In the first version there are a few differences from the current build but the one you want to know about is the difference between a spider boss in Caridins Cross. If you downloaded the game via a disk and never connected your game to Origins then you will get the launch version of the game, this version will make your life a living nightmare.

Something that you may not have considered is what version your game is currently running on, but trust me this makes a massive difference. This is, not surprisingly really F-ING difficult. Through out the duration of the game you can have up to 3 companions assisting you in any and all battles, but if you're an absolute mad man like me (and appearantly wrath bringer) you can say screw you to the companions and go through the entire adventure with one quarter of the intended firepower. First of all what does soloing nightmare mean? In Dragon Age: Origins you can pick an in-game difficulty ranging from easy to nightmare, the later is unexpectedly really difficult. As requested by bringer here is my guide on how to solo Nightmare difficulty in Dragon Age: Origins.
