1) There are three ways to receive new gifts:

You can find them while exploring the world - be sure to check all chests and cabinets

You can buy them from vendors - some merchants sell more than one gift

You can steal them from certain civilians - look out for the people marked in yellow.

2) It is not recommended to sell any gifts you find because you will not be able to redeem them. The same goes for giving them to a random person. Remember that if you give a gift to the right person, you can get 5-15 approval points. If you are not sure who should receive the gift, save your game.

3) Try not to give more than 2-3 gifts in a row to the same person, because you will start receiving less points for each subsequent gift. Generally, the best option is to give one gift per person per camp stay.

4) If most of your companions refuse to accept a certain gift, there is a chance that this item is a unique gift and you should “reserve it” for later or find someone who will be very happy to receive it. In most of these cases, finding the recipient will result in at least 10 points and possibly even opening a new conversation topic.

5) Avoid giving gifts while staying in the open world. Instead, always return to camp and once you are in the safe zone, start handing out gifts.

The first column in the table below shows the location of the gifts and you need to use below the table to find them. For example:

- M21, P1 means you must open card 21 and find the symbol P1

- M21, 1 means you must look at card 21 and find the merchant marked 1 (you must buy the gift instead of begging for it or stealing it)

- M21, 1 means you must look at card 21, find the person marked 1, and either start a conversation or steal the gift using stealing skills.

The second column displays the name of the gift.

The third column suggests who should receive the gift in order to receive the maximum number of points. In some cases (shared gifts), more than one person can choose any member of your team.

Important! You can increase your chances of unlocking general gifts by visiting certain merchants many times. Wine is one of the few examples here. You can also get some rare gifts by sending your mabari hound to find items from the environment, and if you're lucky, the dog will bring you something valuable.

Trusting relationships are a guarantee to keep companions in the squad. You can maintain and improve your favor level with the help of gifts, which are sold from merchants in different parts of Amaranthine or obtained while completing quests. Sometimes in locations there may be places near which one or another companion will share his thoughts. As in the original game, a low level of trust can lead to negative consequences - the departure of a companion. The loss of each companion will affect the strength of the squad, as well as access to. Due to the short duration of the supplement, there is no time for love, so close relationships do not suffer. Gifts should be given taking into account the character and interests of the companion in the throne room of the Vigilance Tower, switching between companions directly from the inventory using the arrows and dragging the icons, which will save time on forming a squad and changing locations. A positive reaction to a gift significantly increases the level of favor. As the relationship improves, the chance to learn more about the lives of your companions will also increase. They prefer to start conversations on important topics themselves in the throne room of the Vigil Tower. It is better to give the main gifts (the last ones on the list) at the very end, when they are mentioned in the conversation.

Origin unexpectedly rolled out a new gift game to the delight of the public. This time, Origin decided that this time it will not be another logical casual game from the PopCap Games studio, creators of the magnificent Plants vs. Zombies. The gift was Dragon Age: Origins from the Canadian studio BioWare. This is a role-playing game, in other words, RPG. The main character, as in most computer games, has to save humanity. He is the last member of a mysterious organization that has been defending this fantasy world from the attacks of evil for centuries. The game has quite an interesting gameplay, in which there is not only the opportunity to increase the level of your hero to the maximum or cut down all the evil adversaries in the world, but also interaction with game characters, relationships with the protagonist’s companions. And also, a non-linear plot and a huge game world and the creation of your own, unique character to suit your taste.

Download Dragon Age: Origins using the Origin client. You can view the game on the Origin store website. Dragon Age: Origins is available for free until October 14, 2014. It is worth considering that only the standard edition of the game is available for free download.

Dragon Age: Origins is an excellent RPG that can be recommended to all fans of this genre. Monsters of this genre, BioWare studio did not let its fans down in 2009 by releasing this game. They already have the legendary Baldur’s Gate, excellent Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect and other games behind them.

In the game Dragon Age: Origins, companions play a very important role in the progression process, of which you can meet as many as ten. If you make friends with them and build strong relationships, you can periodically receive amenities in the form of bonuses to your abilities, and also gain access to quests. And of course, this comes in handy when a crisis situation arises.

Leliana will meet you during the battle with Logelain

You can also move beyond friendship and start dating certain characters. To do this, you should complete the personal quest of the chosen one. You should also remember that your companion will leave if their level of approval of your actions decreases and is less than one hundred. Also, if you are tired of some Dragon Age companions, you can always say goodbye to him yourself. In crisis situations, any hero-companion can get angry with you and turn into an enemy - skirmishes are not excluded.

Companions in Dragon Age: general information

Throughout the game world there are some places where you should go in search of companions. It is there that you will start talking to them, and you can even open some kind of extra-plot quest, which your dialogue partner will tell you about. If you want to start a conversation, then you should go to Lothering, to Redcliffe (bridge), to the northern part of the Denerim Trade Quarter, the bridge in Orzamaria, you can also go to the Tower of Mages and to the Dalish camp. At the same time, the chance to start talking with a companion can only be used once. If you want to do it again, you will have to enter the location again.

Alistair will accompany you almost from the beginning of the game

The guard who accompanies you can also speak to those who come with them. At the same time, the location of the camp allows you to choose many topics. Your friend can initiate the conversation himself. This serves to unlock quests and work on relationship levels.

List of satellites:

• Alistair is a soldier who will accompany you almost from the start of the game. If you act in a way he doesn't like, he may leave you during the Landsmeet.
• Morrigan is a wizard. He is also a werewolf, whom you will meet when the plot leads you to Ishal.
• Leliana - this girl will meet you during the battle with Logelain.
• Zevran - a real bandit whom you will recognize on the Long Road / Morrigan (werewolf mage, entropy, Codex page 181) - joins after the rescue from the tower of Ishal.
• Sten - you will redeem him from serving the Reverend in Lotheringey
• Winn is a magician doctor who can become your companion while providing assistance to the Circle of Magicians.
• Ogren is a berserker who will become your companion when you go after Perfect Branka in the Deep Roads.
• Sheila is a warrior who will want to be with you when you activate the control metal in Honlite. It is an add-on to the main game "Stone Prisoner".
• Loghain MacTeer will replace Alistair in the finale of the Landsmeet.

Each character has its own character:

• Leliana, Winn, Alistair are good heroes, but they can take a neutral position. chaotic good, neutral good, ordered good.
• Morrigan, Zevran, Sten are evil heroes, although they can also become neutral.
• Sheila, Ogren, Loghain are neutral characters.

Dragon Age: Companion Gifts

You can present gifts to your comrades in order to increase the level of influence they have on the character. Almost always, what you give will be of interest to only one of your companions. So you don’t have to worry that someone else will need it and the one who won’t give it to your godfather will be offended. For example, Lelianna really likes the religious talismans of the church, but it’s better not to give this to Morrigan.

In order to give gifts to companions in Dragon Age to those who need them, you need to refer to a special Code. There is everything about how to increase Influence up to level 25. You can also learn from the dialogues. Some gifts provoke your companion to talk to you.

Zevran is very fond of precious bullion and leather goods

By the way, if you try to give a gift to someone who doesn’t like it, your companions will simply refuse. But this only applies to special gifts. After all, there are some that suit everyone.

Each gift increases your approval level by as much as ten points. However, with each subsequent one, this number of points awarded will decrease by one. However, there is one category of gifts that gives you the opportunity to earn more points than 10 - these are Special Gifts. They appear when the companion himself asks you. Only then will you know what they need. For example, Zevran may ask you for Dalish gloves; they will increase the level of influence by 12 points.

All simple gifts that can be given to each companion can only increase the level by five points. However, if you give with a negative intent, the impact decreases.

Influence is best increased when you communicate with your escort, and if you are also dating him, you can easily increase it to hundreds.

Dragon Age: details about each companion

Alistair is very loyal to you, he will not leave you even if you achieve a level of influence and approval of minus one hundred. We don't kick him out. And if you reach a high level of Approval, Alistair will help your Guardian to become a Templar.

Alistair has a special quest “Alistair’s Family”, for this you will need to go with Alistair to his sister.

It is possible to get rid of this companion only if you do not kill Loghain.

And for Alistair to fall in love with you (if you play as a female character), then all you have to do is flirt. Then there are two possible endings: marriage, breakup.

Morrigan

Morrigan will come to you when Flemeth insists on it. Morrigan will be able to turn you into a werewolf like her. She is selective about who she helps and also doesn't like it when you are too nice to others.

Her special quest is called "Grimoire Flement". And to do this, in Dragon Age, companions must go with you in search of the Black Grimmoire. Irving will have it.

To start an affair with Morrigan, you need to reach an influence level of 30 and be alone with her. After this, she can give you a magic ring, but there will be no happy ending with her.

She can leave before the battle at the end of the game or leave after you win.

The girl will meet you when you fight the Loghain warriors. She will help you find out what the Bard's specialty is. Her quest is her Past. To complete this task, you need to talk with Marjoline, and then with Leliana. In some cases, you can make her tougher if you insist in dialogue with her on the similarities between Leliana and Marjoline.

You can have an affair with Leliana either as a woman or as a man. If all goes well, you will receive a ring from her.

If in the process of completing the Urn of Sacred Ashes you somehow desecrate the ashes, then Leliana will try to leave you. Only hardened Dragon Age companions will not do this.

Zevran and his company of bandits will attack your group. You can either kill him or take him into your team after you deal with the others. He will turn you into murderers.

He does not have his own task, but a critical situation arises - you can cross paths with Talisen. If you are on bad terms with Zeran, he will leave for someone else. Next, you can even fight Talisen.

Any gender can have an affair with Zevran.

Mabari

Mabari is a dog that you can get in the prologue if you chose to play as a Noble. And if not, then you should complete the Houndmaster's quest.

Stan

Dragon Age companions can appear at any time. This is how you will get to know Stan - you will need to help him leave the reverend mother.

His task is related to the return of the sword. It is located with the gnome Dvin from Redcliffe. It can either be ransomed, taken by force, or found in housing.

Stan may leave you if you take him to the Vault from the Urn of Sacred Ashes.

Wynn

Wynn, like the rest of the Dragon Age Origins companions, will join during the passage of “Broken Circle”. And now you will also have to complete her special quest. It's called Wynn's Regret. And now the girl will tell you about the character Ainerin.

And only when you find him to talk, the quest will be considered completed.

Wynn may leave when you tell him about your intention to fight the magicians or you have desecrated the ashes.

Oghren

This companion has his own task for you: you will need to find his beloved Felzy.

There is also a secret ally in the game.

Loghain

Loghain will join you when you do not kill him in the Landsmeet. However, Alistair will then be offended - he will leave you instead.
