@@theinquisitorisamage1653 sadly you can only get the Nug Crusher with RTO lol but it’s still really good for any two-handed build lol because you literally have infinite stamina. I would also recommend Yusaris too. It’s a very good weapon especially early game
@@BlankSpaceMonsterASMRYeah, it sucks that you have to get DLC for some of the better gear. I forgot about Yusaris - although the only time I used it was when I brought Sten to fight 'Andraste' up at the Temple.
@@theinquisitorisamage1653 oh boy I tell ya, I ran this build in my last play through I definitely recommend for this build you get Yusaris as quick as you can, head for the Circle first thing and that sucker will last you almost the whole game
Hey man, so glad I found your channel, so cool that you are doing videos for DA origins, playing this build on my playthrough with slight changes (havent played the game in like 6 years) and loving it.
It's good to see players still uploading character builds from this GOAT fantasy RPG. I would say that the 2 handed warrior is my all time fave build for the crowd control and general ability to tank and stay standing. I also prefer champion and berserk (see my profile pic). For the main game, I aim for Starfang (5 fire/5 cold/master SR)Helm of Honnleath, Evon the Great's mail, warden commander boots and gloves of diligence (so I loose any set bonus but individually it works). My accessories match yours at 5:50. I have been through the game 10+ times on Nightmare, usually with a warrior of some sort.
Thank you so much!!! I just bought the Dragon Age games and I had nooo idea how to build my character. But, thanks to your awesome Dragon Age: Origins (Builds) videos I’m really progressing. THANK YOU!!! I’m going to use all of your Builds with all my different characters. I love your videos! They are so easy to follow and understand. You explain everything so thoroughly and really make it easy to follow along.
@@ChoppedCelery Aaaaand I just shot tea out my nose at that XD Thank you so much for these builds. I played for years on console and have had a bit of trouble adjusting to the PC.
I'm sitting in a dead silent room with headphones on and full blast audio and it still feels like you're Whispering this build to me It's good content it just sucks that I'm going to have to wait till literally no one is home to start applying your builds
Survival skill is actually a passive bonus if you go all the way for a total of +25 nature resistance and +2 physical resistance. If goes 1 +5, 2 +5, 3 +5, 4 +10 and +2 physical resistance, and you can detect almost everything. On my warrior builds I tend max out poisons as well and use both bombs and apply poison buffs to my weapons. On Nightmare this is a must for me lol. At rank 4, Concentrated Demonic Poison does an addition +10 spirit damage per hit and it's cheap to make. Quiet Death is a menace. It deals +10 nature damage and has a 55% chance to instantly kill non-elite targets at 20% total health or less - per hit. For bombs I tend to use Soulrot bomb (+80 AOE damage to all creatures) and because it has friendly-fire possible, I usually put my party on hold, run up to them and throw it (having max survival skill helps for the early detection so you can set it up).
@@theinquisitorisamage1653 The damage does, but no instant kill effects work against "final boss" types. It will against mini bosses though. So basically anything with a super health bar like Flemeth, etc. is a no. Anything with a yellow name bar like ogres, alphas, etc. yes. I usually don't craft a whole lot for the sake of bag space. My strategy is usually to quick save before combat, run up to see what's in the mob, then quick load and craft for that fight.
@@dexternelson Thank you so much! And yeah, bag-space is aggravating to deal with - I have the Ultimate Edition, so I usually make a bee-line to Solider's Peak to get the storage box after leaving Lothering. I don't tend to craft as much unless I need to, and it's usually health/lyrium potions. I never played around with poisons or traps, but I've been curious about them.
@@theinquisitorisamage1653 Actually early in the game, you can get to backpacks. In Ostagar, before you do into the wilds, you can buy one from the shop, and after you return from the wilds, before you go to the meeting it will be there again IF you have enough gold. And, the first time you go to camp with Bodan, his items are doubled like that too. First time you go to camp, and before you leave for the first time, he will have a backpack, and after you leave the first time and come back, he will have it again. The trick is to have enough crap to sell in order to have enough to buy them 3 times so early in the game. Usually I loot everything, pick pockets (not always successfully), farm all the herbs I can and use morrigan to craft potions and sell those in Lothering. Most times I have enough to get them all. And I don't go to the camp the first time until I have enough to buy it.
@@dexternelson I had no idea about Ostagar! I knew about Bodhan, because at one point I was pretty confused when I went to sell him some stuff - I think I bought the Bard Shoes or something, and there they were again. The one time I tried to pick a pocket was at Ostagar - it was Loghain's guard, and I got caught. Never tried it again after that. I know that you can sell Lyrium Potions for a good chunk of cash, but is it the same for Injury Kits? 'Cause I got a load of 'em I still haven't used up yet. If, and this is a pretty massive IF, I find an item that has a codex entry (example: that Orleasian armor you find in Orzammar, I forget what it's called) then I'll use the money-glitch to get it. I only get enough to buy the item though.
Love the build. Playing for the first time in years and hopping on hard difficulty. You really just need a little bit of good gear and a dedicated healer to shred. Just did the mages after lothering, handled great :)
So we’re 70 hours in pretty much the next day I accidentally switched to nightmare difficulty and never noticed, I’m about to finish up and goto the landsmeet rn just catching up on some side quests and god I will say I’m gonna miss playing this character when I finally get through the dlc like awakening. I’ve always went with swords but really the maul was worth the investment. I was constantly carrying the whole team even when they had better equipment, ran with alistar Templar champion wynne SH/AW and leliana bard/ranger and it’s honestly just not even fair. Jarvia was literally the only challenge after getting wynne. Gaxkang was an easy farm, all the mobs easy. I made it a dwarf and had a hard time role playing bc I was trying to have the “best endings” but that’s a consequence of being my first play through in 4 years lolol
Persuasion checks are managed by your cunning stat. Every 25 points brings you up to the next level of persuasion. Coercion gives you a bonus to persuasion as if you had 25 more points in cunning than you actually do. If you had put 3 points into cunning to bring you to 25, then you would only need three points in coercion to get you to the perfect 100 persuasion. Alternatively, if you're playing a rogue who goes all in on cunning, it's very easy to brake 100 points in Awakening, at which point you don't need coercion at all!
Nice build. Whenever I want a badass Warden, I go with Champion/Berserker. Definitely the two most useful spec for warrior! Diligence set is a good choice, same with Juggernaut or Wade's dragon armor. Lot of fun dishing out damage in heavy armor with a two handed weapon!
@@ChoppedCelery It's actually fun for me to see the Xbox version because at least I get to see the differences between pc and Xbox. Indomitable is apparently way better on pc, because when you get Shield Bashed or someone War Cries you, you dont get any effect. Not even this knock-back 18:47 that you have on Xbox.
What truly irritates me is that they don't just give you numbers on what the abilities do! I could make a good even godly build if they did but nooo I am forced to quite literally play like 3 plus playthroughs to find out what each does and even with scaling or what have you of weapons and attributes I'm still not getting exacts. That isn't even including mage... mage :( that is blatantly stupid of them to do and the only reason I have bothered is because Bioware made a truly amazing game yet again at the same time lmao
loving ur content very good videos, have a question tho how come you have so many points to spend, im at lvl 19 aswell and i dont have that many points on my stats
Is it normal to get your ass handed to you early in the game as a 2h warrior? I constantly died in the korcari wilds, which never happened with any other class
@@ChoppedCelery well the problem with me is that Controllers are too small for my long fingers that is why even if i play Tekken on console , i have to play it on Arcade control. Plus the level of control in consoles are very annoying.
A good alternative to the Chasind Great Maul I’d say is the Nug Crusher it may be a lower tier but you cannot deny +100 stamina
Nug Crusher is dope - I'm using it for Oghren and he just wrecks everything. Ageless is another good option.

I love your videos!!! I still play DA to this day. Will you be doing a rogue build with two swords?
Awesome vid there! Going for this one as my first ever playthrough... Even though i had this since it came out in 09 :O Thanks for the help
btw, awesome build, I personally haven't played a two hander in origins or Inquisition and this is handy to see if I do
2 hand reaver is the most fun I've had in inquisition in a long time
If possible next time please show stats like willpower without any modifiers from gear also

Yall playing through the series again too, huh?
Just wish they would release origins for PS4 already

Off topic but where did you get the helmet I have the armor set but not the helm
Is there anyway you can do Nightmare builds for the companions?
Great video, man, but holy hell your mic is obscenely quiet.
@@ChoppedCelery it's not just a little quiet, it is very quiet.
do you know how I might be able to find the chasind Great Maul?I've been struggling to find it
Why don't you use Wade Superior armor sets? Or even Vigilance as weapon, since it seams you're in Awakening campain?
@@ChoppedCelery Ok, sorry about Vigilance :D. What about Wade armors? Those are from the Origin campaign.
In what order of talents I should take up and what should I max out immediately
But should I focus on strength or dexterity first and when do I need to pump them out?
Also how to get the berserker specialization
Starting stats?
What stats did you invest during character creation?
Chopped Celery fair lol
How do I do the sleeping mission? My Xbox controller won’t let me change
I think he meant the fade
Is it normal to get your ass handed to you early in the game as a 2h warrior? I constantly died in the korcari wilds, which never happened with any other class
Yes
So quiet, can't hear you at all
OMG i did not know that you have to pause that much to play on console, its not very enjoyable.
