In certain areas, you can use the Radial Menu to change your party. I don't think this is possible on the PC (thanks to the fact that they have a quickbar), or how they would do it, but that's how it's done on the 360.



As for Lothering's destruction, that occurs after one story quest. I've actually left Lothering, done some DLC, then come back when I was able to get Leliana a point in Trap-Making so I could complete (but not exploit) the 'Traps are a Girl's Best Friend' quest.

Wish I’d known you don’t have to go back to camp every time you want to switch out a party member. Also wish I’d known you should go into Dane’s Tavern in Lothering. When the refugee said it was full of Loghain’s men, my first PC steered clear of it (why go looking for a fight, honestly?). Spent half the game wondering when I was going to run into this Leliana chick… only to learn I accidentally left her to die a horrible darkspawn death back in the unentered tavern in Lothering.
 

Wow, I was reading everybody's D'oh moments, thinking "hah, I'm so smart, I've figured all of those things out all by myself!"
...and there you have it, my very own D'oh moment!!  How DO you switch out party members outside of camp? I have no clue!!

Also, I'm currently in my second playthrough and left Sten and Leliana to die because I didn't know Lothering got devastated the second you walked out of town...  My current character couldn't persuade a thief to rob her even if she waved a sovereign under his nose, and I had forgotten that Leliana was key to convincing the revered mother to let Sten come with us (for some reason, I thought Leliana appeared in Denerim), so I decided to get some XP somewhere else and then go back to get the dude out of his cage. I went to Redcliffe, got rid of all the undead, then left town... and Lothering's icon had gone dark. D'oh!

You didn't threaten the Reverend Mother I take it?  Alistar flips out but... meh.<_<

[Amedyr]

@ swk3000 - I'll give that a try, as soon as I can (I'm at work, right now, shhh!)

Good to know about Lothering not disappearing right after you leave. Will keep that in mind, next time!



Asdara - I was tempted to threaten her and my current character is going for the Zevran romance (so Alistair can flip out all he wants), but I figured since persuasion wasn't working, intimidation would just get me surrounded by angry templars...

Another  moment.  If you have the dog in your party and it is injured, when you click on it you don't get the option to ask it to find something interesting, it just cringes and whines, if you use and injury kit, you then get the option to ask it to find something.

I've done so many playthroughs and kept thinking 'why does it do this'.

There's a button at the top with 3 people on it, click it

Thanks, Mustang678!

Mine was i didn't know you could get the spells back when i accidently removed them completey from the Actionbar:blink:, Spent my first playthough with a sword and shield warrior without Threaten Did not go well

[Elhanan]

I have yet to use Threaten or Taunt for the Warden, though I have done so a few times with other Warriors. But I have also failed to Lock my Quickbar, and have accidently dumped some selections during the chaos of combat....

"Dirty Fighting? Dirty Fighting?! It was there a moment ago!"

My first tests through the game, I remember thinking that Daveth was the worst Rogue ever; could not pick any locks. I still believe he should take these skills, but now remember Tomi from NWN, and am grateful that Daveth actually does something useful occasionally....

I killed the merchant at Lothering didn't know you could steal a sick bow from him.



Also opened the mage's chest and had to use a mod to get another key for Return to Ostagar.



Had no clue that quickbar could be extended.

[DWSmiley]

Yes, I've also gotten that encounter since but never a ballista. It must have been some weird glitch with one of the archers shooting as if he was some sort of super-mega, on-steroids ballista, dropping Alistair in a couple of shots and Leliana in one shot.

[Packa]

Hardening, The camp merchant, and leveling up in camp all learned in ma 3rd play through.



...



But that pales in comparison to not even noticing Sten till third play through. Such an awesome and deep fella with tons of Lore!

[ell46]

Re the ballista, I've noticed that when archers fire arrows past you there is often a thin streak of white light that accompanies it, perhaps that is what you mistook for a ballista.

It's actually possible to go and do a bunch of things and come back.  For example, you can have Oghren in the party when you first meet Sten and Leliana...as long as you don't actually take any one "quest arc" all the way to completion.  (For that reason, you can't go get Wynne and then come back and get Sten.)

I was a "tab" addict in NWN1 so discovered that one early.



My "doh" moment was when I realised you could extend the task bar with a click and drag, which happened about halfway through my first playthrough.

[Elhanan]

When nobody listens to you and just stand about while you are getting chewed upon, you may have the 'H'-Hold key in play.....

[hollirae]

OMG after reading through this thread I missed A LOT!!!!!! GRRR.



Dragon in Orzamar.... Flemeth eating Morrigan??? WOW I really need to make some different choices and keep my eyes open.

[Splindicator]

Wish I had known Warden's Keep and Return to Ostergard were meant to be played as part of the main game and not as an "extra." It's kind of pointless to get all that cool gear and then have nothing to do with it. You'd think I would have learned my lesson with ME1 DLC.



Of course, it has made playing the game through a second time more appealing with two more areas to explore. The Shale one came with my game.

[sdfsdfaffafe4rtggs]

I played as a female rogue.  I enjoyed some good ol' lesbian action with Lelliana (I am still quite litteraly in love with her), and after completing the game I found out that I could've had some even better three-way action with that rogue at the Pearl in Denerim.  And all I did was play cards with her.  Anyways, I can't beleive I let some lesbian three-way action get past me.  I feel ashamed.  (where do I hand in my man-card?) 

Also, after getting to level ~20 in Origins, i decided that there was no skills/talents that I really cared about so just chose any skill/talent willy nilly (just to ****** that "+" symbol off next to my characters portrait).  By the end of Origins, I was level 25.  Then starting Awakenings, I found that there were more awesome skills and specilizations in the expansion.  So what I did was go back to a reload in Origins at about level 20, and played through the rest of the game again without using up my skill/talent points when levelling.  You can imagine how stupid I felt when I found that for a mere 6 soverigns I could've reset EVERY STAT for my charactor via purchasing an item from a vendor very early on in Awakenings.  Ugh..

Also, I had no idea about the shade you can battle if you wear the legion armour (not that I could, as I was a rogue that didn't meet the str requirements I imagine) nor did I know about the Dragon there either. 

[Janni-in-VA]

I just recently discovered that you can target your companions with spells by moving the crosshairs over their portraits rather than trying to find them in a heaving mass of fighting bodies. Makes getting off those healing and restoration spells much faster.

[Custodire]

Crap! I wish I'd known that giving Leliana gifts and raising her approval too quickly can disqualify you from romancing her.

Crap! I wish I'd known that Vigilance is actually a cool looking sword if you disable Warden's Peak before crafting it!

Doh! I've played 500+ hours and just learned about the dragon in Orzammar in this thread. Lots of interesting tidbits here. Only (hopefully) new one I think I can add;



Be careful setting tactics for using health poultices. If someone uses a poultice and is still below the threshold you set, they can stand around doing nothing (getting pounded/hacked etc) waiting for the timer to expire so they can use another poultice. Took me a long time to figure out why they were just standing there doing nothing. Now I always set up complementary tactics; 2 "poultice tactics" per char, or have mage(s) also do party healing. Of course the best is to employ Dr. Wynne Medicine Woman!

You don't have to wear the armor set yourself, ANY character can wear it. He doesn't even have to keep it on for the battle, you can pause right after activating the Relic and swap it out to battle the Shade.

My d'oh moment was related actually - I found out the Helm ISN'T needed for the Armor of the Legion item set. All that time I could've given Oghren a better helmet...
