    Just rented Dragon Age and the absolute last thing I want to do is make a lousy character. I figured this was the place to ask to get some much needed advice.
     
    Can I munchkin out Repair, Perception, Agility  and Energy Weapons and just spam plasma death the whole game?

    I just want to make a decent rogue or warrior and not get my ass kicked constantly because I put experience points in the wrong places. That's all.

    Yes. I'm just god-awful when it comes to making characters for RPG's.

    Are you sure you didn't mean to post in the Fallout 3 forum, because none of those stat areas exist in Dragon Age (at least not under those names

    Rouge:
    Dexterity and Cunning
     
    Warrior: 
    Strength and Constitution or Dexterity, depending on what type of Warrior you want to play.
     
    Although, you are not naming anything specific to Dragon Age, so I don't really know if I'm actually helping...

    I spent hours and hours yesterday pondering and considering every last thing before I remembered my cardinal rule of making complicated ass characters in RPGs, which can be summed up as "Fuck it".  Any character I make will be fine since I'm only playing on normal, so I opted for a dwarf, who I gave a sweet beard, a dual-sword specialty, and the name of "And my axe".  All that took about 3 minutes and I'm enjoying this character a lot.  Side note:  I just got a dog as a party member from a quest, which I promptly named "And my dog".

    Just put points in what YOU feel is cool, then on your second play through you can use what you learned to make a god-like character.

    I see what you did there. Making it look like you're confusing Dragon Age with Fallout 3. Very witty. In fact, it's so clever I can hardly get my head around the comical genius. So well done it hurts.
