Dragon Age--Trades

[cyrano]

Last session I traded in my dog for a crazy Joan of Arc. Today I traded crazy Joan for a homicidal murderer.
See, Leilana had this thing where she kept dashing off into the thick of combat and getting herself corpsified. I tinkered with her tactics, and I checked in with her frequently. The way to keep her alive was to ride shotgun constantly, which I wasn't prepared for just yet.
I finally figured out where the Chantry board missions were located, and that in fact I'd already completed one of them. Yay! And I explored camp and talked to *everybody* although Morrigan is still all frosty. I'd hoped that doing the one thing that she'd insisted we do (no, not throwing Alastair to the bears, finding a way to get Sten out of the cage) would make her a little happier. But if she was, it wasn't happier with me.
I think I'm ready to leave Lothing now.

EDIT Oh yeah, I also hit level seven (Why is everybody in the party a higher level than I? Even the *dog*!) and discovered that you have to do something *besides* hit level seven to take a prestige class.

If you set Leli up with a bow and want to keep her from running in where she's about to get squished, go into tactics and select "ranged" from the behavior menu at the top.

I think I tried that, although it may have been the fight where she got mauled by dogs. I'll give that another shot if I rotate her back in.

Since you're playing a Rogue, my advice would be to leave Leliana back at camp keeping the stew hot. You don't need two in the party.

It's more advisable to keep two tanks, one rogue, and one mage.

Yeah, the main reason to bring her out would be (a) bardy stuff or (b) to hear her talk crazy. (She's got an... odd accent. At first I thought it was French, but now I think it's some variation of toff that I'm not familiar with.)

I think she's meant to be the in-game equivalent of the French. Later you find the in-game Italians, the contrast is kind of amusing ;)

I'm not certain now whether I can't wait or I don't want to think about it. (:

That's the tactic we used, yup
