spoiler Renold's Plea Codex entry and other ??'s

[redneck1st]

Ok folks During my current travels fhrough Fereldon as a Female Elven rogue, which I've been solo'ing through most of it. That is after I was able to leave Morigan and Allistar at the camp.<G> I've been curious about a few things and thought that I would ask and see if anyone knew.

 

First off is a codex entry entitled Renolds Plea It mentions about Renold being a master mage and his apprentice Heshir whom he's trying to track down and stop. Now when I got this codex entry was at the same time for which I found the feldspar ring which is currently in my inventory under "Plot Items". I've got this in other play throughs as well. What am I suppse to do on this here? Or is this something that was never finished and was cut?

 

Also in my Plot Items currently I've got a Tattered note which I got while traveling from one area to another and got hijacked l you do when you me up with that dwraven merchant and his mule and cart. The tattered note says "This is a blood stained note, The only words that are legible reads"Why oh why didn't we just take the flying eagles. I'm curious about this note due to the fact that it's in my Plot Items as just like the ring.

 

Also in Ozzamar proving there is a chest that belongs to a female dwarf named Myaja behind a door in the proving area. The door when I was in there wasn't interactive. I Picked pocketed some of the dwarves in ther eand when I pick pocket her I got her key but have no way to get into her room to gain access to the chest. Or is it because I usually do Bhelen's where I've got to go into the Auducan thaig and not Lord Harrowmonts.

 

Now I've pretty much got the Dalish elves main quest done up to the part where you meet and battle or side with witherfang. I was wondering since I'm pretty much going solo this time if I would mess up the story line if I did all of Redcliffe, The Mage Tower, Or the rest of Ozzamar solo.

 

In Redcliffe I've always gone and got circle mages to deal with the Connor end of things And either Moragan or Wynne to enter the fade how would this work if I'm running solo would I have to go and get one of them? Also there any plusses or minuses to killing off connors mother during the ritual instead of getting the circle mages.

 

Thanks for any all help for which you can give me on this here stuff I really appreciate it.

[ A good rule is "one-query-per-post", You're much more likely to get reponses that way. ]

 

So here's one reply: You won't mess up anything by soloing. The game will force-feed you the necessary Companion at the points where it matters. :thumbsup:

Much more likely to get a timely response anyway. I saw this last night but it was too late to get into. Anyhow...

The only thing you need to do is go collect your gold for finishing the quest. Ignore the ring.

Supposedly it is a joke (easter egg?) related to LOTR. It has no function other than to make you wonder.

I Picked pocketed some of the dwarves in ther eand when I pick pocket her I got her key but have no way to get into her room to gain access to the chest.

You can't use it (the key) as you stole it. You need to talk to her before the proving and get her to give it to you and then you (supposedly) will have access to the room. I cannot confirm as I have never done it.

 

Now I've pretty much got the Dalish elves main quest done up to the part where you meet and battle or side with witherfang. I was wondering since I'm pretty much going solo this time if I would mess up the story line if I did all of Redcliffe, The Mage Tower, Or the rest of Ozzamar solo.

 

Do things in any order you like, it just doesn't matter. You do need to have Wynne around in the tower and Oghren in the deep roads but you can use the H key to leave them behind until they are needed for the plot.

 

In Redcliffe I've always gone and got circle mages to deal with the Connor end of things And either Moragan or Wynne to enter the fade how would this work if I'm running solo would I have to go and get one of them?

I run solo but I keep companions in the rear (use the H key) so I always make sure one of them is handy if I am not a mage. I won't say that killing Anora is a plus or a minus as that is subjective but you do get Alistair quite upset if you kill her (or the boy.)

Thanks Rusty and Thandal

 

I really apprecieate the replies for which you've given me. I'd always wondered about the ring. As it never showed a Quest entry for which I can see in the completed or new quests but the ring shows up in my inventory and there is the codex entry. Who do I collect from? Probably collected in other play throughs and just never realized it.

 

As for tne note that had thrown me as it was the first time for which I had gotten it in all the play throughs for which I've done.

 

As for running through solo like I'm currently doing now with my Female City elven rogue I have been leaving the party back at the camp and running through the game. And it had me wondering about the fact of having to have them in the party when doing certain areas like the Tower or Redcliffe how it would affect the game if Alistar while doing Redcliffe or Oghren while the deep roads were left at the camp while doing them. So it's better to take them with you and just have them hold Position while you do the area in question. That can be easy enough.

 

Will have to admit that this is the first play through solo and I'm enjoying it. As for a mage never really found a use for them.<LOL> But I guess I'm going to have to run one through the game eventually so that I can get the Achievement badges for doing so. But I've still got a few more play throughs in which I can go before I have to worry about that there. Got another one as a Dalish elf and two through as a Dwarf yet.<G>

 

Thanks again for the help as well as for the information.

Collect your reward from any Mages collective representative (you got it in Denerim.) :thumbsup:

It'll take more than one playthrough to get all the Mage trophies.

 

Many of them are for acquiring all the Spell Talents in a particular School of Magic. If you spread yourself too thin, you can't complete any one of them. If you concentrate in one... Well, you see the problem. :laugh:

[RustyBlade]

If you don't like playing as one of those pesky mages and want to get it done in one playthrough, get the Dragon Age Beguiler 004 mod and cheat your way to fame and fortune or at least get those achievements :whistling:

Your right I don't care for playing one of those mages never have even when I played pnp DND. Heck I just finished the tower and sided with the Templars this time around. Don't know how much this will change things when I do the connor quest in Redcliffe or the ending but I guess I'm going to find out when I get there.<LOL> Guess I'll go play in the deep roads for a bit.

 

BTW thanks for bringing up about the beguiler might give that a shot so that I only have to play through as a mage once. After all it's so much more satisfying when you can lop off the heads of your enemies.<LOL> Somewhere there is a collection of heads laying around if you find them let me know where they are will you? I'm curious as to where they all go.

My PC has them, he has been busy making mobiles :whistling: Actually there is a mod that will make you wonder: Tombs of the Undead it says beta but I ran through it with my modded armor solo - tough but doable.
