Yes. Once you get to where you can set up camp, the one of the little dwarf guys that follow you can attach them to weapons for you. But only weapons that have slots, and no more per weapon than the number of slots they have.
Ie, you can only put two runes on a two slot weapon. (I know, that's obvious, but I like being thorough.)
There are runes that add elements to your attacks, runes that add effects (like paralyze), ones that add resistance to spells, and a few other kinds.
Experiment around to see which combinations you like.

holly crap there is a lot to this game

Yup. And that's before all the DLC. lol
Speaking of that, I only have the Stone Prisoner and Blood Dragon Armor ones. Got them free with the game as a limited time thing.
Don't have Warden's keep or Ostagar, or anything else they might've released, so I can't really answer questions about those.
Anything main game I can help with though. Actually, I may play back through this again soon.

I have all the DLC except the Dragon Armour one that you get free, my code was from a second hand game and its a one time code, on top of that it was no longer valid by 3 days, so no point in trying it our really.

I have all the DLC, just going through the new one now, Leliana's song, everything else I went through. Including the gift day, and the prank ones. dis gayum be like crack!

Any questions on DLC give me a shout.

Just bought Warden's Keep. Without giving anything away, what did you think of it? Are the abilities any good? (Well, minor spoilers are okay. )

What exactly is the purpose of the Prank ones? I haz a confuzed.

Double Post

Nope, I was wrong, Liam. It was in this thread. I don't forum fail as hard as I thought. I just memory fail.

Dang I missed it dunno why it didn;t show up...

Wardens Keep. A good add on, adds about an hour to the main story with an interesting story and a very useful storage box. You get a bit of the history of the Wardens, some very nice loots and a new Weaponsmith that can make you an epic weapon that I love, and an new "half class" so to speak with some interesting skills/talents depending on what your class is.

One issue I have is that anything you get from this add-on does not carry over to the Awakening Expansion when you import a charater, hence me starting out on Awakening without one of my epic duel weilding swords and walking around in just my white undies.

Thanks, bud. I doubt I'll be getting Awakening any time soon, so it shouldn't be a problem for me. I will be on the lookout for DA2 though.
I'll likely play this after I get through Knox.

I'll be honest, awakening is worth it, Shorter than half the length of Origins, maybe equal, but definatly longer than Modern Warfare.

Plenty of quests and loots to get as well as new skills and classes specialisations, sidequests with a management feel to it as well.

I dunno, if you liked Origins, Awakening is definatly worth checking out...

Ok Q
when/how can i start putting runes on my weapons ??
i do have one fire rune i think

When you find a weapong that when you go into the menu and you press the button to view its stats, if it has a square box that means you can put it in. You tend to get runes early on enough, that I just sell them considering they are crapish and you can always buy them back if you want to.

Honestly though your better off holding out for the later Runes that you will find. Novice ones suck.

Be careful going around on that site though. It contains a number of spoilers, so don't go looking at anything you done want to know about ahead of time.

If you get to your camp, there will be a daft dwarf who will plug those bad boys into your swords.

This game is the bomb. I am a Rogue Dalish Elf and play like I'm part warrior.

Q: Is there any point in having Sten? He is a flaming a-hole to me and I am about ready to send him on his way.

I was also a rogue Danish Elf (female)
I did not take Sten in the first playthrough. He is really strong and can take almost any damage but he gets upset easily. Some funny dialogues sometimes, specially with Leliana or Morrigan. In the second paythrough I took everyone and simply left them in the camp, they level up with you so just upgrade their skills from time to time. If a mission is too difficult because you need whatever, then just take him. I played a lot with the automatic actions, I put Morrigan to attack with the cloud of insects when she had two close to her, to freeze any enemy with a special rank, Winnie to heal anyone below 50% health and petrify any enemy leader, etc. That way when a big party of enemies came close they were petrified or frozen before I even realized. Only problem is that if you are in the way you get petrified too lol, but it is not a huge problem as that usually means that the bad guys are also still and are not attacking you.

Sten I like for the dialouges.
Other than that he's useful as a tank.

Thanks gave it a look did not look to much though do not want to spoil my game

Q.
can you control who your party members fight in a fight at the moment
they fight anyone or is that the way it goes

You can "programme" to fight a certain enemy type but other wise they go ahead and attack what they see. Check the tatics screen for a character, some attack who your attacking.

I use the tactis a lot. So much I can forget about my party because they heal each other, protect me, freeze the bad guys first, cancel any enemy's spell, heal me... It looks tricky at first, but if you combine them well, then your fights will feel easy because of the "team work" going on. Put someone to heal, someone to freeze / trap, someone to be the tank, someone to attack with magic/arrows, etc. First the most powerful enemies, then the one that attacks you, then the ones that attack them, then the closest... etc. Take into account how much mana you spend with each thing, though. If you put the same character 5 tactics that will drain his/her mana in a go, then all the other ones you put after are somehow useless because s/he cannot use them.

I just leave them to their own devices and charge head long in with dual welding sword skills. You can damage a lotta enemies with them skills.

Here are my tactics:

1.) Have Wynne.
2.) Give Wynne a tactic that states: Mana is less than 25% = Use Lyrium Potion.
3.) Carry lots of Lyrium potions.
4.) Do whatever I feel like without worrying about anyone dying.

Interesting thing. I reached level 7 while still in Lothering. My previous data was not on this PS3, but my specializations are still unlocked. I believe this to mean that info is on the Dragon Age servers. This must be why it doesn't matter if you reset after unlocking a specialization, as long as the scene in which you get it finishes.

Finished the Warden's Keep dlc today. Very short, and not really heavy on story. There was a tough fight (for a low level character) in there though. And the Blood abilities will mesh nicely with my Arcane Warrior/ Blood Mage specs.

Did you find the Star metal?

Not yet. Haven't been anywhere since I finished. Turned it off right after.

Its a random event that happens while your going between places.
Think "Superman"

Yeah, I think I read about it a long time ago when I had no intention of getting the DLC. (It was $10 or so and was released at the same time as the game. Kinda ticked me off. Only got it now because it was cheaper.)
