I have the same issues with Skyrim patched 1.6 beta sometimes it works sometimes it crashes and sometimes it decides to delete essential files whenever it pleases lol but i get what dragonfight says you buy a physical disk instore which only contains 6GB of the 8GB size of the total game meaning you have to download the last 2-2.5GB from steam which requires and internet connection which is great if you have one but it begs the question if you have to download the the part of the game to get it to work in the 1st place whats the point of the disk ?

@ Etheral,

I know. I spent over an hour just going back and forth in Amaranthine's map trying to trigger her side quest. It stinks that I triggered it my first playthrough, but I simply haven't been able to ever since for some odd reason.

It's one thing that I'm glad was fixed in DAII. Any random encounter specifically tied to a companion's quest -- you really only see it with Fenris in Act II -- will always happen.

Granted, DAII didn't have any "random" encounters and they were all scripted. But I'm glad that Bioware is at least trying to make it so that companion quests triggered by random encounters are scripted and not prone to bug issues on whether or not they're started. They will happen if the associated companion is in the party.

But still... they need to go back and fix Velanna's Exile. Ideally, it should trigger automatically after The Righteous Path is completed when she's in the party. But I'd settle for it just being able to trigger, period.

More then that, they need to fix the bug -- I assume it's a bug anyway -- that causes random encounters of all kinds to be progressively harder to trigger in Awakening.

I'd rather they focus on DA3 and making it the best game it could be, and then go back to older games, rather than divide their attention and do a slipshod job of both.

*Last post for the night, probably*

Question for you, regarding Velanna's exile: Do you happen to recall when you did the Righteous Path? Was it before or after recruiting Sigrun?

Reason I ask is because I'm fairly certain I was able to trigger it on my Sigrun first playthroughs long ago.

But why are more and more gaming companies feeling the need to release incomplete games, or games so full of bugs that it requires an internet connection to fix? If I bought Jade Empire (which I did) and all the bugs took away from my enjoyment, or if I had to spend a great deal of money after purchasing the game to add more to the story, I'd want to return it, which I didn't. I still have it. It's a fun game.

Some posters have already gone into the immediate motives, it adds revenue, it is seen as part the anti-piracy measures. But the ultimate reason is that the marketing people sucks horse manure through straws. They don't have a clue. EA's marketing do such astounding things all the time, that one has to seriously doubt they've gone to school.

Dlc is basically a good idea. And it would work against piracy (somewhat). First day dlc, otoh, is a terrible idea which actually loses launch sales and ultimate revenue. An incomplete game is simply something of lesser value, something of low value. And customers recognize this, wether consciously or feel. What's worse is that the existence of first-day dlc by itself has tainted dlc as whole and underminded the concept. That damage is definitely done.

For dlc to be truly beneficial, it also need to be a lot more popular. Meaning a lot more people need to buy dlc. Meaning it need to be beneficial for customers too. Beneficial in a greater sense than fixing an incomplete game. Meaning it has to be both a lot more easy and convenient to buy dlc. Meaning it has to be cheaper (It seems everybody have seriously misunderstood the concept of "micro-transactions", because I haven't seen any yet).

I don't see a trace of evidence that EA marketing ever have considered these things at all. Origin was deviced as something completely different than the free, convenient and easy customer service it should have been.
