if my game would just run without going into an hour or more of super slow motion i would be happy to buy DLC.



as it is now, i have to crtl+alt+del because a cut sceen is taking 40 forevers to go through.



its not the programers or the dev's, its the managment, and the exec's, the discission makers that are holding up on the patches to fix the game that they say is "as is" with no warnety.



they are pushing for new DLC to make more money, rather than to give the programers the green light to make 1.04 to fix whats already broken.



while they are giving us the bird, they are turning loyal fans into disgruntled unhappy fans.



its like karma, what goes around, comes back around and will bite them in the rear, as loyal fans say if thats how were going to be treated, then we will go elsewhere for our gaming fun.



this is what someone else said, EA gobles up small companies and leaves them burning in EA's wake.



Bioware got gobled up, and is now sporting the black eye because of EA's wrecklessness.

Anyway, back on topic, my only real complaint about this DLC is that we don't get any Disciple characters.

A little dialogue would've been nice.



But who knows, maybe these Darkspawn have personalities in different ways?

[Demitra]

I will skip it. I cant see sense in it in any way. The Dev team must understand that the game stood on the dialogue and romance options. And people would want answers about Morrigan and the child.



I just see worry of squeezing cash from people in the idea of this expansion.

 Was just reading the preview in Gamespots - it may be a creative Idea and it seems that a lot of people like it to massacre the formerly Party Members, Lovers and Friends, or unarmed elves in the Alienage - for me it is a tad too much - I will pass on this.

They are pixels you know? Not real people, that's why people play games, so they can do things they can't in real life...

That's why some people play games. Other people play games to be immersed in a world and take an active role in the story's progression. For people like that, it isn't fun to kill characters you've come to feel close to, even if they are just pixels, or to kill non-aggressive characters just because they are there.
Because DA is the kind of game created to attract that kind of player, it isn't surprising how many of us are rejecting this hack and slash mindless killing DLC. And it's no wonder that DA players who were more interested in the combat than the story are embracing this DLC.

We are pleased to announce the next Dragon Age: Origins downloadable content pack - The Darkspawn Chronicles.

You now fight as the Darkspawn! The city of Denerim, jewel of Ferelden, girds itself for war. As a hurlock vanguard, you alone hold the power to make thralls of your fellow darkspawn and drive them into the heat of battle. Heed the archdemon's call--Denerim must burn!

You can read more about the Darkspawn Chronicles and see screenshots here: http://dragonage.bioware.com/addon/. There will be a video added to the page tomorrow after it goes live on Gamespot later today. Make sure you check out Gamespot around 5pm PST today for your first look.

Bioware I ask you in all seriousness.... Have you guys lost your minds?

I have no doubt that Bioware did their marketting research to determine if DC was a viable (ie profitable) undertaking before developing it.  In all FRPG's, there is a dark side element to all characters that undoubtedly some players would want to explore.  I'm curious about it myself  . . . but given all the bug reports, will wait until someone else installs it first to see what, if any, new bugs are introduced. 

Dragon Age is not perfect - I acknowledge that - but it functions well enough that my gaming experience is VERY enjoyable.  I'm getting a lot of hours of play-time for my investment of $100.  8 playthroughs of 70+ hours each - I can't complain much. 

[lilith345]

I'm just not that interested in this DLC however would be interested (even consider paying a reasonable charge) in a console (x-box 360) version of DA journeys.

No DA isn't perfect...but the bugs that exist are not game-breaking for me.   I have a hunch that most of the bug complaints come from the Sony and or Microsoft end of things.     Perhaps something that is out of Bioware's hands?     I keep hearing things about firmware patches from those two companies that bug out the game.  

Well...then it stands to reason the fix needs to come from the company that produced the patch.......and that might not necessarily be Bioware's domain in that case.

But it seems to me...that alot of times, people don't stop to think about these things and immediately blame the game devellopper for all problems, no matter where they originate.

Again..I am NOT saying this game doesn't have bugs.     It could also be the result of incompatibility between whatever is on your machine..and your latest, fave mod you downloaded to the game.

There are alot of factors to consider......but from what I see, most people don't fathom any of that.

To danny, edgar etc:

What you guys fail to realize is that Bioware is either:

a) not even reading your posts

or

reading them from a very different vantage point, thus they are interpreting it differently from how you imagine.

In your mind, you think you're posting as die hard fan who is disappointed and wants to see something to restore your confidence in them. But from Bioware's perspective, you're nerd-raging, going off topic, and on the verge of spamming.

This thread will be unceremoniously deleted when the next big announcement comes (just like a previous thread was), and all the energy you put in would have been for naught.

Forums are just not the right medium for meaningful comunication to effect change. I learned that lesson four months ago when I erroneously put too much emotional investment into an issue that Bioware "had no interest in."

Here I have to agree with you...if you want to effect change...write a letter directly to someone with some power to wield.    Keep writing letters,  maintain politeness...you get more flies with honey than vinegar.     Just stand your ground and state what the problem is..how long its been going on..and that you would like to see changes.

If you don't get a response ...send it again.    Or phone them.     Thats what I would do and have done in the past.

Ranting and whatnot on a forum, just gets you ignored....been there done that too over the Ultimate Sacrifice issue.    No response...NONE.

The problem here is a combination of Bioware/EA not caring about the unhappy fans (bad job of patching and DLC and expansions being buggy) and the fanboys who do nothing to help. Fanboys keep getting the DLC which sends a message to EA saying "we don't care about the bugs, we'll keep buying things and supporting your shoddy practices and to hell with the unhappy fans who can't hardly play the game".

Help everyone by not accepting anymore material for the game until it and the expansion, and DLC are fixed.

If you keep accepting things, you clearly don't care about the fans, no matter what you say. Your actions will prove you are lying if you say you care about the situation.

So...I should refrain from buying a dlc ...to help you and your buddies out?    Even if I have no problems..and LIKE the game? 

Hmmmm..okay I'll do that, how much will you pay me NOT to buy dlcs and expansions...I want to be reimbursed for my troubles....mmmmkay? 

It's your choice whether or not to buy this dlc in the end. The point he was trying to make is that not buying it is really the only message that might actually get noticed by them and maybe get them to support this game. If enough people refused to buy anymore stuff from them until they actually fixed the game then maybe they would actually do it.
It's obvious that fixing the game is nowhere near the top of the list on their priorities, and not supporting them until they do something to fix the game is really the only course of action that stands a chance of working.   (a very small chance, but still...) As it is right now they have no reason to spend any money on fixes because they can do nothing and people continue to buy everything. In the end though, it's your choice whether or not to buy this dlc.

Thank you ..but his reasoning is still off the mark.   I honestly DO NOT have any major problems playing this game.   I am a long time gamer...been playing for many years, been a closed beta tester a few times.....and yes I DO come across bugs.   Most times ..all you do is save and load back in..and its gone.    Or restart the game.

I do however, know that there have been many problems for a long time..since about February this year, with the console owners' game...as from what I understand it was never fixed properly.    

I think that in part has to do with Microsoft and Sony.    Everything that has to be changed or done for consoles, has to run through MS and Sony's certification process.      If it is a patch that came from Sony or Microsoft directly...then its not in Bioware's domain to fix it...the finger points back at Microsoft and Sony.

If those two companies are slow on the uptake about fixing what they broke.....it does absolutely no good to yell at Bioware about it.   

Their hands are tied in this case.

The main Awakenings bug that everyone talks about constantly....The silverite mines bug.     I have done EIGHT complete runs through Awakening..and I STILL have not encountered it.     I am thinking this might be a console problem.    Or it might have to do with mods conflicting with each other ..within the game....it might be several things.

What it takes is for each user to sit down and think about what could possibly be affecting their game, and I know thats..not going to happen.   

Again I will suggest writing letters ..to Bioware, EA,   Sony and Microsoft ....because they are all involved and all have something to do with the whole picture.     Some things more than likely cannot be fixed by Bioware alone..it has to come from MS and Sony...as well.

If I want play a massacre I would buy such a game - there a lot out to buy - right? I cna buy a lot of Ego-Shooters if I want to see blood, violence and massacre all and everything.
I'm a REAL Roleplayer - playing MMORPGS - and DA:O was the first PC Game of this Genre I ever bought. And I was surprised and addicted to DA.O about the depth, the romance option, the fine lore behind every Char. I just have no desire to kill the *pixels*
Sure they are pixels - but this is the only point you got.

***so they can do things they can't in real life... ?????***

So you dream of a slaughterhouse full of friends, childs, peoples and what not  killed from  you? I mean this is the stupidly comment I have seen on this thread - exactly what our world need. People who buying a game cause they can't  kill others in real world 

[DeathViper1959]

they can lock the thread or delete it, that is there right to do so.



but to ignor there loyal fans of many years dose not harm the fans, they will just move on to other games, and and forget about EA\\Bioware chalking this up as a very bad experience.



in the end it is EA\\Bioware that loses as gamers look at other developers and titles, Diablo III is comming, i have many D2 accounts already that i keep an eye on while i play other games.



there are many mods for BG and BG2 that i have not tried, i have not finished NWN or NWN2, so i have plenty of game time to imerse myself in elsewhere rather than in my 100.00 bad investment.



as for the multiple colaberations on Dragon age, the only company logo's i have seen are that of EA and Bioware, if there are going to take the credits in the opening video's, then they must also be willing to take the responcibilty for the bugs and unplayabilty of that for which they take the opening credits for.



the case's that DAO and DAA come in, only show the logo's of Bioware and EA, again they have taken credit for the entire game/games and as such should be the ones to get a fix wether they do it themselves or talk to other colaboraters if the bugs came from their end of things, at any rate, EA and Bioware took credit for themselves, and they should be the ones who are responcible to see that the bugs get fixxed.

To write letters to BW/EA/Sony/MS won't resolve anything because those agreements are confidential and the customer is off limits. Supposing things is complete out of context... what if?... do not denies the fact that the game in consoles is defective and it must be patched. 

Also under the xbox industry, a delay of 6 months for a patch is too long when usually takes 1 to 3 months. On the other hand, the other xbox games companies (bethesda, sega, etc) do the same agreements with MS/Sony, why their products are patched on time?... and besides BW/EA is the seller and the responsible of the product before the client and they are under the obligation to make their business partners (MS/Sony) to find a solution, not the client... We are BW/EA clients, and they must do the necessary for the product that they sell.

Sorry but to try to justify the lack of a patch with suppositions it is only a smoke screen... as for the ".since about February this year, with the console owners' game" remark, this thread  has been around 6 months ago, that is about December Last year...

After 6 months, the only solution is to patch the product that BW/EA sold to me.

I know that patching the bugs and making a patch for their latest dlc are kind of different, but how hard would it be to include some smaller fixes with the patch? I mean fixes that don't break the game or require extensive testing because they are just correcting something that is not working properly, like dex, or a missing quest reward.

As for writing, phoning, or emailing them, they will tell you that they can't give you any specific answers for your questions and send you here.

The sad thing is that if they had actually fixed the game I would've grabbed this dlc just to kill Alistair, who reminds me too much of a character in another Bioware game. (Anyone else reminded of Carth Onasi from KOTOR 1?) But sadly support goes both ways, and they've really showed none, so I will show them the same.

Funny how a few days before dlc time we see devs on the forums again, and once again get the same line about fixes being "worked on, but no ETA". Six months of that is just too much....

Well yes...but to answer both you and the poster above you..there are many more circumstances than just "Bioware is at fault".    Machine configurations,  other platform developpers...etc all come into it.

It "may" be more complicated than you think..to "just produce a patch".    We have had 3 patches thus far..since November 3rd 2009.     As the game goes on ..more dlc appeared, the expansion appeared...so that complicates things even more.

And then I am thinking too...that EA..has something to do with this.    They hand out the money...allotted money for allotted projects. 

What if its EA themselves refusing to spend the money on the fixes?    From what I know of EA,  I detest their customer service with a passion.....the times I tried talking to them,  I got people from a third world country answering me with scripted answers that had nothing whatsoever to do with the question I asked.

So perhaps EA is the stumbling block here? 

I am just offering up other things.."suppositions" "possibilities".....in an attempt to have a reasonable look at this situation.

It can't be ALL Bioware's fault...matter of fact I really doubt that it is.

Um...DA is advertised with blood, gore and violence.   hehe   I'm a roleplayer too....and ...I've played MMORPGs for years ..YEARS.   Any roleplaying going on there is practically nil.     Dedicated servers for rp usually get invaded by griefers..for the express purpose of ruining the game for everyone there.

Roleplaying was what I did back in 1995...on a roleplaying board in a 2D game, where the only tools we had were our imaginations, as the game world ..didn't have much to add to what we were doing.    We wrote our stories on the roleplaying board, and would print off new additions..to keep track of the story branches, and there were many of those..I had a large binder FULL ..

I had to keep track as I was the moderator there.    What a headache that was ..lol  but I had fun with it too.

BW is part of EA, that BW of NWN; KOTOR, NWN2. BG  series is not longer. We have accepted the fact that BW might die (sadly) because EA buys these games houses and squeezes them to let them to die...  and I think there are many people of the original BW who are regretting this deal. All this looks like EA style, but sadly, BW is EA...

Oh that Onasi, but I think Alistair is worse, specially on the Landsmeet,,, grrr, worse than a spoiled toddler... I would've grabbed this only for the special item... but I'm not sure if it can be imported to Awakenings...

Well supposedly all the fixes from the prior two patches..were included in the 1.03 one...so you didn't need to download the other two if you got the 1.03 patch.     January or February is when I remember about the corrupted saves...caused by someone releasing the unfinished patch before it should have been released.    That patch corrupted saves on consoles, and caused a huge firestorm on this forum..for weeks.

I have no clue what process they are going through at the moment, but it almost seems to me like they are being prevented from proceeding ..by "something".     The only thing I can think is..perhaps EA is stating..nope enough already...been patched..not patching again..or something like that.

Otherwise I don't know what to think.   

DA IS an enjoyable game.    I can vouch for that...being a PC owner.   Again the bugs I have encountered..in no way ruin my game...probably because of the platform I use.  

There was some sort of "memory leak" to do with AMD machines..which caused slow downs for loading times..that would get longer as time went on.   Patch 1.03 fixed that for me..not entirely but I can live with whats there.      I just log out and restart..or boot my machine ...when I notice things are laggy.  

I don't know how that works with a console..or if that would even be a solution.   Probably not.

As for your comment about EA ..yes I kind of am thinking that too.   Things have changed about Bioware...they are a good company, but now they have a boss they have to listen to.

If you read what they say in the description of the item..it says ..you can use the item in Origins, and Awakening.

How that happens is..if you create a new character, that special item shows up in your inventory..just like the pre-order,  and collector's edition items did.

It requires creating a new character, however.

I'm a REAL Roleplayer - playing MMORPGS - and DA:O was the first PC Game of this Genre I ever bought. And I was surprised and addicted to DA.O about the depth, the romance option, the fine lore behind every Char. I just have no desire to kill the *pixels*
Sure they are pixels - but this is the only point you got.

***so they can do things they can't in real life... ?????***

So you dream of a slaughterhouse full of friends, childs, peoples and what not  killed from  you? I mean this is the stupidly comment I have seen on this thread - exactly what our world need. People who buying a game cause they can't  kill others in real world 

 
Um...DA is advertised with blood, gore and violence.   hehe   I'm a roleplayer too....and ...I've played MMORPGs for years ..YEARS.   Any roleplaying going on there is practically nil.     Dedicated servers for rp usually get invaded by griefers..for the express purpose of ruining the game for everyone there.

Roleplaying was what I did back in 1995...on a roleplaying board in a 2D game, where the only tools we had were our imaginations, as the game world ..didn't have much to add to what we were doing.    We wrote our stories on the roleplaying board, and would print off new additions..to keep track of the story branches, and there were many of those..I had a large binder FULL ..

I had to keep track as I was the moderator there.    What a headache that was ..lol  but I had fun with it too.

:wizard: and it was magical ! And you are right about blood, gore and violence. But I feel no need to play the other side *lol* my decision.

@ Lady



And thats your choice. Me..I have always wanted to "see the other side"....always been curious about what it would be like to play a darkspawn or a qunari. We got to play an Orlesian in Awakening, but...really that should have been expanded upon.



I want to go to Orlais damn it!

And then I am thinking too...that EA..has something to do with this.    They hand out the money...allotted money for allotted projects. 

What if its EA themselves refusing to spend the money on the fixes?    From what I know of EA,  I detest their customer service with a passion.....the times I tried talking to them,  I got people from a third world country answering me with scripted answers that had nothing whatsoever to do with the question I asked.

So perhaps EA is the stumbling block here? 

I am just offering up other things.."suppositions" "possibilities".....in an attempt to have a reasonable look at this situation.

It can't be ALL Bioware's fault...matter of fact I really doubt that it is.

I have to agree with you about EA, and I'm guessing that they are a huge part of the problem. EA has a bad track record as far as support goes because they choose to hide behind the EULA instead of providing decent support for their games. Once a game is out the door the only thing that EA cares about is rushing the next one out, and then the next one etc. Seeing as how EA controls the money, I honestly doubt that there is much in the way of money and resourses being used to fix this game, all efforts most likely are going into ME3, DA2, ToR and of course, making more dlc.
I worry about the future of Bioware because EA has a history of simply using up these companies they buy until they are useless and tossing them aside, I would hate to see that happen to Bioware, but I fear it's already begun....
