Dragon Age: Origins Tips and Walkthrough Dragon Age: Origins Tips and Walkthrough Tips and Hints Mages Mages are the most powerful class in the game. Two mages (one for healing, one for damage) would be ideal, but some may opt for only one mage. If you don't have at least one mage, then Dragon Age is extremely difficult, if not impossible to beat. As a corollary to "mages are great," enemy mages are incredibly dangerous. Always target and kill them first, ideally from a distance. They are weak enough that they will go down fast if every character focuses on them with arrows and magic. Rogues If you don't have a rogue in your party, you will miss a lot of treasure due to your inability to pick locks. It's not strictly necessary, but it's something to consider when building your party. Statistical Advantages Certain stats benefit certain characters. For a tank, focus on strength and constitution. Mages will want magic, willpower and cunning. Anyone who uses archery or dual wields will love dexterity, and that goes double for Rogues. Many weapons require a certain stat to be able to wield properly, so make sure to take note of that and distribute your numbers accordingly. The characters who join your party all have certain specializations built in. Sten and Oghren are two-handed damage dealers, while Alistair is naturally a tank. Morrigan is a damage dealing mage, while Wynne heals. It's possible to shift their specializations somewhat and follow other skill trees, but you may find yourself with a weak, watered-down character. Plan Ahead Develop a plan for your character and stick with it. Review each skill tree, and jot down the ones that fit the best with your particularl strategy for that character. For instance, tanks will taunt, while mages will want spells that restore mana or unleash healing for the entire party. If you're aware of these abilities, you are less apt to make poor choices when building up. Dragon Age features a ton of different options, but it's also a game where a few simple strategies will save you a ton of grief. These tips and strategies will serve you well in every battle you will fight, from fighting the lowliest Genlock, to the final rumble with the Archdemon himself. Balanced Party Try to build a balanced party. Three warriors with the same abilities don't really complement each other and will have a tough time in battle. Ideally, every tank will have a healing mage, two damage dealers (DPS, or damage per second) and a tank to keep the bad guys busy while everyone else attacks. Persuasion Persuasion is incredibly useful. With a high enough cunning stat, and enough talent points in Coercion, you can avoid many fights and help yourself out a great deal. As an early example, enough cunning and persuasion will actually convince the brigands in Lothering to pay you, rather than the other other way around. Collect Recipes Try to get recipes for things like lyium and health poultices early. You can find the lyrium recipe in the mage tower, and all the flasks you need from your camp vendor. Simply purchasing the curatives you need will get expensive fast. Battle Strategies If an enemy's name is white, they are weak and susceptible to things like being frozen and shattered. If their name is yellow, they are a ranked leader, and much more resistant to various spells and abilities. Alphas are the strongest of the darkspawn mooks, and should be focused upon last. As a general rule, target the guys with the white names first. Exceptions to the "target the weaker guys first" rule: Golems, Drakes, Dragons and Ogres are insanely dangerous, and will decimate your party if left alone. If you can't freeze them or keep them occupied with a tank, then focus fire on them to get them out of the way. When fighting a horde, learn to lock down the strongest enemy characters. There are a variety of ways to do that -- Abilities Pommel Strike, Riposte and Dirty Fighting and spells like Winter's Grasp, Cone of Cold and Force Field all work very well. Without a powerful Alpha (or even a boss) in your hair, you're free to take down the lesser bad guys. Lure Small Groups If you can, always try to lure small groups of foes at you so that you can pick them off. If you rush at a bad guy, there's an excellent chance that many more enemies will appear all around you, and that you will die. Harrassing bad guys and luring them in, or "aggro," ensures that you won't flanked, which is the worst possible situation in Dragon Age. Occasionally, two groups of enemies will suddenly appear and rush from either side. At that point, find a wall or a corner as fast as posssible so that they can't attack from behind. This will enable you to direct spells and melee attacks much better, and keep them from overwhelming you. This is particularly important when facing rogues and assassins, both of whom are capable of dealing massive damage by sneaking up behind your characters and backstabbing them. Area of Effect Spells Area of Effect ("AoE") spells like Blizzard, Inferno, Cone of Cold and Fireball are your best friends. Fireball will knock everyone down and set them on fire, and deals devastating damage to archers in the rear (which are quite annoying in the later portions of the game). Blizzard freezes a massive group of bad guys and keeps them off-balance for a long period of time. Inferno does the same, but with fire. Cone of Cold is the best of them though. It will freeze any enemy (even the Archdemon!) for a period of time, and it makes unranked bad guys susceptible to being shattered with powerful attacks like Punisher and Assault or spells like Stone Fist. It can also be used to constantly lock down a powerful boss, allowing your characters to hammer on them while they can't move, or to focus on other bad guys. Best of all, it's recharge time is extremely quick! One spell tree that isn't quite as helpful are the earth-based spells. Most foes resist Earthquake, and spells like Rock Armor only help the caster. Stone Fist is a good spell to have, but you're much better off focusing on fire and ice. Besides, Wynne -- who will probably be your main healing mage -- starts off with Stone Fist. If you don't have reliable AoE spells, then it can be beneficial to set up a "gauntlet." Even without specific archery abilities, focus firing on bad guys as they approach using bows and normal attacks can severely injure or even kill them on approach. If you have Cone of Cold, try to set it up so the bad guy will be filled with arrows as they approach, then frozen and possibly shattered when they get too close. Obviously, it doesn't work if you're suddenly surrounded, but if you see a large crowd of bad guys at a distance, it's best to try and snipe them down first. Quest Order In general, you're free to do the main quests in which you recruit the armies in any order you'd like. However, leave Orzammar for last or second to last. It's not only incredibly long, it features two of the toughest boss battles in the game. In fact, the final boss battle in Orzammar is even tougher than the final battle with the Archdemon, even with good spells and abilities to back you up. Walkthrough Part One: Ostagar No matter which origin you choose, you will eventually end up in Ostagar. Here you will undergo your basic Grey Warden initiation while meeting Alistair, a former Templar. After your first mission and initiation, the invasion truly begins. Ostagar Your first order of business will be to meet with King Cailan and Duncan. There you will learn of their basic plan of attack against the Darkspawn. Afterward, you are free to spend some time walking around the camp. A soldier will give you some basic directions and then it's off on your own. Go find Alistair, who is busy arguing with a mage. Alistair will be the first character to join your party and makes for a very good tank no matter which class you choose. If you plan to keep him in your party, his points are best invested in the shield and sword skills. When you're ready, go back to Duncan, who is standing near the temple in the upper left-hand corner of the map. He will assign you to find three vials of Darkspawn blood, which will be used in your initiation. Alistair and a couple other initiates will give you a hand. Korcari Wilds Set off into the wilds, where you will encounter several batches of wolves in addition to Darkspawn like Hurlocks and Genlocks. Among the tougher enemies are a Hurlock Alpha and a Hurlock Emissary, the latter of which likes to cast irritating magic. However, they will pose little obstacle when it comes to collecting the vials of blood. With the Darkspawn dealt with and the vials of blood obtained, continue on down the path to find the Grey Warden cache. There you will encounter Morrigan for the first time, who will take you to meet her mother Flemeth who has what you need. Be polite to her and she'll eventually give you the scrolls.

  • Flemeth of Dragon Age
    JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE RESEARCH IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY Copyright © The Author, 2015 Volume 6, Number 2, Winter 2015 ISSN 2068 – 0317 http://compaso.eu Powerful elderly characters in video games: Flemeth of Dragon Age Elisabeta Toma1 Abstract As games are becoming an increasingly popular medium in various demographic and professional strata, scholars are discussing their content and how they shape society. However, despite an increase in gender analysis of video games, little has been written about orienting games towards an elderly audience, or game representations of aging and older persons. Games specifically designed for older persons are focused on improving cognitive functions, starting from the assumption that the elderly are in need of special games in order to repair age-related deficits. This repair-focused design philosophy comes at the expense of pursuing a broader understanding of quality of life and non-programmatic entertainment. Games-for-fun that also explicitly target the elderly as an audience are almost invisible. In this article we turn our attention to a powerful elderly feminine character in an AAA game designed for entertainment without a serious mission, namely Flemeth from Dragon Age. We discuss how the game depicts and models older characters: What repertoire of portraits has Flemeth as an old woman, in the Dragon Age games? How does Flemeth contribute to an enlarged repertoire of portrayals of old women in video games? We conclude that Flemeth’s gender and age displays in Dragon Age do not impoverish her portrayal but, on the contrary, turn her into a powerful and complex character, thus offering a model for game design to represent and invite older players.

Ada: A Journal of Gender, New Media, and Technology ISSN 2325-0496 Ada: A Journal of Gender, New Media, and Technology Issue no. 1 Confronting toxic gamer culture: A challenge for feminist game studies scholars Mia Consalvo Concordia University With increasing frequency the ugliness of gamer culture is being put on display for the wider world to see. While I was writing this piece, for example, a Canadian blogger created a game where one can punch and bruise the face of Anita Sarkeesian, creator of the popular website Feminist Frequency: Conversations with Pop Culture (Spurr, 2012). The game was in response to news of her Kickstarter campaign, where she proposed investigating portrayals of women in videogames over the past few decades. The game was only the latest in a string of attacks on Sarkeesian for her proposed project: she also received death threats, had her Wikipedia page defaced with pornographic imagery, and was repeatedly harassed on the Kickstarter page and elsewhere. About a month prior to that, in June 2012 a controversy erupted about Lara Croft’s alleged past in the latest Tomb Raider game, where sexual assault had helped form her character according to one of the game’s developers (Schreier, 2012). In May, the annual videogame expo E3 became the topic of controversy when multiple sources declared it a space hostile to women and juvenile in its approach to games (Alexander, 2012; Williams, 2012).

  • Europa Universalis Iv As a Catalyst for Worldbuilding
    WORLDBUILDING INSIDE A BOX: EUROPA UNIVERSALIS IV AS A CATALYST FOR WORLDBUILDING JAYHANT SAULOG School of Design and Informatics Abertay University (May 2018) ABSTRACT Worldbuilding (the practice of creating fictional worlds) faces a unique challenge due to video games’ interactive nature, especially regarding sandbox games and non-linear narratives: how does one build a world in a genre so inherently pervasive? Where the player can be anyone and travel anywhere at any time? Where the game is less driven by the main story (or even lacking it completely), and instead leaves the world and setting to stand on its own? However, with the right platform, the pervasive nature of the sandbox genre can act as a catalyst to work to the worldbuilder’s advantage. When the platform asks questions, the worldbuilder is called to answer, and from this a development loop occurs resulting in a fleshed-out world that truly works in cooperation with the game. The research will seek to uncover the effectiveness of using the sandbox-strategy game Europa Universalis IV as a catalyst in the creation of a fantasy setting. The practical-led research will be twofold: the development of a game mod and the development of the world it will be set in. In addition to the main case study above, the research will look at existing literature on worldbuilding as well as a comparative approach on how other successful games have worldbuilt their settings. Keywords: worldbuilding, narrative, strategy, exposition, sandbox, secondary belief PREFACE I first started worldbuilding back in 2014 for the game Europa Universalis IV, set around an event called the Blackpowder Rebellion: an 18th century fantasy setting in which the commonfolk led a revolution against their magical masters with the help of gunpowder weapons.

  • Rewriting the Story: Videogames Within the Post-Gamergate Society
    Jones 1 Abigail Jones English 4995 Joanna Hearne Rewriting the Story: Videogames within the Post-Gamergate Society “Begin like this: If photographs are images, and films are moving images, then video games are actions.” - Gaming: Essays on Algorithmic Culture, Alexander Galloway Staring through the scope in Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2007), as you navigate through the boggy swamps of some exotic jungle, there is never any doubt that you are in control. The operator’s thumbs roll over the toggles of the controller signaling to the consul how the character on screen must move. By enacting actions within the real world, players affect the actions of the avatar within the game world. To any well-versed videogame player, this is common knowledge; when one plays a videogame it is to be engaged within the world of the game and to ultimately achieve the programmed goal of the game. Up until the creation of the videogame, mediums of entertainment were largely spectator based. While reading a book you may turn the page, but you do not affect the ending of the book. When viewing a movie you may be actively watching, but you are not able to change the ending of the movie. But when playing a videogame the decisions made within the game determine whether the goal is reached, or if it is not: game over. In Alexander Galloway’s essay, “Gaming: Essays on Algorithmic Culture,” he defines videogames as a medium based upon action; “There has emerged in recent years a whole new medium, computers and in particular videogames, whose foundation is not in looking and reading but in the instigation of material change through action.” It is this Jones 2 action that appeals to players--the level of interactivity and agency.
