Well I also like Rogue but only as a Archer. A rogue with 70+ dexterity deals massive damage of 100+ with a single bow and thats something. 300+ with Arrow of slaying. But a rogue as a duel wield No heck no. Why because rogue need to be in the back for max damage and against dangerous foes they don't have ability to be immune to knockdowns as a Warrior does and not to mention their low health. So a rogue Archer is real nice and a Two Handed Warrior is also very good. Deals massive damage and takes massive damage to give rogue and Mage time to deal damage and heal the Warrior.thats why i always make my hero two handed warrior
Hey guys how good looking is my Character anyway. No one gave any opinion about that to me.

after 7 days of playing DAO first time ,i found this game way too fun and interesting than DA2 .Still getting used to combat as i had practiced with DA2 a lot (played that game two times once with warrior class as default and a rogue till 40% of game ).But i am finding this game more interesting than DA2 .Only frustrating thing in it is that as a rogue class Do i always have backstab a enemy as in DA2 back stab was quick with the talent but in this i have to move my character to black area of ring to get a critical hit .can any one here give me some good tips regarding combat and y the hell r mine party members dying a lot even after keeping aggressive tactics on them and heath potion they still die...

OK first of all this game is harder than DA2 so you'll find it difficult. DA2 was a walk in park for me.
Yes you have to move your character to back for backstabbing no automatic backstabbing AFAIK. Although Cricitals will increase with Dexterity.
Configure the tactics so that they will use Health polutics if their health goes below 50% or 25% if you like. Don't make the tactics aggressive it will get them killed as they will rush to enemy.
Also its completely your call but I like a rogue archer much more than duel weapon wielding specialist. I guess I have already given enough reasons for that. I'll find and copy paste content from my previous post in DA2 thread for you.
Here see this post it might help

^^ DA2 was a lot easier to master to me.but this DAO is totally a different kind game. i think it will take some time to master it full..DAO was last on list of RPG to be played.
i have complete RPGs recently such as Witcher 1 & 2 ,DA2 and few other like them but nothing like this game. Read ur post ,very much informative but i knew most of terms such as Tanks have in the game as they r the main attention seekers for enemies .Rogue's r best damage dealers with there dual weapons and mages should always be kept at a distance so that they cast spells without any interruption.As far i know we can use both ranged weapons as well as dual weapons while playing as rogue as we 2 sets of weapons in this game .I try to use both where ever situation demands its use .
i think sten and Alister r my party main tanks as i and morrigan assume the role damage dealers.Will try to fiddle fiddle with tactics now on to see which is best one.
currently playing arl of redcliffe mission .BTW here do we buy weapons in redcliffe .i did not explore redcliffe much jumped straight to play main mission...

Thats the reason I like it most.
I personally prefer them as a archer rather than meele fighters
OK looks first of all don't invest in both Archer and Duel weapon trees. That would be waste just be expert in one and you are good. Well its completely personal opinion as what you take as best damage dealers. Rogues are good but I prefer warriors because of their health and ability to wear massive armor thus greater probability to stand longer in the battle.
Alistar could be tank but Sten is more of a aggressive damage dealer than a tank. Where is your healer ???
No traders here are not good. You'll find best traders in Denerim market. I actually never bought a single thing in entire game apart from all the backpacks I can.

Just kept these tactics for morrigan as she will be my healer.
the main strategy which i follow and have learned from DA2 is is that when ever enemy is detected i press hold then pause then i look for any choke point in the map if there r many enemies or when combat is done interior or indoor area i position my tank on the doorway kept morrigan at a distance and keep sten with me so at all enemies r focused on alister then i and stn do the damage on the flanks.Pause and give orders r the root of the effective combat.

he has good face but i always prefer long hair.
Neck should be more thick.
Facial hair are nice. I don't like a clean shave warrior.

If you want Morrigan as your healer then be sure to give her Spirit healer specialization ASAP because group heal, lifeward and revival are keys to healing which are only available with that specialization.
Your tactics are good enough for Morrigan and other players also.
Finally got the best of everything. Best Armor, best weapon and everything. Well Sentinel Armor is best overall armor but now I am using combination of other armors to get best result.
Now just one quest means all side quests and companion quests are complete. Now time to go to war and end this game and free my 30GB hard disk space.

Thanks. I usually prefer shorter hair.

Finally killed the archdemon and the battle turned out to be a one-sided affair as I had stocked up with a lot of health poultices and lyrium potions. So I'm a bit disappointed as I expected much more from a tainted god. But never mind coz I am starting Awakening now after making this post...expecting a greater challenge.

Actually I killed Archdemon with nothing but just ballista or something like that. None of my crew used a single Health Polutics. Spirit Healer was more than enough for two tanks holding the attention.
I have completed Awakening 2 days ago I guess. Boss battle was good. 4 Dragons to slay there given the condition that you are able to awake one of them as a side quest.
Also I have completed Dragon Age Origins completely I mean each and every DLC and all. I tried to play as Darkspawns but never liked but still played for some time but didn't completed that. Each and everything completed now I am waiting for Dragon Age 3 hoping that it will not be as Dragon Age 2 and will continue the story of Warden rather than Hawke.

No matter what you do he is easy if you know the trick. I beat her on Nightmare difficulty with all 4 survivors and no support from any armies I could use ans no Health Polutics. She is just very simple thats it. High Dragon is much harder than her.Bingo ... You may try to raise difficulty

LOL I didn't use any health poultices either. Everything I stocked up was rendered useless except that Wynne used up to something like 20 lesser lyrium potions and that was enough to keep my party up n running.
I could do that but unfortunately after starting Awakening all my Origins' savegames are gone.
