The guys who made this game aren’t stupid. Let’s get into the basics of statistic guidelines. Cunning is the second-most important stat to pay attention to. But for the rogue, you can’t get away with this. With any class you have to pump cunning until around 22. Knowing what these are will determine if your rogue is more kickass than James Bond himself or a useless failure.

There’s a few specific things you must do and specific talents you must avoid. I didn’t figure out why until I made my own rogue. I thought it was just par for the course, until she hit level 20 or so and magically stopped dying all the time. She died repeatedly and always needed watching out for. Case in point, during my very first play-through on the game, I used Leliana in my party. I would not recommend a rogue for people starting the game for the first time, as it isn’t as straight-forward as other classes and you will definitely get mixed up. When developed right they are deadly, and make even a Nightmare Mode play-through run smooth. This post is a part of an ongoing feature here at Nightmare Mode to provide you with an expert’s strategy guide on playing Dragon Age.
