Since this thread seems to be a catch-all discussion, how much do the different backgrounds change DA:O playthroughs? I'm trying to decide between a second run or picking up DA2. So what would I get, a different starting story and then end up becoming a GW and doing all the same poo poo with the same people?

And because DA2 isn't on Steam, where's a good place to get it if I do?

Just replay the different intros.

I'd argue it's worth it to play a dwarf at least once, since it makes Orzammar even better.

drat, I wanted to play a dwarf too but I think I've decided on rolling a Mage and installing a respec mod so I can try out all the spells. Although I suppose I could just do that with Wynne and Morrigan and a respec mod.

Does anybody wana recommend me some DA:O mods? I'm more looking for gameplay mods, but I'll hear about content to check out too. I already have Respec and UI Scaling. Are there any mods that make Shapeshifter viable without just making its autoattack overpowered or something equally dumb?

Edit: Add Lock Bash to my list of current mods because I just got it to work with a fresh install from the most recent version here.
E2: it's definitely setting ItemBreakChance to NONE that's breaking it. Damnit now I have to save scum every chest :ninja:
