A small edit in an .ini file in your Bioware, Dragon Age folder fixes it so you never need to see another ad again.

i pretty much dislike every aspect of how they have handled dlc in this game, so yeah.

advertising in the game world breaks immersion, buying points is stupid, getting free items just magically popping into your inventory is lame, and paying 10$ for an hour of gameplay is overpriced.

the base box game is pretty amazing compared to most games these days, but the dlc looks like it was handled by a korean item shop company.

Quoted for Truth

Comments like this are just retarded:

A small edit in an .ini file in your Bioware, Dragon Age folder fixes it so you never need to see another ad again.

If you cannot share with exactly what it is that you are doing and what you mean by this, how it's done, what's being edited, and what file it needs to be done to, then don't bother posting this garbage.


And people need to stop qqing about the DLC being advertised, it's not going to change it, so either deal with it or don't play it.

and to quote what everyone else usually says to me:
Pissing and moaning about it on a forum won't get you anywhere and you should spend more time playing than complaining about little useless details that do not do anything.

Alternately, perhaps it is people who don't know how to edit basic files who are retarded? Just a theory. Even a middle school kid could google "editing .ini files" and get the info necesarry to do this. He COULD have provided a step-by-step walkthrough, but what do you want with free advice? No one is going to help YOU with a damn thing anyway, nice attitude.

and i could not believe the poor taste of whoever put the little description on the edge . it can be yours for the low price of. i felt i was being laughed at for buying the DLC . IMO that was wrong on so many levels.

[Bullets McDeath]

Well, the Edge was a freebie for registering your game early, so I don't think they really meant anything by that joke.

[Trajan60]

The real annoying thing is the advertisement comes up even if you already own the DLC.

You pull crap liike this and then say comments like that then you have the balls to tell people nice attitude...wow it's apparent you didn't get enough oxygen at birth

For starters I seriously don't care about editing any ini files because I'm not the one qqing about how the dlc is advertised. I don't care if it's advertised or not. So these little comments about how no one wants to help me are just like you....USELESS because no one ever asked for your help and nor does it even imply that. So you shouldn't be posting back with delusional comments.

I simply commented on how dumb that comment you made was is all. Why are you making idiotic comments like that full well knowing someone is going to ak you how at some point? Is it so you can start an argument then tell them nice attitude just like you did to me.

So again, you shouldn't be posting garbage if you don't know how to do it yourself.

You had the attitude to start with. You jump into the middle of a multi page discussion to tell someone their advice (which of course, you don't need becuz u am geenyus) is garbage and they are retard for posting it. I don't care either, I was just pointing out you're an annoying jackass.

Everyone does that to me and also changes around everything I say, then pisses and moans about it.

So now that it's done back by me to you peopel no one likes it.

Too bad deal with it, don't do it to me and I won't do it to you.

So by you saying that comment above I have quoted you are clearly saying that you will not ever go into one of my topics ever again to complain.

Ok Just remember you said that not me, and next time you are in any one of my topics I will put this as a quote from you by you.

You are just like everyone else on this forum, rude, ignorant, and like to start problems then point the blame. Exactly just as you are now.

Again you full well purposely started this because you posted up a statement you full well knew someone was going to make a comment on, so you could argue about pointless things and how your not at fault and then start bringing up someone has an attitude because they called you on something you shouldn't have done.

Well, for my input, I think we can see that there are differing tastes as far as advertising of any kind is concerned, or specifically DLC for games. This is not unusual; some people don't mind advertising in movies and TV, even cable, which originally had no advertsing and that fact was its main draw from public TV.



I think the dialogue with Dryden in camp is fine, myself. It's certainly not any worse than the many ads for buying "additional maps" and other stuff for various FPSes (annoying to me because I do not play competitive games, and only care about the actual story of an FPS and other games).



It's worth recalling that TV began with specific companies sponsoring various shows. Spot advertising came much later, and placement advertising came even later. Ultimately, it's those ads that pay a large chunk of the cost of making the entertainment you are enjoying (or trying to enjoy, at any rate). The complaints about this process are analogous to saying that you want a beautiful wooden table without cutting down any trees. Wanting mass media entertainment without processes such as advertising to pay the cost of offering the entertainment is not possible, even though it might be nice if it could be done (not possible as long as we are based on a capitalistic socioeconomic system, anyway).



The real question for people to consider is: do I want entertainment products, or do I not want entertainment products? If it's the former, you will get advertising of many kinds. It isn't only your payment for the product that pays for it, and your payment may not even cover the majority of the costs of offering it to you. Some ads and other cost recovery processes may bother you, even greatly so, while other people aren't bothered by them at all, or are bothered less than you. One ad may offend you while someone else actually enjoys it. Etc. Asking for things that only cater to your preferences is like assuming that everyone shares your preferencs, which obviously is not true, so there's really not much point in asking for such a thing. Understandable on a purely personal desire level, perhaps, but still impractical with respect to anything that is intended for multiple people.

[Bullets McDeath]

No, ZeroMystic, I will go into every one of your topics and complain because you are a complete ****ing tool and I hate you. And everything you type is equally retarded and hilarious. I literally cannot get enough.

Everyone already does anyway. and...... I'm waiting for the punch line!

Seems to me no one on this forum can handle having done back what they do to others, and every time they make up ludicrous reasons that aren't even justifiable for why it's ok for them to do things to others but no one is allowed to do it back.

For example look at the clown that said I just jumped in the middle of this with an attitude. Funny because everyone on this site jumps into the middle of everyone's topic and has an attitude. They do not even read the topic more than 3/4 of the time, they only go off of what others responses are and then think they know everything, this goes on despite being told to read the topic contents.

Anyone playing with those stupid Quest Exclamations on really cant complain about this. If you cant play a game without a giant lightbulb showing who to talk to then you certainly would never find the access to DLC on your own.

[Bullets McDeath]

Do you realize "the clown" you are referencing, is the same guy you are replying to right there? And the same guy writing this message right now. Was that supposed to be a joke or is your reading comprehension really that poor?



Yes, this board gets snarky. Even helpful me like me get snarky, especially when dealing with absolute funktards like yourself. Most people on the board get by just fine. There's a reason everyone hates you.

[Badger8126]

I wouldn't mind the ads so much if they were for something I hadn't already bought.

That is the real problem, they'll never stop bothering you no matter how often you buy the dlc.

I can buy the wardens keep a thousand times and they'll still advertize it as if it was the late and greatest thing I've never seen before....

Don't bother, this is his way of getting back the attention he always wished mummy and daddy could have given him.

I agree that it's annoying to have DLC ads in-game, but why would you deny yourself another game from a company whose games you seem to near universallly like (your own proclaimed gold standards for games, BG and BG2, certainly indicate as much) over it?  I would greatly prefer if Bioware could keep its DLC ads to the DLC option in the game menu like most games do, or even the loading screen ads (I'm not wild about loading screen ads in general, but if that's the only time they come up, they are text only and they relate to the game I'm actually playing then they aren't worth getting upset over IMHO); the in-game quest givers who then prompt you to buy DLC are, indeed, quite annoying.  It does hamper immersion a bit to be told that there are more quests and adventures out there for my noble Grey Warden, but because I haven't yet paid money in the real world to access them, I will mysteriously not be able to access these parts of the world.  I understand why DLC is helpful/important to a game studio spending so much on a single player game, and I hope it works out as a partial solution to piracy that doesn't require DRM or other obtrusive methods that primarily hurt legal customers, but ads for it should stay out of my game world.

All that said (and believe me, it's been said here about a million times, enough that I hope Bioware will rethink this specific approach to pushing DLC in the future), if you boycott Bioware titles over it, don't expect the rest of us to follow.  Bioware would have to do something far, far more obnoxious than a guy with a ! over his head peddling DLC at my party camp to convince me to deprive myself of their games.  If you honestly think the game is only 'okay' and are this annoyed by the DLC thing, why play it at all, let alone sign up for the community site so you can share your opinion with people who actually enjoy the game?  You're not under some obligation to like every game you buy.  It's ok to decide this one isn't for you and move on.  You don't have to convince us that's okay first, either.  I hope you warm up more to the game and enjoy yourself completing it - it's something you are choosing to do in your free time, after all, so if it's not enjoyable then why bother?

Rainen89,

You cry when things don't go your way and flame other people, but cry when you get flamed back

Nothing you say is going to justify the actions of all you 9yr olds on this site.

[Rainen89]

I'm crying? Truly? I'm actually laughing to be honest. Do carry on however, I always laugh when people think they're "tough" because they say bad meany words on the internetz.

not the kind of award you'd boast about if you won

maybe if they did win then it might go towards getting the message across that a lot of players think the idea is a bag of arse

I was going to, but seeing what else there is, i'm not gonna. Besides i'm confident that enough noise about that guy has been raised that BioWare won't use it again. If, however, a new DLC salesman is patched into the game, im afraid i'll have to bury BioWare to the mass grave with the other EA casualties
