Hane -arrior buil was. $t was my .rst play through as a rogue* thir play through total* an $'m
still relying mainly on Origins e/perience. )here may be things which are more e0ecti%e* particularly
on a iculty le%el other than +casual., $t will take me many more times through the game to make

(ew health potions* but $ only went through 56 or less through the whole game* with less than 7
in4uries* so $ counte my team a success.
$ in't bother with any o( the party tactics because $ ne%er neee them. )hey seeme to o their
own thing 4ust .ne an on the rare occasion they in't* $' switch o%er to them manually.
)his Hawke relie on the sarcastic responses. )he only thing he was nice about was his (amily* an
the only thing which brought out aggression was his esire to see the 2ircles banne. His sister li%e
in this one an was sent to the 2ircle so he was %ery pro-mage an anti-templar. He an 8ners got
along (amously.
9enris was selom in the party but on his way to a healthy :i%alry score. $sabella was his .rst lo%e

$t's all that sa%e his li(e.
)he concealing +bomb, was also constantly use to help out a party member or Hawke who was
being beaten up particularly baly by the enemy.
1%ae $ rarely use. $t will get you out o( a mob by oing a riiculous circus back >ip. $ actually like
how that one worke in Origins but it coul probably pro%e %ery use(ul to some playing styles.
&ecoy was another %ery use(ul one (or me. $t helpe mobs as well as really tough enemies (ocus on it
rather than my party.
$ barely use the other one* but either put a point into it because $ neee it (or something else or $
was e/perimenting to see what worke best (or me.
Anders
9ocuse on his healing an mostly the ol stu0 $ always ha%e on him. $t seems to work (or me* but
someay $'m going to play a mage an test the things $ on't normally use an see i( they're more
e0ecti%e.

Isabella
"uilt her much the same was a Hawke but (or some reason she got beat up more than he i. )hat
might ha%e ha something to o with eBuipment* but she staye behin at the en (or 8%aline.
8%aline was a beer tank* but as a rule o( thumb in my &ragon 8ge games* the lo%e interest tra%els
with the hero. )hat way they get the ma/ interaction an ambient chat (plus mi/es the party up (or
me so it's less boring.)

Merril
$'m sure it has to o with my buil but $ (oun ;erril to be almost useless. $ lo%e the character so
ha her in my party until the %ery en* but the i0erent things $ trie with her seeme to be weaker
than the other mages. <he sur%i%e prey well with some potions an a lot o( healing (rom 8ners*
but take this buil as meiocre at best.
