I tried the cache clearing after all (cuz i have a three day weekend and REALLY want to play, ugh). Shut the system down, started up, loaded my game, went to camp and tried to level up some characters that were ready.....nothing. All still locked. Prior to this I had everything unlocked except blood mage and reaver, and I had just unlocked blood mage on this current character, saved, and went on to Brecilian Forest.......so there is no save prior to saving the Arl except a good 4-5 hours back. I havent even attempted to load any of my other characters.

i hope either the achievements lists get through xbox live soon, or bioware hurry up and fix it, as i might start to lose interest if i am unable to use the specializations. and the update came at the wrong time (just after i unlocked blood mage. i unlocked it, went to sleep, woke up, and made a new mage to turn into a blood mage. unfortunately i had updated, and was unable to get the specializations

Did you save AFTER re-unlocking the spec? Before the update (grrrr), I had unlocked ALL specs. For me, the sequence was:
~ Received the update before it was discovered to be defective (grrrr) and yanked (grrrrr).
~ "Resumed" CURRENT game, realized that Morrigan was ready to level, discovered that my previously unlocked Blood Mage and Arcane Warrior specs were now relocked. /cry
~ Quit WITHOUT saving.
~ Came here and found the workaround (thanks again to whomever discovered and shared this info).
~ Cleared cache, as directed.
~ Restarted DA and loaded up an OLD save (found a save where my team was in camp).
~ Asked Zev to teach me Assassin. Got the message saying Assassin was unlocked.
~ SAVED in a NEW spot (I think this is the critical step).
~ Quit and shut down the XBox.
~ Restarted XBox, resumed my CURRENT game, and voila, ALL previously relocked Mage specs were, once again, open.
~ To be sure, I did not save until I had the opportunity to level up Alistair (to ensure all Warrior specs were open) and my rogue (all Rogue specs open).
I did not need to re-play from the save I used to re-open the specs. Nor did I have to bother looking for old books or (ew ew ew) have to go through the bother of getting Blood Mage again (I can tell you, that would never happen -- I hated doing it the first time). After re-unlocking Assassin (then saving, quitting and restarting), I simply resumed my CURRENT game and all was fine. Total time spent to rectify the problem was, maybe 15 minutes. You shouldn't need to re-play 4-5 hours of game, even though the save you use is from 4-5 hours ago.
This problem never should have happened but it did. I hope those of you still struggling can get a quick resolution, either through the workaround or through something Bioware creates.

Ok, so i went in to try what you wrote and didn't have to. Everything was back. Very odd.
I think, since all my characters in this playthrough are at level 13, I will play until they level, get their second spec, and save in a new file. that way I will be PAST the problem for the time being.

Fiz, are you saying that everything is ok for you now? Everything is back to the way it was before the update? All specs you had already unlocked are once again open and ready for use? If so, I'm truly glad to hear it! I'm sure you must be relieved.

yes they are ALL back, So maybe you have to clear your cache and then wait awhile. when i cleared it i went right back into the game and they werent unlocked. But after I read You's post I went to try her method (about 30 mins after I had originally cleared the cache) and when i loaded it was ALL back.
It seems odd tho. I know they havent fixed the bug yet, have they?

I tried it again and pretty much exhausted all my options. I asked Zev to teach me to be an assassin since I had already used Og and Leliana to unlock their respective ones and still nada. I now only have assassin/zerker/bard and everything else is still locked.
Edit: I tried what was said earlier on this page on my high level main character that went through RtO and the specs were still there that was trained. Even though it's not unlocked as when I went to my new character, all of the specs are still locked save for zerker/assassin/bard.

All of mine are lock, I downloaded RtO and immediately updated. I completed the the Ritual and am about to go into battle on my new warrior character, however I don't want to play and not be able to use my hard earned specializations. All I know is, BW better fix this pretty dang soon, or come up with a pretty good apology pack.

Mine have all unlocked... but I don't know how or why.
Glad that it's fixed for me, though.

Return to Ostagar doesn't even show up as being available for download for me.....what in the world is happening? This is/was one of my favorite games. Can anyone offer any insight?

They released it on the 360, it ****ed up and was pulled. The issues regarding the specializations are unpredictable leading to some people having Cinderella stories, while others are led down to a pit ofBlindFURYwithin wrote...

It's quite frustrating, especially since i'm in the pit.

I wish they would at least offer suggestions or tell us whether or not we are going to have to get our specializations all over again. I really don't want to have to do that all over again..I had every single one unlocked.
I was going to do a 4th play through with a Archer but with everything locked out I'm not suffering through an archer without the Ranger spec

And how's that? The proflie recovery and cache clearing methods don't work for everyone. I'm one of them.

They're Baaaack. Specs were locked after clear cache when I hit lvl 7. but a restart and they're fine. Seemed to be roughly 30 mins after CC as Fizban said. No trainers required. Maybe it fixes itself from stored info. on servers? Ach. stayed at 55/55 too.

Yeah, the fix worked for me as well. Cleared cache, loaded old save just before unlocking Champion, unlocked, saved to a new file, quit game, restarted console, restarted game - all specializations unlocked again.
Thanks to those who came up with this!

Worked for me too which was a relief. Cleared my cache, went back to an old save and got the blood mage spec, then loaded my latest save and the spec appeared again.
Many thanks to every one who came up with the cure.

Followed the directions to a T, despite utter fear (made hubby do it on his account LOL), and the specializations unlocked for us. Worked like a charm.
Thanks to you wonderful folk for the work-around!!

I had started an Elf mage and once I had hit level 16 I was a
blood mage and an arcane warrior. When I got to the dwarf city that's
when the game got stuck. I got the mission "Betrayal from within" which
made the game get stuck, I luckily had an old saved file in which i was
level 9. So what I did was i restarted from that file as frustrated as
I was due to that glitch. I wanted blood mage and arcane warrior really
badly so what I did was I got the blood mage first and then went to the
dalish elf place and unlocked the arcane warrior but i was only level
12. I waited till I was level 14, when I did i was going to put my spec
into arcane warrior when wouldn't you know,
another glitch! I had unlocked it but it still said that it was locked,
and getting the arcane warrior was already gone since I had unlocked
it. I got so frustrated at the game that I'm really disappointed in the
game, I was so excited to get it that in the end it was a huge
disappointment due to the glitches. I have no other save file so if I
really wanted blood mage and arcane warrior, I would have to restart
the entire game all over again!
I've also noticed a lot of people having these problems. American RPG's tsk tsk tsk. You don't see japanese RPG's do this like FF.

All specializations are locked. I cleared the cache and they are all still locked. They were locked when I started playing this morning but I have spent all day unlocking them. My character got duelist unlocked as well as bard and assassin then Zev hits level 14 and he cannot use his specialization point because everything is locked except assassin. It is the same for my warriors and mages I unlocked shapeshifter and templer but no one can use it because all specializations are locked on all characters. This is a game breaking bug.
Is anyone working on this? I went to the general forum there is a 150+ page thread on the RTO DLC is this problem being lumped in with that?
