Encounters
There appear to be two types of encounters while travelling from one location to another: scripted and random. Regardless of the type of encounter, it is advisable to thoroughly explore/loot the area as these encounters cannot be revisited (with one exception).
Scripted
As the name suggests, these occur after having triggered some flag - note that the game may overtly advertise this fact to you sometimes, but other times it will not. Typically, this will be quest-related, gift-related, or companion-related (having a specific party member at a specific time). Back Alley may refer to:
- Back Alley (Origins), a Denerim location in Dragon Age: Origins.
- Back Alley (Dragon Age II), a Kirkwall location in Dragon Age II.

Random
- Main article: Random encounters (Origins)
These encounters are typically isolated battles (an occasional item, conversation, etc), such as encountering an allied patrol battling darkspawn or getting jumped by darkspawn yourself. They have no directly discernible impact on the game, but it is a good opportunity for XP and other goodies.

Bugs
When leaving the Camp (and occasionally other places), if the Warden selects "Back to Area Map", then goes back to the World Map, every location will be greyed out and travel will be impossible. The solution is to quit the World Map, and reenter the relevant transition.

-A request for this page. Can someone add an expliation of what diffrent map effects mean? Why are some locations highlighted orange? The spreading blackness from the bottom of the map. Why do areas change to a skull and crossbones and are no longer accesable? Links to explain what is happening and why.
