What do you want them to say other than "the patch is still in beta testing" or "we're waiting for the 25 beta testers to confirm the patch is good"?

macrocarl- Your character is giving me nightmares. She's like Mimi's axe weilding, dragon slaying alter-ego. Frightening! LOL

Mimi from the Drew Carey show to clarify if confused.

Here's Victor's latest update:

Update: In the latest patch, the fix that was supposed to auto-save the game upon resolution did not pass through QA. So, programming is at work on a new version to send to QA today. I am not yet sure if there will be a release today, but we should know soon.

What's the hurry? We've got nothing else to do DA-wise for 6 months before DA2 comes out.

Hopes are there'll be a patch 1.05 (optimally picking up on Qwinn's fixpack, etc.) sou you may wanna do one or two runs through DAO/DAA with references and the likes properly working.
Yeah, I know... I said "hopes", not "chances", for a reason. :?

About #2: my warden never walked with Morrigan into the mirror, so that reason is false, and this: 

About 3: I spared Avernus, so I have a possible cure, or a least a possible way of delaying it, so HAH! 

P.S. I barely understood what you said at the end. Stop being rubbish 2.0

See this thread:  http://social.biowar...30386/1#4808506

And particularly, this post:

Still working on this - the issue (and fixes) are not as straight forward as they appear, so apologies for the delay.



We believe we have now solved the remaining issues and the latest patch is being created now for all platforms to go into testing tonight and tomorrow.



If successful, we may be able to launch the PC patch either tomorrow afternoon or friday morning (Mountain time). Console patches will go into certification at that time as well.



I'll do an update tomorrow to confirm a release date/time.



Thank you again for your patience.

YAY! The Warden might be back for DA3! *dances around*

Thank you, Gehn, for posting that! ...At least, I think it was Gehn? ^_^

So many posts since I've been gone and some new faces, I see. Glad to see yet more Warden fans. Join A.D.A.M! lol :lol:

People people. Our Warden will be back. At the very least David Gaider is thinking about writing him back in. And at the most he has already decided that he will, in fact, be bringing our Warden back again. I just tried to find the link (it's on these forums somewhere) but in the Live Video Q&A he did at Pax, between 3-4 mins in he does a cheeky - complete with knowing smile - allude, along the lines of, "Maybe the Warden will be back. Who knows. Maybe."


I saw that PAX Q&A as well. What I got from that is "I don't want to alienate the Warden fanboys so I will evade the question". Makes no sense to bring him back, at all.

@ Lethvienne: Hehe, yeah keep hope alive!



@ Valus: Makes no sense? I can think of a ton of reasons to bring the Warden back. In fact, I think that logically, bringing Morrigan back (which will happen) without bringing the Warden back would make very little sense. David doesn't strike me as the type to bow down to a demographic just so they feel loved either. To me at least, he appears to have no problems with tough love. Have you ever seen him dress down someone on these forums? It's a sight to behold.



There has been plenty of opportunity to write the Warden out of the DA saga by now. But instead, in Origins' final DLC, we are presented with multiple endings, 1 of which at least, essentially connects the Warden to Morrigan inextricably. Many people chose to have a child with Morrigan. A child who is undoubtedly going to become a large part of the DA story in the future. I think it possible, but unlikey that said child's Father will be renegated to a codex entry. Especially when people who have played these games have invested so much time into that character. I could prattle on for ages about it really.



I'm not even saying the Warden will deffinitely be back. Who knows what will happen come DA3. In my opinion though, I think there is a good chance of it. And I hope he/she does.

Eh, they will probably bring Morrigan back unless there is some outside, real world influence that makes it difficult or too troublesome to continue (Claudia Black opts out, ect.). However it does not make any sense at all to bring the Warden back based upon that. Why? Because the Warden and Morrigan hated each other. He kicked her out of his group the moment that got to lothering and threatened to kill her the moment she stepped foot in his room at Redcliffe, he refused the dark ritual and died a pure awesome death at the end of Origins....

Now...how ridiculous do I sound right now applying logic of what they will or will not do in sequals based upon my personal choices in the game? About as ridiculous as you sound talking about the dark ritual and some child that may or may not have happened for players and thinking it's a swell idea to alienate a huge demographic of players who either a: killed off the warden at the end of Origins or b: never played Origins and want to pick it up with the new sequal. Logically it makes no sense whatsoever to make mention of Warden ever again...the cause and effect of whatever choices you decide to import into the sequal is another story, but introducing the Warden again? no.

You are right in this, Gaider seems to have no issues putting people in thier place when they get all raged or fanboyish on the forums. Here is what he had to say to someone who was stating the Dark Ritual could be canon regardless of what the player chose in Origins...

Gaider quote: May I put this to rest?

If the player didn't do the Dark Ritual,
or didn't get Alistair or Loghain to do it, then it wasn't done. Had
Morrigan figured out some way to otherwise do it, then nobody would
have died when the Archdemon was slain.
If she had some way to go about getting the Archdemon's soul without
resorting to the Dark Ritual as she proposed it, then why did she go
through all the trouble?

We could
undoubtedly come up with some complex Plan B on Morrigan's part whereby
she gets the Archdemon's soul but has to do something far more
terrible-- but a) that removes the player's agency in the biggest
single choice of Origins and B) would probably be pretty lame.

/end Gaider quote

The moment Bioware decides to ret-con all/any of our choices in favor of a new canonized plotline every sequal  regardless of what we chose is the moment they lose that one thing that makes their franchises unique. If noone has noticed yet this imported pick-a-path adventure structure is effectively their trademark (not to mention the only thing keeping them going since they seem incapable of shipping a game that isn't bugged all to hell), they have been storytelling in this style since BG. To think they will deviate from it now because a portion of their playerbase wants something special is illogical.

This DLC was such a letdown given the strength of LOTSB. Is it really the case that this game studio is only capable of producing a single quality work at a time?



I love Bioware, don't get me wrong, but when compared to Golems, this DLC is nothing short of horrible. I can understand some being pleased with it. Certainly if you hold storyline above all else then this may have been a decent effort in your opinion.



Would it have been that difficult to have included a single challenging encounter though?



My first play through I imported a warrior who was previously dressed in cailan's armor and wielding starfang. He arrived naked and unarmed. I made a few substitutions from my bag, equipping the templar commandar armor and a couple of low quality tier sever weapons. At level 23 with not boots, gloves or hat, and on hard, My character never went below 60% hp.



I never healed companions once, I never paused to cast as spell using the mage. This dlc is more like a television show than an interactive gaming experience.

Your opinion seems less based on logic than it does the fact you don't want to see the Warden again.  I mean, sure I don't expect the Warden to ever be the PC again, or that he will become a companion-like recurrence, but that's not to say that the Warden can't be mentioned or seen again.  For example, a future plot that involves Morrigan may have her appear.  Well should your Warden have chosen to disappear with her then the Warden may be standing next to her during this particular scene.  Silently, perhaps... but there.  Other decisions made by the Warden may have them appear for a few cameos elsewhere.  For those who kept their Wardens from Origins through Awakening and on to Witch Hunt (which I would bet my pantaloons far outweigh those who did not, though perhaps not those who are first-time sequel players) it wouldn't be that outrageous to give a few nods.

It's not like having appearances based on choices has never happened before.  I can choose to kill Zevran during our first encounter, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a full dialogue, plot, and romance as a companion to delve quite deeply into.  For a game based on seeing the effects of your choices there is no reason other than disinterest on the devs' part that we could not see the Warden again.  I played my Warden through Awakening even though your Warden died in Origins.  Choices are great.

EDIT: As a side note, I'll be picking this DLC up once the patch is confirmed and released.  Why does it seem like this happens a lot?  Granted, had the DLC not been released yet I'd be none the wiser seeing as I haven't bought it yet but... still...

I can't see the Warden again. He is dead. Now unless you are saying Bioware is going to ret-con a huge choice in Dragonage and make one specific course of events canon then I am saying that, while I don't mind seeing the Warden again, it is impossible since he's dead....seems pretty logical to me. The only thing illogical is to assume that any one person's choices in the game that you think should be canon supercede another person's choices. That defeats the entire theory of these types of games.

I am not saying that this is what you are proposing. Merely that you interjected in a response I was making to someone who WAS saying this.

Well you are in luck because it sounds like that is exactly what they are doing (well the mentioned part at least...not so sure you will ever physically see him/her again). I am pleased with this as well.
