Very good, so far. Voice acting is great, storyline is fairly typical but at least it's done well. Ray how far have you gotten? I'm at the part where the Witches in the forest rescue me from on top of the tower. Any points for min/maxing power levels (or rather, anything to avoid so I don't gimp myself)

I know a glitch that allows you to set your attributes pretty much wherever you wish… :)

I'm working on the dwarven storyline. I've completed the elves, mage tower, Arl Eamon, Urn of Sacred Ashes, and some DLC quests. I think all I have left, with the exception of some of the NPC side quests, is the dwarven storyline and then the Landsmeet.

As for min-maxing, it really depends on your group make-up. Which characters are you using and how do you want to use them? For example: my main is a 2HD Champion/Templar, Alistair is sword & board Templar/Berserker (I think), Leiliana is an archer Bard/Ranger (animal companions are actually pretty cool) and Wynne is my Spirit Healer/Arcane Warrior (AW for added defensibility). I have found this party combination is slightly challenging because I don't have a whole lot of AoE, which is extremely useful in so many places. Once you figure out how/where you want your characters to go, I can give you more specific advice.

On a side note, don't completely forget about any of your NPCs. They will actually be used, at least with whatever gear they have, later on in the storyline.

my main character is a dual weapon human fighter. I have no idea what direction I want to take her ultimately. Right now for stats i'm focused on str, dex and stamina.

I haven't really paid too much attention to my other characters because they keep dieing or whatever. (like the 2 other grey wardens who die attempting to do the joining).

Unless you're tanking with her (which you shouldn't if she's not carrying a shield) don't worry about sta. Keep your dex high enough to give you access to the talents you want, I think 26 is the highest you need for all of them and stack str and willpower. Don't underestimate willpower because that's what gives you the energy to perform your various abilities.

You'll want to pay attention to all of your characters because they will be highly useful to you throughout the game. The combats are intended for a party of 4, not 1.
