So after a two year hiatus I am replaying all the DA games to get ready for DAI. I've not only been playing origins and genders I didn't get around to finishing before, but I've found a few things that I missed the first several times through. For instance:

In Origins:

--Secret rooms in the upper level Brecilian Ruins (looking for those stupid love letters!)

--There are more jobs to do for "D" and "K" than just the first ones offered by the bartender

--Slim Couldry quest-lines if you have stealth and/or stealing capabilities the first time you enter Denerim (did the former, not the latter yet)


In Awakening:

--Side with smugglers (always sided with guards before) and release archer Jacen from prison to help defend the keep

--There are more quests for the blight orphans than just giving them money

--You can kill Liza Paxton (sp?) at Stark's farm, then head back to the keep and side against her in the civil dispute with the other guy (yes, it's a bug but still funny....and she does kind of look like a zombie )


What quests/options/etc. did it take you forever to find?

That blacksmith's missing daughter in Redcliffe. Finally found her on my 3rd playthrough, and that was the one where I didn't help defend the place. So I've still never been able to turn that quest in.

Until my last full playthrough I missed Leliana's and Wynne's personal quests which include additional 'random' encounters, because apparently you have to talk them in camp but I never go there. One time I even got a surprise visit by some shrieks. I guess I have to go to camp more often...

Never got Slim's Crime Wave quest line either. Will have to wiki that one sometime.

There are quite a few doors that are locked until the enemies guarding them are dead, but that some of them can actually be unlocked by a rogue with sufficient skill. You can unlock them before killing the guardians if you want extra XP, or you can just sneak past the enemy.

The ones in the Dalish Elf origin seem bugged though. The door guarded by two spiders as you first enter the ruins is DC 20 but at that time it is impossible to unlock anything higher than DC 19 (cunning 14 base + all 5 creation points, plus Deft Hands). Human rogues could do it at level one but of course they don't get to be there at all. The Bereskarn/Duncan door is DC 40 both times you visit the ruins but an elven rogue would have to be at least level 5 to beat that without +cunning items or tomes. Anyway, not all such doors are b0rked, and they can open up new tactics/strategies.

Never found out what the armies you gather are good for. I always make a mental note to call them up but I always forget because I have my hands full dealing with Archi while trying to keep silly buggers like Irving and Arl Eamon alive. It's always 'just let me get the situation stabilised, then we'll call one of the armies to see what happens' but Archi has a knack for keeping you busy.

I missed Sten and Leliana quests until about my third or fourth play-through.
I finally found the Chasind Stash via Trail Signs in the Korcari wilds in a later play-through.

I discovered that using the various ballistae and basically ignoring everything else is the quick way to get Archi's health down. Plus, the game doesn't crash like it does if I use the mages.

- In Haven you can break into a house, or go into the backroom at the store and discover the village's dirty secret before you even head up to the temple.

- The dragon in Orzammar palace.

- The Exotic Methods quest in Orzammar (making an antidote for the poisoned lady in the Royal Palace).

I've never yet found all the love letters. Not sure I'll ever take the time to get them all.

Found another one in Golems of Amgarrak. I always randomly guessed the sequence to open the red door to the forge (and usually guessed wrong multiple times) only to discover the code on the body of Darion! I'd never found his body before so that was a really nice surprise. Now if I could only figure out how kill the stupid harvester on hard level......

[sylvanaerie]

I still haven't figured out what to do in that poisoning quest in Orzammar. Haven't ever bothered with it much.

Haven't done all the K and D (etc) quests.

Only released Jowan on my last full playthrough a few months ago, and his quest was bugged (yes, I know there is a fix on Nexus for it, but didn't care to DL and install it).

I just recently found out you could hit on Duncan as a female HN. It's probably the funniest thing I've ever seen regarding him ever besides the fact that you could threaten to beat his ass in the city elf origin

Used the mod to have a high chance of getting the rare random encounters so I could see the zombie kitten army.

I still have yet to fight Cauthrien, since all of my characters thus far never saw the point in it, really.

Still haven't done the love letters quest (it's just stupid to me)

Not doing the love letter quest sounds odd to me as you pretty much have to visit all the relevant locations anyway.

[DarthGizka]

You have to visit all map locations where letters are stashed, but you don't have to visit all the areas within those locations (i.e. houses, rooms) where the letters are actually hidden; and you certainly don't have to root around in other people's belongings right under their noses. All that is required if you want to collect all the letters.

In NWN this would have counted as stealing and your alignment would have shifted towards 'chaotic'.

I like cussing him out in the Dalish origin.
I have yet to NOT fight Cauthrien, I hate her. Also, the Summer Sword is sweet.

I just denied Oghren's request to join the Wardens in DA:A for the first time. It was satisfying, as Oghren grates on my nerves after awhile, but also makes sense for a warden that has high friendship value with him. Oghren's got a new kid, new wife, and good prospects. Too much to throw away for no reason.

I also saved the anvil for the first time this playthrough, and the golem squad was *amazing* during the denerim siege.
