I've got different saves set up differently. My HMN warrior has pretty well stacked. 4-500 gold and a pack full of different high-end weapons and armors from his stash and his companions. But my Dalish rogue only has what he uses, a couple of sentimental items, and about 200 gold. I'll get to spoil my noble, and still have to scrape by with my Dalish elf. As it should be.

I don't usually buy stuff... like someone will just drop it somewhere, I once bought a bow ( can't remember wich ) in the entry odf Orzammar, and then someone dropp one exactly like it inside of that little gangster citty in Orzammar.

[Diogo Gomez]

oooh I forgot, I read somewhereBioware admitid it was too difficult to buy stuff so they were trying to change that in Awakening... Now I don't know if the inions will drop more gold or if the prices of stuff will go down.

I'm trying to decide whether or not it'd be worth it to check out all of the stores before I hit the Archdemon in my next playthrough and buy all the good stuff. You can find good armour and weapons, but I don't think you can really find any good belts and rings compared to what's available in stores.

I think it's going to be worth it. Especially in regards to the jewelry available in stores in Origins.

Even if you'll eventually replace it in Awakening, you're going to have a full party to outfit, and until you do you'll be able to use those Origins items. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of those items still being used at the end of Awakening, even. Like Lifegiver. Amazing ring for a melee character.

What do you mean by inions? If you mean what I think you mean please refrain from making racist comments on the boards.

Lifegiver is great, but I seldom use it. I'm always worried about the "hidden cost" that it mentions.

I dont buy stuff by the way, 1,000g prior to the Landsmeet. no programs, no mods, just 2 official DLCs. on an elf, not a dwarf.

Okay, that's stingy. You realise that unlike most RPGs some of the most effective gear in this game is bought, right? Staff of the Magister Lords, Lifegiver, Ring of Ages, Andruil's blessing, Felon's Coat, the Veshialle. You could have had a lot of pride and satisfaction seeing your crew decked out in all that.

Personally, I think it'd be better to just give your character a fixed starter amount(say, 100 sovereigns, befitting the Warden Commander) rather than importing gold, because the latter makes it unfair for players who were less lucky with money or blew everything on equipment and crafting ingredients before finishing.

But ultimately none of this bothers me so long as the console commands still work!

[Dodco]

How are you supposed to carry all this equipment and money anyhow?



It'd make more sense to put a cap on what you bring over money-wise and then just bring the equipment that your character and Oghren finished the game with.



All my equipment happens to be in a chest in my camp (which is an add-on I suspect won't work in Awakening, much like the Warden's Keep one won't work either -- and I'm fine with that).



Your new NPCs will have their own starting equipment (and maybe even Oghren will too) and there will likely be plenty of opportunities to kit them out.

[Cuthlan]

You don't have to carry it over. Some people want to (like myself). It's better for everyone for you to just limit yourself to what you want and let everyone else bring everything if they want than have it forced that no one can bring over everything.



It's a single player game. If someone wants to have full pre-planned suits for all of the companions and 3000 gold, let 'em. If someone only wants the clothes on their back and enough gold for a beer and a sandwich, let 'em.

This pisses me off quite a bit, honestly. I'd rather get my loot off corpses or heavily-defended chest like a real fantasy adventure hero.

I didn't mind really. Otherwise I'd have a situation like Titan Quest or The Witcher where lategame my character would run around with tons of money but nothing to spend it on. Only thing that annoyed me is outside of DLCs most of the high-level Mage gear(Andruil's blessing, Reaper's Vestments, Staff of the Magister Lords) could only be obtained from shops. Considering how overpriced they were (over 100 gold each) many players would end up having characters like Wynne and Morrigan spend the whole game in thier starter gear.

Doesn't matter. I'm always broke anyway. Sometimes, I manage to buy Lifegiver and the Evon the Great mail before endgame, sometimes I don't. In any case, I never have more than 10 gold left.

I actually like it that money is hard to come by. You have to make choices, and it keep the game about the story and your actions, rather than a quest for high powered loot that's pretty much unnecessary. You can easily play the whole game in found items.

Just pray to the Maker(hint: prayer starts with 'runscript...') like MishenNikara and pretend you found lots of money.

I believe that was a typo for minions. What were YOU thinking of?

[Shade of Wolf]

Oh, I just hope we keep everything. There will probably be a special storage chest in the new game for old gear or something. So in Awakening will the Juggernaut and Dragonbone be basically useless?

Lol at the end of the game I took all my character's good gear and swapped it with lesser gear (Alistair's Dragonbone went to Drakeskin, Morrigan's Robes of Possession to Robe of the Witch lol)

Money was never a problem in my game ( I was an arcane warrior/shapeshifter mage), I basically bought anything with a cool name or anything over 20 gold....Ended up with a full inventory of mostly 100+ gold items. The Magister stuff were a pain to unlock though, useless items as they are.

[Dansayshi]

This worries me. The shop items in origins were bloody rediculous. Now I can buy them right from the start.

Thankfully mages are so strong it doesn't much matter.

The downside of limited mony and expensive 1st-tier equipment is that I never buy anything that isn't 1st-tier from store. I don't buy the 2nd or 3rd best weapon/armor that the stores provide since I know I need to save the money to buy the best ones later.

Reaper's Vestment is overrated.
If I want to be a pure-casting mage, I'll go with spellpower and mana regen.
If I want to be an AW, I will be wearing dragonscale.

"Tank Robe" doesn't make much sense.

Wow @Fycan, you're rich dude. I can never scrape that much money.
In any case, I think I'll stock up before Awakenings so that I can buy the good stuff early.

If my math is correct, I'd guess that if you still want a sizable amount of gold left in your inventory for the future you would have to carry around 4,000 gold. This is simply a guess, but my reasons are:



1. In Origins, purchasing many top of the line gear will require a bit more than 1,000 gold (if you want to completely upgrade your entire party). Anywhere between 2,000-3,000 gold sounds about right from what I had spent.

2. Seeing as weapon and armor tier level are raised, it's logical to believe that the top gear will also cost more, I'd guess they range anywhere from 250-400 gold per piece.

3. If number 2 is correct, this means that even though Awakening will not offer as much variety for top gear as Origins (with it only being an expansion, not a full fledged game), it makes up for it by having a fewer amount of top tier gear, but they cost more because of level requirement and enhancements to your character.



Taking all that into account, I'd say that many of the items in Awakening will cost equally as much as the top tier gear in Origins in the long run, if not just a tad bit more. On average, to fully protect and arm your party, I'd say it should cost around 3,000 gold. To be safe, it's wise to have at least 5,000 gold in your wallet to be fully prepared.
