I'm curious about the story of the Mage/Templar war, I don't really care about some new story DLC that have nothing to do with the story so I hope BW is bussy writing the plot for DA3. Unless ofcourse any new DLC can live up to the ridiculously high standarst of LotSB, and that we haven't seem in DA  DLCs so far.

If they working on a patch then they gonna release something else, otherwise they got your money already so why bother spending money to fix anything.

They could just be fixing it because the company is downright decent, but I'm gonna go with what I've seen countless comanies do theory, only fix when new money incoming.

Rebellion and the AVP game was probably the best "We're working on patch, we'll fix it we promise" *Release several map packs* then about 2 days later "Support for the game ended, no patch". MP matchmaking still does not work for ranked to this day.

He has entitlement issues and he'll be back.  Passive Agressive people never go away.  He thought he could whine and get the information out of them.

David Gaider, I summon thee!

Will there be new stories around Hawke and company? Please? Pretty please? *puppy eyes*

According to his Twitter, he doens't visit the forums anymore.  At least, not without a sock puppet account.

Really? Why? I mean, sure people are still hating DAII -- of which I am among them -- but it's not like it's the stuff that was present many months ago. The bashing that exists now is entirely -- or at least primarily -- intellectual and not "DERR FIRE DA DEVS!".

Perhaps you are visiting different threads than I am?  Given some of the blatent insults and disrespect I've seen leveled directly at the devs here, even in the more recent months, I really can't blame the man.  It isn't just bashing of the product, it's open hostility and rudeness.  I mean, I barely come on here anymore because of the vitiolic atmosphere and the hostility isn't even aimed at me.  Frankly, I think its a miracle any of the devs still visit the forums.

 What?  That's not true at all.

DA:O's patch 1.05 just came out 2 months ago.  And, as everyone here knows,  they've LONG stopped releasing DLCs for DA:O.  Same thing with Neverwinter Nights and the BG series.  The Last patch  for both of those games literally marked the end of all official content for them.

Patch 1.05 doesn't count. It just fixed authorization issues with the PC version of the UE, that's it.

I also agree that a new patch now after all this time seems odd. Why would they bother to fix a lot of little things a year later? They must be planning for something.

It will be interesting to see what happens to DA2 after ME3. I agree that most of the focus will be on ME3 but I don't see DA2 throwing in the towel yet. Sometime ME3's launch and before it's first DLC, we'll see something for DA2 I think.

As I pointed out before Mike Laidlaw has already confirmed that Hawkes story will be wrapped up with DA2 DLC. That means there will be at least one more story DLC.

[Nimpe]

Basically all it requires is you finish both DLCs -- actually just go past the Vault area -- and load up a save for that file.

So if you went past the Vault, saved, turned off the game, and then loaded that same save then the file would be corrupt.

At least, that's what's happened to me with every single playthrough where I've gone through MotA. Which means that I literally spent 10 bucks on a virtual paperweight.

Wow. So does it corrupt the game only while you're in the dlc maps or anytime you save at any time after you complete the dlc? I don't think that my games were corrupted. I'll have to check when I get home.

The plot of DA3 has been revealed in the ending of DA2 unless Bioware creates a DLC which will put an end to this war which will then alter the plot for DA3.

[Demx]

Do you remember that leaflet with the blood dragon and the release date February 1st, 2011? People thought that some big news was going to be announced that day. All that was announced was the Dragon Age Legends closed beta test. The evidence you have is about the same as that.

He did say that Hawke's story would be wraped up in future content.
Just goes to show again you're still bitter about DA II and prefer to believe otherwise AND are misinformed about things.

By the way, what do you guys believe we can take from David Gaider's latest interview?

Nothing is confirmed, obviously, but what would you like to see based on what is discussed in the interview?

Future content could mean anything. It could be a DLC exclusive to DA3. It could be a movie. It could be a book. It could just be dialogue in one of those 3 things.

Sure, it could be a DLC or expansion. But to say that it will be when "future content" is really vague isn't a correct assertion.

These are some quotes from the interview with David Gaider (swooping is bad: David Gaider interview) in regards to decisions made in DA:O/DA2:

"I think we can at least promise that big decisions should have a big impact on the game".

"And I think that ideally, at least in my view, if you made a decision, you should get content that is specific to that decision." 

"Okay, there's this big decision from Dragon Age Origins that we're going to have to deal with. Here's our current plot,
here's what the decision was, so what do we do to respect that decision in this without making it balloon out of control"

What I would like to know is which decisions you guys think will be implemented in future content! I keep reading about the Dark Ritual, but there are other decisions/actions that will have an impact on the story right?

(Just like to say, that I would like to thank the writers team and all of the Bioware staff for making a great fantasy rpg! There is a lot of pressure on you guys I think, but I believe that future content will be AWESOME! Yes, I use this word!! Deal with it:P  )

Not to mention  that he literally  did not say that Hawke's story would be wrapped up in a DA2 DLC.

Regarding 'future content', here's what we've heard from the Devs:

1) We have not seen the last of the Wardens, or the Hero of Fereldan.
2) We have not seen the last of Hawke
3) Morrigan is a critical figure  in Dragon Age, and we haven't seen the last of Her.

To interpret any of this to mean: "there's gonna be more DA2 DLC!" is absolutely baseless, as they did not say so, and  even the statements by themselves do not remotely suggest such a thing anyway.

Well it certainly will not be a book or movie. David Gaider himself said when talking about the lack of Hawke references in Asunder that non-game-media (comics, books, and I assume also movies) canon should be separated. Sure, everyone who played DA2 experienced the climactic events in Kirkwall, but it's written so as to be very vague about who (other than Anders, who is specifically mentioned in the novel - note that it wasn't even said whether he was alive or dead) was involved, and the side Hawke picked is certainly not mentioned. Really, with the events in Asunder, it's not even pertinent to the plot.

So, unless there are some import references in a future game, or further DLC, I doubt we will get any mention of Hawke anywhere else.

It's one thing to retcon NPCs, it's something completely different to retcon PCs, and that's what it would be if anything other than a vague mention of our Hawke was in something other than further game material where we have no control over the content. At the very least, a segment of the players would be alienated on the basis of gender alone, not to even start on class, romance, and the Big Choice.


Can't someone link to Laidlaw's statement about it so we can put the issue to rest?

He means that in a way that some decisions are there to allow freedom of choice, to give you a sense of variety (you can do things differently but you alone know how you got there) and the big, future changing decisions are the ones that carry over into future content.
This isn't like Mass Effect, which was designed as a trilogy, so that gives the ME team a bit more leeway when it comes to decisions. 
But again, Laidlaw (and others) said in the PAX panel that chioce and consequence were going to be major points of focus, so rest assured those will be relevant.
