I've just finished the battle of Ostagar, its tough though even on normal I only got past my first Ogre battle by managing every action of all 4 players :/
The stroy is a tad predictable I guessed what was going to happen a mile away but its characters really bring it to life

I recommend all to play Dragon Age Journeys its a free Flash game. And if you got the game you earn object that you can use in the game.

Yeah I played and completed that a while back while waiting for the main game to be delivered. Its good fun

Oh Nord, I don't know if it is available for everyone but I found some new DLC when I logged in this afternoon:

"The Edge"

It appears to be some sort of short-sword....

Seeing as I am a big fan of Penny Arcade (On The Rain-Slick Precipise of Darkness was EXCELLENT), I thought I would share their Dragon Age comic.

Although its perfectly viewable on their site I thought I would put it here for your convenience - I'm nice like that

The edge is a free dlc for all how brought the game in november i think and nice find

Well, it was no good - I finally caved and completed the game. At 64 hours worth, I have to say that it was freaking awesome and I'm really looking forward to the next part of the saga.

As an avid RP'er it left me breathless in places and I found it gory, funny, inspiration and truly epic. I'd go so far as to say its one of the best games I've ever played.

For those of you who have played it or are playing I'm sure you know what I'm saying, and for those yet to play it - you're in for a treat!

BioWare trumps again!

(now, lets start a new character.... )

Here's a couple of screenies:

You may put the spoiler waring first not on the bottom on the post!

.... that spoiler warning is a link, not a note - the other pictures aren't spoilers.

Btw guys did anyone see what Edge magazine gave Drgon age? 5/10 yet all the other realeases like COD:MW got 9s and 8s

I knew there was a reason why I don't buy edge

All I can say is I would give it 10/10 myself, I didn't even give l4d that!

I agree it on of the best game i have played in my life

Its a new patch out 1.02

Bioware wrote:

Dragon Age: Origins 1.02

Patch details:

Many of the fixes affecting balance, gameplay, or plot scripting are already included in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 versions of Dragon Age: Origins.

Balance

Daggers now apply 0.5 points of damage per additional point in dexterity and 0.5 points of damage per additional point in strength, as originally intended. This increases dagger damage for high-dexterity characters.
During combat, mana or stamina reserves now correctly regenerate more quickly when reserves are low. This allows players to occasionally use an talent or spell in the later stages of lengthy fights.
When exploring, mana and stamina now regenerate more quickly at higher character levels. This reduces downtime between fights.
The spells Force Field, Crushing Prison, Cone of Cold, and Blizzard now have shorter durations and/or longer cooldowns. This ensures that combatants can no longer stun-lock each other by repeatedly casting the same spell.
The cooldowns for several low-level sustained abilities are now shorter. This ensures that players are not penalized for accidentally deactivating them.
Certain battles were not scaling properly, resulting in excessively difficult fights. They now scale as intended.
Enemy corpses now drop health poultices and money more appropriately, resulting in less clutter in the player's inventory.
Gameplay

In rare cases, enemy corpses were selectable when they contained no loot. This no longer occurs.
Party members whose combat tactics were set to defensive behavior no longer stop attacking after using a spell or talent.
In rare cases, combat tactics conditions could fail to determine whether a character had enough mana or stamina to use an ability. This no longer occurs.
The Rally talent no longer repeats its audio effect if it is active during certain conversations.
The Rally talent no longer deactivates upon area transitions or conversations.
The Shimmering Shield spell now deactivates when the character is out of mana.
Plot *Spoiler Warning*

Promotional downloadable content items now remain in the player's inventory when standard items are removed at the end of the dwarf noble origin.
Repeatedly talking to Duncan after gathering the vials in the Korcari Wilds but not the treaties no longer provides duplicate experience.
Leliana's personal plot can now be completed if the player substantially increased her approval (through gifts) before talking to her.
During the siege of Redcliffe, enemies are no longer able to spawn in locations that would break the plot.
Bann Teagan no longer disappears when he is supposed to be accessible during Urn of Sacred Ashes.
PC Specific

Controlling a summoned creature (like a ranger's pets) during certain special area transitions no longer results in odd behavior.
Creating a character in a custom module did not create a folder for saves. This could result in corruption of main campaign saves. This no longer occurs.
In some cases, the class icon was set incorrectly for characters imported from the downloadable Character Creator. This no longer occurs.
The options menu now includes a setting to automatically download previously purchased content that is not currently installed.
After installing new downloadable content, the game now always reminds the user to restart the game.
The icons for some promotional downloadable content items were missing. They now appear correctly.
The screenshot upload GUI would stop working from time to time on the client. There was a memory override that was fixed. It is a client fix. It doesn't affect the other problems we have seen on the server.

Cheers Nord

wow it might be a bit easier now, I'm just getting outside of loythern and mobbed by a group of goys bandits and archers, and I seriously can't figure out this tactis malarky

I never used Tactics - just make sure you have the game set to auto-pause at the start of combat and control each character in your group one at a time.

There are some awesome combos you can do

does anyone know how many dragon scales you need to make the dragon scale armor???

I might get this game, I'm a big fan of rpgs, especially ones made by Bioware.

Well I had about 10, but be warned - its a little sneakier than it looks.

When you go to the blacksmith in Denerim and convince him to make you some dragonscale armour he tells you to come back later, which you do. The armour seems great but he's not happy with it.

Leave the area and come back a little later and give him some more scales and he repeats the process, with MUCH better armour. Remember to pay him for the effort both times though, you need to pamper his ego a little bit the original armour you can sell to get back the money you invested anyway.

I found loads of scales in the temple that contains the Urn of Sacred Ashes, though I don't for the life of me know exactly how many you actually NEED.

All endings done !!!!!!
