    Hi!
    Welcome to part 9 of my first playthrough of Dragon Age: Origin's -
    On today's episode Alistair steps forward revealing his true feelings towards Elhara nervously awaiting her response. After a night of passion, Elhara and the others come across a man possessing a controlling device that commands a golem. This brings them to the town of Honnleath where it's been taken over by the darkspawn horde and the golem remains a statue in the centre of it all.
    I hope everyone enjoys it ♥

    LMAOOO i cackled when Alistair approached you. Its a shame the game doesnt make it more clear but some of those gifts bodahn sells are from the “gifts and feastday” dlc and all of them can either give like +50 or -50 to a companion, like w morrigan and the alistair doll. Usually his romance is much more spaced out and sweet. If you jump your relationship up too fast it skips dialogue and interactions :( (i also learned this the hard way)

    • @amypetty5013
      @amypetty5013 3 місяці тому +7

      It doesn't necessarily skip them, but you can find yourself having them out of order. I think this is why the relationships in DA2 and Inquisition were scripted so that you couldn't just leap frog your way into a romance by exploiting friendship gifts in a single 5 minute session. Never mind the wonkiness of accidentally clicking a companion in the midst of battle and suddenly Alistair wants to woo you with his rose just right then and there, that Ogre heading your way be damned.

    The relationship fast-forwarded because of the DLC gift (DLC gifts cost nothing in Bodahn´s shop and have a name of whomever the gift is intended for in the description, normal gifts don´t have it). :) It is mostly for people who already played the game and want to "cheat" in progressing the relationships with companions while replaying (or to try how it is when everybody hates you, thus option of the Ugly shoes kind of gift which causes heavy loss of approval you already experienced with Leliana). Unfortunately, it is not stated in the description. So yeah, it doesn´t normally jump so quickly :D
    Anyway, great chaotic gameplay, I enjoy it very much and glad you like it, ♥ except the crashes ofcourse. Those can be frustrating and happen in Denerim often. :C

    Weapons need enchantment slots to be able to be enchanted. When you look at a weapon's stats if there is one or more square at the bottom of the stats box it means the weapon is enchantable. For Sten to use his main weapon abilities he needs to be using a two-handed weapon. Sten is looking for something, I think now that he likes you he may open up about it.

    -Just a little clarification on your ending segment: You and Alistair are the last of the Fereldan* Grey Wardens. There are still Grey Wardens in every other country in Thedas, especially the Anderfels, which is a country you read about this episode. In fact, the Grey Warden headquarters, Weisshaupt Fortress, is located in the Anderfels!

    • @fizzysod8a
      @fizzysod8a 3 місяці тому +1

      expanding on this a little: one of the things that made Loghain so upset in the prologue was that the Wardens in Orlais could come and help fight the Blight, but Loghain hates Orlais because when he was younger Orlais conquered Ferelden.
      He and the last king, Cailan's dad, became besties while retaking the throne. so in his mind he didn't want to invite Orlesians in when he and his dead best friend only JUST kicked them out. Plus there's lots of drama about Cailan's relationships you might find out in a later dlc called Return to Ostagar

    If you like reading then i recommend the Dragon Age novels too.
    The first 2 take place before Dragon Age: Origins so you can read those. Asunder and Masked Empire take place between Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition so only read after beating the second game.
    Also Last Flight takes place after the second game but most of the plot is set in the past, you will learn more about blood magic in this.
    Tevinter Nights is the latest book set after Inquisition.
    I also recommend lore books The World of Thedas which explain the lore and have nice artwork. There are 2 volumes. Volume 1 has some stuff from Dragon Age II so best to read after. Volume 2 is best read after Inquisition. These are great for people who want to know more about the world, it's history, places, religions, races etc.
    There are also comics but i haven't got them yet.

    Hey Kiki. I've been watching parts of your playthrough so far and really enjoy seeing someone discover Origins for the first time.
    You even animated me to start another playthrough (shame on you😂)
    However I wanted to give you two (spoilerfree) pieces of information concerning the dlc content.
    1. Many Dlc items do not export into Awakening. And the matter of which ones do may depend on your port.
    For example the pc version didn't export the helmet of Honleath, which made my mage tank very, VERY sad😢
    The second point: If you place an armor or weapon WITHOUT runes into your storage at soldiers peak, that item may be upgraded to a higher tier version of itself after leaving the area.
    This applies to generic "non-unique" items or Dlc gear, like the warden commanders set.
    Prerequisite is, ofc, that there is a higher tier version in the files and you fulfill the level requirements to spawn it.
    Looking forward to see more of you
