I've been playing DA:O for about 2 months now. Played through about 10 times & have unlocked all the achievements.

Everytime I try to play again, I just can't help but keep noticing annoying glitches whether it maybe Gameplay or minor technical issues such as timing of dialogues & character animations.

Here are few examples,

In areas where you can change companions like Lothering or Lake Calahand, the companion dialogue continues even when you no longer have that compnion with you.

When you play a female character, the running motion of your character is buged so that you see large weapons such as Two hand swords & staves chopping through the PC's achilles heels.

Perhaps, if the developer brought new contents out earlier it would turn my attentiion elsewhere as oppose to noticing all the glitches in the game.

I like to use this opportunity to discuss annoying glitches that you have exprienced during your DA:O playtrhough.

the water doesn't run all the way up to the cliff in the first brecillian stream. a hole through the wall in a certain angle, it's mostly these kind of glitches that enoy me most. i don't focus on the party details beyond the game mechanical ones. the only thing that is enoying is the run-stop-run behavior of your allies when you walk or stealth.

the whole tactics IMO is just to mask the fact their AI s**ks. So they came up with this tactics thing . Well I'm not fooled BIOWARE you need to make a modern day AI.

The reason we can pause is so that we can fix your AI from doing anything like ,with bow just start running to a whole group of mobs, to just standing there doing nothing.

And i love when your making first contact using bows the first hit your guys start running away in the other direction. While the mobs are bearing down on you wasting time where you could of shot off at least 2 more shots from the bows(for what) to get in a better spot.

Come on you hit them fine the first time why you need another spot?. There are the issues with mismanagement of CPU's ,CTD ,memory leak and loading times getting longer and longer like they were 15 years ago.

I have seen some bad glitches so far the whole redcliff night battle is so bad with the mobs either getting stuck up top and down below to the point you have to walk over to them for them to get unstuck.Ive had the guy in redcliff you give the lyrium to for a bribe .when i went to talk to him by the windmill he transported my group and him down to the Blackstone irregular guy .

And he was transposed with the Blackstone guy. My first game the first time i went to denerim. The game glitched me into arl Eamon's estate .The cut scene with logain was all messed up. I was able to save Annora get locked up, escaped. All that before i ever saved conner and the arl.

Sure enough the arl was in denerim . but if i went to redcliff he would be standing on his bed in the same spot as if he was still sick. there were 3 other npc's that did this transposing as well.

Also i once talked to Ignacio's little messenger while in denerim , And that triggered the convo
about a certain assassin failing in his job . But i had yet to even meet zevon .

Ive seen one of my char walk around like he was ice skating not moving his legs . there are more less game breaking like sloppy spots in the mesh where you can just walk into the void. And no this is not a downloaded game from steam. its store purchased from a CD.

No there is nothing wrong with my gaming computer its all stemming from weak coding. And they had to of known about allot of these issues when they released it . they just wanted allot of that Christmas money .

Remember when the search button didn't work for this forum when the game came out? I think it was just turned off until they could censor and edit allot of the things that were being reported IMO.
i mean come on how long have forums been around? and the search didn't work . hmmm

And last it was a pretty sly way of selling a game for 70-75 $ the way you did with the DLC .In which there were more problems with the DLC . And I have screen shots of ALL of these things but for some strange reason am having problems with the whole album feature of this social network .

PS leave the social networking to the facebook guys and spend more time on your games.

I loved the concepts behind and in game . You do have talent i can tell that . But its my first BIOWARE game. And might be shy of actually buying another because of the issues stated
above. To me it seems like EA has tainted yet another game designer IMO

edit:oh and forgot the nobel clothes i got from ignatio when i put them on a female anyone of them the clothes turn into a yellow like wetsuit with the words in black ( do not use)

/rant off

^ You know, I've never had any of these issues. Loading times may be a tad long, but I attribute that to playing on the highest settings I can. The worst glitch I've had was an odd camera change when talking to Riordan, and the occasional instance where an enemy spawns on top of another one/dies on to of another one, for some odd reason.



And really, the whole tactics thing is something I'd see as a defensive measure. People are going to complain about how you write your AI, one way or another. Why not just let them deal with the AI?



Keep in mind that I bought the Steam version, and haven't actually had any issues with anything (aside from minor spawn glitches as mentioned above)



The biggest problem I sometimes get is how long it can take to update a quest after I finish a specific portion about it. Especially if the quest involves killing someone.



Some people have had some really messed up problems, from what I hear. The game works just fine for me. Besides, it's a 15 GB game. It's somewhat reasonable that the game has more glitches than other BioWare games considering, well, that it's a lot larger than all of them.

Well, you've played through 10 times! I mean, that's an ungodly amount of play for one game these days.



So, after having done that so many times you're going to get to know the game very well, better perhaps than the people who did the quality testing for the game.

put wedding clothes on sten its unfinished the ones from city elf origin

dresses on females that go down to the bottom are cut up like the noble clothes when they walk

any other glitchs like not being able to return into the mages tower because i got teleported out when i was trying to do the last summon

i suspect the rest in my head and the 1 above are becuase of my over heating x box and my disc got a little bit warpped within a month of constant playing when i first got it.

Majority of "glitches" and "bugs" are caused by people using custom mods and are not the game. So many times since the launch of the game I have seen people complain about XYZ bug/glitch and you ask them if they have custom content and to remove it and it fixes their bug/glitch.



Other than your general graphics glitches here and there which are found in every 3D animated game, the gameplay "bug" that annoys me the most is at the start of battles and you issue orders, for some odd reason your party keep wanting to run into formation instead of doing the assigned action. Pisses the hell out of me.

That's really only because Tactics overrides whatever you want them doing. Pretty annoying, but I just micro. Move to one char, have them activate something, unpause, pause while it's being activated, switch, unpause, pause, etc. etc. Usually I just set tactics, though.

Battle AI and tactics, and the gameplay associated need to get back on track again. Not this half here half there mixture of compromises done.

I'm playing on PS3 and at one point all of Morrigan turned completely transparent except for her face, she was just a floating face and staff, it would have been funny if I didn't have to go to an older save game to fix it.



Also, twice I've found that the radial menu got switched so fighting was paused with the menu closed and running when the menu was open.

Spent about 10 hours on this so far and to be honest doubt I will spending much more. For e it was money wasted.

The way the characters stand around doing nothing when they are attacked is just dumb even if you set them to aggressive. Trying to keep everyone together when you are wandering around is difficult enough with it keep switching between grouped and solo, the times I've turned round and my comrades are no were to be seen, sometimes they follow sometimes they don't. The whole tactics thing is dumb and overly complex (why no simple mode for those of us who just want to have fun?) and as for saving, you get through a difficult bit and you can't save then get killed when you go around a corner and have to go through it all again and again and again.

Mass Effect worked for the most part, this doesn't.

I really don't have to many issues, a few things I'd like to see fixed



1) Load times, I'm not even playing at a high graphic level or anything and things take forever



2) the toolset won't install because of some file that needs to be manually changed, yet I can't even find teh folder to find the file to open and change, i' not a computer person so I just gave up on it.



That's really about it

Lorribot,

it sounds like you're accidentally turning on and off the HOLD PARTY command. It can be toggled by the H key or a button underneath all the party portraits (if youre on PC). If you've set hold party on, all party member AI, including autofollow and autoattack is disabled (ranged autoattack for some reason however, isn't disabled).

A good chunk of complaints about this game seem to stem from people not knowing the various game commands and toggles...

This game is not found wanting for bugs/glitches :) Most obvious visual bug i've encountered is the warden commander armor for the dwarf combined with the starfang great sword. It clips right through the ass of the player.

 a few things that really chapped my ass was the fact that the warrior's shield was a few inches off the character's back, like it was floating in the air. another thing was the sustained abilities created an effect or aura on the character and did not disappear in conversations, making it very awkward

My Arcane Warrior often has spell might, blood magic, Aura of Might(Fade Shroud) and shimmering shield simultaneously. This is very annoying if I forget to deactivate before a cut scene. Not a glitch though, I think it was designed that way.

I think the designers have done a tremendous job when most of the complaints have to do with clipping. 95% of games on the market would kill for a complaint like the above, paraphrased thus: "when you wear armor A and weapon B specifically on a race C character... there's a little bit of clipping."



I think this might be the least buggy game in the history of this genre.

Sounds a lot like familarity breeding contempt. I have yet to meet a game or any piece of software that did not have glitches. The idea is to keep them to a minimum and patch when found. Unfortunately visual issues depend on the graphic card being used and the computer configuration. Xbox and PS3 users have a set configuration. PC users do not.

If you want a cutting edge visual experience you must have the power to run it. Fortunately DA's requirements are not through the stratosphere. But some people will still try to run it at the minimum settings instead of the recommended settings.

If you use mods and other enhancements you cannot blame the developers if it does not look right.

Yes, some graphic issues will happen. But if you are on more than your first playthrough I believe you are getting your money's worth. I know I am. I have not play a CRPG three times in a row since well never.

It's hardly the best game in the world though is it ? Apart from the myriad glitches in the game and exploits with the economy etc. Etc. I'm probably going to get shouted down but some of the writing in the game is just plain cheesy rubbish. Compared to previous bioware titles I found it hard to engage with many of the characters. Shale, morrigan and sten were the highlights for me, allistair annoyed the hell out of me. The combat system is pretty glitchy the animations are appalling even the finishing moves have a rough unfinished quality. I forced my way through my fifth playthrough the other day and I've pretty much exhausted my tolerance with it all. The great thing about baldurs gate 1 and 2 was although there were many problems (not as many engine glitches) I went back to it time after time. I played the whole series from start to finish recently I can't envision it with this game not by a longshot
