Anyway, back on topic:
This game is really looking good. Any word on how long it is? I hope it's as vast BG and BGII.

I read an exploit online where you basically get to level for free for a bit right after getting that darkspawn blood. If you don't get the scrolls and go back to Duncan you can just keep talkin to him to get more experience. An easy 6 levels... It's not cheating if it's an exploit.

any retard can use torrents dude, get over yourself
and obviously youre just a jew at heart because not only do you cheat the system, but you have no problem using exploits and refering them to others
way to go champ
i am not saying i am against pirating in general, but if there is a game or a movie or music that you truly enjoy, it only makes logical sense to support it...anything else is greed

So anyway, back on topic, yea the exploit won't ruin the game for ya, especially if you're new to this kind of game. The extra few levels you gain will definitely help in the part right after that. I might even put this game down for a while and pick up Baldur's Gate II first, just to familiarize myself on all the tactics and everything. I always play as an Assassin, I might switch it up and go Warrior this time.

so do you see how you derailed the thread now? do you see how damaging pirating is now? your crap is spreading like the plague...half the people in this thread don't even own the game and this number is growing all because you wanted to feel cool. so how can we expect any more good pc games when half of us just steal them? sure the pirate scene took off and seemed harmless at first, but we can clearly see the damages right before our eyes, the number of good pc games will only drop, dragon age 2? not at this rate. if the hippie/shroomery members can't revert back to buying games (who sopposedly believe in karma and all that jazz) then there truely is no hope, only fate...which will have only one direction less good games, and less gamer rights, more DRM, just the continued decline all around.

As a rule of thumb i pirate games im not going to play online.
Back on topic:
Actually one of the best games ive played in a while. REally in depth story thats really got me wanting to know more.
Im at the part where i have to get ashes for the Arl because he's sick or w/e. Lazy fuck cant do it himself 
I play as a rogue but i think i like mage better because i usually just play as morrigan.
She is really pissed at me though because i keep making decisions she hates

yah, that's the point that i'm at but i've been doing tons and tons of side quests to buff up as playing on hard difficulty is actually fairly difficult... hopefully will get back to the main plot sooner or later... think i have 17hrs logged in.

Well two games came out at about the same time, this one and league of legends... and league is strictly online multiplayer and I've been having fun with ti. I probably won't start fucking around w/ dragon age until after this semester ends and I can put in a good amount of time to build a nice tactics repertoire for each party member so I don't have to issue commands as much.

I don't like funding large corporations and I'm an experienced coder so I can get past any DRM you throw at me.
Anyways I'm about to play this game, I bought it on direct2drive because all the torrents I have found are rubbish.
Hopefully it's as good as baldurs gate.

Newbie said: This is the golden age of the internet and I plan to get all the free stuff I can. I find it foolish to pay for something I could easily have for free. Stealing digital content isn't the same as stealing something like a car, because after all, stealing digital content is really just duplicating it.
You're just jealous you don't know how to pirate. Read my tutorial on torrenting and quit whining. 
I don't know... You DO sound very greedy. Stealing is stealing. I suppose that MAYBE it's justified if you are stealing from some evil entity... But the people at Bioware seem decent enough and they've given me (and many others) many hours of delight and immersion into fantastic story-driven worlds.
I know they've been crafting Dragon age in particular for years and it's not really right that you get to reap all of the benefits of their labor for free.
That, compounded with the fact that's already been mentioned, that your kind are hurting the industry, and potentially taking the great games of the future out of the realm of possibility...
you know.. it just doesn't seem right.
I mean the game is only 39.99 now... Is that really too much to ask for 60+ hours of entertainment?
But, to the OP... This game has been very difficult for me too. I had to go back and recreate my character because I was getting pummeled. The character I'm playing now is just basically a tank with high constitution and strength. He's suited up in "massive armor" and takes the brunt of the damage while everybody else kicks ass... I have the game on "easy" for the time being, but it seems to offer me the right level of challenge without getting to the point of being so frustrated and pissed off that i have to shut the god damn game down.
Ahh.. goodtimes.

A good strategy i find is to make a tactic for your caster (if they have a heal spell) to auto heal any party member if they drop below 50%. Works well as a heal bot. I put it as my casters #1 priority.

my main is a spirit healer, i've been putting all my talents into healing spells and mana regen spells... now that my magic is high enough to be able to get all my spells i'm going to put all my character points into willpower for awhile so i can cast more. allistair is my tank, he's been a bit squishy thus far, as i've worked on getting his strength and dexterity up to the point that i can get all his tanking abilities. i went for getting threaten and taunt first, and then everything else has went into the sword and board talents (recently just getting shield wall, which has been a massive help). now that i can get all his talents i'm dumping all my points into constitution, which has been pretty tough living without... i'm not sure if i've went the best way about it, but i really like getting a new useful skill every level up as opposed to a little constitution. other than that i'm playing w/ sten, and have putten all his points into strength and getting all the 2 hander talents. he's by far my greatest dps. i also run w/ leliana, as an archer.. her dps leaves something to be desired but the bitch picks locks and i can't stand to leave a chest unturned.
still haven't procceded w/ the urn story line, i went to the elf forest and started working on those quests - i killed my first dragon and looted 20 gold!!! (for me, that's mad gold, as i think the highest pay i've gotten from a quest was mebbe 4g)... on hard this game can be nuts! i quit all the time absolutely livid rofl, but still i have a pretty high tolerance for these things i guess.

Nice.
My main is a rogue and i have alistair as my tank too.
I think i kinda fucked my talents up in the beginning but im getting back on track now.
I have morrigan as my caster. She fucks shit up
And for my fourth i have some assasin who tried to kill me and i took him as a 4th. I let alistair tank then set my two assasins behind the enemy and they fuck shit up with their backstabs.
I have taunt and i think the last thing i got for alistair was shield wall.
Where did you kill this dragon?
I tried to fight one on top of the mountain when you are going for the urn but i got my shit fucked up.

well, in the elf forest you have to get an acorn from the mad dude that demands you ask and return questions, i never figured out what i had to trade him so instead i reached into his hovel and fought him and killed him for the acorn. then you give the acorn to the great tree and he gives you some sort of wood that lets you pass through this barrier in the eastern part of the forest... through there is where the werevelves hide in this temple, on the lower floor is where the dragon is. all considering he's fairly easy compared to some of the normal pulls w/ like 15 mobs so i'd go do that and collect lol. i have another conundrum though, apparently i pissed off the elf quartermaster and now he won't sell to me. i'm not sure what i did, but i'm pretty fucked because he is the only one i know of that sells the root or whatever that i make my healing potions with!
