I can't seem to find a bug forum, so I guess this is the place to post. Please forgive me if this has already been posted.

I've noticed that some encounters I had in my first runthrough (the Shriek encounter in camp, the Revenant encounter in Denerim, the Elven Werewolf hunters after 'Nature of the Beast') did not occur in later playthroughs. Now, I did not complete the first runthough before starting the second one, but that shouldn't have caused this issue.

In the case of the camp ambush, I went through and acquired all the allies without having the encounter.

I have done a *complete* tour of Denerim (over and over)  and have never encountered the phylactory.

I have done a *complete* tour of Fereldan after the "Nature of the Beast" questline, and have never encountered the werewolf hunters.

Now, in the case of the camp ambush, I was able to use the console to force-start it (again, after aquiring all allies and doing the traditional Fereldan Tour). However, I am not sure what to do about the other encounters.

First question: Can anyone else confirm that this is a bug.

Second question: If this is a bug, is there a workaround?

Third question: Is there something I can do in the console to rectify this issue?

Thanks!

The camp ambush, with the shrieks, will only occur if you are leaving directly from one of the main game locations. IE, it will never trigger if you go to camp first and then select the new location.



The Werewolf hunters aren't a random encounter exactly, they show up when you go into the West Brecilian Forest location after completing Nature of the Beast.



The Revenant encounter in Denerim only shows up once, if you got it and didn't realize it, you've missed it for the game. Did you ever fight an ambush where you were trapped on one side of a gate from you companions and you had to raise the lever to open the gate. That was were the Revenant was.
