Ok, again.. I must warn that this post will contain SPOILERS! -- it is related to the SocialNetwork more so than the game, thus I am posting it here. DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ IF SPOILERS WILL RUIN THINGS FOR YOU!





----------------------

While this is also a issue with the codex in-game, so I guess it might be related to this, I notice one (although it's not having a huge impact on anything) or two entries that are just out of context with the story I played.

By looking at my character Decurio's Story starting at 175:09:38, you can see I chose to seek aid from the Circle Mages to save Connor, at 175:16:09 it details me (well, someone anyways) Confronting the Demon in the Fade and then at 175:19:47 it suddenly says that Isolde gave her life? She did no such thing, I didn't want her to die and worked for it! Then on 175:21:33 you can see that I completed the story progression with saving everyone, and you even see Isolde standing there in the screenshot (love that screenshots gets injected in parts of the Story btw.!).

As I open with, it's not like it has a huge impact on things in the big picture, but it would be nice if my Story progression listed as it should. (And that the codex in-game doesn't say she died when I see her alive there as well.) Is there any chance of a fix for this eventually? I'm not saying it should take precedence over more major bug fixing, but I would still like it to be placed on a "We'll do it eventually"-list.

Also, cheers for fixing most all bugs I had encountered with the SocialNetwork this week! Profile updates smoothly and quick, Screenshots upload, and I can even delete unwanted ones with no issues! CSS has been cleaned up at least so that it looks proper on IE8, and JS was fixed so that menus and such are correctly working. Cheers, BioWare!

I think this is something to do with the game, or the savegame. It lists all the story events youve done. Probably wrong so. But afaik its only a list with no other purpose of sending it to this site.

It looks like the game granted you this codex. Does this codex show up as being completed in game?

As with my original post..  I must warn that this post will contain SPOILERS! -- it was originally pretty much related to the SocialNetwork more so than the game, thus I am posting it here. DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ IF SPOILERS WILL RUIN THINGS FOR YOU!

Well, this is perhaps the issue I'm guessing might be causing it to show up wrongly in the Story progression here in the Player Profiles; in-game, regardless of what you do and resultantly saving Isolde's life, it will list in the codex that she gave her life, although she is in fact not dead. I remember reading someone else commenting on it in another topic I made here on the SocialNetwork forums too, so I can only assume it's a bug in the game that gets mirrored into the online Story list and not unique to my copy/savefile(s). It stated the same the first time I played through, and also when I decided to kill Connor instead in a different playthrough (wich should lead her to live, although I guess she could have taken her own life afterwards).

NOTE: Let me add that every single other entry in the Story progression list, seems to show up perfectly in the order it should and with the correct information. It's only that one entry about Isolde being dead that is wrong.

----

Also, although slightly unrelated, if it is possible for the following to be confirmed as working as intended or bugged/cut content? I found a Codex entry in Redcliffe Castle, and to explain, I'll quote a post I made regarding "The Shaper's Life" quest not starting (bugged?), why Of Noble Birth even lists in 'Completed' quests (as failed) when not playing as a Dwarven origins character and the following entry:

At Redcliffe Castle, there is a object that you can click for the codex entry "A Rolled-up Note" wich also lists under the Journal Codex as Quest-Related, again leading me to believe there is supposedly a quest that should initiate or that there are something related to it someplace else after finding it (or that something you find prior to it should conclude the quest on finding that note, etc.)..

In short, the note tells of a person named Branan, who was born in Rainesfere and about his life and struggles. It ends with something that seems like an request, wich goes like this (bolded parts that struck me as most interesting):


Whoever you are, whatever they've brought you here for, if you leave this place, I hope you'll go to Rainesfere. There is no living remnant of us left there, but you'll find my family all the same. We're stamped onto the earth. We're in the wind that rustles the trees. Tell my family how I died, and I promise you, they'll hear.


It almost sounds like there was supposed to be a map spawn for Rainesfere, and in Teagan's codex entry, it says that he holds the bannorn of Rainesfere, a tiny province of Redcliffe's, squeezed between Lake Calenhad and Frostback Mountains. Haven't tried moving back and forth between those two map points all too much, so I guess it could be a 'random' world encounter there, will have to try it out a little.

I have yet to find anything related though, so if someone has found anything, information would be most welcomed. I guess it could also be a quest that they cut from the game, a future DLC perhaps, or something messed up with the PC version (if it exists on the consoles, there's very little information about it at least on the net).


You can see that it also lists in my Story progression at 170:39:55. Small minor things that are bothering my brain trying to figure it out (being that I am somewhat an completionist and want to experience pretty much everything in DA:O, I love this game). Also, is there really a way to actually see when a codex is 'completed' in-game? Did I miss something obvious?

If you're able and allowed to shed some light on http://social.biowar.../index/298768/1, it would be most welcomed. Thanks for the reply and that you took the time to look into it.

My character Girlbrush has the same problem, the story on the site doesn't match the choices she made.
