Drac-

Yes, that is what I am looking for and I found one on their space for $39.00, I went to gogamer first but they are out of all of them, but their price is better.

Thanks so much

From RPGWatch comes news of new DLC 'Return to Ostagar' - link below:

http://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9199

You'll get a second chance to get Dog as well as learn something about the politcal musings in Ferelden.

The DLC is (very short), about an hour, it seems, or even 15-30 minutes, if you speedrun.

Bioware ask 5 US dollars for this which you see here

Personally, I don't plan to get this as a download...

I bought the retail version, and my Stone Prisoner took a mere few seconds to redeem and download. ..and it's certainly been worth it!

Since I wanted to get to know all my companions first, I didn't bother with doing The Stone Prisoner quest early on in the game, but it's been an interesting distraction to go and fetch him, and his banter with the party members certainly is a hoot! So, yes, -worth working on.

Debra, I did the Fade (do you mean the Mage's Circle quest?) without a walkthrough, but I admit the maze aspect was pretty frustrating.

What was extremely fun though,

Thanks for the feedback, Karsten, I have not done the Dwarf City yet, that is my next stop in the game. So I'm crossing fingers I won't have any problems there.

Moondancer, I am never good at mazes so the WT was necessary. I agree with your spoiler. Very different!
I'm in Denerrim (sp?) now working on the Urn of Ashes and about 6 more Chantry quests.
Did anyone download the Warden's Keep? Is it worth it for a place to keep your stuff?

As for the Warden's Keep, word on the Bioware forums and the Social Site is that it is not worth getting if you (just) want a place to store your stuff.

It's fairly short, too - maybe 1½-2 hours total.
And you can get a storage chest added to your camp site by going to the projects (mod) site at the Bioware Social Site. Also, there is a Dragon Age Nexus site up now.

If you get Warden's Keep, you will get a very good armour, some experience and some additional talents and skill, I think?

I've just loaded the game and am experimenting a little. I've created a human noble and chose stealing as one of my skills. However, I have come across some doors and chests that I can't open. Is there such a skill as lockpicking? I didn't notice one but I might have missed it.

That has frustrated me too. I finally went to the DA forums and found that you can't open the chests until you get a Rogue in your party.

...and sometimes after, too. My party's only rogue has maximum lockpicking skills and cunning at about 28, and he STILL can only open about 85% of the chests we run across.

Of course, if I hadn't MISSED one of the playable characters early in the game, I probably wouldn't be having this problem now...

Thanks Karsten for the chest and Warden's Keep info. I'll go to the Bioware site and look for that mod that adds a chest to the party camp.
Demostenes, I agree with you about lockpicking! I wish you could bash the chests even if you might destroy some of the stuff in it if everyone can't learn the lockpicking skill.

I've just started and am playing as a Dalish Elf Warrior. Finished the cave with the spiders and all and was transported back to the elf camp. The game looks great but I am having a recurrent Nvidia error, "Nvidia_nv4 has stopped responding". Hope I am able to continue since the game looks great.

Hey, that's my main too! My character is a female though. In the end, I chose dualwielding as my main field of expertise, and I'm happy with that decision. I like that the Dalish Elf comes with a nice ranged setup though - so although I did work on her strength, the dexterity is a prerequisite for many of the dualwielding talents, so that fitted in nicely with the ranged skills.

I also played the human warrior and elfin mage and some of the city elf's origin, will try out the dwarves later. I'm too wrapped up with the main story at the moment to really care about them right now.

Well I finished the game as a City Elf Rogue and must say I am impressed with the acting the graphics and the music. The cut scenes were awesome and worth watching. One of the few games that I actually enjoyed the ending, in fact one of the few games that actually had an ending.

I had no problems whatsoever so I didn't install any patches. I only did the main quests and no side quests (other than those that fell my way).

Now that I am familiar with the game I will have a go at it again doing all the side quests so I'll be spending a lot more time.

For those interested, I have found a much more complete walkthru at gamepressure with side quests and all.

This game was worth the bucks.

Oldman, if you played as a rogue, were you able to open all/most of the chests? I'm thinking of restarting with a rogue character because I love "finding" things.

Also, can you eventually return to previous locations to open any chests that you missed? Is there some kind of fast-travel later on? I'm still fairly early in the game so I don't mind restarting if necessary.

Any Rogue can open chests. You have to invest in the skill as some get more dificult later in the game.

The game is completely open ended and you can revisit any place in the game anytime.

As far as quick travel all you have is the world map. Once you get into a city or area where there is an exit to world map you can go to any place but there are no teleports or the like.

Thanks, oldman, for the walkthrough link and great to hear you enjoyed the game so much
