I'll deal with the DDE wallpapers first.

For those who haven't got the DDE the wallpapers consists of 12 wallpapers. Most of them only go up to 1920x1200 so you're out of luck if you've got a 2560x1600 screen, or will be getting one of the upcoming 2560x1400 screens when they're released.  The main problem I have with them is that they're rubbish. They're strewn with logos and branding like the ones on the website and seem to have been put together out of in game screenshots and early concept art with the Morrigan wallpaper looking nothing like her and the map one being obviously wrong next to the in-game map. 

Ignoring the logos and other branding the brood mother picture is nice (if a little odd looking shy) and the warrior is good except for that strange blur that makes him look like he's melting from the feet up.

Considering this is one of only two incentives for the expensive UK digital deluxe edition (the other being the partial soundtrack, which is missing the nice song from the credits) they really should have been much better.


And on to the digital manual. It's completely rubbish. The only reason I can see to put it in PDF format is so you can nicely divide it into pages so the users can easily print it, but then that plan is cunningly foiled by placing a large colour image behind each page ensuring that the ink cost would be astronomical.

I was going to complain some more about it but clearly it's just the paper manual's pdf file, right down to the screenshot split across two pages. The digital market is important enough for it's own deluxe edition, yet it's not important enough to have ANY work done on the manual to make it more suitable for digital use? There isn't even a way to open it from the Dragon Age launcher. 


Whoever was responsible for these two things really dropped the ball and I hope bioware's future digital releases handle them much better.
