DAO: Solo Rogue Nightmare Part 4 - Brecilian Forest + Falon'Din's Reach

Dragon Age Origins Playtrough with a Solo Archery Rogue on Nightmare Difficulty.

Click the HD button for awesome quality!

Chapter 3 feautures a lot of werevolves, ogres and shades. I will also show you how to get Falon'Din's Reach (the best bow in game before the Landsmeet) at level 8.

I will answer build/strategy related questions in the comments section.
Thanks for watching!

Since I'm doing a (roughly) similar playthrough right now, I can't help but wonder, what's your choice of skills? I assume you're getting 4 in Combat. Will you go 4 into Trap Making or you'll stick to lower level traps (to preserve materials, for example)? Poisons? Herbalism?

Not to mention Coercion. With about 16/17 skill points to spend (high level, tomes, starting skills), it's hard to divide, especially at the beginning.

Also, what are your plans for the second specialization?

[HDNewt]

I will max combat and traps (you need the higher level traps since they use different, easier-to-get reagents. Metal shards are scarce). Once thats done points go into coercion. So far I used morrigan to craft my pots and I dont need poisions. Later on i will maybe use another char to craft some bombs if there are too few at the vendors.

Aww I was hoping for you to show your stats and talents... Also how come you're going for longbow instead of shortbow? Are you going to get Arrow of Slaying and Master Archer?

[HDNewt]

I will show the stats and talents in the next movie.

Eventually i will probably get AoS and MA, but I will have to get 30str anyways to wear some decent armor and then longbow is far superior (shared dmg factor with str).

I can explain some thoughts behind my decisions in the next video if you would like to.

[goldragon988]

With the hotfix, shortbow gets 0.6 damage per point of dex, while Longbow gets 0.3 per point of str or dex. So 3 dex means 1.8 damage for shortbow while 3 points in either str or dex equals 0.9 damage for longbow. Are you going to go for Wade's medium armor for -20% fatigue (assuming you can kill High Dragon) or Red Jenny Seekers?

Sorry for the questions; I just recently started playing on Nightmare with a rogue archer and am looking up to more experienced players for build suggestions.

[HDNewt]

Red Jenny Seekers are useless with rapid shot so I will probably go for Wade's medium for the stamina boost and -fatigue.

I will check the bow calculations again but considering i will need 34 str for wade's medium armor and 34 dex to use Falons -> longbow does seem like the better option.

You would need to use much inferior armor (like T2-3) to support a high enough dex to actually make shortbows better. Not considering there is no shortbow to even come close to Falon's.

since you are the dwarf noble, which allows you to make BIG money with little help of Gorim, i'd definately save up some money to get a few very cool, very expensive items - like felon's coat, although since you're an archer Far Song longbow is probably more important. i'd also go for andruil's blessing. lifegiver is gr8 as well (although my rogue has key to the city and harvest festival ring - dex and attack bonuses)

[TrojanMike60]

A dwarf using a bow is just wrong, man.

lol steath saved the day !

[chilwil07]

@Bobopoa well i did max herb trap poison coercion and had nothing else

[Bobopoa]

@chilwil07 A little late on advice since I've finished my run. Combat yes, but poison wasn't that important. No, thank you, to max herb. With proper tactics you don't need bigger pots (more than what you can find).

[chilwil07]

i like duelist duel weild rogue with assasin or ranger better cuz of stun and aoe rape

[chilwil07]

@Bobopoa always max combat and poisons first then work on herb if alone to make health pots

[gameomaster]

What stats do you focus on i really wanna role a rogue

[mattias8755]

Ugh i hated the dalish elf quest in the brecilian forest, was so fkin annoying
