    they're arrayed around the periphery of the roof. You can turn them and fire them at the demon for 40 or so damage a pop on hard mode. It speeds up phase 1 and 3 quite a bit.

    Of course you can also never find them because the game never really tells you they're there or how to use/repair them (traps skill apparently) and win conventionally, which isn't really harder but takes more time and more potions

    Do you guys not run around with the tab key pressed? They're pretty easy to find. :P

    I found them fine on the 360, I just didn't know what to do with them. I turned one and fired it once and it was like 'blocked' and I just said forget it.

    That and I didn't have anyone with traps skill with me so I couldn't have repaired them anyway

    Repair them? You don't repair them you just turn them a few times then fire. There's no need for a Rogue.

    There's no similar button on the consoles to show all items in the room? That would be pretty shady if there wasn't.

    Also about not having to use ranged and the Bracilian Forest ruins:
    How did you guys kill that revenant(? I think that was its type) in the ruins then? It would always spawn waves of undead plus teleport when I got to close to it. I had to switch one of my warriors to a bow (even though he had no skills in it) and the other was just to keep the undead off my mages and archer guy. Did you guys keep him permanently stunned to be able to melee him?

    Is the phase 2-3 transition actually damage-dependent? I thought it was just based on how many waves of dudes you killed. I didn't do very much to him at all during P2 the first time I fought it.
    I don't think I even killed one wave of Darkspawn mobs. I retreated to one of the Ballista, set me and Alistair to tank the Mobs, had Leliana fire the ballista at the Archdemon, and Wynn just healing us as needed. I didn't even think to call an army in (though I wish I had, then maybe I wouldn't have lost both Wynn and Leliana). In the end, it was me and Alistair on either side of the archdemon hacking away and drinking potions while ignoring the Mobs.

    you apparently can use traps skill to repair them so that they can fire more than like, twice. If you can't repair them you could do almost as much damage in the time it took to run over there and back anyway

    They can break after firing a few times. If you have a rogue you can repair them and keep firing.

    After about an hour into my first run I realized you could hit the Left Trigger (or similar button on the PS3), do a 360 and find all the nearby items/people you could interact with. After that, I never went anywhere without doing that.

    In my first playthrough everyone just tried to hack away and then it all went horrible and then it was only Morrigan. I love cone of cold, life drain and lyrium potions.

    Second playthrough I just did right now (still not using sissy bows for sissy men) I used weakness, mass paralysis, cone of cold, paralysis, better healing management and, of course, had two mages so that no one died.

    when it moves, it seems to not attack through those wall things that it puts up. So you can just finish off the skeletons, then chase it down and hit it some more, and repeat. As long as you don't have anyone get too close it'll ignore you for a while

    Nothing beyond what it appears to be. He embarks on research that may or may not ever pan out, and will take a long stretch of time even if it does. As it's DLC, the epilogue sadly doesn't cover it.

    the amount of time the game takes is somewhat fungible. If you play a mage for example, wynne refers to it being "nearly a year" since you left the tower, implying that journeying across the map takes quite a while. On the other hand, the redcliffe -> mage tower round trip is said to only take a day or so when you save connor, so that makes things seem shorter.

    The speed the blight advances on the map doesn't make a ton of sense either.

    about warden's keep ending:
    I let whats his face in the tower live. He said he'd get back to me when he figured out something useful for me, but never got anything. I went back a few times, but didn't have any indication that he ever made anything. Whats the deal with him?
    Nothing beyond what it appears to be. He embarks on research that may or may not ever pan out, and will take a long stretch of time even if it does. As it's DLC, the epilogue sadly doesn't cover it.

    DLC is no excuse:
    Shale was DLC and it has a part in the epilogue.

    These are links to Bioware's North American Canadian site, but you can access them from america as well. Technically, links also exist to the premium DLC (Warden's Keep, Stone Prisoner, etc.), but since you'd still need to be logged into your authorized account, they'd do you no good. The benefit is that these won't be disabled if you cannot access the net or something. These are also the only way I know that someone without a constant internet connection can use (some of) the preorder content.

    Maybe it doesn't happen on the 360 version?

    No idea. Another thing that vexes me:

    Reports indicate that in Wardens Keep the person who drops the Warden Commander Armor can also sometimes drop a silverite shield to go with it. Nothing amazing, but it still pisses me off that something like that is just a completely random drop.

    Stone Prisoner is quite different for a lot of reasons :)
    The Stone Prisoner DLC isn't DLC at all, it was cut content that wasn't finished in time for content lock that got a new chance at life thanks to EA pushing back the release date so consoles and PC would be ready at the same time yadda yadda. All the heavy lifting with Shale was already done. Voice acting, etc

    Also this is why we're never getting any DLC including new party members like Shale again, or new Origins by Biowares own admission.

    Well, Rob Bartel over on the official boards said some of the later content for Warden's Keep ended up being cut, so it is likely a result of that.

    Its not like DLC couldn't just add a screen at the end of the game when you have those blurbs about what happened to all the peoples of Ferelden. I don't see how being DLC makes it so that it can't have an effect on the epilogue.

    Neither do I but given that the epilogues are already pretty messed up and buggy and I'm not a developer, I'm gonna avoid judging too harshly since it's a pretty minor issue. If it makes you feel any better assume he never learned anything compelling.

    He also says that it could take a few months to make anything. A few months haven't passed yet. I personally had the feeling that all of DAO happens in maybe a 2 to 3 month time span.
    the amount of time the game takes is somewhat fungible. If you play a mage for example, wynne refers to it being "nearly a year" since you left the tower, implying that journeying across the map takes quite a while. On the other hand, the redcliffe -> mage tower round trip is said to only take a day or so when you save connor, so that makes things seem shorter.

    The speed the blight advances on the map doesn't make a ton of sense either.
    If you play the human noble origin, at the end of the game your brother says it has only been a couple of weeks since he came out of the wilds.

    He must have been in the wilds for a while then cause everyone knows it takes at least 2 weeks and 4 days to travel from Orzimmar to The Circle Tower!
