Gotcha.

How does Dragon Age fare for level scaling?

Trying to remember if there were no-go areas etc as you describe for Morrowind in Baldur's Gate but it was so long ago ...

Dragon Age does do level scaling, but it isn't particularly strict. If you go to a certain place when you're level eight, the encounters are going to be beatable, but they'll still be harder than if you go there at level 18. You fight a lot of the same creatures throughout the game, but the designers intended for you to feel more and more badass against them as you grow in power. By the end-game, when you're around level 20 or so, you've got a lot more mass-combats against level 10s whereas when you're level 10 you're more likely to face five or six monsters of levels 8-12.

Aye.

Very reminiscent of Baldur's gate so far. Done the beginning stages of a warrior and as a mage.

Prefer the warrior, I like the hacking and slaying and the blood. And the armour. And shouting RAAAAA.

Zapping someone with lightning isn't nearly as satisfying as cutting their limbs off.

So far it gets a
