Hi All:  Just asking if this is true or not, I read somewhere that you have to pay for extra Character slots for DA?  Also how many characters can we make for Dragon Age too?   In another of my Bioware game (Mass Effect) I have around 26 Shepards, so will this affect Dragon Age or I dont have to worry?

[Errel]

I certainly hope that's not true... O.O

[Darthnemesis2]

I'm not sure what you mean by "pay for extra character slots?" I know there is a skill called Combat tactics that opens up extra AI slots.

[MrGOH]

Yes - once you reach your hard drive's storage limit, you cannot save any more characters until you've deleted some or bought another hard drive. Unless you're saving on an already jam-packed drive, you should be fine.

If you mean character slots as in the amount of characters you create then I seriously doubt it. That sounds like something you'd have to do in an MMO. I'm not sure how many characters you can create but it will likely be infinite.

[Maria Caliban]

No, you don't have to pay for character slots.

[Sakarakas]

I've certainly never heard of a single-player game requiring you to pay for character slots. MMO's, sure, but not SP's.



Since Bioware has allowed us to create as many characters as we wanted in the past, I assume that's also the plan for Dragon Age. As I said, I haven't heard of anything to the contrary, and I've lurked pretty thoroughly on the DAO boards over the years.

Hi, sorry about that (Dont strike me down Chris lol). On Gametrailer web site it talking about the addons what DA has (some guys getting upset about it) no characters slots (Big Sorry)

Given EA's respect for players (ha!) and it's blatant greed (as witnessed by Day One DLC... just add it to the game people!) I could certainly see EA trying to make people pay for characters in a single player offline game.



I have faith that Bioware won't let that kind of stupidity happen though.

No, the day 1 DLC has nothing to do with greed. Read up on it. Secondly, the OP already took back the mistake of making this thread, so don't worry about it. <_<

Not too fan the flames... but have you considered that the DLC wont be finished early enough to be added to the Gold version? Most games after all go gold several weeks to a month before the game is released so they have time to manufacture and distribute it. DLCs on the other hand could be being tested and tweaked as little as a couple days before they are actualy released. If adding Wardens Keep to the final on-disc version meant that the game would be delayed by weeks would you want them to do so?

You're right, EA should just recall all its copies of DA:O already through the press, print new CD's with the DLC included into the game, and print entirely new boxes and take back all the promotional campaigns about DLC on the first day of release to just put everything they can on the disc and then ship it off again, so people can work twice as hard for a very minor inconvenience for the users.

That makes perfect sense.

As for the character slots, I could only see a need for them on the X-box 360 or PS3 versions. They don't have the same type of hard-drive storage as a PC does, albeit similar.

Even then it's really unlikely.

Will someone please send a savior to save Bioware from the Corporate demigod that is EA.

nope sorry
were all out of saviors
but
we do have lots and lots of left over candy

[Mordaedil]

I think EA is having a good influence on BioWare. Their popularity surely is soaring.

[Celros]

sadly we aint talking small sums on this case :/ I just curse EA

[Mordaedil]

You are aware they could do a lot *worse* than EA, right?

I agree.

[Napoleon1853]

I think Bioware will let us make as many characters as we want, or at least a lot of them. I don't think we will need to pay for extra character slots.

I think that should be reversed. EA has a bad reputation. It is Bioware that is having a good effect on EA.

[Silentplanet]

People who have little knowledge of the situation or industry should avoid commenting on such matters... i.m.o.

SWG flashbacks...



If you have 26 Shepards I think Bioware should seriously consider charging you though

[Lucas78]

Gonna repeat here, but it doesn't make sense to limit character slots in a SP game: characters profiles are hosted on your  hard drive (and yes, on Bioware server if you decide to upload them), and you can put them back in the game directory whenever you need them (for multiplayer campaigns, other modules, etc.). So no problem

Seems like paranoia is alive and well.
