Yep. Cone of cold, ice weapons and winter's grasp ripped them up nicely. I don't have blizzard yet.

I am finding blizzard to be rather worthless, myself.
pretty useful is you combine it with the electric storm.
With the blizzard, they are often frozen in place, plus they take damage.  Add the lighting storm, and they take an extra damage.  If you want to make it even better, you go with the hex spell right after they are frozen, then you go with lightning.

I'm in the Deepr Roads atm and last night I learned the origins of the darkspawn...  Very creepy athmosphere.  :thumbsup:

My entire party wiped except for myself and a few seconds more I would have died as well.  However after meeting with Branka we were literally slaughtered by the never ending flood of darkspawns.
Didn't lose anybody with that.  Fairly easy to beat.  And it has been revealed as early as last March, with pictures of that ;)

I normally prefer playing these games with a Warrior main character but it certainly sounds like Mages are the way to go.
There can be spoilers ahead, so it's your choice to read below.  I'm not gonna put it in white.




[SPOILER]






You can go with a warrior and have a lot of fun.  The thing is however, in this game, with your NPCs, you get 3 or 4 other warriors (4th is Shale the Golem, available with the DLC), while you only get 2 mages, Morrigan and Wynne.  So you don't have a lot of choices there, seeing that Wynne may leave you if you chose the wrong option at some point.  I hear that Morrigan can also abandon you if you play too much of a good guy.However, with the warrior, if you don't want to ruin your game, you have to decide really early on if you'll go with one weapon + shield, 2 weapons or a two handed weapons, because your abilities as you evolve are not the same at all.  Also, you might want to developp some skills with ranged weapons.  That's the only real drawback to being a non-mage.
[END OF SPOILERS]

New DLC coming up this Xmas has been announced - Return to Ostagar.

What do you guys think would be a good moment in the game to stop following the main plot, and just suspend it (and do DLC content)? I'm thinking before calling the Diet.

I generally take a break and do side quests after every major plot hub.  I mean those plot hubs are intense it is nice to just take a break and remember what it was like to have space in my packs again.

Is there any sort of bonus for filling out all the branches of a talent tree?

You get an achievement...but you will eventually never do that as you discover which skills you actually use or not.  There are so many skills/spells to choose from.

Meh, unless achievements give you something I've never understood the point of them. 

I've almost filled out the two handed tree with Sten, only 3 more in one line to go.  Might go for something else first if there is no benefit to filling it out.

They did in Mass Effect but do not seem to do anything in Dragon Age.

Personally, I don't get the spoilers hysteria, especially in a game like this. Yeah, it has a cool plot and is fun to play but 99% of plot twists could have been seen coming from a mile.
