Dragon age: Origins

If all else fails get Cone of Cold, I've yet to see it fail and it's really really lame on bosses(just freeze them over and over and over and over).

My dwarf had sexual relations with the elf, this act of leadership inspired the elf's dexterity score.

i went into a whorehouse with my female ranger trying to get some lesbo action but all i could see were a black screen and a text saying "lustfull groan"

 

[Mabs]

go in the whorehouse and get the "suprise me" or whatever option, its ace

Yeah - cooldowns way too short on that - its pretty OP'd which is a shame.

The most overpowered spell I've encountered is:

Spoiler

Force field
Tank taunts all the mobs, force field on tank, massive AE on tank, win!

and the most overpowered combination of spells has got to be

Spoiler

virulent walking bomb -> petrify -> crushing prison. (petrify + crushing prison = shatter)

so with your combo plus this, not much will be hard

/edit: heres a question tho.

you can ask the different emmisarys at the camp if they need anything, and they answer that they do need this or that. but how the hell do i GIVE them the stuff?

the redcliff mercs need cash to upgrade their gear but i can't for the life of me get how to do that.

 

[Rulke]

Click on the crates beside the emissaries, you can donate cash, runes and something else - think it gives you XP

 

[Ctuchik]

and what the fuck is it with Bioware and being so anal about not having claoks in their games?

i thought they'd gotten past that with NWN2 but i guess not...

 

[Helme]

BioWare didn't do NWN2, Obsidian did.

 

[Ctuchik]

oh right.

well that would explain it huh?

 

[svartalf]

Has anybody had the Shale bug? Speaking with Shale brings up the "Activate Golem or leave it alone" clicky text that you get when you first encounter her, and puts the camera in an odd position (the characters are standing on a black circle and get teleported off the playing area. I've managed to get back into the map by running away from the group and when they repop in the play area I switch characters to one of them and then initiate a conversation to get my main character back into the playing area. You know, I kinda like being able to look underneath floating "assets" but it is kinda sucky (it takes me back to the days of daoc.. ). I ended up on a hill a fair distance outside the camp one time but managed to run back to my companions after negotiating some tricky objects (bushes etc). Quite fun but wierd and usually means reloading.

 

[Ctuchik]

yeah i have, ended up in the lava in deep roads after mistakenly interacted with that thing...

Have the dog find items in each zone in deep roads. got some really nice items. My favorite armor set is the Legion of dead one. Ohhh and you can get a sword from Ozrammar royal palace. After you've unlocked the royal chambers. Noticed when i ran in that a rumble sound when i passed the "square" infront of the doors into the "royal chamber" and when i used the throne i suspected something, found two more "triggers" so used 3 chars on the trigger had them on hold, used throne again spawned a dragon that dropped a 16.5 sword that weakens dragonkin and 3 rune slots i think. Sword of the Ageless. or something

And the Effort armor set. 1 piece bought in ozrammar, 1 found by doggie in deep roads, together with pantaloons, yarn, found cake and other gifts. other two found in deep roads. And if you pay Wade in Denerim to make dragonscale armor you get 3 top notch sets. thats is if you got the cash. And in Oran Thaigh if you have collected all the body pieces and use it on the mysterious font of power or what its called you summon a demon, if you release it you get 120g. If you kill it nothing.

 

[Ctuchik]

have to say i really like the starfang sword you can get if you have the wardens keep module...

to bad its the only thing worth getting from it aswell

Hehe aye. Pity you cant refurbish the keep, you just get locked out after clearing it.

 

[Ctuchik]

yeah got really pissed off at that. they claimed that that keep would be a staging point but all you get are 2 shit merchants and a storage that a free mod does better because its at the proper camp...

 

[svartalf]

Is there a caching issue? The longer I play, the longer it takes to zone...

 

[Mabs]

Is there a caching issue? The longer I play, the longer it takes to zone...

memory leak, yes

 

[Fafnir]

Is there a caching issue? The longer I play, the longer it takes to zone...

Yup, i've started to restart every 2 hours, and saves time. From 2-3 min load time in Ozrammar down to a few sec after a restart.

 

[Ctuchik]

memory leak, yes

aye, think its down to the inventory somehow. as the more i change there the longer it loads, and it gets there alot faster when you have a really big inventory at the end of the game.

usually dont even take me an hour to get 5 - 7 minute zone times then...

 

[svartalf]

I just found the cemetary in Haven. Funny shit.

 

[Fafnir]

I just found the cemetary in Haven. Funny shit.

Hehe aye, saw it when i went back after getting the Ashes.

 

[Rulke]

Heh aye, another nod to BG

Edit: part of the problem with loading times is theres so many seperate areas like shops etc which force you to reload the outside area again when you leave :|

Also what is the point of the seperate loading zone between orzammar and the outside world, what purpose does that serve? :/

Codex entires? I run to the deep roads and travel from there, 1 less loadscreen.

You can go straight into Orzammar Commons from the world map, but on your way out of Orzammar you have to go through another zone to get back to the world map.

that still makes it 2 loads tho. 1st from orzimmar to DR and then again to wherever you wanna go. the same as if you went from orzimmar to the paragon hall and then world map

so your really not saving any loading at all.

I'm not able to world travel from Paragon hall. I have to step outside, thats why i move via Deep Roads, save's me 1 load. Might be bugged for me. Not checked after the patch might work now thou, or my 2nd playthru, some bugs seems to pop up during different playthrus. Like that tome you get at start, my rogue kept getting new one each loadscreen.

 

[Ctuchik]

oh right.

forgot about that tiny place outside the gate...
