not very easy because some of the achievements are get a level 20 for each class and do 250 damage with your main

Is level 20 the max? Cause that's actually pretty low for an RPG.

There's no level cap, but 20 isn't particularly low when you take into account that this is made by a company coming from a D&D background, where 20 is often the limit.  Anyway, 20 is about how far you'll get and that's the highest level there's an achievement for.

Yeah I finished the game at level 20, but you can definitely go much higher.

All possible party members is easy enough... you should be able to do that on your first playthrough really. Every possible ending probably isn't so easy..

You can get 20 with every character by exploiting a glitch very early on in the game.  If that's your thing. 

Do people really play games like this just to get a trophy?

" All possible party members is easy enough... you should be able to do that on your first playthrough really. Every possible ending probably isn't so easy.. "

Many of the achievements/trophies can be earned through clever saving if you're into that sort of thing. Namely the main story achievements that require you to make a pivotal choice one way or another. Just make a save before you make the choice, make one, then load and make the opposite. Voila! 
 
As for everything else it will most likely take you a minimum of three playthroughs to get them all. It's definitely doable but will take up a rather significant chunk of your life.

How does the PC version handle achievements/trophies? I'm getting a new PC in the next few days, and I'm mighty curious.

Oblivion had some of the worst achievements/trophies ever.  Far, far too boring.  I don't like ones that are so hard most people are never going to get them, but the ones in Dragon Age at least require some effort, and they're not as tedious as the Mass Effect ones either.

On the upside however Mass Effect's achievements gave bonuses to very stats and skills in the game. That doesn't seem to have made its way into Dragon Age.

" @vidiot: Not sure what you mean by handle, but there's a list of them here. I believe they are internal and not part of an achievement ecosystem like Steam or GFWL. "

" @vidiot: Actually, I have yet to try it but they're supposed to be viewable on BioWare's social website. "

" 25 is the cap "

There is no max at all, and no, 20 is not low for a western RPG. "

It has been stated repeatedly on the Bioware forums by devs that there is no hard cap. So no, 25 is not the cap. "

Yes 25 is the cap. Either depatch your game and exploit the glitch with Duncan for the darkspawn blood to get never ending easy xp or open the command console if you have the pc version and type runscript addxp 100000000 and you will hit 25 and see you can't go any further. Not that it really matters with the exploit in the current patch that lets you give yourself infinite stat points to distribute.   In regards to getting all the achievements, no it's not easy. Such as the achievement for killing the high dragon. Yea, good luck with that... "

It states in the manual itself "There is no hard cap on the number of levels" "

Well all I can tell you is I own the game, bought it for the PC on launch day, and when I exercised both the console command for xp and the exploit with duncan at the beginning of the game, which took me a week btw so don't waste your time with it, I couldn't go higher than level 25. So as far as I know that's the cap. I do know that it takes so much xp to get there though that it's impossible to reach without either using the command console or exercising an exploit. "

There is no cap...

Yes Bioware has made it virtually impossible to reach the cap unless you use exploits, so yeah, no cap :)

If you're really into getting all the achievements/trophies in Dragon Age there are infinite experience glitches that can be used.  If you want to be shady that is.

The cap is 25 because if you do that glitch with Duncan you can see that it won't go beyond. How are people saying that is not a hard cap? If you can't go beyond a certain level, isn't that a cap? The game manual says there is no hard cap because the game doesn't have enough enemies to even get to level 25. I did all sidequests and killed everything I saw and got to 23, barely. So obviously, 25 is the cap. Personally I hate how little you level up in this game because I prefer something like Mass Effect where you can get to 60.
 
I got 1050 on this because I refuse to buy the DLC Warden's Keep. Just seems like a ripoff to me. It took me pretty long, my subsequent playthroughs only took around 16 hours to beat the main storyline, and I did it all without glitching because I'm on the 360. And as far as I know there are no such glitches for that...

if the ps3 trophies mimic the 360 achievements then it isn't terribly hard to get them, but it will just take some time. usually there is a choice near the end of each quests that you can save at to be able to complete it both ways for the trophies.  the hardest achievement to get is explorer as a few of the locations are miss able depending on your choices.

There wasn't going to be a cap I think and Bioware then decided to put in 25.  It really doesn't matter though since while there are areas that do respawn enemies getting 100K of EXP at 80 (at best) a pop takes a long, long time.  There is about enough EXP around to get you around lvl 23 if you do everything.  Getting to lvl 20 without the Duncan exploit is time consuming since you can finish the game below level 20 if you jsut do main quest stuff.  Even with teh Duncan exploit it will take hours of repeation.

You have to go through every love story and finish every kind of origin, so I would assume that it would take some time.

Not easy at all. You need to play every origin story and get each cass to at least level 20. That would take a long time.

BioWare marketed the game as having no level cap, but this has been shown not to be true. However, due to the fact that there are limited enemies in the game, it is very difficult to reach the level cap, something BioWare devs have admitted to.
 
This is backed up by information regarding the Awakening expansion:
"The expansion will add a higher level cap, five new party members, additional spells and abilities, and the ability to re-spec your character, which is something that required you to pull down the console or edit your save files previously. The new quest will allow you to bring in existing characters or start a new one as you attempt to rebuild the order of Grey Wardens. Here are the relevant bits of the announcement for more details on the story:"

Second paragraph.

I was thinking about getting 100% for Dragon Age, but its more of a long-term plan.
 
The achievemnts are pretty easy to get I just need to get the following:
 
lvl 20 as rogue
lvl 20 as warrior
250 damage in one hit (don't know how I am going to do this)
Get all of the endings (i need to get 3 more, alistair, loghain, and me.)
 
I also have some persuasion and intimidate ones, which should be easy enough.

Time consuming.

"Do people really play games like this just to get a trophy? "

" not very easy because some of the achievements are get a level 20 for each class and do 250 damage with your main "

you have to beat the game three times at least because 3 of the achievements are to get level 20 as a Rouge, Mage and Warrior

Finished at level 21 as a Warrior.  Going through as a Mage/Rogue would be a big time investment.  As far as getting the different endings, you can get em all by saving right before the Landsmeet and coming back to it.  There's a handful though that I didn't even get until I played Awakening (heavy-hitter, the 25 persuasions, that stuff).
