Dragon Age: Origins - Guides

Post by Shir'le E. Illios »

There are a couple of guides available online for Dragon Age: Origins.

The first is a (spoiler-free) [url=http://greywardens.com/newbie-guide/:3fe1utjm]Newbie Guide[/url:3fe1utjm] over at GreyWardens.com. These are a couple of simple tips to get the most out of playing. Here's an excerpt:

[quote:3fe1utjm]2. [b:3fe1utjm]Don’t be afraid to play on “casual.”[/b:3fe1utjm]
No one will think less of you. Normal can be challenging at times. You can change the difficulty at any time during the game via the options.

3. [b:3fe1utjm]Pay attention to your party member’s abilities.[/b:3fe1utjm]
For example, do not give Alistair a two handed sword when all his abilities are sword & shield. That isn’t to say you can’t start giving them other specialties, but it’s better to work with what they have.[/quote:3fe1utjm]
The second is [url=http://guides.gamepressure.com/dragonag ... /:3fe1utjm]a far more extensive guide[/url:3fe1utjm], in fact pretty much a full walkthrough, over at GamePressure. Since it's a walkthrough it's obviously full of spoilers, but can be helpful if you're stuck somewhere. Here's a (non-spoiler) excerpt from the introduction:

[quote:3fe1utjm]This main guide to Dragon Age: Origins video game contains a detailed info on primary and secondary quests available in the game. Each quest has been described thoroughly. Possible solutions are shown and ways to defeat enemies are described.
All the quests in this guide have been divided into four main categories:

The first category contains all six origins stories played immediately after a new hero has been created (player is allowed to choose a story depending on race and class).

The second category contains all main quests tied to the Plague issue. Their completion is required to reach one of the endings of the game.

The third category contains all quests tied to certain locations. Some of these assignments are mandatory and some of them are optional.

The final fourth category contains small quests given to the main character by members of different guilds and organizations.
This game guide is also offering more than 80 large maps of certain areas of Ferelden and their role is to make the process of finding items, NPC’s and monsters easier.[/quote:3fe1utjm]
They note that they'll have a pdf version available next week.
