It takes me one playthrough to find out being mildly greedy won't have any serious consequence.

I try to be a goody-two-shoes and decline the reward. As a result I have got nothing for return.

Darn that snake oil dealer! I didn't even persuade him into giving 2 G for resquing him the first couple of times. One thing is that you might want to temporarily sell stuff to him the first time you see them due to the inventory size, just to notice, they're gone the next time.

Methinks, he gives a discount at least compared to his prizes later in the game. I don't know, if it's related to finding out his backstory (needs coercion 2, I think).


Nice way to lose the Blood Dragon armour you were so happy you downloaded.

Playing a AW now and figured out a couple things:

> Mages can queue up their spells by hitting one hotkey after another (ie 2=Cold, 3=StoneFist, 4=Lightning); I press 2-3-4 successively and all 3 spells are cast one after another without pause. Faster than they can swing a sword.
> AW can cast spells before drawing their sword animation kicks in. Usually, I cast Fireball then follow in with swords drawn.


Can anybody else confirm this?  I normally cast my spells by click casting on the bar rather than using the hotkeys but any time I click more than one spell it just overrides which one I'm about to cast...it doesn't queue them.  To clarify....I pause the game, then select spell X.  If I then select spell Y, it gets cast *instead* of spell X rather than queueing it up to be cast after spell X.  Does queueing only work with hotkeys?  Does it only work when not paused?

My doh! moment was discovering near the end of my 1st play-through that runes could be swapped in and out!! I had assumed, once placed, they were permanent.............



Tab key and Boghdan I knew early on, did not know about leveling in camp.... doh!

Sorry, my bad - ought to clarify.  You have to un-pause the game.  While the casting animation is going on for one spell, you can activate the next spell and while that spell is animating, you can click on another spell.  Each spell will launch successively, one after another without pause - provided you have the mana, of course.  Posted Image

That you could order your tactics... took me one playthrough to realize that. :lol:

Ok, gotcha.  That makes sense and is consistant with what I've seen too.  Posted Image

It took me a few play throughs before I realized I didn't have to deal with the money grubbing Chantry matron to get Sten. Boy did I feel stupid when I finally tried to just unlock the cage and it worked.


D'Oh!  I always have to use Leli to convince matron...

Another one for me was that you didn't have to pay for the manuals of specialisation (i.e. shadow, battlemage, legion scout etc). Just save the game, buy the manual for 12g from the vendor, it will unlock the specialisation. Reload the game to restore the 12g you spent and the specialisation remains unlocked. I lost a lot of gold before I figured this out.



Cheers,



Koth

Apparently there's a little icon on the top right thats not another city...



No, it's camp. Go figure.



I didn't realize this until halfway through my first playthrough. With some of the other mistakes (aka missing Leliana and Sten) I just said forget it and started all over again.

The fact that if you don't have a high enough rep with Zev he'll turn on you when you run into the crows. He was my only lockpick rogue too :(

The fact that different types of poisons stack, or at least the damage from them does (don't know about stun chance). It's pretty humourous to see how much damage you can do when you click about 10 different poisons on your weapon. You can apply them one right after another too, it's instant to apply them.



The fact that Haste from two different mages STACKS. Moving and attacking at double speed is pretty insane.



The fact that Haste does NOT stack with Momentum (and actually cancels it out, resulting in almost no net speed buff).

Dang, there is mine while reading this.....


Yeah...five playthrough's later.  How do you do that? :o


When in Camp, look at the character's stats and on the right hand page near the bottom is a "Level Up" button that is enabled if that character can be leveled up.  D'oh!1


D'oh!

Yay!  No more swapping parties 3 times just to check if anyone needs leveled.

If i had known that warden commander armor didnt make it to awakening i wouldnt have installed naked mods. The erected penis of my character on the very first scen was... disturbing to say the least (at least he had something to hit the darkspawns with, cause of course, weapon didnt make it to DA:A neither).

The tab thing is probably the biggest one of those moments for me, going back to the mages tower to ask about the Dwarven apprentice and noticing 5 or so quests that I just didn't notice without Tab.
