No, you can only have a longsword or a twohanded sword crafted.

sinosleep , yeah im agreeing too, i made this post early, before i realized how little the other weapons feature as well. I had this whole thing where i would dual wield maces and use certain dual wielding skills to use that armor penetration they have to the max, but alas, that's why i made a 2-H warrior, the dual wielding sucks when u cant have two of everything that is awesome. And long swords and daggers do get boring...

What's this about TWO one-handed types of Starfang? The only options I ever get are for a longsword or a greatsword. That's two. What's the other one-hander? There is no dagger option.

It seems you do get awesome Mage Staffs in the game. Ive found two good mage staffs now. Okay, it's not alot, but they are good. One is the one you get in wardens keep, and the other is Wynne's Mage staff. I think i got another good staff while exploring the mage tower, o the castle in redcliffe. But it's all random drop, cause with my first character i never got them. But maces and 1-h Axes, 2-h Axes and Mauls are bloody scarce !

Well, the best two-hander in game is a maul: the Chasind great maul. And there are atleast two very good 1h axes (Aodh, Veshaille). And I think there is one more good one.
I think more top weapons would be overkill

Although I do agree there should be some better maces in the game at the cost of some longswords since there is a silly amount of good longswords.

The best mace in game that I stumbled upon is Vanguard, (+3 Con and Willpower, or Strength, if I remember well), and it's silverite. Really lacking when compared to Keeing or Starfang. So I'd say definently maces are the type of overlooked weapon here.

Hi,

I dont know if im posting this in the correct section, but i think Bioware should've created alot moe weapons for the game, especially long swords. I have'nt really found that many, and those i do find arent really anything special.

There's also not enough Two Handed swords. Recently i downloaded The Edge, wich is a DLC, but it does'nt help my 2-H warrior one bit, neither does it help Alistair with his crappy 1-H. And if i decided to play Sword and shield, what will i be fighting with in the beginning ?

I think they should release a DLC with new 1-H swords and new 2-H swords asap so i can still get them before finishing the game. Wich im trying to postpone as long as possible !


Thank you.


 Have you ever checked out http://gamebanshee.c...AO_Items.id=987 ?? You can search any item or weapon & they usually have a location or way of obtaining them threw a quest. You'll be able to find a lot of good weapons. Swords I guess depends on DLC, I use axes & there are plenty with lots of different looks. As for swords I know there is The Keening, Starfang(DLC), Asturian's Might(DLC), The Green Blade, Top Sider's Honor, Also a few random tier 6 & 7 drops with buffs on them are good. I think there are only 3 really good 2H's but anyways Merry CHristmas & I hope this helps.

The Winter Forge allows you to build pretty much any item you want.


Amen. I used the WF as a good role-playing tool so my warrior could continue to use his family sword and the shield of Highever throughout the game. Every so often I would destroy a couple of runes and a sword or shield of the type of material I wanted to upgrade to as 'components' (so I wouldn't feel like I was cheating) and then upgrade the family sword and shield. Finished the game with both of them made of silverite and the sword was runed up nicely.

Wow you guys are really awesome :-D



Thank you.



I must say i got the Starfang 2-H for my human warrior, and the 1-H for my dual wielding Dwarf, also im wearing the Dragon Plate. The Plate feels a bit like cheating though. I can mostly outlive a fight and kick some serious ass. But then again, i haven't fought that bad ass of enemies yet.



What did the rest of you use to beat the bad bosses in the game ? Armor and weapons ?

Tactics. It's all about tactics. At first I thought you couldn't play through this game without a powerful mage but I have since discovered you can beat the game just about single handed if you do the proper character build, use the proper buffs, weapons, skills, talents, etc.

I beat the high dragon with three warriors and a rogue using nothing but longbows and warmth balms. Spread them out, hold them, and start shooting. The Dragon is all about whipping you in close, so when it zeroes in on one character have it lead the dragon (or Branka, or any other boss) on a merry chase while your other three keep sniping with the bows. The dragon (or other bosses) can't be everywhere at once, especially if you kill off their easier minions first. Think of all the times in the game those pesky archers ruin your day. You can return the favor.

Other tactics work as well. Make all your characters grenade=enabled and the you'll see a whole lot of options for wiping out large groups.

In my opinion, there is only Spellweaver. All others are superfluous. :P

How does one even play an Arcane Warrior? Do you just dump points in strength and wear dragon armor plate wielding a 1-h sword and shield while flinging magic missiles ?

I think there are plenty of swords. I wish there was more variety of weapons. Like spears, or halbreds.

It's funny I noticed that Dragon Age Journeys has almost more weapons than DA:O. I remember there were quite useful maces in DA:J, but they were completely neglected in DA:O.

Arcane Warriors use their magic skill in place of strength for determing if they can use strength requirement armor and weapons.
