Game is WAY too hard even on easy. Should i restart ?

[Rain]

I feel as though i specced my chars wrong and I the only companions i have are my dog, Alistair, and Morrigan. The game is way too hard, i currently have NO health poultices or a healer. When i went into the game i thought all companions came to you regardless but i learned that they don't the hard way. I'm currently trying to retrieve the Urn of Sacred ashes, but I have to kill our counterparts. Again i have no way of healing or curing injuries and my characters barely do any damage and die very easily regardless of any tactic i try to use. Should i just restart the game and try to get better companions ?

if you cant beat it on easy then maybe you are doing something way wrong

[Rain]

I was thinking the same lol. Idk maybe i'll give the game a break for awhile then come back because i put too much time into it to want to restart the game.

Well, if healing is the problem, what I usually do is set the tactics for my mages to auto heal party members @ <75% (which I set for the top preset slot). I'm not sure how you're playing the game or how new you are to the Dragon Age series but when I first started the main reason I kept dieing was that I didn't know mages can heal w/ spells. I would also suggest using Wynne (you find her at the Circle of Magi quest) instead of Morrigan because Wynne is a spirit healer and Group Heal is one hell of a spell. I'm not sure if what I said was helpful but I'll be glad to give more tips if you want. (p.s if you passed through Lothering w/o obtaining Sten or Leliana you should restart).

Remember my friend this is a tactical game. Use line of sites to draw archers to you , pause the game by pressing spacebar at anytime to look around your surrounding and get your bearings. pause the game before battle and set up a plan of action.

no his problem his he has dog and no potions i had a really good beefed up warroir who needed potions a lot

What you can do for that part of the quest is go solo so you are only having to fight yourself

[hodie]

Go back to an earlier save perhaps - as far back as you can without feeling you'll have to cover too much familiar ground - so as has been mentioned you can look to recruit the other two early companions to your party (Sten is a very useful tank) or skip to a bit of DLC and recruit Shale (who is an even better tank) and you can look to rethink your strategy for leveling your character and to immediately stock up on potions. Don't forget Morrigan has a good starting Herbalism skill so you can farm the abundant Elfroot to make health poultices yourself - the reagents and flasks you'll need will be sold in the Lothering Inn.

I recommend having a mage on hand (morrigan) and making her learn the basic heal and the group heal. Teaching somebody the herbalism skill in order to make health poultices. I played it on easy once and had a Huge abundance of health poultices and a healer making them unnecessary. Also if you have alistair, he's a pretty good tank given the chance.

do you know the requirement for the heal ability ? and i haven't seen it in the skill tree.

Remember the Dalish sell unlimited elfroot herbs on the cheap (60c or so). Also, the basic heal spell is just a rank 1 spell in the Creation tree. It can be a life saver!!

okay thanks

My lead character is a mage but I can't survive by myself. I've finished the Dalish quest to gain their allegiance. But now I'm in the Fade quest to escape the Sloth Demon. I'm getting killed here because I don't have enough protection. My best spells take too long to recharge and I keep getting overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Which attributes are best for becoming untouchable in battle?

[mynk]

I don't know about untouchable, but anthing that adds to defense helps, even the basic mage Arcane Shield. I've also found crowd control spells like the first tier Spirit spell Mind Blast can be very valuable so you can take a moment to catch a breath, reposition, cast a heal, take a potion, whatever you need to survive.

Also, I'm not a theorycrafter so I don't know how much benefit it would be over Willpower for mana or whatever, but maybe sticking some points in Constitution (for health) may be helpful.

EDIT: Also, in the Fade, don't forget your other forms. My last playthrough, I only took the "rogue" talents, and hardly had any weapon talents for the achievement, and did the entire Fade almost exclusively alternating between the forms, depending on what I was fighting.

Bobby, i believe the Normal single target heal is Somewhere in.. Creation i think it's called? The group heal is obtained by a specialization that you get from befriending Wynne i think. Since she's supposed to be the Best healer. a

Thanks, Mynk. I'm at level 12 now but I don't know how to use them properly. Being overwhelmed is frustrating, so I think I should backtrack and try more mind spells. The earthquake spell is terrible when I'm fighting an arm of drakes. Alistair's Templar ability is a one trick pony to me because I rely on his character for diirect combat.
