It is normally that difficult early in the game all i got to say is to keep a healing mage pawn with you and save after every fight. Make sure to listen to the pawns advice such as "cutting off the tails of the lizards makes them extremely weak."

Pawns don't have a time limit, they stay with you until you release them or they die on you.

If you have a few friends who have played the game try using their higher level pawns as friend pawns are free.

If you don't really have a friend who played this and if you have an xbox then you can add me for my high level warrior, my gamertag is  xXevildeeds19Xx and when the game gets to easy you can just release him :)

It depends on what you use, Have you ever try narrowing the eyes to make them look serious or put their lips into a smile it would add some character.

Oh, I was misinform on my last post, skill stifling prevents classes who use physical weapons from using weapon skills while silence prevents mages and sorcerers from casting. Possession is important because when dragon's take control over a pawn they will keep trying to attack you until you down them and pick them up. None of the healing spells in the game take away the effect so unless you have the healing item to cure possession having the resistance high is a plus.

skill stifling is a status effect thats make you unable to do any of your classes techniques, it is pretty important for mages but as a warrior not as much. Petrification and Possesion are the most important to boost up the resistance of. dragons usually take between 7 to 10 game days to come back. I don't know about the offline ur-dragon but if you took part of the killing of the online ur-dragon they should appear near the player ranking stone. If yourself deals a killing blow to the onlline ur-dragon then 20 wakestones will immediately appear.

yes, if you use the godsbane trying to farm at the everfall more easily you can still use it to start the new game plus. The reason is because when you use the godsbane it just takes you back to a previous save and the previous save will still have the godsbane as you still had it when you made that save.

I actually liked the drawn out fight with the dragon at the end, with all its cinamatics. As long you don't act like an idiot the fight is actually pretty easy, I only died once. I would have pre-order this game if I knew it was going to be this epic.

when you collect the 20 wakestones and turn in the quest to the black chick pawn(completely forgot her name) you would go to fight the lasat "story" boss, make sure to have the godsbane blade in your inventory. When you defeat the last boss and have nothing more to do stab yourself in the heart and the story will have its last cinamatic cut scene, afterwards you would be taken to the main menu. Load your saved file and then you can start new game plus

I agree until the bioware part, bioware just made a deal with the devil when they joined EA and made them rush development on their releases. 

yeah, you can customize how your character looks in depth. The size and weight of your character also effects gameplay as you may have more or less stamina to do moves or how much weight you can carry

It wont, have fun :P
