I think I am going to have to start the game over and try and figure out how you use the spells and stuff properly, not to mention all the other bits and bobs that you need to get to do.
(I got stuck, so instead of getting frustrated, I thought maybe it best to start over.)

It certainly pays to take on and complete all the Chantry board missions (and the mission bag jobs at the Circle tower). You get neat goodies, money and, of course, experience.
I've found the 'time limit' missions really aren't...
At Redcliff, I opted for 'go fetch a bunch of circle mages' instead of 'sacrifice the silly pseudo-french bitch'. They told me I have a day to go get the mages.
Instead, I went all over the countryside, fulfilling side missions, etc. When I finally got around to going back to Redcliff, they were still waiting. So much for the urgency.
And here I was hoping the Demon would slaughter all the remaining villagers and repopulate with ghouls and such, so I could, in turn, kill them.
Ooops.
The dwarf at Redcliff was cowering in his house when I went there. I broke in and found him and his bodyguards, and tried to convince him to help fight the zombies. They gave me lip... then they all died. Guess he won't be joining my party.

Re: Dragon Age: Origins
Looks like you are enjoying the game Jules, you following the dialogue or skipping through it?

Re: Dragon Age: Origins
It's a 50/50 thing.
If I can tell the guy I'm talking to is probably going to fight, I'll use the abuse options in the dialogue to rile him up, and skip the responses (hit 'esc' when he starts to babble. Then the text appears at the top of the screen, and generally, I can read faster than they speak). If it seems like important babble, I'll listen to it, to see if there are leads to future missions.
Admittedly, Shale is fun to listen to, when he contributes to discussions. Things like "It may be more forthcoming if I rip off some of it's less important parts" (that was the argument that convinced the ferry man to take us to the circle tower)
But I'm damned sure not reading all that crap in the Codex!

Got lucky yet? If you butter up the chicks with gifts you can watch some soft porn.

Re: Dragon Age: Origins
My character is a female elf... admittedly, she is a bit butch, so some dyke action is entirely possible.
And I sell most gifts. I hang on to one or two, in case someone gets ticked with me, but really, if they want to leave, I will kill them and pillage their corpses.
I once gave my Mabari dog a bone as a gift, but I don't think that qualifies as soft porn.
