Spoiler tag!!

SpoilerWell, I guess at least I know to take Bethany out of the rotation, now.

Thanks idiggory. Figured at this point that I'd give it a look through. It's gonna be a tough choice to make!

Right? I wish I had never learned before hand (pretty much the same scenario as you, but not on Zam), because then I just ended up trying to figure out which choice made me less of a douche.

Then again, doing that has kinda come back to bite me more than once in DA2...

Quote:

If they become Wardens, they will join you for the final mission of Act II. I do not know if they will be available at all for Act III.

I have a feeling what happens with them depends a great deal on your relationship with them, and the choices you make during act one. This is what happened in my game.

I don't know about Bethany (I assume it's the same for both of them though) but when Carver became a Warden, he showed up in a brief CS (mine had Alistair in it, but that depends on what you did in Origins, or which back story you picked if you didn't import a save) in act two, and became playable again during the last section in the Gallows during act three.

Also, that male elf who's name I don't recall, turned on me and wouldn't fight for the mages. He showed up right before the final fight with a group of Templars, but since I never once used him in party, I never leveled any of his stats or upgraded his abilities. I dropped his sorry *** in about five seconds.

I was shocked and appalled that neither of my roommates got the joke regarding the name of one of the bandit bands in Act III.


SpoilerThe Reining Men


They had never even heard the song. o.O

Many of the bosses hurt like hell with a tank, so I can only imagine what they'd be like without one...

I just wish they didn't choose your companion's talent trees for you. Let me give Fenris a sword and shield if I want, and use those talents. Even if his personal talents are all damage oriented compared to the survival options of Aveline. That would make him viable at least (in a more realistic sense than he is "viable" now).

But, as it stands, if you aren't a Warrior you are practically forced to use Aveline. I'm playing on normal, and Fenris was just taking too much damage. I can't imagine you can really use him on higher difficulties.

If you aren't a Mage, you are forced to use Anders, because Merrill can't even heal, let alone use the stronger spells like regroup/aid allies.

So, as a Rogue, I only really have one party spot to choose for. And that sucks.

They should have made Sebastian another Sword/Shield tank, imo, rather than a second ranged Rogue. Especially when Varric is stronger (iirc).

I don't hate Aveline--I like her enough. But I don't like her so much that I would use her even when not forced.

I suppose you could spec everyone for maximum CC, but it would still be a pain.

If you're playing on Normal or lower, just tactic up potion use and you can skip the healer much of the time.

FINALLY FOUND AMBROSIA, FINAL **********

Sooo, I'm not reading even the last page of this because I read a few spoilers already. I don't even know who Isabella is, but I'll have to watch for some romance or something. Whatever.

I just got this game two nights ago. The graphics are good. I wish I could choose another race, though. So, yeah. That's all I have to say 'cause I'm really caught up at work and the other forums are deader than dead.

Double post. D:

Lol, yup. I know you could have one if you were romancing Alsitair and hardened him. I think that was the case with Leliana, too. Zevran probably asked you to do it. Dunno if Morrigan would go for it though.
