It's amazing that even today someone is putting out videos about this great game. There is no new installment so we're stuck with this one, but the game is so deep that even 8 years later I'm still finding new things.
tip # 41 You can Jump farther in stealth. If there's a place you just can't seem to reach use a rogue or Ring of Doubt. Great tips JC Lee. some I didn't even know love your vids
I just finally played this and it's nice at least one person is still making videos for it. I hope they keep this multiple team member combat style in the next game. Thanks for the tips
I’m 120+ hours into my first play through of the game. As someone who isn’t a big gamer but has been searching for the perfect rpg after years of solely playing jrpgs- this game is amazing. Everything I’ve been looking for 😊
@@geekasauruswreks8789 Origins and Awakening are actually my favorite of all the games. It may not have the beat graphics but the skill trees/system, the tactics system for companions and story are amazing.
@@zakkmylde1712 Origins is my favorite. I'm replaying it right now. Spent about three days adding the mods I want. I used some old favorites and some stuff I haven't used before. Like, my Warden has a pet cat now! Very minor spoilers beyond this point. My headcanon was always that my Warden spent a lot of time with Anders so she could play with his cat. It's so strange to see Anders before... things happen. He's so funny and irreverent. I totally would have made a new Warden to romance him, but it's not an option. Seeing how he changes is a bit heart breaking.
I picked this back up about three weeks ago and started a new game. I am having so much fun that after I have finished exploring an area myself, I am using fan maps to get 100%.
Note that since the vitaar provide a flat bonus to your base damage, and staffs have the lowest base damage by far, that means mages get a much stronger increase to their overall damage by going Qunari than the other classes do. With Cretahl vitaar and an end-game staff, that's around a 30% damage increase, not even counting the 9% attack bonus that's also included with that vitaar. Also, despite what the game says, I'm pretty sure Qunari get 25% melee defense rather than 10%. 25% is what shows up in the character record, at least.
About #38 stopping the demons from spawning: You don't necessarily need to have the red circle demon spawnpoint inside the radius of your purge/dispel spell radius. As long as your purge/dispel radius touches the visual spawnpoint (light green visual circle that's bigger than the red one), it still works.
@@sinisterwitch9230 it explains in the video where you can get amulets of power. You can also dupe items in the chest at skyhold until you become the richest man to ever walk the fade.
First off, thank you for the tips! I do want to add a suggestion for potential future videos: there is quite a bit of bass feedback from your voice in the audio. I think potentially backing away slightly from the mic would provide a clearer representation of your voice. Thank you again, and I hope I didn’t come across as ungrateful or entitled. Genuinely appreciative of folks still giving advice on x-year-old games ❤
Finally played this game this week, was never interested before but damn. Had to quit mid-way and make a mage for Knight Enchanter. Vivienne is a beast by herself.
You can use Blade of Tidarion Schematic to give dual swords to your knight enchanter its really fun, is not the best staff schematic but it does the job and you get to wield 2 swords
You missed Axe of The Dragon Hunter having an attack slot for 12 leather pieces and that you can add a haft and pommel into it for very high critical hit chance. Generally great for warriors, especially useful if you're a Champion who thinks Walking Fortress should have nearly 100% uptime.
14:20 So that's why Hakkonites didn't do any damage to me when I went full melee on my team. I went with Blackwall, DW Sera and Cole both of them having poisoned weapons and Lost in the mist. Elusives are truly a God-tier defensive ability.
Nice video thanks for it, About no. 38, Yes you can stop demons from spawning using specific abilities and the xp will count, But you'll loose any chances of loots, Loots from are demons are unique & sometimes important.
There is a mod on PC that makes war table missions instant. I thought they fixed the bug that allowed you to loot multiple items like the amulet of power in Crestwood.
Trick 51: Bear Maul the Wolves is bugged. It doesn't do what it says. Instead, enemies behind you in short range deal 1 dmg to you. Very good for survivability. Where this is could be useful is with the infinite whirlwind build since you don't have to face your targets. Or other builds that use aoe effects like wombo combos. Trick 52: Simulacrum tanking. When you take damage when Simulacrum is up, you take at most HP minus 1 damage. E.g., if you have 10 hp, you take 9 dmg. Where is this broken is when you also have barrier and guard, say 10 hp but 200 barrier, you take at most 9 dmg to barrier each time you are hit. A practical build is Melee-mancer with Andraste's Sacrifice to generate guard, Tirdalion to melee, belt of urgency since you'll be low HP with Simulacrum.
Tip 53: Pact belts increase damage of Masterwork abilities too. Tip 54: Belt of Urgency works on some abilities such as Whirlwind Trick 55: Rogues and Mages can use shields if crafted with Silverite, iirc. Animations are super broken.
AHHHHHH that bear paw loot, that's a reference to an adventure module that I played years ago our group died to the wraith trying to find the dam amulet hidden in the bear's paw.
All I know is some dude, back in the day, posted a video about how to use the [shitty] party commands and how unintuitive they were, and they helped me beat the game on Nightmare. Shit was actually easy.
Even though this game got GOTY in 2014 it still falls way under the radar and deserves a next gen update for consoles. It runs and looks amazing on PC Ultrawiide though
If you haven't played the earlier games, they may help with DA withdrawal. If you have played them, just search Dragon Age and some channels will pop up with new content. It's almost all lore and not gameplay, though. Some of the lore videos have major spoilers for the first two games, so if you haven't played them and want to you might want to skip the lore channels. There's a bit of a buzz surrounding the recent teaser. Also, if you use Facebook, there are a few Dragon Age groups that are pretty active and the people are really nice.
Replaying this game after years of playing it and never beating it. You just made it worth while. Thank you friend! The dupe glitch is amazing and super easy lol...
Does dragon loot got same effect like the Malika necklace method? Sadly my 1st playthrough I miss my chances test this on dragon loots tho. If it works, thats a good to know for me
In Emprise du lion pick silverite from dragon place early even if you run all the time. If you pick silverite from every dragon, you will than pick 3-8 3 lvl runes than 1
Or it was All the ancient elven fade thing, but it triggered after picking all the silverite from dragons.. probably had picked every ore on map one too that time and suledin keep was mine
Thanks for the analysis! 🔍 Need some advice: 🙏 I have these words 🤨. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How do I use this? 🤨

I'm stuck trying to upgrade Skyhold and all the plants I need to find are easy to find . But I can't find any logging stands or rock quarries , I found 1 logging stand but that was before I found Skyhold . If they aren't going to give you map markers for these things they should at least give you a basic area to search in .

I legit quit WoW for this game 4 years ago haha best decision I’ve ever made
The previous two Dragon Age games have their issues, but if you like the lore they're great. They're also really cheap because they're old games.

The chest dupe glitch in skyhold is also another way to get infinite skill points. It’s also much faster.
By using amulet op powers right?

Where is this loot exactly ?

I think the target explodes masterwork also deals damage based on the attack you used, I'm not entirely sure though
Is your qunari a rogue?
Amigo usas mods para que el juego se vea asi o es que dragon age envejecio muy bien
If can check with tactical camera what will spawn, its already to late
When to go to the skyhold? Move forward as quickly as possible or try to postpone?
Finish as much side quest as you can within the first base because it won’t be available in act 2
Skipping time, on console at least, can cause the game to crash a lot more often.
