DA:O Is pretty fun. It would be awesome if people posted their characters here. like mine is a dwarf (noble) warrior berserker/champion shield specialization. Or you could just talk about what you liked/disliked about the game of course. I didnt like the bajazillion glitches I encountered. And use spoiler tags for spoilars please.

I just took a break because

I just took a break because it's so late, but I'm about to beat the game/do the final dungeon. I don't think any game before this one has ever prompted me to want to get all the achievements, let alone get through as thoroughly as I have in this.

My first playthrough is a city elf warrior. He's pretty good, in general. My standard companions are Alistair, Wynne, and Leliana(also love interest)

My next playthrough will be all evil and such, probably as a mage, with Shale and Oghren in my party, plus maybe Leliana again.

Then I'll do one as a LADY rogue, probably human noble, and I'll go all into the Alistair story line... with Alistair in the party, plus whoever turns out to be the most awesome of the other companions... probably Oghren and Wynne.

One of these days I really need to finish this damn game. My first character encountered a glitch after

the landsmeet

and I couldnt advance. So now im replaying it and focusing on getting 100 with as many companions as possible. Shale,alistar,morrigan,wynne and the dog are easy peasy

oghren can be annoying if you try to raise your level without just giving him liquor

I've noticed there's a lot more glitches towards the end of the game... I got stuck in this Alienage orphanage quest a few times, had to back up to prior saves.

I'm going to beat the game tonight, I'm sure.

I had alistar and anora marry,had the baby with morrigan,and chose to chase after her.

Now I get to work on my rouge and my mage and my two other warriors.

i'm a female city elf rogue, specialization double wielding assassination xD basically a female version of zev, lol. I LOVE THIS GAME <3 and i can't wait for the new dlc <3

i got the ending where

Spoiler: Highlight to view
alistair became king after making morrigan preggo, anora's locked up (lol) and i stayed with zev in denerim happily ever after \o/

which was pretty much what i wanted :D i think if i replay i'll do it as a female again.. i loved my char :D the only thing that sucks is that i can't sleep with morrigan T_T does anyone know if there's a mod for that? since there's one for alistair to go gay.. :D

either the ppl at the wiki don't know what they're talking about, or there's something strange with my copy of the game.

Do you mean the expansion? That's actually going to be a retail game, though you will most likely be able to download it.

I'm going to use my warrior city elf for the expansion, then also try the new character, because I imagine he has his own origin story. I'd also like to play out that part evil, with

Spoiler: Highlight to view
Loghain still alive and Anora as queen, so I'll get a character ready for that. In that scenario, I'll want to be romancing Morrigan to see how that baby stuff works out, or if she ever wants you around.

I took a break from my second playthrough to thoroughly enjoy Arkham Asylum, but now that that's done, I'll probably get back into it tonight.

Wow, I should read codex more. But, *pat on back* I figured it out with deductive reasoning!

Spoiler: Highlight to view
The whole part leading up to the broodmother was what I found so disturbing, and then Branka's behavior leading up to the end of that segment. I was actually able to settle my emotions a bit when I saw the broodmother, because I started laughing my ass off. Considering the other darkspawn all look so decayed and gnarly, I would have expected that which spawns them to be similarly blackened and nasty. But then, it's tihs fleshy Jabba the Hutt with dead hand (from oot) tentacles that just... is funny. But the notion that thing used to be a dwarf? I could hardly believe I was playing a game and not participating in some Lovecraftian pen and paper game.

just started a human character. Im hoping there will be more storyline entwined into the main plot then with the other backgrounds. Since humans have one less background to choose from.

(well elves really have one more but I think the plot is the same for mages no matter what race)

That does seem to be the case, considering one of the main enemies is present in the human noble origin. I am rather curious to see what happens with the brother, or if you ever get to go back to that starting location.

Something about how he just happened to have to leave early,right before howe comes in and makes your base his. And how he just happened to be in the kocari wilds when ostagar went to hell makes me think he knew what was going on.

Well when you get to ostagar duncan says that fergus is out in the wilds scouting with his troops,so you never see him. I checked the DA wiki and I was wrong....guess I was just looking for plot twists.

So much spoiler tags lols :P

So much spoiler tags lols :P And alot of talk about gayness have I really arrived at the right topic? O_O

I have a 15lvl Warrior Archer cityelf. No specialazions... since I haven't figured out what would be good with this epic fail of a character I created.

I've been tempted to start a new character since the first 10hours into playing... but thought then the 10hours would go to waste... and now I've played around 30hours.. if I remember correctly :P And STILL WANNA START A NEW >_> <_<

I restarted my first

I restarted my first character after about 10 hours or so, because I didn't like his face. At first I just wanted to try other origin stories, then I did the city elf's and found myself totally loving it. The character looked like a badass, and I felt like he was a badass, so I ended up redoing everything up to that point, at first thinking I'd go back to my other character, but never doing so.

30 hours is a long time in Dragon Age. At this point, you might as well keep going, or you may never finish the game. Just remember how awesome your dude was at the beginning, and you'll get another chance to be the hero of your brethren towards the end of the game.
