Re: I have succumbed to DA:O!

Welcome to Dragon Age hell! For general tips, I have:

- ALWAYS keep a rogue in your party if you aren't playing one for lockpicking/disarming traps

- to the best of my knowledge, the mission to rescue the dog isn't a DLC thing, because it works on my Xbox when the only DLC I have for that is the Stone Prisoner (it was free and I really love Shale)

- for the not being able to buy/sell items without a bunch of clicks, you can always drag the item you want from one side of the merchant window to the other

- I'm going to assume you're playing a rogue since you said your character is a Tauriel expy (fun fact, I just made a Tauriel to play with in Inquisition!) and rogue sounds like the best fit, but in my experience, Bard and Assassin are the best specializations for an archer pure DPS wise. This is personal opinion though, and let's be real, Ranger is amazing because who doesn't want a pet? :D

- It is entirely possible to piss your companions off to the point they leave you, and fun point of fact I discovered the hard way in my first ever playthrough, three of them can leave you during the SAME QUEST. So try to keep everyone happy, even if you're super committed to roleplaying (showering them in gifts is super easy if you have the feastday gifts DLC). There's also one point late in the game where a companion will leave you forever if you make the wrong choice.

- Save often, especially when you're doing the quest to recruit the mages with the treaty. And when I say "save", I mean hard save, as in through the save menu. Don't rely entirely on quick saves. Made that mistake once and had to replay 20 hours of game to fix it.

- Keep at least one mage in your party, and make sure they learn to heal. The Spirit Healer spec is highly recommended, because it gives you a party-wide heal and a revive spell. Even if you just give them the one Heal spell, it'll save you a whole lot of grief and a lot of money you can spend on making poisons and buying the more expensive weapons.


I hope you have fun selling your soul to Bioware! :D

I can just slick and drag items to sell?? omg you're my hero thank you got educating the idiot. this will save me much frustration!

Tauriel is indeed a rogue. :D I was considering Ranger (cause, c'mon--TAURIEL) but Assasin looks good too. How do you pick a specialty? The tooltip said "you can now pick a specialty, find a trainer" but I have yet to find a trainer....

Is there a way to make Morrighan like me? I've given her a few gifts and chatted a bit, but she was pissed when I agreed to help Redcliffe. Will it help to converse with her or does that just piss her off?

(I got a laugh out of the fact that apparently if you give Alistair an ale he'll love you.)

You can learn specializations from companions if their approval is high enough. Zevran can teach you the Assassin-specialization. Some specializations can also be unlocked by buying tomes from certain stores. You can't access the Assassin-tome atm, so you'll have to wait a bit.
Bodahn at the camp sells a Ranger-tome. You get another specialization once you hit lvl 14.

Conversations usually help with approval, though you have to be careful what to say. Each companion has few specific gifts that will give you loads of approval, so keep an eye out for those.

You're welcome! I had so much trouble with that at first, finding out it could be done the easy way was a godsend.

You learn specializations by doing getting the companion with that specialization to like you (Alistair teaches you the templar spec for warriors, for example), by buying the manual (this is the only way to learn the ranger spec without a mod or the dev console), or by doing certain things (an event in a section the Brecillian Forest lets you unlock the arcane warrior spec for mages). You only need to unlock each one once though, then they stay unlocked for all your characters, which is super nice because can you imagine having to go through all that every time? I can try to tell you as spoiler free as I can how to unlock the specs if you like :)

I always end up romancing Morrigan, so I can actually! Pick the dialogue options that sound most like your character has an enormous stick wedged up her backside, or that puts down the Circle and/or Chantry. Throwing jewelry at her is also an acceptable substitute if you want Tauriel to be a good person instead of having a stick wedged up her butt.

I love Alistair so much, and I'll forever be unhappy I can't romance him with a male Warden unless I use a mod. :(

Throwing jewelry is a go! I have RP in my soul so I can't make myself make mercenary dialogue choices. XD I keep going "Ok, so that's probably the BEST dialogue option...but Tauriel is a little tactless, so...."

I think I saw the ranger manual in the camp store! I don't have a lot of money, though. Are there moneymaking enterprises I'm missing or is it mostly the good ol' "Kill things and take their shit"

Kill things and take their shit, and make sure you do every side quest you encounter. There's the standard glitches you always find in video games, but they're dishonest and annoying. I'd focus on buying the backpacks first since you can get another specialization at level 14, so pick up something easier to obtain (like assassin, because Zevran is super easy to get his approval up since his goal in life seems to be to give everyone the D) first and then unlock ranger later when you've picked up more gold.
