Alehazar Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 A couple of days ago I had started another human female mage. I was trying to enlist the aid of the Dwarves and even though I sided with Harrowmont (I simply dislike Bhelen more) I travelled to the Aeducan Thaig once I was cleared to go to Caridin's Cross. I thought to get some extra XP, killing some Darkspawn, Deepstalkers and acquire the Bag of Bodyparts to initiate the Asunder quest. Oghren and Shale were happily slaying a troupe of Deepstalkers and Leliana was raining arrows on the poor slobs, when a Deepstalker Leader broke away from the fight and made for my mage character. He was low on health and I -erroneously- believed I only needed to Shock him a little to send him to the Other Side.And then -to my own shock and dismay- the Deepstalker Leader Overwhelmed my mage!Now that was a first for me. On all my previous playthroughs, I never witnessed this before. Probably because they never got the chance; they were always quickly slaughtered before anyone of them even got a chance to say "Boo!".If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I'd never have known that Deepstalkers -or perhaps only Deepstalker Leaders- can actually overwhelm a party member.Wow!

grimmdead Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Other then laughing about this... yes its possible, hell even werewolves, and some of the spiders (even dogs) can do this to you as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about the bigger beasts -how Overwhelming they can be- but those sneaky Deepstalkers? It was quite the novelty. Of course my mage wasn't too happy about it, poor girl.Now she's even afraid of mice in the Fade. Daren't sleep because she'll see those tiny rodents coming, all small and innocent like. Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, and BAM, you're pinned to the cold, hard floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sync182 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Heh...I've been Overwhelmed by Spiders before, but never taken much damage from it. ;) Never seen Deepstalkers do it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenergy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Deepstalkers do have that ability but it's very rare that they do it. My advise is do the usual that you would do with them, i.e attack it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeWolf Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Interesting, I wouldnt have thought they'd have the body mass or ferocity for it. Guess I was wrong LOL. Too bad you didnt grab screenshots, that woulda been funny to see. Geeze I can't blame her for being scarred. Have you seen the MOUTHS those thing have? Those rings and rings of teeth with the sucker on the outside? *shivers* geeze... no frenchie kissy there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alehazar Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 [...] Too bad you didnt grab screenshots, that woulda been funny to see.[...] I was too stunned -and overwhelmed of course- to take any screenshots. I was, like, "what the hell just happened?". By the time my mage got to her feet again I was too late in healing her up, so she went down again, as dead as can be expected.

xneseyx Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I hate it when the spiders overwhelm you, the nasty crunchy noise... so I try to kill them before they get anywhere near me. But this is still funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
