I've also gotten the Merrill bugs, as well as Nathanial's quest not appearing. Nathanial's doesn't bother me so much, but Merrill's is just bad. First time I ignored it and just went along with the quest, but then "Friend or Foe" (her 100% "Questing Beliefs" convo) didn't trigger and wasn't in the quest log, so I get the feeling the romance is screwed without that. Not much point in going past the end of Act 2 until this is fixed for a Merrill-lover... :(

This isn't a huge glitch but thought I would mention it. The last segment of Act III "Last Straw", during the majority of the time Meridith is void of textures. Her body is just solid shiny white.

I didn't have the problem with Nathaniel's quest, but I did experience the early appearance of Merill's post-quest convo, and now I am experiencing the same problem regarding Merill's "Friend or Foe" quest not triggering. I am sitting here looking at a journal with absolutely no active quests in it (not even a main quest) and no way I can see to progress in the game. Worse, I'm afraid to save, exit and reload because it's been a while since I last saved and I'd hate to save a bugged file.

In Act 2, the "Sketchy on the Details" quest, I was able to do all of the requirements for the quest and receive the reward, but it didn't mark the quest as complete. Instead it marked it as updated, and it stayed in my active quests until the end of the act.

Also, in Act 2, no personal quest ever spawned for Fenris. Once all of the quests but the above quest were finished and only the main quest remained, I finished the main quest, and then in Act 3, it said in the completed quests that "Fenris eventually went to deal with Hadriana himself. He has not spoken of it since."

But now is the most puzzling of all, as I started to explain above:

I am at the end of Act 3. All side quests have been completed (except for Merill's, which never showed up at all, and once again I didn't see any companion quest for Fenris), but when I completed the last side quest, the main quest disappeared from my journal as well. Does this mean I can't finish the game now? Or will it still trigger if I go to the gallows even though it claims there are no quests available in the journal? I'm afraid to try it because I don't want it corrupting my system or my saved content somehow, and I don't want to start a whole new game yet if the same thing will just end up happening.

I also have Isabella stuck in Hawke's estate with a exclamation point above her head.
When I entered the house there was a quest for the dog that activated right when I walked in. I'm assuming Isabela was supposed to start a cut scene right when I walked in but I think the dog quest messed it up. I now have her stuck next to the desk and cannot do the quest that she was supposed to give me. Please fix this Bioware, it seems like the bonus content broke an important part of the game. Very annoyed that I got the Signature edition and actually have less content because of it. Please fix.
This is in Act 3 and I had already spoken to Isabela in the Hanged Man once. Believe I have an active romance with her.


Yep.  Exactly what happened to me.  Their was a dog quest happening as well (burglar).  I guess the game freaked out.  I tried playing through to see if I could get the romance achievement at the end, anyway... but no luck.  Without her unlocking her final quest, I'm out of luck.



Because of this issue with not being able to do Isabella's act 3 mission, I'm considering deleting the Black Emporium for a second play through and then downloading it again after picking up her act 3 Quest. Could we get a rough estimate as to how far away we are looking at for a patch so I know if this is worth it. I just want a general idea. If we are talking about next week I'll just wait.
If it's going to be like a month then I'll delete it and hopefully that will avoid the problem altogether until it gets fixed.
I'm hoping thats what triggers the problem.

Has anyone had this problem who does not have the Black Emplorium?

(on a side note, wow it freaks out the forum post when you paste from Word! LOL had to do it over)

Actually Nathanial's quest not appearing properly is a big issue since it's the only way to get Varric's final armor upgrade! I wonder if it's just because he "survived" Vigil's Keep in the epilogue, but in the actual game I saved Amaranthine...

I also had the issue with "Sketchy on the Details" where Sketch never leaves, and the quest is never marked "complete".

I've also seen a few import issues that may be nothing, mostly in the codex. The only one I care about right now is that Leliana made no mention of romancing the Warden in Act 3, and it wasn't in her codex entry. Again, not sure if that's something or not.

Suppose I should expand more on my flavor of the Merrill bug: like most people, after I do the "A New Home" conversation with her in the Hawke estate (they're in a relationship, she moved in) and go to see her in her Lowtown home the flag that says you completed "A New Path" immediately trips and you see get the conversation with her crying in front of the mirror. After that I was able to do "A Talking To" and give her the Act 3 gift, then completed "A New Path" without any trouble. Now though, "Friend or Foe" (her 100% conversation) won't trigger and it's not in the journal. Worried that that will screw up the later conclusion of the relationship so I'm putting Act 3 on hold for now.

Orsino and Meredith's clothes are pure WHITE pre-final battle and stay that way until the very end.\\

When the credits rolled, there was no music. (I'm pretty sure there is suppose to be an awesome song 'I'm not calling you a Liar' playing)

I also had the Merrill quest sequence-breaking bugs - it seems to be something gone screwball with the relationship flags, since that was my "romance the naive elf girl" playthrough (and by "romance" i mean "shamelessly take advantage of")

In act III, I'm not getting the Supplier achievement to unlock for finding all of the resources. I've "caught 'em all", so to speak, but no achievement for it whatsoever.

I have a problem with the Merrill quest, though it's a bit different. I didn't get the end-quest dialog first, I just didn't get it at all. When we finished at the Dalish Camp nothing happened, and then Merrill wouldn't leave my party until I cleared my cache. Now she's just chilling in her house like nothing happened (the mirror is still there and everything). I haven't romanced her.

Not overly serious, but I noticed that when Aveline and Sebastian have their chat scene in the Chantry before Sebastian's Act 3 quest, she's back in her Prologue clothes. Didn't know if that was intentional or not.

The Rescuing Nathanial Quest isn't appearing, Daliah isn't appearing, even though I saved him in Awakening and he survived the battle. This really suck for me because i passed up on the fools gold quest as you can only do one or the other. Probably not fixable but thought the devs should know. 


When you uploaded your save from Origins did you make sure to select the save from Awakening and not the Origins main game?


I used my Witch hunt save, which I did after origins, awakening, and golems.

earthbornFemShep - I'm having the same problem

I am also having a problem where if there are any dead bodies on the ground (not after a battle, already dead people) they have no color. They're just gray bodies.

The quest "Who needs saving?" does not activate properly. You go to the bandit camp only to have a blond bandit spawn behind you and cannot be interacted with, nor does any cut scene play.


Same exact problem for me.

Wow thanks a lot Rob. I hope you guys start plucking away at it soon. Thanks!

EDIT: The Merrill bug in act 3 seems to be raising a lot of flags. I'm seeing threads for it all over the place.

Yeah, I have the same problem.  I was utterly confused when I spoke to her in the beginning of Act 3.  I had no idea what the dialogue was from.  Now, it makes sense.

I'm not sure but it may kind of lock you out of certain dialoge too. The clan has the ability to basically be wiped out if you don't handle it well enough and they attack you. So if that ended up happening you never really see Merrill's reaction because the post quest wrap up occures early and seems to auto-assume that the clan lived through all of this.

I mean I managed to defuse them without killing them all, but really I'm wondering if there's extra dialogue there if they dont.

Ok, here is a strange one.
I have a male warrior Hawke.
Just did the fight on the coast in Best Served Cold.
Before the fight I had 34% damage resistance.
After the fight and leveling up I have 26% damage resistance.
I went from level 21 to level 22.
So I was curious and took off my armor. I have a passive -8% damage resistance.
What the heck? Now I put the armor of the champion on and still -8% damage resistance.
I have no equipment on that would do this that I know of, and it change from before and after that fight on the Coast(without changing equipment). So not sure if it's because of the fight or my level up.
I have injuries or added effects causing this either because I return to the Hawke estate and it is still -8% damage resistance.
I is the weirdest thing. So I re-loaded the fight and the same thing happened again.
I am also not a Reaver, so that shouldn't be making me vulnerable. I have templar and berserker specializations but no points in berserker.

I just finished the battle on the Coast during the best served cold mission.
I have a Male, Hawke Warrior, leveled up from 21 to 22.
Afterwords I found that my damage resistance under resistances had lowered.
I had not changed equipment, all that happened was that fight, I leveled up, chose shattering blow as my skill. Raised strength and constitution.
So weird, so I take off my armor and I now have a passive -8% damage resistance that I can't get rid off. It makes no sense so I reloaded the fight and it happened again.


EDIT:
Sorry for the repeat.
First one didn't show up initially so I didn't think it worked.
I'm not seeing how you delete the post so I guess I'll just leave it here.

Merrill is all sorts of buggy for me (I flirted some, but ended up romancing Isabela; I broke it off with Merrill when she came to Hawke's Estate). There was no dialogue quest for her at the beginning of Act II. The dialogue quest at the beginning of Act III was the same issue others have had- it was end-quest mourning dialogue. Her "go to the Dalish Camp" companion quest was on my to-do list, but it vanished completely after I found and gave her the second gift, the Elven ring. It's not listed as completed, it's just gone. All the Dalish, including the Keeper, are alive and hanging out, and I have no companion quests left. I've got 100% friendship with Merrill, though, and have since I gave her the Eluvian carving tool in Act II.

Also, I'm experiencing the same "Who Needs Rescuing?" bug that everyone else is- it's in my quest list, but unattainable.

When meeting with Leliana in the quest Faith while having Isabela in the party, the camera goes away from the party and Leliana to some odd graphic which could be a ceiling or some other thing. I don't know, sufficed to say this glitched. Game still played on, but it took a moment before it went back to the regular conversation and camera view.

I will report a big amount of bug and maybe some will be fixed.( I'm on 360 by the way)

1-Like mostly evreyone else Merryl quest is at best really messy. She destroy the miror and cry about the keeper before i even have do the quest lol. Oh and Merryl is in my house but everyone seem to think I'm with Isabella even if I don't play with her and have done nothing special to be on her affective side.

2- Second and the most fun thing. The side quest Who Needs Rescuing? (something like that at the start of act 3) dont work at all. I have done the coast for 1 hour to maybe find a place that I miss or something i forgot to do. The quest never properly start.

3- The import file thing at the start of the game does not import the game properly. My char(in DAO 1) was with leliana and when we see her she mention that year have past and nothing else. After that when I talk to the bartender of the Hanged Man he said some stuff about the 2 other game and what he said is not what I have done lol. I have even go back in DAO 1 to check if i was mistaken but no everything he said is not what I have done lol. They are a lot more little glitch or thing that don't work with the import thing so please fix that.

4- when you do the quest of Varric where he shoot (that what i have done) his brother. There supose to have a fight just before talking to his brother. When I enter the room ennemies appear i start to fight and PAF the cut-scene start right in the middle of the fight. The funny part is that the ennemies are still there i can see them in the cut-scene. Right after the scene end they simply vanished lol right in front of my eye.

5- the third chantry thing that brother genitivi wrote (for the achievement) is in the middle of a fight. So I go near the thing push RT to have the circle thing and clic to be able to read it. But nothing happen it's like it's not even there. I try to read it before the fight but all the time the fight start before i'm able to.

6-Fenris act 2 quest : A Better Pill (something like that) don't start properly with rivalry. I speak with him but everytime when i finish the talking thing the quest said updated but in the quest it said to talk to him like if nothing have happened. I talk to him again and it start from the beginning like if i never spoke with him a minute ago.

7-The assassinate skill is buggy a lot of time. The icon keep flashing like if i can use it oh now not, now yes now not. So I have to time my button with the now time lol it start to be a little annoying in nightmare high dragon fight lol. I know that sometime you can simply not use it. But me the icon flash between the 2 in rapid succession.

8-In the deep road expedition one of my char simply vanished in the ceiling lol. ( Aveline to be precise it was a little hard to fight without her lol) She appear near me after i have gone a long distance from her but it happen 2 time in fight and it's a little annoying.

9-I have killed the High dragon but it took me 2 time killing it to obtained the gland for the herbalist quest. The first time the dragon drop nothing lol. So i think Oh no not another Flemmet like in DAO1. I said to myself bah I will try it again and the second time the gland was there with an enormous number of drop lol.

That's about what I can think ( and remebered) of. There some other I simply don't remebered from the Act 1 but that's about it.

Just one thing, it's sad to see game that have so much bug glitch and anoying thing in it. I'm a beta tester for MMO (more than 50) and console game. I know that sometime some bug might still be in the game at release. But this one break record just like the previous one. So one thing come to my mind. Do you care for your game bioware? You do some amazing game like Mass effect and Dragon Age but you scrap it with release 6 month before it should have come. Now the thing you have to do is make a patch for all the bug you know. Not in 1 month or even 2 month. Patch what you can now don't wait for people to resold the game or trade it saying it was bad. Your game are not bad but maybe the person who said go release the game and the person who said that the game is now in Gold state are really of the grid. I mean it's better to wait like 2 more month than to have a realease like this. I know the end of your annual year is coming short so to boost the number you release a game really fast to make easy money just because of the name of it. Think next time please!

OK, semi spoilers in the first one!!


Ok, got a few more since I finished the game today.
1. The cut scene during the last mission where you kill the demon that the the First Enchanter turned into repeated. I had to press X to skip it to get past it. Not sure if it would've been stuck in a loop I didn't wait to let it play through a second time.

2. I also had the problem with Who Needs Rescuing not working. Ran all around the marker on the Coast but nothing was there.

3. I killed everyone in Reining it in but the quest never completed. Tried going back there and it's just an empty area with nothing to do. Everyone is dead is just won't complete.

4. And my big one from before, Isabella still stuck in Hawke's house unable to start her final mission.(This one really makes me sad!!)

Merrill's quests activating out of order. I am supposed to help Merrill get the last things to complete the Eluvian, but instead when I go to her house I get the quest "Mourning" instead. Then I have to talk to her again and I get the Eluvian quest. This is the same bug that most people are having. Just thought to report it as well.

Act 3 Issues:

Who Needs Rescuing Received the quest, but every time I tried to go to the wounded coast I got a "could not load zone" error and was booted to the start screen. After doing other quests (Aveline's companion / Orsinos / Pride Demon) I was allowed into the area, but there were no signs anywhere of initiating the quest except a random male human w/2 blades NPC spawning behind me after I looted a skeleton. I assume he's part of the quest but failed to load properly.

Runes of the valiant - I added one to each piece of champion armor, yet Attributes/Stats values do not update after adding them. I didn't verify, but I think the Health/Stamina bars adjusted even though the values remained the same. Regardless of removing one or several runes or taking off one or all pieces of the armor. I couldn't think of a way to verify at the time, but I don't think damage or crit change/dmg adjusted with the runes either.
