-spoiler- for Arcane Warrior :)

-found it

















Location: Brecilian Ruins

Floor: Lower Ruins

Map: Middle Right; left section of two outstretching quarters.

Landmark: Broken Stone Altar; the section looks like a ruined library with a broken altar. If you see this land mark and it specifically says "Broken Stone Altar", then you are in the correct room.

Position: It is hidden in the shadows of that room; it's not sparkling, so just use your controller on the area across from the broken altar, next to the headless statue if you are playing on a console. If you are playing on a PC press tab to highlight all interactable objects in the room.

Item: Phylactery. When you touch it you experience the memories of the last elven arcane warrior who has remained trapped inside of the phylactery for centuries. He offers to teach you the secrets of the Arcane Warriors in exchange for setting his spirit free by placing the phylactery on an ancient altar. While the spirit of the elf has been imprisoned for so long that it forgets where the altar is located, the altar is actually right beside the phylactery. By destroying the phylactery, you unlock the Arcane Warrior specialization for the mage.

 Is there a mod installer like in Fallout? Ive put mods in this and see no option as to how to use them.Am I missing something obvious here?

Yes there but it depends on whether or not the mod maker packed the files using the updater file extension.  In your Dragon Age folder, there is a file called DOAUpater.exe (or something like that) that will load the mod files that use a special .zip extension into dragon age and you'll see in the download content section within the game.

yeah, but from what I've read (just started looking into some of these mods), the game's updator only installs the mods - it cannot uninstall them.  The DAModder will do both, but as you point out it only works if the mod-maker created their mod with this in mind.

wow

I just finished the end game for the first time .. felt like I just watched a great movie :)
What a great storyline .. wide open for sequels to come.

As Oot, a human noble, it felt *good* to lay the smack down on Howe, Loghain, and his mouthy lootenant girlfriend.

Tough fights thruout, ..now I want to try different things :)
Oot .. being lawful good, just killed Zevran out of hand, ..just not much love for Assassins yanno?

Now .. time to bring on Skyl .. the man in black who lives in shadows :)
or mebbe run Fuddthoo up .. or Cenye .. or Argle .. or any number of the characters I played in so many games :)

He only stabs you in the back if he's neutral towards you.

LMFAO!!!!    :rofl

Dre, I had to pick up the strategy guide.  Bad news, if you have a female character, you will never get it on with Morrigan.  She digs guys only.  But thanks for the laugh. :aok

There's mods out there for that.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Be the perfect squeak and throw him in the dungeon instead of putting him on the throne.
