Why bother only doing 53% of all things?

Where do we see how much we have completed, etc?

Because I missed lots of the stuff and some of the stuff are only available to certain origins plus if you take certain options. I did all the side quests I could find.

Character and then heroic accomplishments.

Ah ..... a seasoned RPG'er such as yourself missed things? Tsk, you should be removed from the guild for that

Thanks a mill

Some of the puzzle are hard to spot. Will use the prima guide for next play through in order not to miss them.

Its not possible to complete everything in a single playthrough.

At 134.5 hours I think I only had a slightly higher completion, 60%+-. The remainder likely includes the other origins and quest/dialog paths you don't do because of choices and possibly your origin.

The game has strong replay value. I'll most probably play with 3/4 characters to explore the different avenues in the game.

Okay so I beat the High Dragon today at level 16! It was actually a lot easier than I expected it to be. The right group and placement makes all the difference.

**************Minor Spoiler****************
I got the Heavy Dragon Scale Armor made from the Dragon scale that the Dragon dropped, what an excellent piece of armor, and it looks fantastic too.
**************End Spoiler*****************

I still have a ways to go, I completed the Mages Tower, Redcliffe and Orzammar. Did all the stuff that I could in Denerim for the time being, now just got to the Elves.

Lol, if they keep making it easier then finishing it on normal like I did is going to be worthless

I don't believe they changed the difficulty again. I believe that only changes going from version 1 to 1.01. I believe the only changes with 1.01 b as opposed to 1.01 a is the fix for visual c runtime and the win 7/vista game explorer fix.

I have finally managed to kill a Dragon (the High Dragon, still have to take on Flemmeth again)!! Man was that hard. I can also finally wear the Blood Dragon armour and I am just one magic stat away from wearing the Dragonbone armour I had made with the High Dragon's Scales as well as Bergen's Honor. Arcane warrior is one of the best, if not the best, character specialisation in this game. I'm about 25 hours into the PC version and 18 hours into the PS3 version, this game is awesome. I can definitely see myself playing this for a long time still.

Does anyone know exactly how many Dragons there are to slay in the game? I don't really count Flemmith as a real Dragon. I've already taken down the High Dragon, was hoping to fell some more with my new +10 Dragon damage sword.

 

[Blackhand]

I know how many dragons there are, but to tell would be nasty now wouldn't it? =)

Anyway, busy with my second playthough now and I am very happy to say there are some significant differences in the way the game pans out depending on your Origin. Some doors close but others open that you didn't have access to before.

I don't think its an issue saying how many as long as I don't say where. I found 2(3 if you count the shape changer, 4 if you count something else).

I am also on my second playthrough. This time going with a city elf warrior. The way people treat me is quite different to my human noble.

what the hell is up with the 4 floor panels that have to be solid to pass over (in the Gauntlet) ......... 2 hours on a section is just not on

The changelog said the made easy easier, also increased damage, etc. for normal mode slightly...

I'm currently in the Mage Circle Tower. Pretty impressed with the twist they put in it. Could have been a game on it's own.

The changelog doesn't specify whether its changes going from 1.0 or from 1.01 a. The log could be including all changes.
