Sorry for asking this here but any tips before starting DA2? I'm going in blind atm. Hope I can get through it before Inquisition launches!
I'm actually playing DA:O for the first time in anticipation for DA:I. I just started to get hyped after following the game and reading this thread. Really enjoying it so far and I plan to play DA2 as well. I'm just playing on easy tho as I mainly want to experience the story and will soon be itching to play inquisition.
Is there any DLC recommended that will be important to play (for parts 1 & 2)? If it's really relevant I may just play some DLC's too.
Also does DA:I have the same combat tactics as the first game? ie where you set your companions battle tactics up. It's quite neat although I'm no expert at it.
Just started a replay myself, though I've been through the game twice. As another poster said, if you're playing on normal (which I'd recommend if you're going in blind and hope to finish before Inquisition) there's not much to worry about.
The difficulty in this game is super front-loaded. If you find you're having trouble against the piddly bandit mobs in Low Town, don't worry, it's normal. They're some of the hardest encounters in the game, IMO, mostly because you're low on viable skills and your gear is still generic.
And there's another point, you're going to find a lot of generic gear, so never worry about buying any. The game periodically throws unique, named gear at you, and each act has a unique set of gear for Hawke's starting class that you find bits and pieces of throughout dungeons in that act. It's really the only armor worth having, so don't waste your money on anything else. Save your money for potions and weapons.

Thanks for the tip! Any class suggestion for Hawke? He/she always seemed like a rogue to me.

Also, just make Varric a permanent member of your party.

That Varric is even possible to take OUT of your party isn't a feature so much as a bug.
Hmm. I may be missing it but not seeing any heal type of spells that were speculated. Lots of debuffs and barriers though. I'm okay with this.
I played DA2 on 360 and that save file is long gone, is there a way to create a safe file on a website or something?
Varric is my persuade option.
I hope they do not nerf him in DA3.
Not really sure whether or not I want to play this on pc or what.
Does the PC version support a controller? If so, then my choice is fairly easy.
Alright, that decloaking blast sounds awesome. Is that a Knight Enhancer ability? If so, I am playing that guy.
There is one AOE heal in the Spirit tree.Hmm. I may be missing it but not seeing any heal type of spells that were speculated. Lots of debuffs and barriers though. I'm okay with this.
It does.
Knight Enchanter is gonna be the best.
These mages specialize in binding the spirits that are drawn to death. They can put the fear of death into enemies, bring spirits to fight on their behalf, and even cause devastating explosions when their enemies die.
I'm actually considering paying the $90 AUD for the digital deluxe version on Origin.
Oh yeah, I remember being able to sic Varric's charm on people.
Knight Commander is X Gonna Give It To Ya.
I only played very little of the first Dragon Age and none of the 2nd. How difficult will nightmare difficulty be? Were the other ones really frustrating? I would like to try and platinum this game and I'm not sure how good I will be with the tactics and all that. I'm getting the game regardless, but I like my trophies

Dayum, Mike's got his beast ready lol.
Be consistent in either maxing out friendship or rivalry with your companions. The worst place to be in DA2 is for a character to feel meh about you.
Rivalry doesn't mean they hate you, it just means you butt heads a lot. So don't be afraid to put someone really in the red if they are leaning that way. Some of the best conversations in the game are with rivalry companions.
What party composition are you guys planning? Trying to avoid the Grimrock trap.
Tank - 2H - Archer - Mage?
or
2H - Dagger - Mage - Mage?
