I beat Dragon Age as a mage and now Im playing as a rogue. I have to say though - this game is really unbalanced.
Mages are too powerful. I had magic to paralyse enemies (including bosses), heal and do some major damage.
My rogue has 2 swords and a couple of tricks that run out quickly.
How can there not be potion to restore stamina?
I know they put it in Awakening, but it should have been on the main game.
Still a great game, I just hope they balance more for the 2nd (from what I have heard so far, they have done it a bit)
