Sorry if it's been asked/answered but does anybody have an idea of when it will be available?  Looking forward to tinkering and seeing what the really talented community-types are gonna do!

I was totaly afraid of this... in 2008, the Tool Set WAS Dragon age, the single player campaign was the add on to show what the Tool set could do. by 2009, Bioware had become EAware, and products seemed to have changed positions....



oh PLEASE let me be wrong on this! PLEASE. I'm just soo sad, that the tool set didn't come out at release, like has been said repeatedly by those that were trusted at Bioware. It shakes the faith, as this isn't something that 'snuck up' on em, ya know?



/emote waits in fear for the "still under development / anticipating a 1st Q release." announcement his paranoid side says will come shortly.



zWolf -out.

The toolset is already available for download.... can't get the link right now as I need to run! but... I did post it in a discussion in my group (see sig). Look for the discussion called "Dragon age toolset download location" to download it you have to register your serial with the social network.

Edit - Here we go - http://social.biowar...t.php#downloads I don't have the game yet, so I haven't tested downloading this.... Let me know how goes

Yeah, that link isn't exactly new information.  If you did have the game, you'd know that the download link itself 404s.

Whats this based on ?

I've been following the game for over a year .... and they have certainly been developping the game for more than a year... there's no way they made this amount of content in 12 months.

Looks like a really nice tool set, one I can really sink my teeth into creating plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces. I much prefer creating new areas in the tool sets/editors of all th games that I've bought that have them, than I do actually playing the game. It's probably a good 70/30 fun factor for me (editor/game).



It's a double whammy for me, Im also still waiting on the tool kit for TorchLight as well. Nothing to do but wait for which ever one comes first and have some fun.

I have no idea what the last-minute glitch is - however, there were some changes made between the last two versions of the beta toolset that I got - maybe some of those changes introduced a problem, even though I did not run into any show-stopping issues myself.



Basically, unless this is a legal/contractual issue of some kind, I would expect it to be resolved with in few days, not weeks.

My assertion is bassed on my attendance of PAX in 08 and 09.  the Focus in 08 was definitly the tool set, hands down it's what the developers talked about over and over was how cool it was going to be to make your own adventures.  I'm not saying that they weren't working on the campaign at the time, (they had been working on it for a long time as a mater of fact,) just saying that the emphasis in 2008 at the Penny Arcade Convention in 2008, was on the tool set.  

I'll admit it's an exageration if I made it sound like there wasn't even a single player game... that's not the case, just that the Tool set was talked about much MUCH more in 2008, than it was in 2009.

At PAX 2009, it was all about the Campaign and the story, and the visuals, etc.  nary a word was mentioned regarding the tool set.  it was VERY diffrent from 2008, is the point that I wanted to make.  all that said, it's just me QQ'ing over not having the set in my sweaty little paws yet.  and dreaming up EA conspiracy theories to feed the paranioa racing through my mind.  (and C'mon, EA's done enough bone headed things for it not to be too much of a streach to imagine them Horking things up for Bioware right?)

so ya, it seemed like there was quite the focus change between 2008 and 2009 when looking at the tool set and the prominance that it held at both of those conventions.

Well, file me under "can't wait" heh. As of right now it's still not working. Heck I'm not even a real modder I just like to tinker behind the scenes.

I don't understand your sarcasm.  You don't need the game to click a link on a website. :whistle:

I've been following Dragon Age for a lot longer than a year.  They have definitely been focused on the game itself since the beginning.

You can see above that the mod tools are merely a bullet-point.  The impression I've head since the beginning was that Dragon Age was Bioware's opportunity to create the RPG they've always wanted to, without having to conform to a license-holder's wishes.

zWolf, perhaps you attended a different PAX...but the 2008 discussion of DA involved the toolset and all the cool things they were doing with the official campaign using it...but the emphasis was definitely still on the scope of the story.



I appreciate that you're upset at the delay (your posts in the old forums are quite clear on that point), but please keep the heresay to a minimum. Thanks.

I'd like it to be within the next 48 hours. Mostly 'cause I'm flipping out as all heck trying to figure out how to work some kinks out of this game.

All I know is I'd like the tool set to come out soon, as the generally terrible experience I'm having is causing me to regret buying Dragon Age. My computer should be able to handle it, yet... it's somehow not.

Well, that idea certainly should've changed the moment BioWare was acquired by EA. This was supposed to be a PC-exclusive, now it's not. Things change.

It's really disappointing that the most essential part of the game that i've been waiting for is not ready for release and I was really looking forward getting the game on the day of release,so i can toy with the toolset... Tsk...I hope Bioware released that toolset ASAP as promissed and not put a pricetag on it..
