A1: 

To get them back from the dead (their pasted out really) you need to kill every thing in your area before they can get back up.
A1: 

I dont think they show that...
Open your radial menu with the left trigger and select potions
To use the injury kits, use the radial menu, which is the left trigger, and hold it down. Then you will pick potions, and after that you will choose the injury kits you have.
Just hold down the trigger for the menu wheel, then go to potions. find the injury kits among the selections and the just hit A (default setting) to use them. When you let the menu wheel close, the injury kit will be used.

Question from: Tonkka(4)
You need to drag the items from your inventory into the quick bar of your group member and click to use.
Short answer - Tactics. Either:
A) Dedicate a mage character to healing
B) Teach each character how and when to use health poultices
Longer answers:
--Mage Healing--
The least expensive way to keep your party healthy is with a mage character who knows at least one healing spell. Set the mage's tactics to make healing allies a priority I prefer to do this by having the mage cast Heal or Regeneration every time that an ally's health drops below 50% as the 1st or 2nd priority tactic. The cooldown time on both spells is only 5 seconds, so the mage should have no trouble casting the spells rapidly and repeatedly. You can also instruct the mage to drink a Lyrium Potion if his/her mana drops below 25%, to help ensure that the healing magic keeps flowing through longer battles that would otherwise exhaust the mage's mana supply.
+: You don't go through as many health poultices this way. Since mana is more easily renewable than health poultices, running out of healing capability during a long quest is less of an issue.
-: Your mage will generally stay busy enough healing that he/she won't have the time (or extra mana) to cast many other spells, leaving your other characters responsible for the vast majority of the combat. Depending on your choices at the beginning of the game, it may take some time and a little bit of extra planning to ensure that you have a capable healing mage available sooner rather than later.
Also: Watch your mage's position carefully in battle. You'll want to keep the mage away from the fray so that enemies don't target/attack it, but obviously, you also need to stay within spellcasting range of the allies that the mage is responsible for healing.
--Poultice Healing--
For your melee fighters, make poultice use their first or second tactical priority. Ensure that they are always checking their own health and using poultices when their health drops below 50% or 25%. For lower-defense, lightly-armored characters attacking from range with bows or staves, make sure that they are using general behavior that will help them avoid melee combat [no good having them use a poultice if they still keep standing next to the melee enemy that is hacking at them], then make personal poultice use their next tactical priority.
+: With each character assuming responsibility for their own healing, your party is less vulnerable to being severely debilitated by the loss of one dedicated healing character. Without the need to focus one character solely on healing, you can use all four characters to dish out the pain, ending most battles more quickly and easily than a party with only three direct combatants.
-: You'll go through a *lot* of poultices and injury kits with this tactic, which will eat up a lot of coin (one way or another). Early in the game, making your own lesser poultices using the Herbalism skill can help offset some of the pain in your coin purse, but more advanced poultices will often still cost you between 7 silvers and 1 gold per poultice for the necessary ingredients. As the game progresses, you may find yourself wishing that you didn't have to dedicate each character's 1-2 highest priority tactics slots to the poultice routines.
Also: If you chose to use this tactic, having a capable Herbalist in the party may become a necessity plan accordingly. When you find shops or trader that carry your essential poultice ingredients in quantities of 99x, be sure to stock up while you have the chance.

OK you us e a injury kit k
You can't choose a specialization until you actually learn one from your companions, such as berserker from the dwarf companion.
You need to unlock a specialization for you class through one of the many means, like getting a party member to teach you their specialization, or a manual from a merchant.
You can buy the books to teach you from merchants or your party members will teach you when you get there approval rating high and ask them too such as morrigan will teach you shapeshifter if your a mage and she likes you :)
And if you can get morigan to like you there is a shapeshifter manuel in the breciealin woods and all so to be an arcane knight you have to find the gem in the elven ruins in the same place.
Go to your camp and talk to the 2 dwarves... the son (salan) or something like that can do enchantments
Later in the quest story line you come across two dwarf at Lothering when you save them they just show up at your campsite. One of them can enchant weapons with the runes.
When you get past Lothering, a dwarf merchant will join your camp, his son will enchant your weapons for no charge.
You have to have a weapon with a slot for a rune and go to an enchanter such as the dwarfs son in your party camp and ask him to enchant then select which rune you wanna use and insert :)
When you first go to your party camp there should be two dwarves and Father and a Son.
The Father Sells you wares and the Son Does Enchantments.
Choose the son and then select the weapon and place the rune in the spots the weapon has some weapons have more slots than other. The Strongest Runes are the Grandmaster Ones.
This is irrelevant but also the father says that the kid is slow but is genius with doing enchantments -Answer by:Merkaveli

After entering Lothering, run through the town past the little farms, and go up to the I guess bridge like area. You'll find two dwarves and bandits attacking them, kill the bandits and they will ask if they can join your party, agree and they will be at your camp. To get enchantments, talk to the dwarf guys son, Sandal and he'll enchant it for you. -Answer by:Dark Overlord 7
A1: 

You can't once a party member is gone they're gone for good so watch what you say
A2: 

As said above, once you've told someone to leave you cannot get them back, only thing I can suggest to doing is reloading a save to before you told Shale to leave. -Answer by:Dark Overlord 7
This is exactly where I am, its total BS, help anyone?
You have to strike at the door
Simply befriend one of morrow lerilia or alister they will begin to flirt with you at first then it will pick up I used a lot of gifts to speed up the process
You need to get their approval rating up thru gifts and such to get them to like you in the party camp. When their rating gets high enough you will start getting unique dialogue options which ask them to join you in your tent
Alright this one is actually pretty easy. What I suggest is stick with one character for the time being. Best thing to do is give who ever your trying to hook up with gifts, these can be bought pretty much any where. Dialogue in the camp with the person your pursuing is crucial also. Lastly, depending on who you are trying to impress your conversation with other people effect how much they like you too. Example Mor. is pretty much evil in a hot way, so treating the head chanter or something of that extent will increase their like towards you. hope it helps
Make the team members like you until they love you, via conversation options and gifts
NOTE! Raise the morale of ALL team members they will perform better.
If your a guy Morrigan is a easy target... if shes not falling all over you after the two books (Grimwares) one in tower one from her mother (and you don't have to kill her either if your having trouble) are done your doing something wrong. I keep getting her to 100% approval and I'm not even evil.

A1: 

Click on all party members and run to the left away from the tentacles,put the party on hold position then go down till you can just see her and shoot her with your bow till she's dead.You will on occasion have to pull back from some tentacles and also shoot some darkspawn who shoot at you.
A2: 

It's easier if your either a mage or have morrigan in your party use the cone of cold and then switch to your rogue character either yourself or zevran as he has best two handed specializations. then have alistar to guard you and wynn to watch your life
There are several ways you can earn coin, but I haven't figured a way to get like a lump sum or anything. Mostly, I take everything I find, and move quite a lot of it into "junk" in the inventory, then I sell all my junk to the merchant at the party camp.
Crime Wave In Denerim helped me get some nice coin. Also if you have downloaded the dragon armor piece and you are playing as a job that cant equip it it sells for nice coin at a merchant. But alas you wont be able to use it for anyone else.
If you've downloaded Shale when you go to Redcliff tom save it from the undead convince the tavern keeper to help the militia.The barmaid will then give you everything in the inventory for free,including the crystals.Go out the door and back in and she'll have more crystals.Do this till your inventory is full.After wards go to camp and sell the crystals.If the tavern keeper was killed then you can keep doing this till you have all the gold you want or you get tired of doing it.
Sell the cyrstals to the blacksmith he pays more.
Put most expensive item in junk(just one). Go to merchant. highlite item in junk. press tryangle than X almost at the same time(but tryangle first). Merchant will buy back at double price. Press left and buy back. Do it again and again! Faster if only one item in junk and buy back junk.
Look in the cheats section and find the Duplicate glitch and the Easy money one. It basically allows you to duplicate things or you can sell things at twice their value and buy them back and repeat. -Answer by:Merkaveli
The armor appears in your inventory. you just have to wait until you're strong enough to wear it. as for the shale thing, if that's what i'm thinking of, you speak to levi in the party camp to get the quest that will take you there. you can select the camp when you're on the main map screen, in between places.
Correct, the armor does appear in your inventory, however it is only the chest piece. You can buy the helm/foot/hand gear from the merchant in your camp. As for Shale, you are wrong. The DLC involving Levi is the "Soldier's Peak" DLC. What your looking for is the spot on your map undearneath the frostback mountains (i cant remember what it is called and it disappeared off my map once I finished). you go there and there is a cut scene involving a merchant who wants to get rid of his "control rod" (you can get it for free dont buy it from him!) That starts the quest for shale
I had this problem too. I think its because you have to be connected to xbox live while playing the game to have these extra's playable. I had my mate download tham on his network and then because I have no internet connection, they simply dont show up in the menu's ? ( It's exactly the same kind of thing for Oblivion ) -Answer by:TheJudge
It's called Sulcher's Pass -Answer by:twiggymarie
Apparently Zevran and Leliana are both bi...
Hahaha
Yep, I've come to that same conclusion. Leliana likes to flirt w/ my female character, while Zevran HARDCORE flirts w/ my male character! I think if you wanted to swing that way...those 2 characters would be game!
You can actually have a foursome with zevran leilana and the chick in the black pearl who teaches you the duelist specialization first have zev done nad leilana's side quest complete and toughen her up then take them both down to the black pearl and get your freak on lol -Answer by:twiggymarie
Alistair is hopelessly straight! However, there is a mod called equal love or something like that that appears to be working. I am playing as a male and he is quite interested. So far, he says its too soon to go into the tent, but I'm hopeful! lol
Zev and Morigan are both hopeless sluts and not interested in any long term relationship. If it's just the sex you want, go with Zev. I sticking with Alister.

Yes it is much easier to get the achievement with Leliana if you play as a female character, she admits to you that she prefares the company of woman. Naughty minx!
As for Alister well if he's not gay then im am the arl himself!

A1: 

Find the chest in the wilds, which is inside some ruins atop a large hill in the southeast to find the treaties.
They are basically agreements from various kingdoms, races and organizations promising aid to the gray wardens should they ask.

A1: 

It depends on the character. Some characters, like Leliana, Zevran, and Morrigan appear to be bisexual, whereas Alistair is straight. There is one part you can get a...suggestion of a threesome, though there is no video to go with it (it's with the main character, Zevran, and the duelist woman).
A1: 

You have to unlock the center area by beating the demons in the five surrounding areas. It's really easy once you get all the shapeshifts. After that and your actually fighting him just rock him with your best abilities. You have to have the healer in you party so keep you health up and he should drop quickly.
A2: 

I suggest using the fire shape creature. He seams to be really tough and I didnt have to heal at all.
A1: 

No, you must spend all available stat and skill points then the achieve will unlock.
I had this same problem because I took the romance with Allistair too far and what I had with Leliana went into friend mode (even though I've maxed out her approval rating)
If you have ever referred to her as a friend in conversation (i.e., "What are friends for?"), she either will not sleep with your or you're going to have a very difficult time getting her to. Not sure, but you might be f'd.
I too have had trouble with leliana - from what ive read on other sites you have to avoid conversations with her about freindship, and the maker - but aparantly youve also got to do her quest "lelianas past" but thats just what ive read
A1: 

You need to explore the different islands until you find a man. he will let you shape shift into a golem. When you are a golem get close to the door and press A. He should break it.
A1: 

You get 2 specialization points at levels 7 and 14 - once picked they cannot be changed -well as far as I know
A2: 

Once chosen, there is no way to change your specialisations other than restarting the game, or reloading an earlier profile. -Answer by:jayd0872
A1: 

Honestly? Are you that incompetent? Open your radial menu with the left trigger and go to your potions. You can use this same option for health potions and other items similar to that.
