Deleting her though (female dwarf rogue) because I did the 'violent'
voice and got tired of "should I get you a ladder so you can GET OFF MY
BACK" every 30 seconds, gah..


Yeah, Bioware should legally be forced to print some "voical advisory" on the box, saying that this game provides audio content that can drive you up the wall. I don´t know what it sounds like in the English version, in German it´s not only the phrase, that puts you on berserk mode, the voice itself is a horror. Now I understand in the real world, what the war cry talent is ment to be in the game.

i was just wondering if anyone has tried a solo run with an arcane warrior and perhaps spirit healer/blood mage? .



Arcane Warrior was probably the first spec to solo mage with for its protection and melee capabilities. Timortis mentioned somewhere trying SH/BM until level 20 (before saving Anora) iirc and his notes (found not in this thread but elsewhere on this forum) on it are from my experience right on the spot.

Slowly trying BM/SS NM solo atm and doing Orzammar at level 12/13 was almost frustrating at times, at least with my spell picks. First, I had to reload on the final fight in Proving (Piotin) more times than I would like, then .. Jarvia. Would not want to go through that again.

Spell picks:

Cone of Cold
Glyph of Repulsion
Mana Clash
Animate Dead
Force Field
Vulnerability Hex
Drain Life

The only expensive/bought item at this point: Staff of Magister Lord

FF Jarvia, Paralyze Carta Assassin, Glyph of Repulsion on the stairs, running through the trap on top of stairs praying not to be killed before getting up after the trap triggered, then running to back room on right hiding behind door in corner then killing Jarvia, Animate Dead ..

So far I am lead to believe that with enough patience, pots, knowledge, luck and creativity "anything" is doable in this game.

You'll get it at the end of the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest if you side with the cult leader, Kolgrim, and pour blood into the Urn.

What are some really challenging solo builds? Arcane Warrior is OP and a pure caster isn't that difficult.
We've already seen a two-handed warrior, a DW rogue and a DW warrior. What about a rogue archer? That would be very, very difficult and requires lots of kiting (which is boring IMO).

What about a monk who uses his fists to attack :P. Perhaps it's possible with a party of four warriors (heavy armor + fist fighting) to beat the game (on easy XD).

Or you could do a solo run with two weapon styles. A Warrior who uses a sword&shield as well as a bow. Or a Rogue who uses two axes and a two-handed sword.

Sorry if you answered this in a previous post but... how long did it take?



Amazing work btw.

Try to win naked (with the textures that removes clothing), with any class / specialization? As a mage it is probably possible to win barehanded (though that doesn't really count).

Anybody with experience equal to Timortis' could easily play a naked mage, I suppose. With potions as they are (unlimited) buffs would cover everything.
A naked warrior? I'd say that's impossible.
A rogue? Possible, although not in the early levels. I saw videos of naked rogues taking out whole rooms, but they were in their teens, with a defense score high enough not to bother with armor.

If you really want a challenging solo build for this game, trying going as a shapeshifter solo on nightmare mode this was a lot of auto attacking and boss fights where a challenge but fun.

For those asking about SH/BM or other variations of caster solo specs, you can look at my spell selection on this SS of me killing Cauthrien. With my SH/BM, I basically ended up taking SH for only the stat boosts, because I didn't have enough spells to take Group Heal or anything else. I took BM up to Blood Wound, and while that is a very nice spell, it does feel a bit cumbersome to use because you have to turn on Blood Magic first, and I was doing fine before I got it at level 18 without using any Blood Magic at all. So I think you could potentially go with any Mage spec and do fine, spell selection matters far more than the specialization in my experience, YMMV.

When I played my shapeshifter i didn't use spells, played it more like a druid tank in wow, changed into bear form and played the game that way.

I cleared the Alienage, and killed the High Dragon. I'm uploading a few shots of the progress of the dragon fight, so people can see how many potions I used etc. I don't think it was too many for this fight for this kind of character but anyway.

Welcome back Timortis!
My DW Warrior is still in Orzammar (completed: Urn of Sacred Ashes, Mages Tower and some sidequests in Denerim).
I was getting bored of soloing so I created a new character who romanced Leliana and I beat the game today.
Now I'm thinking of creating another Arcane Warrior (solo run), perhaps with the Nightmare Plus mod.
Anyway, you're making progress really fast. Do you have so much free time? I can barely play 1-2 hours a day :blink:.

Would doing a nightmare run on x box be easier or harder with a warrior?

My disc is a little damaged so i encounter quite a few glitches

Also i tried soloing dwarf noble i can not get past the mob of tomb thieves for the life of me alone.Too many of them and i barley have health potions after the alpha genlock.

Here's my dwarf tank soloing Gaxkang at level 16
Posted Image

I also made a little youtube video of it. It isn't terribly exciting. Just my tank slowly beating Gaxkang down.

Incredible survivability but doesn't it take very long to kill things? Don't you get bored? You don't have any AoE either.:blink:

Ah, solo runs. Fun stuff. I actually just finished my DW War run at 13 hours ago. I'm thinking of re-starting an archery rogue run (Ranger/Bard or Bard/Duelist) sometime soon, maybe after I complete my AW run - which is pretty repetitive, IMO.
