You can hit just short of 34 by doing literally 'everything' Delrayn, for the rest, just use the gift crates in camp to give stuff to the mages/elves etc for the extra xp :)

I had several doh moments but the funniest one is not knowing there was a tavern in Redcliff through an entire playthrough. Who are Bella and Lloyd everyone keeps talking about- I asked myself, doh!

I think the big kicker for me was realizing the importance of the "Forcefield" and "Crushing prison" spell. I never realized how important this spell was. I thought, "Well that's a dumb spell. It basically shields you and nothing can hurt you but you can't move." What I didn't know is that "Forcefield" can be used against enemies.

See 20 minions and one huge baddy?

Put forcefield on the big bad boss. He becomes invincible but he can't move. He'll literally sit there for a LOOONG time. 

Then I clear out all the small baddies around him.

Once the forcefield goes away, you've cleared out his minions and it's just him all alone.

Sometimes..if my party is badly injured. I'll put Forcefield on a big bad boss. Then while he's in "Forcefield"..I'll have my entire team literally quaff some potions, yawn, stretch...until the big bad boss gets out of his forcefield. When he wakes up, he's fighting 4 rejuvenated fighters while he's back at square one.

If you've got 2 or 3 spellcasters...it's cheap.

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


Whelp, time to respec one of my mages.:blink:

-The only stat that mages really need is magic. Willpower can be almost totally ignored.

-Weapon enhancing spells stack when applied by different mages. (fire, frost, and telekinesis).

The tavern in Redcliffe I missed during the first few characters due to not being able to look up while running along.

Two things come in mind: I didn 't know about hardening Alistair. And somewhere on my god only knows how many playthroughs I learnt that you can drag your skillbar to make it longer. I REALLY would have prefered to know that earlier.

I wish I'd known that Advanced Tactics created "invisawalls" in your game that you can't move through.



I love that mod. And I've come to expect bugs from mods that affect gameplay, but there's nothing about the nature of that mod that would make you think it creates invisible walls that prevent you from finishing the game.



It's a really weird bug, too, in order to get rid of the "invisawalls" it makes, you need to disable it, go back to an earlier save in another zone, and RELOAD the ENTIRE AREA, or the spawned "invisawall" won't go away.



How weird that it does this. I hope it gets fixed at some point.

Why would you say this? Willpower = mana, right? Granted, you have easy regen of mana btwn fights, but within a fight...

There's an "easy" way to get to level 25? The most I've been able to get doing everything I can find is level 22 -D'OH
Help!

Yeah, I second the "there's an easy way?" "Doing everything" isn't necessarily easy.

Lyrium pots are cheap and infinite.  A stack of lesser pots is like 3 gold.

All extra willpower will do is let you cast one extra spell or so.  The average spell costs around 50 mana, so you need 10 points in willpower to make a difference in casting.  That's 3+ levels right there.  It's simply more efficient to dump everything into magic and pop pots for mana.

Willpower is important for a character with many sustains. lyrium potions are trash when you only have 30 mana.



on topic:

"If you click then hold both mouse buttons, your character will move continuously while you control direction with the mouse."



Whaaa? After reading the whole thread and laughing at things that I knew all along, I found this little piece of information. I much prefer this kind of movement style, ready to go try it out!

If you hit the "esc" key during dialogue, it cuts it short and starts either the next segment of dialogue or brings up the conversational choice menu. Which is really handy when you're trying to sell something to Bodahn for the zillionth time.

I only learned from the forums that some of the best gear in the game is only available doing things I wouldn't normally do. Like kill Owen in Redcliffe to get Far Song (best bow) or look at Herren's merchandise again after trading in some drake scales to get Felon's Coat (best light armor).

1, On my first 2-3 tours through the Korcari Wilds I didn't realize the pouch of ashes actually was for trigging the fight against Gazarath. This was also due to not knowing about the highlighting items function...



2, I didn't realize after trying out 3-4 rogues how effective Momentum actually is. Since it said it drained stamina rapidly I tended to avoid it. After actually having tried it is terrible to play without it.



3, I didn't know about the dragon fight in Orzammar until I read about it here on the forum.



4, It took several playthroughs to realize that the book Cammen and Gheyna gives you and the amulet you get from Athras actually can be used for trading with the crazy blood mage hermit.

I forgot one important thing: I just recently discovered that I could delay fighting the Desire demons on the 3rd and 4th floor in the Mage Tower until after I got the Litany of Adralla, which is super effective against these demons. That made those previously very hard fights a piece of cake.

Sten's cage thing - only found out that through this thread, and I have played several rogues - I feel so stupid.

It also took me a while to figure out how to swap weapons sets (/ key or the button to the left of char name), not that that is so important.

Finally, I was annoyed to find out that I could get the key to the mage's chest from the prisoner - heck, didn't even realise there WAS a prisoner there for the first couple of runs :(

Edit - oh, yes, I also took a while to find out that you chould change parties when in big towns, without having to go back to camp, and that you can use the map to travel to places, without having to go to the exit physically in some cases.

Learning through the Dragon Age Wiki that I should have cared about the phylactery in one random encounter in Denerim immediately to get and complete the Black Vials quest. I saw it and left it for good (and come back later) . Man, why did I not think of being in an random encounter area I would never see again. I feel so stupid.



Learning that exactly the merchant I made disappear in Orzanmar by bashing up the thugs in his shop was an infinite supply of flasks in the game and the cheapest on top. Now, if Morrigan wants to make health potions I always have to switch between camp and world to get the flasks and make the potions.



That I always run to the wrong altar to perform the elven ritual. The right one being just behind me.



Learning in this thread that you can stack poisons on weapons.

Just now discovering through perusing the forums that if you make the teeth-gritting, annoying mistake of choosing “Violent” as your voice you CAN change it and not delete you character.

Ah well, not like after one I’d make THAT mistake again anyways. Ever.

Oh man I've had a few reading this thread. I had no idea about the leveling up or expanding the spell/action bar thingy.



I think it was my third playthrough when I finally figured out you could actually get that crate and chest on top of the barn thingy by the tavern. I thought it was a bug and they were unreachable. I think that was the same playthrough I finally found what the heck you do with those ashes in the Wilds.



I didn't know about the Ageless dragon or stacking poisons for at least four playthroughs. My first playthrough I also didn't realize about removing runes until at least 3/4 of the way through--I blame that on playing Guild Wars where such runes can only be removed at great risk of destroying your armor in the process unless you have special tools.



I really don't read the codex entries so Maker alone knows what else I've missed.

I just found out about Sten's cage lock. grrrr.. I found out about the tab button about a week ago. I used to play on the ps3 and everything clickable sparkled like loot, so I didn't know there was a way to see it all on the PC. I didn't know about hardening Alistair and Leliana until about 6 playthroughs so I had alistair pissed at me for being king so many times. lol
