Did you find or give Velana's gift to her? Even giving her sisters trinket to her may trigger a encounter. I never had a problem if I gave either of them to her before traveling from the wood to the keep.

Many people have tried this at varying levels of approval. Nothing works.

Are you saying that it has worked for you if you give her a gift before leaving the Silverite Mines for the first time?

I need more walking. I gave her the gift before the mines and still no encounter.(I'm on a pc.) BTW what triggers the final assault?

Well... I am done.

I give up. Completely.

I just had my forty sixth encounter... and I have lost my love for this game. It has been building for awhile. There is just too much missing that I liked from Origins.

The dialogue is paltry and far too rushed... nothing ever seems explained well enough. Most quests are fights with no dialogue and no real explanation.

There are some really good elements, but I am only really trying to get Velanna's quest in order to make barely fleshed out characters seem more real.

The new interaction system strips out characterisation completely and makes me feel totally detached from these people. There is much less reason to care.

After realising that any continuity with the first game was pretty much a lie, I was dissapointed...

But not nearly as dissapointed with all these bugs... there are dozens of the ****ing things, everywhere!

This is kinda the last straw... I *really* need a break. I have lost twelve hours of my life to random encounters that I am never, ever getting back....

Time for one final *sad face* and I think I am going to go get a life... because there isn't much here that is gripping me anymore... when did their standards for testing drop so much?

I cannot understand how Ferret managed at least two moments of "self homage" but failed to get his team to make a proper game... I have no faith this man can continue this franchise in any way but down.

And here it is  Posted Image...

Hope no one got hit by my bottle as I was throwing it...

Wow I didn't even realize there was or even were encounter's at all. At least you got some sheesh lol. My first playthrough I had none. This time I've had at least 1 lol and that was with some Avvar soldiers. I was thinking how disappointed I was because I hadn't had any encounters lol.



Speaking of Vallena she only has that 1 encounter right with her other clan? Because both times I've played so far I've had her encounter happen right when we leave the wood for the first time after getting her.

Aw, don't let it get you down, Stoomkal, just start up a new Origins game. I did, and I'm enjoying it immensely. It's like coming home. ;)

Lmao that it does.  Playing Awakening's I find myself missing my dog and Alistair the most because those are the two I had in almost all my travels so I end up going and making a new character in Origins and playing again.  And there's always something new or different to discover in Origins.

I know what you mean...ah, the relief(sighs in satisfaction)

Awakening certainly hase a decent amount of P***off-ability and easy combat boredom. Plus, it doesn't have Leliana's gigglePosted Image. That is more than enough for me to play the main game again.

I have. It would have been cooler had I not already obtained Starfang...I mean Vigilance.

I wish the dragon had been a boss or at least an elite.

Odd... I just read in the wiki that this encounter existed, along with one involving pirates that drop "Dumat's Claw", which I was looking for in-game.

Funny that I had forty six encounters but I never saw Velanna's clan or either of these encounters...

I had a total of two random encounters, one of which was some merchant who decided she was going to go trade at the keep. Of course, this happened after the keep was burned to the ground and I was on my way to kill the Mother.

See now I was able to trigger the exile encounter as like my 2nd encounter in the playthrough. Immediately after hearing Velanna talk about how she envies humans for their stories or something like that.

I picked up Velanna, then straight away left the Woods before going into the Silverite Mines (wanted to pick up Justice asap, cos I was playing a rogue and don't like Oghren, I wanted someone to tank). Later in the game I came back to do the mines, as soon as I had finished in the mines my first random encounter was the one that triggered Velanna's personal quest.

I only got something like 4 random encounters throughout the whole expansion.

Posted Image Out of playing 2 different games I only got 1 random encounter.



So on some of these random encounters you can pick up some extra *goodies*???

I didn't get the dragons encounter but I did get the one for Dumats Claw There is also a Dumats weapon in the keep in the vase. Is that a set? I didn't get the encounter till I was going to fight the Broodmother and couldn't be bothered with even looking at it.



At this point I was so pissed I saw the skull and "Destroyed by darkspawn" on the keep I just wanted the damn game over with so I could see the end.



Dumb Architect would have lived if he hadn't gotten between me and the Mother. I was so pissy I just killed him, didn't even listen to his sob story about downtrodden darkspawns.

Yes. The set is "Dumat's Spine" and "Dumat's Claw".



The Dar'Misaan is found in the Keep at the start of the game... the Dar'Misu is found if you are lucky...



Good set, though.

The whole woods thing when you first meet her is screwed up, I killed bandits and scavengers right off the bat, then i was teleported to some sick dude going on about her, I came up through the rest of the game backwards, see Vellana on a cliff she won't talk to me, got to the bridge(after clearing out everything else in the woods) then I'm telported to the other side with a guy running from the direction I was just at coming towards me and then get a 3 peat of the same scene.

Finally I finish off the bandits and then I can't find the girl anywhere, this went on for hours before I finally came to see if I was the only one having this issue, only to find out I was gonna have to start the woods all over again

I have just had someone tell me that they only trigger this encounter if they recruit the party in this order: Sigrun, Velanna, Justice...



I always recruit her first, maybe this is an issue?



For those that *have* had this encounter... when did you recruit Velanna?
