I have just install Dragon Age Origins it came with 2 discs but it did not ask me to put in disc 2 when do I use it.

Also is ther anywhere I can go to see how to make a good Warrior character and which skill I should use.

I can't remember right off the bat, but the second disc is either used while playing the game or is just a bonus disc.

As for making a good warrior, do whatever fits your style. I personally enjoy warriors specializing in two-handed weapons while almost everyone else will go for dual-wielders and a few will choose to build their warriors as archers.

You can find the skills both, in game and on the Dragon Age section of this site..

No idea what the second disk is for, but given Bioware/EA did something similar with Mass Effect I wouldn't worry about it.

As for Warriors... two handed is the most fun. Dual Blades are better for rogues due to backstabbing and work better if you want a high dexterity build (which means light or medium armor.) Indominitable, is one of the best active modes in the game, as it makes you resistant to most knockdown and a lot of stun effects.

Shield types are pretty dull, good for defense... pretty average in attack. Once you have a dual wielder armoured like tank, give them the Berserker and Templar feats and watch them destroy mages and everyone else in their path. Ranged I have never tried with a warrior, but it doesn't make a lot of sense in combination with the warriors specialisations, though War Cry and Rally might be useful. Strangely Deulist is one of the best specialisations I found with a ranged type, as it makes them uncannily good at shooting arrows while dodging attacks.

TBH, I find Warriors the dullest type of character to play as, and as the game progresses, you will probably find yourself switching more to Morrigan and Wynn to control the flow of combat or Zevran and Leiliana for pre-emptive strikes.

If you want to go for dealing out the most damage in the shortest amount of time go for a dual wielding berserker, If you like to see big damage numbers over a longer period of time (and can tolerate the graphical delay glitch, which makes it look like you've completely missed) then go two-handed.

If you want an archer, then you'd probably be better off being a rogue.

Any of the origins is good for a fighter, my preference for that is a Dwarf Noble, love the story line in that. Human Noble can start you off with better equipment, but I couldn't hack the storyline.

Dragon Age: Origins comes with but ONE disk.

Dragon Age: Origins ULTIMATE Ed comes with two disks for PC (and X-Box. PS is 1 Blue-ray). One contains the main game (Origins), the second contains the Expansion Pack Awakening plus the following:
Feastday Pranks
Feastday Gifts
Blood Dragon Armor (inclusive with a Code to redeem for Mass Effect, btw)
Stone Prisoner (Shale the Golem)
Warden's Keep (Starfang enabled, an excellent weapon for warriors and rogues)
Return to Ostagar (the arms and armor of the king are yours)
Leliana's Song (A unique view on the character, plus a set of Armor great for rogues)
Darkspawn Chronicles (A twist on the Battle for Denerim. Gives Blightblood, an interesting sword)
Golems of Amgarrak (High-level combat, plus an item for use in Origins & Awakening)*
Witch Hunt (Find out what happens to Morrigan, and also an item for the main game)*

Not included in the Ultimate Ed: promo items such as Bulwark of the True King, which was a limited time offer from gamestop, I think.

I suspect you might have bought Ultimate, but won't actually swear. Ultimate gives content for about $50 USD that, if purchased sperately, totals $114 USD, making it a fair steal.

* These two DLCs I do not have, as yet.

can't say for sure since I bought the Digital Download version of Dragon Age, but assuming it's the same as Mass Effect 1 & 2 the second disk is probably the alternative language files
