    Hmmm...
    Well I can run it on max settings, runs no problem.

    Graphics card gets to 106 degrees though. Starts sketching out a little.
    incase anyone cares i underclocked the hottest processor on the card by a fair bit and left the other gpu as it was and its now running at more than cool temps and the game still runs fine.

    i don't know why i'm even bothering to edit this post to say that

    The dialog between Wynne and Zevran is just hilarious... he thinks she's a total GILF, and she'll have none of it.

    He's willing to fuck anything walking on two legs, and probably some things walking on more, and I can appreciate that.

    So, seeing as mages have such a large variety of ways to be played, I'm not sure how to play my main character, and morrigan.

    I was thinking my main as a mass aoe mass dmg char, and making morrigan into a healer, but morrigan only just got heal, and has mind blast, which is nice to use often.

    I don't really want to make my main char into the healer, because I play healer on WoW and would like a change.

    What are some good aoe mass dmg builds and is it a good idea making morrigan main healer or is that just a waste of her abilities.

    You'll get a more dedicated healer character soon enough. That said, both Morrigan and your mage should at least have the basic heal spell, as should every mage.

    Ya they both have them, I'm talking more about the general direction I'm going to send them in, spellwise.

    But seeing as I get a more dedicated healer soon, I'll just wait until then I think.
    But that leaves me with 3 casters . I was hoping a 2/2 split.

    5 party would have been perfect.

    Err... why do you *have* to have Morrigan in your party?

    I got rid of her when I got the healer character. My main is the primary DPS/debuffer mage and the other character is the primary healer/buffer.

    The typical party makeup is 2 mages, 1 rogue, and 1 warrior. You could do without the rogue if you want 2 warriors. And if are plucky enough to make your mages into 4 Arcane Warriors, well then you can just throw the rest of your party out cause you will FUCK SHIT UP and they won't be able to touch you.

    ...but before that, you need 2 melee, and one has to be a Warrior to tank.

    Well even beyond that, really Health Poultices are much better than Heal spells if you have enough ingredients. However, it's nice to have a Spirit Healer with Group Heal and Revive in case you fuck up.

    I don't remember how I did it since that was a while ago. If the revenant is yellow, you can probably use a mage spell to lock it down, like Crushing Prison, Petrify, Force Field, etc. If you can use such a spell on him, then lock him down with that spell and kill the other enemies. Then focus on him.

    If you don't have one of those mage spells (which you SHOULD have), then you better focus fire the revenant first with your entire party and pop Health Poultices like there's no tomorrow. Burn all your cooldowns and pop haste potions and rock-whatever potions; use everything to kill him. Then kill the rest.

    Lulz, well that sucks. In that case in options lower the difficulty, kill him, and raise the difficulty back up after you're done.

    yeah thats what i just did.
    it was far too easy lol.

    i think maybe i should have some better gear by now, or i'm just shit at this game.

    edit: OOOOOOooooooooOOooooooooooo.... so i assume wynne is that new healer char you were talking about.
    i just got her, not really looked at skills or anything like that yet, but i have noticed she has 3 4 and a res healing spells.
    fucking sweet.

    well, shes now a permenant.

    i'm also getting more and more tempted to go 4 arcane warriors, and FUCK SOME SHIT UP.
    you got me thinking about it.

    Yeah so do i, but easy really is too easy imo.

    Also, I've been reading into arcane warrior, and does it really limit you to auto attack that much? isn't a mage kinda much worse for that? even if you can't be killed, so boring?

    i want to be throwing cool looking spells around, making them explode, massive aoe attacks everywhere...
    can't i have that and not be killed instantly?

    also can't i just have arcane warrior, and use a staff with plate?

    Haha, yes, Wynne was who I was talking about.

    However, I'm trying the game now without Wynne but with a buttload of Healing Poultices, as they heal for about twice as much as the Heal spell. I think early on the game would be extremely difficult without Heal, but later it's not so necessary.

    I'm missing Revive and Group Heal a lot. I am also missing Zevran's lewd attempts to seduce Wynne and her indignation.

    Well, hold on now. Arcane Warriors do not HAVE to be auto-attack monsters; they can also be spell casters as well. It's just that if you want them to be casters rather than auto-attackers, you'll have to stick to a staff rather than a sword. That's because a large number of spells can't be cast with a sword equipped.

    So yeah, you can just keep using a staff with plate, and then you'll still be a pure caster... but encased in armor

    The one thing being an Arcane Warrior does is that it takes away one of the mage's greatest weaknesses, namely their squishiness. Of course, there's fatigue to worry about it if you wear heavier armors, but that's not really big deal.

    Arcane Warriors are strong, but according to some people they aren't mindblowingly stupid powerful until you also give them Blood Magic. About Blood Magic:

    well wynne makes things a lot easier...now i dont have to keep using the heal spell with one of my dpsers..things are seeming to die a lot quicker now \o/

    yeah bout the arcane warrior, i am thnking i will do that and keep staffs...although i hope there are some mageish looking plate armour? it would be lame to look like a warrior as a mage.

    i would go blood but i haven't really been putting many points in const, so meh...ill go arcane warrior..i like the sound of that better tbh
    also about fatigue...i know it increases the amount of mana/whatever per skill, but does it hinder you that much? how noticeible is it?

    lol you got me there until i read the last line.
    i was getting more and more worried as i read.

    but yeah...when do i unlock arcane warrior? is it done in the storyline, or do i need to go off and do it? cos i've had the point a while now, but not unlocked any of them...

    quick googling told me its when i go to talk to the elves or something.
    confirm/deny

    i imagine confirm, since i haven't talked to them yet

    um, that's not an elven city... that's denerim, the capital of the human kingdom of ferelden.

    the elves don't have a homeland anymore. the only free elves are the dalish elves that live in the wilderness.

    i take it you haven't been paying attention to the dialog or the codex?

    i am loving the codex thing though, theres loads to read. i think i've read all of the ones i have so far.
    also i'm kind of offended you would assume i wouldn't be paying attention to the dialog and codex :P

    Hey, I only assumed that because you called Denerim an "elven city"

    But yeah, the Codex is actually pretty awesome. I haven't been reading all the entries recently, so I should get caught up on it.

    Yeah, I think it was just the name, it sounds like an elven city to me.

    I like the codex because in games like this, there is usually a lot of lore and you really have to read everything a few times until you got a good idea, but the codex saves it alll for you in little notes for you to re read and catch up on.

    Did you do the secret summoning quest in te circle of magi? couldn't do that without the codex

    why's that, pray tell?

    granted it isn't all that i was hoping it to be or thought it would be when i first started playing it. however, i'm still enjoying it.

    (preemptive "oh well that isn't a problem on the pc version," as i am a fan-boi.)

    I think the voice acting is pretty decent.

    And yes there is a lot of talking, its an RPG.

    If you don't like stories then why bother lol.

    Just got my copy yesterday for the 360. Graphics are fucking shite for a recent 360 game, but I don't care. Rolled a mage, taking the healer route atm. Not far into it, just got Morrigan. Need to do some leveling to make Alastair a better tank. It is pretty decent so far.

    Yeah, talking is fine except that there are nine fucking novels transcribed in the game and frankly, if I can't get through even basic information dump conversations quickly that don't directly pertain to anything I need to actually advance the game, then it's a complete fucking waste of time. At the very least, subtitles and a fast forward would be nice, but unfortunately without subtitles, the fast forward makes you miss everything except for the last sentence. Great.

    I'm trying to get into it. I just left the mage tower. I might even end up enjoying it. But it's 2009 and BioWare has been doing this for 15 years how are they not getting that it's a major gameplay flaw. It's one thing in an action title like Uncharted to do this, but in an RPG that's already requiring a God-awful amount of time? Fuck that.

    And ShitFace, you're an idiot. The voice acting would miserable even if they had bothered to try to map it to the character models. I didn't buy a nextgen console and a 2009 release to have the uncanny valley throw up on me.
