So i have to first collect companions by doing the other two quests of the dwarven people and the mage's one? ok.. on it. otherwise its totally overpowering me. also how can i use the lf root to make healing potions, i have the recipe... but do i need skills too? (the game is like a book of instructions, too many stuff to keep track of, lol.. but i'm having fun with it though.:)) )

Ogren is not that important but wayne is just too important to ignore. Wayne is also good in making potions.

^^^I just found wynne. saved before the arcane horror appears, wynne's powers are pretty good and she can make health potions too, and i kept sten away for now.... (**** , i knew the flasks were definitely for some purpose, and now i can't make a healing potion, even if i have plenty of elfroots and readymade potions in ample).

You can purchase all the stuff you need to make potions. However Id save the elfroots just in case you make a different decision along the storyline which will prohibit you from buying elfroots.

I actually never used any potion at all in the game. Wayne was more than enough for me.

Don't forget to collect all the tombs or something which will permanently increase your stats. AFAIK there are 21 of them in that fade that means a lot trust me.

Completed the fade... The level was creepy and a bit haunting, a nice experience. :)) Ghostly levels in RPGs are really good to play(Witcher 2's "In the claws of madness") gave me a similar feeling of haunting. lol But DA's levels are so much bigger, very satisfying to complete, maybe one of the reasons i am liking it(initially i was kind of meh, but now it looks very nice! :)) )

Hmm. OK. Well those 4 powers are necessasity if you want all essences. Enjoy Orzammar here you will decide the fate of orzammar and a important machine you can say.

I decided to try out the dalish camp area first... fighting the werewolves felt good :twisted:
Here is a mage who asks you to kill a tree so he can show you the way out of the forest or something. (to kill a tree?!! wtf?) anyways i agreed and went forward, found 2 ogres(alistair's finishing move is epic!) then a tombstone.. i disturb it, some very powerful creatures come, and i am dead. is disturbing the tomb mandatory? or can i complete the crazy mage's quest without doing so?
