Not a complaint ... surprised I even noticed it as I was moving with my rogue / archer in the lead of my party. But this little clipping bug gave me a chuckel.

What happens when impenetrable armour meets a swiftly closing sturdy door?

Would that be Sten on the right?

[DarqueMist]

That would be Sten, wearing Legion of the Dead Armour. The Juggernaut set has stat buffs that are better but this set looks so much better and in my opinion fits Stens personality so well that I just have to use it (Stens always in my party ... a perfect tank)

[Wisconsinbigdog]

Nice! He does look like a beast in that, I sure wouldn't mess with him. I have a question...I'm in the dwarven settlement, and I picked up...I forget his name...one of the dwarves to accompany me in finding that lady that was looking for some forge or hammer...does he stay with me once I leave? I'll probably keep him in my active party. It'd be me, him, Morigan, and my dog, Guenhwyvar. I think one of the most underrated character classes is having a human warrior with really high dexterity and vitality, rather than strength, and then dual wielding. I can do a ton of damage without the need of just tanking through everything, he is very much a deadly fighter fighter.

Actually I think the developers did their best job designing around either a mage (more along the arcane warrior class) or rogue (could there be any more locked doors or chests to break into?). It seems tougher to play as a pure warrior which is how I usually go through games. I'm playing as a sword and shield noble warrior (Champion and Berserker) wearing medium weight armour (Drakes dragonskin armour at the time, and its worth the hassle of fighting a dragon to get the scales to make it), Sten is my Tank (wearing Legion of the Dead Armour) specializing in two handed weapons as a Berserker, Morrigan is my witch (gave up on her shapeshifting and have her a pure distance fighter ... building towards Arcane Warrior) wearing either the Robes of Possession (which look like her original garb) or Robe of the Magister Lord (pretty decent for a fighting as oposed to healing mage), and finally I have Leliana as an archer using Marjolaine's Bow (she is also a rogue set up as my thief out of necessity) wearing Wades Drakeskin light armour

Edit - almost forgot, the Dwarf helping you find Branka is Oghren and it is possible to keep him in your party (I still have him available but use Sten instead), its useful to befriend him because he can teach you in the Berserker Class

Nice, yeah, there are way too many unopenable chest and doors if you aren't a rogue, even Liliana can't get into a lot of it, which probably means you're missing out on a lot of stuff, oh well. Every class has it's advantages. It's good to know I can keep Oghren, I like him as a fighter, Sten seems to die to much for me, same with Alastair. Maybe I'm just not supposed to go into the Deep Roads at level 12. *shrugs*

[Ref2335]

I made it through the Deep Roads at 12 with little to no issue but likely because I have Wynne in my group. I have Alister as my tank, my Dwarf Noble warrior that specializes in 2 handed weapons as well as Morrigan.

The healing Wynne provides is a must for just about any party IMHO.
