approach and running EVERYWHERE and looting EVERYTHING.  I even finished Asunder.  Which had unfortunate "OMG, Fade Beast Butt!" issues for a backstabbing rogue.  Bad purple spiky memories.

I prefer Juggernaut, but I just wanna finish the quest without getting there yet again and blowing it off for it being too much hassle.

[Soepkommetje]

Online co-op play eh?



I can just see it happening...



Of course we wouldn't get anything done for months, because we'd be too busy cracking witty oneliners, impersonating other followers, fighting over Alistair, and reloading every battle because after a quite lengthy strategy discussion everyone runs off in a random direction using the worst possible abilities at the worst possible times. After the thoughtless charging in of everyone but the tank, that is.

I didn't know you could actually fight that thing when I read about it in the codex. Blah. Now I'll have to go back, I guess. In a few more levels. I did manage to pick up everything though; just make sure you hit every possible sarcophagus. It is pretty much spread throughout the entire place, tho.

Fighting the Broodmother at lvl 12, even on easy mode, was just plain not fun. I'm out of potions. And materials, for that matter. I survived mainly by luck, accidentally teaching Morrigan Tempest just before we got there. And by the power of aoe-immunity, via easy mode. PC died, like, 15s into the fight. The Broodmother hugged me >_<

[GoldenusG]

Me: Right... Lothering... Great. Alright lads and lasses, put your feet up.



Alistair: Oh? Are we stopping for the night? I'll just go in the Chant...



Me: NO! No-one is going in the chantry till the Maker puts my bloody boots in that bloody cupboard.



Alistair: Till the maker does what?



Me: My ancient elfy trainers. I want them.



Alistair: Riiight. The maker - the Creator of this World and all thats in it, the protector of us all. The one true light in this dark world, stole your shoes and you refuse to go SAVE THE WORLD till he gives them back?



Me: By George, I think he's got it. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the pub.

Heh, I still haven't gotten the 75% complete achievement.  First time through I forgot to HAND IN most of the quests in my lurch toward the end.

Second time I was just satisfying curiosity about plot and exporation sucked.

Third and fourth time were on the PC and I hadn't discovered the "TAB" function and ****ed constantly about having to "mouseover" everything to find everything, and missed...everything.

Fifth I'm determined to go slow, catch everything, and finish every side quest I can until that damned achievement unlocks.

*on the Bridge*



Me: Who is a dead Forgemaster?

Oghren: He's a dead Forgemaster!

Me: Is it he? Is that a he? Are there girl Darkspawn?

Oghren: *turns green*

Me: Okay, celebrating and not thinking about girl darkspawn with the spew factor.

Wynne: I Am Invincible!



*turns the corner and gets pounded by shrieks...everyone falls except Wynne, who finishes off five of them herself. Solo. Pausing in the middle of battle to brew some potions*



Wynne: YEEEES!



*everyone else, standing up slowly*



Wynne: Cleansing Aura!

Oghren: You're mad with power, woman.

Me: And I can tell you're attracted to that.

Wynne: That's right! Who's got saggy bits now? WHO?

Shale: The scary mage does not.

Wynne: That's RIGHT. *marches forward while the rest hang back*

Me: I've created a monster.

Wynne: THERE IS STUFF TO KILL.

Me: She is now the Blue Hulk.

Oghren: If she doesn't like saggy, I'm pretty sure she won't like being called fat.

Me: HULK. Blue Hulk.

Wynne: STUFF TO KILL.

Me: Coming!

Oh that's the best one yet. Had me in fits of laughter.

Just a quick  info:  Arcane Warrior. It's the mad hermit in Brecilian, yes? I assume unlocking specialisation from is by killing the Golden oak Ent?

[Servant of Nature]

OMG. I have a headache from laughing so much and so hard. Recidiva, I worship you, my dear. Truly you have a talent. Friggin' amazing.

No, Arcane Warrior is in the Ruins on the way down to The Lady.  You find a gem with a spirit trapped inside and make a deal for it to teach you the skill.  I haven't played around with it until now, but Wynne is out of control.  We just burned through 600 potions getting to the Broodmother JUST FROM ORTAN THAIG and had to go get more.

I did kill the Oak.  Got nothing for it.  Bummer. Not even wood.  When you kill the Oak then you have to make a deal with the Hermit to let you in through the forest.  I go get all evil and I kill all these people and spirits and the got nothin' for me?  What the hell!

But Wynne in plate It's a change and it's just funny as hell.  Oh no, I have to say it.  Wynne For the WIn! 

Next game I'm going to use that mod to make three arcane mages/spirit healers and Zevran.  Poor bastard.  I'll have to play a guy and seduce him to make him feel at home.

Yaaaaay!  Thank you.

Silliness R Me.

[Servant of Nature]

I shall try and contribute now, these two things are expanded off what I was thinking during my first playthrough, while romancing Alistair.


Alistair:  *hands PC a rose* Do you know what this is?
Me:  Oh, Maker, no.
Alistair:  What?!
Me:  You're related to Anomen somehow, aren't you? 
Alistair: Who?  I just--
Me:  I swear if you start boasting about how unbelievably awesome you are, I will slap you, hard, with a MACE.
Alistair:  I don't--
Me:  Better yet, I will rip Keldorn from BG2, put him into the game, just so he can put your whiny ass in place, you hear me?!
Alistair: ...
Me:  Hmm, maybe I can make a Keldorn romance mod here... I won't meet all that resistance... "He's a paladin, he's married, he's old enough to be your PC's FATHER!" Pfff...
Alistair:  *backs away slowly*
Me:  Oh, no you don't.
Alistair:  *flees*
Me:  YOU CAN'T HIDE!  You're the MALE LEAD in a BIOWARE game, fool!  You're one plot sequence away from my tent!
Alistair: DEAR MAKER NO!



Me:  *sighs*
Alistair:  What's wrong?
Me:  Just tell me, all right?  I'm tired of waiting for it.
Alistair:  Tell you what?  That I think you're cuuute?
Me:  Dammit, stop pretending, WHO IS SHE?!
Alistair:  Wh-what?  Who is who?
Me:  C'mon.  Dead lover's name.  Tell me how much I remind you of her.
Alistair: Uhm...  This... this is getting creepy.
Me:  Wife?  Kid?  Sister?  I KNOW THERE'S SOMEONE!
Alistair:  Maker's breath, woman!  I was raised in a chantry.  I'm a virgin.  Remember the whole lamppost talk?
Me:  *glares*  They always find a way...
Alistair:  Well... I do have a sister...
Me:  *twitches*
Alistair:  Normally I would say how much alike you are just to tease you but, you know that little voice in your head, that tries to keep you from doing stupid stuff, that I... tend to ignore?  Yeah, it's yelling at me... so.. I'm just going to pat you on your head and run away, now.
Me:  *sob*

Not as funny as some, but I had a hard time not thinking this during my first run through DA.

[Recidiva]

Oh, poor, poor Alistair.

He's...just...so much fun...to..mess with...

But no, I made the poor guy kill himself three times. DESPITE me EXPRESSLY TELLING HIM NOT TO.  Over...and over again...I'm going to FIX that.

Hulk Wynne and I are going to fix that! *holds up a carrot and faces toward Tara and the sunset and says "As Andraste is my witness, Alistair will never be hungry again!"

Or something like that.

Hmm. I've been through those ruins top to bottom without finding a gem with a spirit trapped inside. Think that'll be my next destination after  Orzammar.

Ugh, don't get me started on that..  You have to leave him at the gates if you don't want him to kamikazi the archdemon, if you're in love with him, stupid oaf made me sob like a little girl.

Yeah, that's actually why I came to these forums.  To ask if it was possiible.  I just kept replaying and replaying with higher cunning.  I became deeply disturbed over the issue of the fact that I couldn't make a sacrifice because I was a girl.  If I could just...find the right words...

My husband assures me there aren't any.  I think Bioware should provide me with the "Fine, clock Alistair one and drag him behind the Ballista" patch.  But I'll settle for the gate thing.

And now I know if my husband and I really do have to kill an archdemon between us, I need to sneak up on him and clock him one.  Good to know.  No!  ME DIE!  MEEEEE!  But now he's forewarned and a lot damned smarter and stronger than Alistair.  And funnier.  And has a better voice. So I'm on my guard. 

Oh well, being that kind of doomed isn't so bad.

Recidiva you really do need an award or some in-game goodies ^^. Ah I haven't laughed this hard in a long, long time. *Wipes away tears*

Yay!  Thank you.

I'm glad I'm just not antagonizing EVERYONE with my silly rambling.  It's nice to be appreciated

[Cynistr]

And the game itself has some moments that you can't help but crack up at as well, like Leliana and Shales conversations while running around. My favorite being:

Shale: Why does the bard stare at me so?
Leliana: I was thinking about writing a song about you. "The Statue with the Heart of Gold"... or something like that.
Shale: It thinks my heart is made of gold? It is stone, as anything else. Cold stone.
Leliana: I meant that you had... a good heart. It seems to be that you do.
Shale: And they call this having a "heart of gold?" Why?
Leliana: Uh... because gold is precious and shiny and... a good heart is just as valuable?
Shale: Shiny.
Leliana: In a manner of speaking.
Shale: My heart does not qualify as shiny. I kill. Frequently, and not without pleasure.
Leliana: You had a difficult life. Deep down, at the center of your being, you are a good person. I believe that.
Shale: Even though I have never demonstrated this aspect? How peculiar.
Leliana: You aren't all stone, Shale. There is a person inside of you.
Shale: If so, it is because I ate him.

*Edited to correct some typos*

I remember screaming at my monitor trying to get my poor little elf to bullrush tackle Alistair.  Seriously.  Seduce him into one last kiss, grab his sword, and run before he knows what hit him, or smack him in the head.  It's perfect, minus the whole.. dying thing.

Yes!  I don't think it's too much to ask. And they were doing SO WELL up until that moment.

Make it even worse, in that version, Cullen goes crazy and snaps and kills people and dies himself.

Oh great.  I was the death of my two favorite characters in the game.  Because they LOVED me.  Now that's just wonderful.  Well, aren't I just SPECIAL.

There was lots of swearing.  And then crying.  And then some more swearing.  And then alarm as it made perfect sense to every other male.  And then more swearing.

So it's a toss up between wildly romantic, sexist and me having massive control issues and a death wish.

To prove my obsession I refought the final battle about 25 times and went through every discussion option and sequence.  No, there really is no way.  Damn!
