    I got the meteor rock (super man) encounter during my current runthrough. I'm guessing that this is from WK, since you need that add on installed in order to do something useful with the rock.

    You need the DLC and it will trigger in all playthroughs with the DLC installed.

    Not true. It didn't trigger on my male rogue human playthrough.

    Weird, did you complete the Keep? I've had this encounter in all my games so either I'm lucky or you're unlucky but I honestly believed that it would trigger in any game.

    Did the keep right after Lothering. In fact I had the meteor before I even went to the keep on my mage play through.

    I checked on the official forum and it appears that people report many different things regarding this encounter which all point to one fact, i.e. it's random. I guess I've been rather lucky in my games.

    Ok, back to my game here people... :p

    I just got ambushed by Zevran and his assassins. I decided to let him live only because...
    I know he'll betray me later on in the game if I just let him sit in the camp; so I can just kill him later along with his buddy for more XP. :bigeyes:
    But that got me thinking, if killed him outright, will his buddy still come after me later on?

    Another thing I was thinking about, does DAO have an XP cap?

    If you talk to Zevran a few times in camp and give him a few gifts that he likes (gloves, boots, silver/gold) he will be loyal until the end. You don't need to take him out of camp to get that loyalty

    IIRC there's no XP cap, although you can't gain levels past 25.

    Yay! I finished the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest. Now to Denerim to get Wade's Superior Dragonbone armor set to complete my AW. :love: I’m now flat broke since I had to buy the grandmaster flame and lightning runes for the Spellweaver sword.

    Alistair still has a looooong way to go before he can wear the Juggernaut armor set, so I think I'll go get Shale, clear out WK, and do RtO before doing any more of the treaty quests.

    YES go get Shale! Best NPC in the game! Wish you could romance Shale instead of the other annoying ones :(

    Getting crushed while tumbling with a thing lookalike is not my idea of romance. :p

    If you did the circle of mage first you could of gone to Denirum and got Wade Scales before completing the Scared Ash quest. That is how I go about it.

    That's exactly how I went about it. I didn't get any drake/dragon scales until the end of the Urn quest...so in that sense, I *could* have gone to wade before finishing the Urn quest. But by the time you meet the High Dragon, the only thing left to do in the Urn quest is the Gauntlet...so it would be a waste of time to interrupt the quest instead of finishing it right then and there.

    Right now I've got Wade playing with the Drake scales as I'm just going from town to town; trying to set off as many random encounters as I can.

    Well, some guys like larger ladies. Which Shale certainly is. ;)

    Shale's a lady?
    I know she's female, but calling her a lady is taking things too far. :D

    Well, was a female would be more proper. It's a golem after all; it's spirit came from a female dwarf.
