Different type of mob or opponent require using different fighting style from what I observe. Side step is very effective while against boar. There actually quest marker when you open up the quest list and choose the appropriate map for the quest. Sometimes you do need to pay attention on the dialogues and the quest info, as well as location for map. If you dont mind running around, crossbow is quite a nice weapon in my opinion, and can instant kill at the last hit on human without knocking them down like using sword.

So far I completed 90% above the quests in bandit camp, meet with their Don, avoiding quests which will choosing side for the moment now 1st. Same goes to harbor town quest, majority complete beside those which will affect which side you siding, the order or the don. Also killed 95% of the guards in the town, left those only in god mode or with names. Current just reach the order's base and having couple of quests in hand.

Currently only got few spell lvl1 spell, where the jest spell is quite handy when aggro a few npc at the same time.

As I said, I never kill any npc with names in town. That particular farmer had name if I remember correctly and it now move into the motel thanks to me.

Currently sword lvl is at lvl7 and using the stormwind, which is the strongest I can find for now, require lvl2 smith to forge it. What the highest lvl when the game finished? Only 1 ending? Means joining the don or the inquisition makes no difference to the ending?

Yuka: that is the stormwind bastardd sword once forge up, attack power bout 60 to 70 if I remember correctly. Actually holding 2h sword on 1 hand start at lvl7, cause bastardd sword also is a type of 2h sword.

Actually at lvl6 there alot place where one can explore, just need to aware of what you can kill and what can kill you easily. Also if you want to explore and collecting plants more easier, disable the vegetation option in your performance settings, that make exploring alot easier.

Sometimes there will be bugs on the ghoul where when you shoot them from far distance, they will just remain on the spot and wont move, which I usually like to do that using crossbow. But do remember make a save before trying. As for the ghoul in the temple of the bandits, you can easily kill them using the terrain advantage, stand on high ground and shoot them from far using crossbow, where you can easily clear them in the early days.

You can set your view distance to high in settings option, and crossbow can be zoom too. If still really cant view them, just go down and let them spot you and turn and run, climb back up to the higher area and the ghouls wont able to get up to you. Then you can slowly torture them with your bow or crossbow, where I usually prefer crossbow. Just finish the game with mage, maybe will play again with warrior of the order or don side this time. This time wanna try out using axe.


Well ogre is one of the highest exp mob in the game, 300exp each kill. Only chapter 3,4 saurians can provide up to 320, 350exp per kill. So there definitely some difficulties when fighting them. But when you able to achieve around 100 str with better damage weapon, it can be take down with few charge attack, some tactics on melee combat will be require for it, just like facing ash beast.
