Sloth Demon? Are you at the mage tower? If so your moving along nicely.



What are your thoughts on the game so far? The best spiritual sucessor that the Baldur's Gate saga could ever have. Amazing and enthralling story so far, immersive world (The codex is a gem), the combat system melds the best of the NWN and KOTOR systems and the difficulty is really great for those who like hard combats that really make you think and plan different strategies.

Who are you? (Race & Job)  Human, Male, Warrior (My first specialization is Templar and i'm waiting to get Champion)

Who's in your party right now....umm answer this wisely, no spoilers please!! I'm 45 hours into the game, done two of the major quests and now i'm on the Orzammar, doing the Othran Thrall part of the Deep Roads. My party consists of my MC which is the Tank (With over 350 HP and The Juggernaut Massive Armour set), Morrigan as my main nuker/secondary DPS when mana runs low and shapeshifst into the ultimate form of the Bear, Wynne as my main healer/Buffer/secondary nuker with Arcane Warrior second specialization and Leliana which is my Rogue/Assasin, which easily deals damage from afar with the Fael'Dun Longbow or stealthy backstabs with my Dragonspike with two Grandmaster Hail Runes.

IF you have finished it what would you rate the game? -- Not finished it yet

Are you doing side quests or just doing the main mission? -- I'm doing everything that I can possibly do in the first run, all side-quests plus DLC (which was free due to it being the Limited Edition of the game)

are you acting evil or good? -- I'm going for a D&D schematics on this one, i'm trying to play this as a Lawful Neutral character, being that I'm trying to get a love relationship with Morrigan and a more Lawful good character would only end in taking points away in Character - to - Character interactions during crucial dialogues.

yeah

I had choices

(spoilers....highlight to view whats written),

kill the arls wife, or kill her son, or get the mages from the tower

I choose to get the mages from the tower, I had to go to the tower to get their help anyway later on (well thats what the quest thing said anyway), so might as well shoot two birds with one stone

but ofcourse its not that simple as the mages were in trouble lol

so I decided to help them, against morrigans dear's (yeah we'r in a relationship) wishes

& here I am in the fade (again)

Good luck with the Sloth Demon's fight. I recommend bringing a lot of Frost Salves or Frost crystals to protect your party, since it's the longest fight you'll have in the game, as the boss goes through four different stages and the last one can kill you from the start with Blizzard/Chain Lightning combo.

I HATE the fade parts. Not ganna get into why i just hate them lol.

I also got a Dragon scale from the dragon i killed and now have a full set of dragon scale armor i had made for me. Its crazy good but i need 42 str to wear it lol.

Can u tell me how u do thoes spoiler type hide thingy please lol. Thanks



@lestatdark

hmmm..I'll be continuing tomorrow or day after

thanks for the luck

TBH so far its been easy

I'ma mage & I keep on using Tempest.....so the lightning attack stays & weakens enemies

The sloth demon sounds hard though....I'll have to be more strategic this time!

also about Frost Salves & Crystals.....I'm terrible at using the items in this game, I have never used an item so far..lol

I'm just using magic!

The hardest part i had, in the beging, was wolves. There was a random attack event and there like 10 of them. They do an overpower move and get you on the ground and u cant get up lol. But i was a real noob at that time and i owned them on my 2nd playthrough lol.

Its not really a hard game if you use your brains, although the dragons can be tough. They have fun "special" moves.

I have also heard that the console versions werre made easyer, so if u got it on PS3 maby thats something?
