Attribute Modifiers (DA: Origins)

Introduction:

In Dragon Age: Origins (DA:O), weapon damage isn't just a simple number. The game's final damage value depends on a number of variables, including a player's attributes and the weapon's inherent statistics. This guide aims to demystify the intricacies of these damage calculations, specifically focusing on the role of Strength (STR), DextDrity (DEX), and how the game's internal Attribute Modifiers play a part.

Key Terms and Definitions:

  • STR: Strength attribute of the player. Primarily influences damage for melee weapons.
  • DEX: Dexterity attribute of the player. Often affects ranged weapons and certain melee weapon types.
  • Attribute Modifiers: Internal game values that determine how much of a particular attribute (like STR or DEX) con…

Merchants (Journeys)

A merchant's inventory is generated the first time you visit the shop and will not be re-rolled or restocked later. Inventories are not scaled based on the player's level, so there is no need to delay visiting a shop to roll better loot. The specific probabilities and outcomes of loot generation are detailed here.

Shops sell items for 4x their value, and buy at the item's value. A shop will not store the items it has bought from you, so once you close a store you cannot buy your items back anymore.


Bits and Bobs in the Orzammar Commons and Freshly Scavenged in Dust Town both stock mostly potions and accessories, and some equipment for mages. They do not share an inventory, but are generated in the same way and will always contain:

Armor comes in three types: light, medium, and heavy.

Light armor is the category used for Robes, which typically provide no armor and can only be equipped by mages.

Medium and heavy armor can both be equipped by either warriors or rogues. Medium armor is made of leather and provides a small amount of armor. Heavy armor is made of metal and provides higher amounts of armor, but also causes fatigue, which increases the amount of stamina consumed by abilities.

Also included in this section are shields, which can be equipped by warriors in the offhand. They provide additional armor and defense, although some also increase fatigu…

Loot is randomly generated upon winning a battle and is scaled to the highest-level party member prior to experience gained from the battle. There are three steps taken when this loot is generated:

First, if any enemy is a genlock, there is a 6% chance for the loot to contain a Darkspawn Axe, and if any enemy is a hurlock, there is a 6% chance for the loot to contain a Darkspawn Sword. If a battle contains both genlocks and hurlocks, …

New Teaser Trailer at the Game Awards 2020


BioWare premiered the new teaser trailer for the next Dragon Age at the Game Awards 2020!

While the trailer does not reveal the subtitle for the next game (if there is to be one), it clearly tells us that the next game will feature a new protagonist, one with "no magic hand, no ancient prophecies." Varric narrates the trailer, stating that he's got your back, indicating his return in the next game. As in previous trailers, Solas, under the name of the Dread Wolf, features as well.

Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights

Good News Everyone!



Behold our long silence is now broken and we are made whole once more. After a long silence we finally have some proper dragon age news for you, Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights, has been announced! Already there is a great deal of speculation that much like Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne, Dragon Age: Asunder and Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, this is the latest installment in bioware's trend of building up to the next game by doing a book about the setting beforehand to further flesh it out and build up hype. Unlike previous titles though, this one will not be a novel but rather an anthology of short stories set in Tevinter.

So all of this has naturally furthered speculation that the game's setting will be in the Tevinter Impe…

Casey Hudson, the project director for Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3, has left BioWare in 2014, but returned to BioWare some six months ago to replace Aaryn Flynn as the general manager. Recently he has stated that the the production on the next Dragon Age game was completely rebooted to "add more live elements". Naturally, with it being EA, the fans assumed it means EA are adding lootboxes a'la Star Wars: Battlefront II fiasco. But, Hudson was quick to clarify (or at lea…

So I just found out that some information on the new DA game has been leaked called Dragon Age Retribution. The following link is a video of all the information that was leaked about the upcoming DA game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2WtWI68Fjs

Personally, I'm really excited for the new game if it plays half as good as this sounds.DhampireHEK (talk) 23:08, October 8, 2017 (UTC)

My first blog post!

Its been on my mind for a while, but even though it was already debunked years ago, I still like to think of the Red Lyrium Dragon (in combination with the Elder One) as a de facto archdemon by the name of Razikale minus the darkspawn.

Of course, I'm probably just rambling away these random thoughts before bed, but just bear with me for a little bit.

I mean, yeah it doesn't control a horde of mindless monsters but its master happens to be ancient magister infused with the Taint, and his capability of respawning from one body to another is a recurring ability amongst their kind.

And even though its not really related, I still think Bioware should really consider releasing more books and comics that detail the narratives of characters other tha…

Some crackpot lore theories

So Henio0 recently did this post on the hidden lore within the DAI DLC, and I wanted to reply to it with some crackpot ideas of my own, but since he hasn't played Trespasser yet, I'm making my own post.

Obvious spoilers ahead for all three DLC and the main game.

Also, check out this video recounting some of the more interesting bits of lore in the DLC.


  • 1 Old Gods are Evanuris
  • 2 Titans and Dwarves
  • 3 Titans and the Taint
  • 4 Titans and the Fade
  • 5 Titans and Dragons
  • 6 Ancient history
  • 7 Black City
  • 8 The Andruil Connection


Henio0 speculates that seven extremely powerful spirits managed to convince the Tevinters to bond them to powerful dragons, akin to Hakkon, but these dragons were then somehow imprisoned under the Earth and are gradually corrupted by the Blight into …

A few thoughts about Inquisition DLC

I have played through the Jaws of Hakkon when it was first released, and I thought it was okay. But I have finished playing The Descent for the first time just recently and I'm sure everyone else was just as amazed when they've beaten it as I was.

Whilst the Descent was a lot more lore-packed, the Jaws of Hakkon also had some interesting things in it.

I decided to write down my thoughts about implications of some of the events that took place in those DLCs. Obviously, there are spoilers for these two DLCs below. I have yet to play Tresspasser, so I would ask that if anyone comments spoilers for it, that you give a warning.


  • 1 Spirits
  • 2 Revenant
  • 3 Magic in the Stone
    • 3.1 Gangue
  • 4 Titans
    • 4.1 Rock wraiths
    • 4.2 Red Lyrium
    • 4.3 Foreshadowing
    • 4.4 Kal-Sharok
    • 4.5 Caridin
    • 4.…

Need Your Thoughts on a Fanfiction Idea

So I'm not really into the whole fanfiction scene, I just enjoy making my own stories, but I do have some experience in writing and I came up with an idea for a story that, at first, was a suggested game idea. While I was pitching my idea on the spot, my friend said "Why don't you just write your own fanfiction?"

I thought I would come to a place where DA fans tend to linger and ask would any of you be interested in reading the story? I'm going to write it either way I just wanted to ask if anyone thought that I should post it any where. I'm a little wary because I know that there are so many other fanfiction writers and I'm just started to poke the idea a little.

Sure, I'd read it . Great place to post fanfictions is on ao3.org or on a pers…

Beat the game...third time...

I had beaten the game a third time, and this time with a Dwarf Noble Warrior, that died when killing the archdemon. So, that was the first time I had ever done that, and it was interesting to see what actually happened in the end. I have an Elf Rogue still...so I'll be posting him in another slideshow, just for him, since he's close to the end of the road.

Aveline Analysis: Creating a Tank

I originally posted this here, but I'm in a bit of lull of activity right now and thought it might be of interest over here. Essentially, a brief and somewhat shallow look at how Aveline is presented and how her character ties into her role in combat.



Aveline is a character I particularly love, and I don't know how shared a feeling that is. Oh, sure, when she's mentioned I usually see it positively, but often she seems overlooked in favour of all those crazies Hawke meets and also Varric. It's true that perhaps on paper, she's not initially that original of a character. She’s another woman who happens to be badass and be strong enough to batter doors down — intriguing from a certain feminist perspective, but ultimately kind of flat charact…
