I put this here because I don't need technical help, especially when the solution is to replay what you already played over. I'm posting this here because I want answers from Bioware. I just bought the game today and an hour ago I found out I'm going to have to replay hours of gameplay just to be able to play the game how it was meant to be played.
I'm playing on x360 and because I tried to troubleshoot myself by leaving the area and coming back, the bug is now autosaved and the last manual save I did is was hours ago. This bug is garuanteed and repeatable so much that even on the DA2 wiki it clearly states that if you loot the guys before isabella tells you, then your game will get bugged and you won't be able to get isabella.. (what rpg vet isn't conditioned to loot right away anyways).
My whole point is that you shouldn't HAVE to replay to fix a bug, the bug should be fixed by the people who made the crappy code in the first place OR at the very least let CONSOLE players know that the bug exists BEFORE they start playing the game. As I understand it, for pc users the bug is stated in the read me, well there is no read me's for console. To me, this is as absurd as when apple made iphones that didn't get reception and blamed it on user error. When there's a fault in your product thats triggered by intended use, you have to fix it.
In the end, I know bioware makes great games but in this case they dropped the ball. And they especially shot themselves in the foot for staying silent and letting players find out about this gaping hole for themselves. So my question is Why be silent bioware? Are you even working on this? Is it a fixable bug? And please let console players know about this through the messaging system on the main menu until its fixed.
Fool's Rush in known game altering bug, WHY!??!

Yeah I know but this particular bug isn't restricted to just Isabella. There are a number of quests (such as Dissent) that can be severely messed up if you try to loot before the combat is done, but there is at least one Achievement (Chantry Historian) that can't be achieved unless you do.
My advice? In this game always loot after combat is done and the cut scenes are finished EXCEPT when facing Mother Petrice and her fanatics in the Chantry. In that scene (and that scene only) you should loot during the battle (and click on the History of the Chantry by the Alter).

There are many bugs in DA2 sadly. ALthough I thought the isabella issue was fixed in the recent patch..

It may have been. I've not tested it with 1.3 (this particular bug) so it might have been fixed. I've simply gotten into the habit in DA2 of NOT looting until after the combat is completely done (with one sole exception).
