Dragon Age II, Part 2: The Qun is pretty deep, you wouldn't understand it.

P.S. My favorite character from Awakening didn't show up :( Sigrun! I hope she shows up in future sequels.

I doubt Sigrun will appear again in the DA franchise, sadly. Awakening pulls a double whammy on her; she always dies while defending Vigil's Keep, and even if you bring her with you to face the Mother, she may disappear into the Deep Roads if you didn't do her personal quest.

Tried playing my no-mage in the party play through for change.

...and immediately hit prick wall in fight that included credible amount of enemies and an assasin. Just can't see a way to deal with those without a mage in the party for long duration CC. I can only imagine mage mobs would be even harder.

Was that intentional or an amusing mis-spelling?

I find the "no-mage" party tends to work pretty well against street gangs, but the game is definitely geared towards setting up party combos and there aren't a lot of those between warriors and rogues.
