Level 13 or 14 isn't too bad. I tried doing Orzamaar second, though, and uh, yeah. Did I have my ass handed to me. :)
which managed to barbeque us enough for the bandits to dip us in sauce eat us and then wipe their fingers on a moist towellette
LOL!!
I read that the Blackstone badge was for completing your first mission, like the Magi and the Chantry, which was why I was expecting to get that one.
Oh. Then I'm not sure. I may check your Achievement list later, because I can. :)
I also ended up grabbing a bunch of side quests in Redcliffe, and so I would run into a bunch of people who said "Yeah we're all going to Denerim to report on a blood mage" and I'd wave and say "Have fun storming the castle" and the game would go FAIL!!! because... I don't even remember why, but I was supposed to encourage them not to.
Hee. :) I think anytime you have a random encounter that is not darkspawn, it's probably related to a sidequest you've picked up. But don't quote me on that.
However, this gating mechanism gives me an idea--go everywhere as soon as it becomes available, so that the threat rating is pegged low, and then limp back later when I've gained some levels.
Y'know, after I dug that information out and posted it for you...I considered the same thing. :) Although it does mean nerfing things somewhat, and therefore not a great as a challenge.
But sometimes, that's okay.
(Also, unrelated, but so I know you'll get it/see it: I have the rec room at my home park reserved for Saturday, October 2nd from 12-8:30pm.)
