Help the magi first. Always help the magi first, to get Wynne. She is -vital-, unless you plan to Spirit Heal spec Morrigan. But you need Wynne first for that.

Do you really need to go to Magi Tower first? Cant you do it last and still have chance to bring her with you, in party?

Plus, with Wynne's Plot ability, she becomes bloody uber with the whole Arcane Warrior thing.
Piece of advice. Don't spec your main hero as a tank. Leave that to Alistair. Pretty well the only good thing to being a warrior tank with a shield is that it gets to the point that mages are spamming you with spells and while the rest of your party is on the ground you just see "RESIST RESIST RESIST" being spammed above his head.

Where can you learn Arcane Warrior talent
I thought about mixing it with blood mage thing ... or spirit healer thing...

*SPOILER ALERT*
Werewolf temple<strike>. It's slightly hidden, you must find certain phylactery or something, I'm unsure at the moment. You just speak to it and you'll see. It's at about 75% of the level.</strike>
Quote: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

I'm thinking of making a trap expert on my next run and I got a tiny little doubt: If you mix a Grease Trap with a Fire Trap do you still get a Grease Fire? 'Cause that would be so awesome...

I've created an Arcane Warrior, it is quite powerfull, even in the early levels (lvl7). Although, you need to know how to properly tune your character.
Rock armor and arcane shields are quite useful when mixed with the AW skill.
Can't wait to get more skills, that will be awesome.
Dragon age: Origins - Irra - 12-06-2009
I don't use traps ... i don't find them useful ...
I fight usually head on, all on same target.
Any tactics? Maybe complex ones.
My head on means. Stun/paralyze as more as you can. Kill those that still move around... kill those not moving.
That Frozen thing, cone of cold or what ever is name. When you freez them they can go down with one hit. So i use that too. Same for mage with earth primal... first you make him into stone then use other earth spell to brake it.
Also i use tempest + earthquake on same spot to slow down and kill many targets at once. Works wonders on weak monsters.
Thank you Albert.

Best tactics is to send alistair as tank first (make sure his dex is high as well), equip a nice spell resistance shield on him (about 4%), get a sword with 3 rune slots (gankaxx or whatever quest, or a oath sword), make sure you slot one with 8% spell resistance and paralyze chance.
Then get a armor from outside orzamar that sells used armor, he has knight commander armor with 30% spell resist or so. Good armor, get good boots and helm and you're good for alistair. Make sure he has taunt, threaten, shield wall and rest of that maxed.
Make sure you have one DPS man now. Damage per second. You can do this by either rogue Zevran, bard, or your own character if you're going with dual weild, or you can go with Stern with dual weild, or that dwarwen berzerker in damn Orzamar.
Next you need a healer, the wyne is the best for this job.
Morrigan isn't really, because she's not a spirit healer, and that mass heal saves your ass enough times. Ofcourse, if you are diligent in collecting herbs, using poisons and traps, you can remain without the healer. Or have Morrigan as a semi hex / healer.
So buffer / debuffer if you want the leet talk.
4th dude is optional. Basically, you can go without him as well.
Alistair, your char and healer is good enough.
Tactics:
Alistair is the damn tank. Charge with him first, cast a damn revitalize on him so his health stays up, and heroic defense. He will go in, heads strong and TAUNT. After that taunt, you make sure you hit the guy he's hitting. Basically...
I soloed all three dragons with main character and a healer.
Heavy armor, ability to tank and not get hit + healer when things go bad.
And you're done.
