Dragon Age Tactics help...
    #11448803 - 11/13/09 03:54 PM (14 years, 4 months ago)

So, I'm starting to get a fuckin headache from the combat in dragon age.  I haven't been using tactics but the turn based shit, constantly issuing commands, is really annoying me.  What are some of the settings you use for characters and specific action orders?

I just downloaded this game and I'll be trying it in a bit.  That style of issuing commands was just like in Baldur's Gate (this game is the successor to that) and I always found it helpful to pause combat, issue commands, then watch it play out.  In Baldur's Gate you just tapped spacebar to pause it, try that out.  :thumbup:

UPDATE:

I'm really impressed with game so far.  I'm running an AMD Athlon X2, 3.25 GB RAM, nVidia 8600GTS and I'm able to run this pretty damn well on nearly maxed out video performance.  :thumbup:

I looooooved Baldur's Gate and this game has all the elements of that and then some.  I've been waiting for a game like this for quite some time.  Also, spacebar is the pause button in this.  You shouldn't have trouble with it if you pause then issue commands.  I actually like it that way; you can opt for hack n' slash or go all out magic and tactics and shit.

Well said Newbie, I have been playing for about 4 hours and
I think it is a great game.  The torrent was a surprisingly
quick download as well.

I too can max it out, what class are you playing?

I was just about to say this. I only download games that are more than a couple years old.

I like to support the people that actually make good games, that way we can get more in the future.

i'm not sure there's any way around it because it's fairly essential to pick out a kill order and focus force your targets down... the ai does a lot of retarded stuff if left to its own devices... you'll notice that there are some presets from the tatics, defender (tank), healer, archer, and so on... you can take those and tweak them a little more to your liking... my main character is an elf mage w/ all its talents invested into healing... i've found w/ small/medium pulls i can sit back and heal through the party doing w/e it is that they do w/o having to use consumables, but on any large scale pull it would be a major waste of consumables and i really have to dish out those commands.

I take it you've never played Baldur's Gate I or II?  Both older games and this one is made by the same company and plays in a similar style.  I'm the same way with new video games.  They just lose my interest and aren't as fun as even the 8 bit games sometimes but this was a welcome and unexpected release for me.

wtf?  i meant BUY THE GAME, not that this game sucked so buy a different one...not that you pirates would actually buy any game....but we can always hope....until they forced even gayer versions of steam and "Games for Windows Live" onto us then it won't matter at all will it?  i guess you folk would just revert back to card games or something then?

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.  :beetlejuice:

uh no im just pissed cuss its assholes like you that are RUINING pc gaming as we know it.  pirate all the shitty games you want i don't give a dam, but when there's a GOOD GAME and your fucking playing it and enjoying it you should be fucking paying for it!

p.s. Pirate the shit out of the 360, but when you pirate a PC game you are FUCKING everyone!  your not "just" duplicating it, your stealing the "MONEY" that you SHOULD have gave them....your STEALING their TIME and MONEY:crankey:  and your a DIRECT cause for SHITTY PC GAMES!!!!

you deserve all the SHIT KARMA that can be shoveled your way!

why hijack somebody's thread though?  this should be a thread for tactics related to dragon age... all you have to do is click post new topic and type something like piracy qq-fest, then people who aren't interested will know not to click it.

your right you should definitally ask him why he mentioned pirating games...good question...i guess he thought pirating was "cool" or something and as you can see it did start a "trend" and it drew in more pirates immeditaly after.  as for me, i feel anything remotely related to the topic is on topic, and if i see someone talking about pirating a good game ill call them out nomatter what the topic is, and anyone who is a true gamer should be standing behind the stomping as this hurts ALL gamers, your in here because of this game he is indirectly hurting YOU and YOUR gaming experience and he's directly hurting Bioware one of the last standing oldschool developers and he's sitting here trying to rub it in our faces!! he's scum and he's an admitted THIEF...thats certainly not shroomery like is it....or maybe it is :nonono:

? IDK if that was directed at me but I paid for my game. 

As a side, I've been playing League of Legends for the past two days.  I've been using the pause function all the time and that's why I'm sick of it already.  IDK.. I've had many encounters so far where I've tried LOS'ing ranged targets only to have one of my dumbass party members move on the other side of the wall when I click well before it.  I should've known better though, I spend 15 min clicking through lame story shit with answers that I'm not sure are changing the story-line or karma or wtf...  Maybe I need to give it more time?  Just finding it fucking retardedly boring so far.  Not even digging the story at all, I rolled a human warrior and it's just meh. 

Probably will be playing LoL (fucking gay acronym).  Dragon Age is a game that seems like it will be mostly me dying then reloading until I get harder encounters right, which I find to be terribly boring.  :crankey:

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...  :wink:  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.

:facepalm:


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 :lol:

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 :lol:

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 too can max it out, what class are you playing?




Whut torrent u usin?



:facepalm:


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.




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.

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.  :beetlejuice:




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!

Ah yeah, i just started on that.

You are supposed to find that werewolf who is still kind of an elf and wants you to give a scarf to her husband so you take the scarf then kill teh werewolf then you givethe scarf to that crazy motehr fucker of a mage and he trades you for the acorn.

and thats as far as i got then started watching curb you enthusiasm.

thats really dumb, just admit it, you don't like paying for what you don't have to.  Not paying for it because its a 'large corporation' that sells it, is horribly idiotic.  I'm not being rude or anything, i download assloads of movies, but really only play games on my ps3, not my pc, so don't download games really...

peace

yah the only way you can make good games these days is with large corporations, it takes entire teams to do the art, entire teams to do the codes ect ect.  i agree i hate large corps on the whole as well as it almost always leads to retarded rules n such.  but at some point you gotta pick your poison, and the pc gaming world is changing rapidly for the worse, we gotta speak with our wallets or they will continue speaking with their empty wallets.

microsoft is really close to releasing serverside games, in which you NEVER have access to any part of the game, all you do is buy a little cheap box that sends and recieves your keystrokes, and then it sends back video to your tv....this is the kind of crazy shit that will rapidly take off if we don't change our ways very quickly

yah, about level 12.  my main is a spirit healer (and herbalist, so i was well stocked up on pots), so i found the spike damage from a solo mob fairly predictable. rotating through my heals and then pots until my heal cooldowns were back up again.  WHAT I FOUND HARD was trying to side w/ the werewolves to fight the elf leader. holy shit that flight just obliterated me and i tried everything, zerging him might have worked as he was going down fairly quickly, if only i had a better group comp for crowd control :shrug: i don't know.  i ended up loading an earlier save game and fighting the werewolves instead... disappointing, but that was infinitely easier.

i killed that dragon today... it's funny, i had to go along w/ the cultists because i would get destroyed by the fight w/ kolgrim, the 2 bodyguards, and the 2 mages (because of the 2 mages)... so after going through the 4 trials to the urn i decided to see what would happen if i took the ashes w/o using the blood and just leave... outside i got into a confrontation w/ kolgrim w/o the 2 mages and beat his ass and got his horn to summon the dragon... sooo, the dragon started off obliterating me the first few attempts but it was largely a matter of placement.  i had my healer and archer and warrior w/ 2 hander spread out on the edges of room and had allistair tank him against a side wall...  if they're all grouped up the dragon nearly one shots everyone when he lands...  i let allistair get some reasonable agro before initiating w/ sten, because he puts out high threat, and then had him go in trying to keep him attacking from the side so he wouldn't get tail swiped or breathed... it didn't work out the greatest because he still got knocked back a lot, but my archer just got to have a free for all w/o taking any damage.  the same w/ my healer, out of range neither took damage.  between allistair and sten they easily went through 50 minor health pots, and my healer went through a dozen or so minor/regular lyrium pots. pretty intense timing, but the fight was in my favor, as my set up greatly favors single target encouters.  got a dragonslayer achievement and absurd amounts of loot :smile:

Lol... that's exactly where I'm too.

It IS annoying.  Especially because right about when you think you are ready to fight the boss... NOPE. Time for everlasting nightmarish, creepy, puzzle labyrinth.

I was frustrated at first so I was just plowing through the different "islands" not devoting my full attention which only made everything more confusing..

But now, I've calmed down and approached it with a more clear mind and it's not too difficult.  Hopefully I should be out of there soon.

You do get pretty weak XP... BUT, you get permanent increases to stats all over the place.  Be sure to keep an eye out for those.

right, at first i thought i was going to find the rest of my party inside the fade so i wasn't picking up the permanent stat increases that weren't useful to my main, but i'm doubting that's the case so i'll have to do more back tracking... i quit after getting all 4 of the shape shifts.  it seems like it shouldn't be that bad now.
