I'm a bit curious though. I *want* to be a blood mage, because I think that sounds like the most potent killing-pew-pew specialization for a mage, but does that doom me to be evil? Will Allistair or whatnot hate me if I pick that one? lol. Also, Morrigan is a bitch. Is she worth keeping around? She dissaproves of basically everything I do, and I'm quite tempted to just kill her for the lulz. Will I be able to find a replacement mage later? I also picked up the rogue priest lady, but she doesn't seem to be doing a whole lot in fights. She's mainly useful for opening locked chests. I've tried fooling around with her tactics AI, but she just doesn't do much damage in battle at all, T_T; | ||

Try underclocking your graphics card 10% on cpu and mem (I used rivatuner), that completely fixed the crashes for me. And yeah, I had the exact same problem. A solution until they patch it. The game still runs smoothly, though I'm playing windowed 1024x768. | ||

I bought the digital collector's edition so I got everything and before I registered my collector's edition stuff I saw on the DLC tab that The Stone Prisoner was available for "1200 points" so I figured people were having to pay for it. But given how short it is that really would be a taint on Bioware's reputation. | ||

Stone Prisoner is free for all NEW copies as a code. It's purpose is to convince console people to buy new instead of used. Warden's Keep isn't worth the $7 though, since you can get a free mod using the official tools to add a storage chest at your camp for free. Game runs rock solid, I've had no crashes or graphical problems. 1680x1050, 4xAA, maxed everything, vsync on, with an E8400, 4GB RAM and HD4870 512MB. | ||

A solution until they patch it. The game still runs smoothly, though I'm playing windowed 1024x768. yeah my graphics card was actually slightly overclocked, I'll try turn it down. And I'm also amazed how EXTREMELY well this game runs on my computer (when it's not crashing that is heh heh). It's very well optimized. I thought my 3700+ CPU (yes an ancient single core) would have problems with this game, but it runs completely smooth on 1680*1050 and everything on highest details. Well, I guess it helps that my graphics card is not as old (9800gtx). | ||

You learn blood magic from a demon in the fade, and Allistair isn't there to disapprove. On November 10 2009 06:44 Haemonculus wrote: Also, Morrigan is a bitch. Is she worth keeping around?

You get Wynne, but Wynne's spell selection is basically worthless for anything other than healing until you gain a few levels. I would keep Morrigan, but that's because I'm finding the Allistair + 3 mage party setup to be extremely strong. | ||

I'm regretting not getting fireball first instead, T_T; I mainly use the lightning and ice attacks, and friendly fire is very hard to avoid! T_T | ||

Also, if you have a possibility to switch your party members and you are about to talk someone and the dialogue will lead someone to have massive dissaproval score, you can manage your party before you speak and leave the ones that disagree out and take them back after talking. | ||

answers to the blood mage and wynne + Show Spoiler + If you talk to wynne and reveal that your a blood mage i believe she attacks you outright. Same thing happens if you show up to the magic place with morrigan in your party. | ||

I was expecting some cutscene like Locke's reaction to Celes using magic in FFVI. I condemned a guy during a quest for being a blood mage despite being one myself. No one in my party called me out on the hypocrisy fortunately.  | ||
