If a game like that is "almost perfect" , how would you define a game that has only five or six minor issues? "godly"?

If it offered me the depth of choices, and story that Dragon Age offer? Yes, pretty much godly. If itwas aa Call of Duty it could be bugless and it would still get a meh.

• (Awakening only) Players may now receive notes of appreciation from former love interests.
• (Awakening Only) The masterpiece slow rune is now available for purchase
from merchant stores.

My first question: Are these just the same letters that others have found earlier? Or did you guys polish them up a bit, and/or created additional letters from Morrigan and Alistair?

My second question: Is not being able to purchase the masterpiece slow rune really a bug? I only ask this because I don't recall any masterpiece rune available for purchasing in the game.

I have had a couple crashes, but not sure if they are "game-related", either way they are few and far between. 0 freezes, 0 game-breaking bugs, 0 story-line bugs, and I've played through origins about 8 times I'd say.

The reality is, when you play a game for 8 hours straight, sometimes, no matter what game it is, it crashes. That's just how it is. Your machine is tired. I don't think I can blame the game for these, because, well all my games do them.

This doesn't hold water when players with machines with higher than needed specs crash more often than lower spec machines do.

My opinion which is 'based in reality': The game Dragon Age: Origins that I own and have in my possession that I play daily is "almost perfect". Defined by 0 game-related crashes, 0 freezes, 0 'game-breaking bugs' such as stealing, and after about 15 playthroughs I've had exactly 0 story-line bugs (as in all of my stories have played at the end like they were suppose to). A few graphical glitches here or there and that's about it.
Disclaimer: The above post is for clarification purposes ONLY. Any offense taken to the above information by any user is by their own willingness to be offended by everything that is not to their liking and is in no way the intent or fault of the poster.

The dragon age you own and is in your possession is nowhere "almost perfect" simply because even if you don't experience any crashes (lucky you), there are tons of bugs that are documented (and because of that they are even in the patch notes aknowledged by Bioware themselves) and are part of ANY copy of the game.
This means that either you didn't NOTICE the bugs (and that's your problem), or something sounds very wrong with your post, even if i was inclined to believe that someone managed 15 playthroughs of a game in 8 months (which I'm not).

This of course, not to mention the fact that even if you don't notice the bugs and don't experience the crashes, the game wouldn't be "almost perfect" anyway.
Perfection is objective, not subjective. A game that crashes every few minutes for a sizable part of the playerbase, suffers from (documented and proven) memory leaks and so forth definitely can't be defined with an absolute definition like "almost perfect".
It doesn't matter if you experience the problem or not, many do, so the game has nothing to do with perfection.

You obviously didn't read my disclaimer. You aren't here, you aren't playing the same game as me. The fact that you took offense to it and don't believe what I have to say is your problem and yours alone. Not mine. When you get off your high horse and come back into reality where everything is not uniform like you seem to believe, then we'll talk. Until then, keep your attacks to yourself.

"took offense"? I didn't "take offense". I just pointed out that a game to be "almost perfect" must be performing in an "almost perfect" way for everyone not just for the lucky ones.
if a sizable part of the playerbase can't play the game, or are prevented to enjoy it, you can't define it with a word that has an absolute meaning as perfection.

[night0205]

I admit that my game has crashed... well I think it pretty much crashed for the first time after the 1.03 patch. So yeah, I'm hoping they fix whatever they screwed up, but like I said, it hardly ever happens. My computer is pretty powerful, and only a year old, if that. There are some issues, but my computer, for the most part, runs the game very well even with the 1.03 patch. I do feel bad for all of you who are having more trouble with the game.

[night0205]

Seriously if you guys don't stop arguing, you're going to get in trouble...

[Stanley Woo]

Abriael_CG, qwerty1234567, seriously, last warning. If you won't voluntarily stop sniping at each other and agree to disagree and/or take it to private, i will take stronger measures.

I trust it's the first option..
The letters are the ones from Leliana and Zevran found by people that for some reason didn't trigger... I think they are fixing the game, not adding more contents.. therefore you wouldn't find other letters, unless they are already existent and people didn't find them (quite difficult...)
At least this is what I think....

It would not make sense to have a letter from Morrigan because she off doing her own thing, not wishing to ever meet you again. UNTIL DRAGON AGE 2 THAT IS HA HA HA HAHAHA!!!!

Anyways, I think the reason why Alistair doesn't send you a letter, is because he makes an appearance if he is King. I don't know if it's possible for him not to be King and still be on good terms with you... I think it probably is, but I think it's just something the writers decided not to do.

[Memmaatre]

Btw how about moderators/BW starts ONE LOCKED thread were only you are updating us upon this long awaited patch? But perhaps no important updates are to be found within the threads ... only you trying to make the kids behave ... :police:

[MaxQuartiroli]

Yes you can... You can have Alistair as your companion and not king... But until now for the problem of the reset flag in importing carachter Alistair always compared as king in Awakening.. It's one of the problems they are fixing with this patch...

What I don't know is if you can have Alistair not king and in romance.. and honestly even if you have this chance I wanna know someone who was in romance with Alistair, and continued the romance till the end giving the crown to Anora without put him on the throne and marrying him.. lol

Therefore I trust they thought 99.9% of players were in one of these 3 situations

- In romance with Alistair king -> Alistar cameo
- Not in romance with Alistair king -> Alistair cameo
- Not in romance with Alistair not king -> no needs for Alistair news in Awakening

here is the reason why you won't find Alistair's letters

Another bug that no one else has mentioned it for Awakening here, is when you apply a legion of the dead heraldry to your sword and shield fighter and you magically receive a +20 to all your stats... Tell me if this is not a gamebreaking bug to an already easy game... Tell me if this is not another proof of a rushed, unpolished and bugged to death product which we all paid good money for it, tell me all you biowarian disciples what isn't. Personally I didn't have techical difficulties with playing the game on my PC, but most of these quest, dialogue and game mechanics related bugs remind me of amateur broken homemade mods and not products of a respected company like Bioware. Anyway, my opinion about Bioware has changed from all these issues (and I don't mean only the bugs).

This is not quite true. The only ones who can stay in romance with Alistair as king and become queen are female nobles.
No other female char is able to marry him.

Every other female witch has a romance with him has to make Anora queen if she wants to keep him.
And there are LOTS of female elves and mages who took him as first love interest.
When this option is taken Alistair and the PC go off in the epilogue to rebuild the Grey Wardens.

Because of this the SHOULD be a letter from him (it makes no sence, that he doesn´t join awakening otherwise)  but I doubt they have implented one.

Uhm, you mean 4 situations...

- In romance with Alistair king -> Alistar cameo
- Not in romance with Alistair king -> Alistair cameo
- Not in romance with Alistair not king -> no needs for Alistair news in Awakening

- In romance with Alistair not king -> RECEIVE LETTER!!!

I don't care much for Alistair since I play male.

[MaxQuartiroli]

@Querne

Oh yes !!! You are right.. I just forgot that only HFN could become queen.. my mistake
Are you really saying that all non HFN in romance with Alistair might be screwed in Awakening?
I hope at this point there will be a letter form Alistair hidden somewhere in the game that would trigger with the patch.. like Lel and Zev's ones...

@Relinquished2... Until now people found in the files of Awakening only a letter from Zevran and one from Leliana.. If you take a look into the main forum you'll find also a big thread about those 2 letters.. But there wasn't any news about letters from Alistair or Morrigan.. unless they are hidden elsewhere or they just foresee something different for them

Anyway.. We'll know this when patch 1.04 will be released

Why dont you guys just post the updates weekly then lock the thread? Nothing productive comes after that first post.

No offense guys, but we are not involved with the patch on a development level, and there are other threads that BUGS have been posted.

Hear, Hear!!!!

I have very little time to play games, let alone read through a forum, with a wife, kid and full time job.  Please, Bioware, spare us the endless drivel that comes out of these update posts from people whining.  Post an update, lock the thread and let the whiners go to an opinion thread, somewhere.

I am amazed some of these people playing have time for life with all the posting they do here complaining. It's a GAME!!!

[Elessara]

Yes I hope there is some sort of letter or communication added for Alistair if your char was in a romance with him and he is NOT made king. In my current HFN game I'm planning on making Anora queen, doing the dark ritual and running off with Alistair to rebuild the Grey Wardens. I really hope there will be some explanation as to why he is not with my character in Awakenings ... you know, rebuilding the Grey Wardens.

Easy way to get only dev posts and skip the rest is to click on the BioWare logo under the thread. Win/win, as people that want to post in the thread still can, and people that only want to see what the devs have to say and skip the rest can as well. No need to scroll through post after post looking for the dev input.
