World Atlas - Introduction | World Atlas Dragon Age: Origins Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This world atlas is a supplement to the main guide to Dragon Age: Origins PC video game and instead of explaining the quests it focuses primarily on describing the world and showing how to surviving in the harsh environment. There are five chapters to choose from:

The first chapter has two main topics - it explains the process of creating a new character and tells how to keep making the entire team stronger by choosing good attributes, skills, talents and spells depending on the race and class. As a bonus a description of hidden specializations has been added along with hints on how to unlock them.

The second chapter is definitely the biggest one. It offers a large set of maps of different parts of Ferelden. Each map has a lot of markers on it, informing about possible treasures, threats, vendors, guild members or areas of interest. Each group of maps has its own description written in text, making the process of finding certain items or characters easier.

The third chapter of this atlas lists a lot of useful things, including all traders found in Ferelden along with the best goods offered by them or places where precious tomes can be acquired. A lot of efforts have been put into describing the item crafting feature, featuring complex charts with available healing mixtures, poison and traps.

The fourth chapter focuses all of its attention on the followers being added to the team throughout the course of an entire game. Useful hints help in finding out how to improve relations with them and this chapter also tells where to find the gifts that would make them happier.

The final fifth chapter contains a bestiary and an index of intelligent enemies encountered during the game, as well as a full list of achievements available in the PC version and in both console versions of Dragon Age: Origins.
