thanks for the update.

what made me angry, is that you guys announce an expensive DLC, when delaying another one.

It kind of reminds me of FF14 announcement, wh...what? you announce you been working on FF14 while delaying FF13? and then at the same been working on FF13V(spin-off) so basically FF13 been delayed because you guys wanna do many things at once?

I mean, please fix what you start, before announcing content over content when the first isnt even done...

Hey, I removed the Blood Dragon Armor to put on the Juggernaut Armor and my characters model didn't update to reflect that. He still looks like he is wearing the Blood Dragon Armor.

That happens to me sometimes too Franpa ... not specifically with the blood dragon armor or the juggernaut but with other armor. I just save and then reload. Usually fixes it. That or exiting the game entirely and reloading it.

Except throwing more money or having more people working on something does not mean it can be done or will get done any faster. Have you ever heard the old phrase "too many chefs in the kitchen"?

Why not adding a reset achievement option? We really need it so badly. Not to mention that it would increase replay value greatly.



Please, I beg you! :(



Another one, We really need DLC packed retail dvds :)

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll try to tackle what I can from the posts up to now ...

What do I mean by Awakening being available as digital download?  It should be available at the same partners that offered the full DA:O game digitally.  It will also be available via 360 marketplace and the PSN store.  Before I get myself into trouble like RtO - that's the intention, we're still working on Awakening, and still need to get it through MS/Sony cert etc etc etc Image IPB


ATI card fixes - good question.  As with any hardware specific issues these are harder to reproduce as we don't have every card/model in-house, and/or may require driver updates from the hardware partner.  I know we're looking at issues such as these, but off-hand I don't have an update for this one specifically.

Mods for PS3 - nothing to update on this yet.  Keep watching the toolset forums for more updates on this in general though.

ME2 game integration to social - Check in on the ME forums for ME news.  Off-hand I'm not aware of what they are planning.  Image IPB

Collector's edition for Awakening - not that I'm aware of, if that changes i'll be sure to update it here.

Do you need to download a patch for Awakening/RtO, or voluntary?  Depends.  The patches are always recommended, but you don't need to buy the content to get them.  In the case of some digital PC versions (e.g. Steam), or consoles that are online, I believe the patch happens automatically before you get the content.  Not sure if that answers your question? 

Will the download version have more goodies?  No.  The content is the same regardless of version.

Will you carry over equipment and such to Awakening?  Pretty much.  And when you import your character in, you'll effectively continue that character as they were in DAO - unless you were not high enough level for Awakening, in which case you'll gain those levels.

Can you import the world 'state', but start new in Awakening as the Orlesian Cmdr?  No.  The world 'state' only exists and lives on as part of your character's choices - most of the reactivity to events and choices in Origins would simply not make sense if it wasn't 'you' that did it.

We should update the official dao add-ins page?  Ack.  Absolutely right.  Will poke again to get that sorted out.

On the IGN interview I said Awakening was the largest content evah!  That's a good catch.  That was meant as 'at the time'.  Image IPB

Will Awakening characters be able to go onwards to future DLC?  Yes, sort of.  Sorry to make it cryptic - you'll have to wait a little more to hear about some of the future DLC for this to make sense. Image IPB

The RTO fix takes more than a week?  Actually the fix was pretty straight forward but took a few cracks at it.  But it's getting it done across 3 platforms, 9 languages, tested, etc that really takes time. 

RTO is out already, and I'm an unhappy bear as a result.  Unfortunately it does seem like an earlier version leaked - as with anything digital we ultimately have to put it online to do some of our testing phases. Image IPB  I haven't looked at what is out there myself so I couldn't tell you what version it is or whether it is content complete, but what I can say is since we haven't released it yet, it is not the final version that will be coming. Image IPB

Will Awakening be like a full 360 title and provide 1000 achievement score?  No.  Awakening is an expansion pack, not a new title so the limit is reduced by MS.

And lastly, when is RTO coming out?  We'll do a formal update very very soon, promise.   Image IPB

I think i may be misunderstanding this but is RtO delayed on PC and 360? and also if anyone can answer this for me but do we not get the points from all the achievements we earn in game and if we do how do we register so that we can use them when the dlc does come out.



thanks

RtO was delayed across all platforms.



Achievement points is a 'bragging rights' type of score, you will not be able to purchase content or spend these in any way.



BioWare Points is what you can use to purchase additional content.

Thanks for the update and more so saying something about the issue of the ATI video cards. I really am a sucker for incredible story and waiting for a fix kills me. Besides doing the under clocking thing I rather just see a fix from the people that know it best, you guys. Keep up the work and hope to get the other DLCs and expansion once I can get more out of the original game. Thank you Fernando.

What if in DAO, we sacrificed ourselves to slay the demon? How can we still be alive in Awakening?

Thanks for posting info, even though there's not much new info, it's still a great way to show that you guys care for the community and a good way to avoid speculation. Again thanks.

We're way too pampered Image IPB

Still no response to my question? Will the patch allow those of us who played and finished the dlc's in the first days of the US release and got the achievements only to lose them when the game was released in EU to get them back? If not when will it be fixed?
