So, when the Xbox patch (1.04) first came out, I heard about it causing problems and getting pulled.  Is it in effect now and correcting the gameplay problems adequately?  I can't find much "yea" or "nay" on the subject.

Nay. It might have corrected the stealing success problem (so I read somewhere). I see no other immediate value. Maybe a dev (hah) will tell us where to find a list of items patched?

It is listed somewhere on these here forums.  As for the 1.04 causing the problems it DID cause to those with the newer 360s, that was dealt with.

I know exatally what you mean Alistair cheated on my feamale P.c. jb the background after I read at your forume that he would not do that he did and now my P.C. wants nothing more than to kill him in fact she she did strike him down with her two long sowards an d he did go down and suffered an ingery inwitch I had to give him an ingery kit This was rouge Bethany and I compleated the game withh her and the game he sacrviced himself and my P.C. let him without a fight now I bring her back to do an alternate ending for her and this happends so I played a warrior and it weny great. Alistire really loved her and no her name wasnot Bethany her n ame was Storm and I'm playing Awakening with her and the seane with him was very touching.

Wicked!  You should know this.  Did 1.04 adequately address its target bugs?

[Wicked 702]

Honestly, I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. Patch comes out, patch gets pulled, and then the all too predictable silence. I've really got no clue whether they ever released it again. At some point I think I blew a rage fuse.

I've got a few different characters in various states of the game that never got loaded here since I played offline for so long. When I get home much later tonight, I'll try to run a few tests on things like Stealing, Dex, etc. and see if I can find a pattern. Maybe that'll tell us if this patch ever came through.

Edit: Linking for my own benefit later. You know, I was thinking. One simple test to see if this patch works would be to intentionally clothe a character in armor that doesn't transfer into Awakening (Warden Commander Set right? Or is it Blood Dragon Armor? Oh well, I'll figure that out later.) and then see if they start the game naked. If they don't, that's a fairly clear indication that 1.04 is there. Whether it's doing the other stuff remains to be tested...

First test is a success. I imported a character into Awakening for the first time ever, while wearing the Warden Commander Set, and ended up starting in robes instead of being naked. I would definitely say that patch 1.04 exists and is the most current version available, but it remains to be seen which actual bug fixes were implemented. More to follow.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I got the love letter from Leliana too.

Another link for my reference.

After a very careful test of Dexterity, a one point increase in Dex most definitely increased my dagger damage by 0.5 as it should.



I reloaded and ran a separate test on longbows. In regards to longbows the increase went from 27.2 to 27.5, an increase of 0.3. I suppose that could have also been an increase of 0.25, rounded up, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know what the increase is SUPPOSED to be?

[Wicked 702]

I can also confirm that Stealing works. I managed to steal a spirit balm from one of Levi's nephews in Soldier's Peak using Leliana.

Edit: Can also confirm that the mage's blood talents from Warden's Keep (at least Dark Sustenance anyway) work just fine in Awakening. Looking good so far. I'll see if there's any other mechanics I can test. Won't be able to test the quest triggers in Awakening as I don't plan to play that for a while.

Second Edit: Ok well, I tested all the game mechanics I immediately have access to and they all work as described, which looks good. I don't think there's anything else I can report for now. I think patch 1.04 is working, so far, as described. By the way, see the links I posted for myself if you want the fix lists. Hope that helps ya'll!

Thanks a bunch, Wicked. I'm surprised Bioware wasn't a little louder about declaring victory with the patch, considering how bumpy the ride had been with the Xbox port.

Really sucks about the Blackblade Armor set. How hard could it be to add a set of gloves and boots?

I think the reason that they were quiet is because depite the patch there are still lots of bugs, so it was a small victory with many people still pissed off about the bugs that didn't get fixed.  It really is too bad the sentinel set and vigilence sword are still bugged...I really don't want to uninstall wardens keep just for the right textures to show up. Had to change my character to get the armor to show up but can't seem to do anything about the sword, that really bugs me....and sadly I really doubt we'll see anything else for this game. Took almost 10 months for a real patch and DA2 is right around the corner, so I doubt the other bugs will be fixed.

[Tantum Dic Verbo]

I know that the PC is the better platform by any reasonable standards, but the physical arrangements in my house (and my lower back) favor console gaming. I agree that we've probably seen the last effort at fixing the 360 version of the game. If it's playable and without any crushing gameplay bugs (thinks like the dagger/dexterity thing drive me out of my tree), I'll probably pick it up for the 360, problems notwithstanding.



I appreciate the input. Most of the conversation had died off.

[Wicked 702]

I'm also not optimistic about further patches for the console versions. I really want Bioware to suck it up and release a BIG patch as free DLC. It's doable, but it'll cost them more money. I'd like to see the effort made in the wake of what I personally consider bad quality on their part. But meh, I'm feeling meh about them these days.

I can confirm (at least for me) that Oghrens side quest is triggering, and that i got a love letter from Leliana, which i've never gotten before. (Tho i cant get the others to trigger, but i guess thats my fault from loading a previous save, before the 1.04). So the patch is out, and it has been for months now, it's just sad that they dont plan other fixes for the games, since Awakening is probably the most bugged of them all.



I hope im wrong, and when the complete edition comes out they will add a free DLC patch that fixes all of the major concerns, problems and exploits that all of the games, including the DLC's have. That would be awesome... *sigh*, i can only hope.

-I wouldn’t count on it. I expect that when this Complete Edition comes out that it will probably be either one of two things.

1. A nearly patched game. However you will have to buy this edition to get the “fixed” version since its not compatible with the regular versions of Origins and Awakenings. "Yea right, I'm going to spend more money on BioWare..."

2. Nothing will be fixed. Everyone is hard at work on messing up Dragon Age 2, bug and all to be bothered with an outdated game no one plays anymore at least according to BioWare/EA. "Lets hope no one will notice that nothing was fixed to milk more money out of this game before we totally destroy BioWare's reputaion. *add EA exec laugh*"  

Face it we are screwed. Personally I hope Dragon Age 2 bombs when it comes out due to costumers who wont risk buying another bugged game with little tech support.

The "Ultimate Edition" coming out soon ships as is, with patch 1.04. Confirmed by devs in the announcement thread.

Lol! So I was right and they wont bother finishing fixing a broken game.

[13Dannyboy13]

I doubt they even give this game a second thought now. Just look at the final dlc, way too short and left you with more questions than answers, it had the whole rushed feel like awakening did. My guess is that all efforts are on DA2 and ME3, both of which I will definitely rent before deciding to buy, especially DA2, the more I read about the changes, the more I doubt I'll ever want to buy it.

The way I feel about how BioWare (EA) decided to just drop any further downloads for DAO and still not one for Awakenings, along with how buggy these games and downloads were its very unlikely I will even look at Dragon Age 2 even as a rental. As for Mass Effect 3 its still in the air depending on how it looks. If its just like ME2 was then I might get it when its marked down to $20. I also was going to get into The Old Republic but not any more, wont even consider it anymore.

There wasn’t a single download after Soldiers Peak and Return to Ostagar that was worth playing a second time and none of them showed any improvement from one to the next.

The fact that someone from BioWare even said (after Leliana’s Song or Golems) that they have plans for more DA downloadable content and then just end all support (development and tech support) for a game that is only a year old and probably still played by a lot of people says a lot about the new BioWare.

Its unlikely we will ever see a BioWare employee make a coment to anything outside of the DA2 forums now.

I still can't engage in normal attack melée. My character just decides to do a forest gump impression instead! (starts running until you stop him) as a result I haven't play as a melée character yet

[13Dannyboy13]

I still can't get that dam quest to trigger....  I haven't finished the game recently with a mage so I'm not sure about the mage epilogue. It was nice though to actually see Anora instead of Alistair in awakening, even if it was just a cheap cameo that felt very shallow considering my character was married to her. She didn't even stay for a quickie...

[Esbatty]

Velanna's Quest finally triggered on a playthrough a day or so ago. And I finally did Ander's Quest too instead of there being an unclickable door with a guard next to it. I still need to attempt Sigrun and Ohgren's quests but so far this is my best run on awakening yet!



Also the warden I imported had a full set of Cailan's Armor and when I came through I had a grey version of it called Warden armor or something with amazing stats, instead of coming into the game nude like I usually do. So whatever fixes they did I'm pretty damn happy with.
