Anyway, back on topic, my apologizes to the mods and BIOWARE for getting on the soap box.

[Survivor Coach]

In Haiti today, 70,000+ corpses were pulled from the earth-quake savaged ruin that they used to call home. It is expected that by the end of the recovery efforts, that toll will climb to 200,000+. People are literally dying in the streets, and others are losing limbs, because they can't get medical attention fast enough to stop the spread of infection in their wounds. Still think looting the corpse of a fictional character is important? Instead of lamenting your inability to play an extra hour of Dragon Age, spend an hour considering how fortunate you are to still exist to complain about something that you will ultimately forget an hour after you get it.

Yes because being upset about one thing automatically means you forget and do not care about anything else going on in the world.... just because some are not playing the violin for those poor folks everywhere they go does not mean they ignore it or do not care.
So stop making outrageous claims and generalzations. Stop using the pain and suffering of others in a attempt to demean others. That is by far worse then complaining about something like a DLC or how poorly it was handled.

[OH-UP-THIS!]

It's interesting how you gave us a news update AND stayed on topic.........good one, thank you.

It's lovely how this kind of troll-post that adds nothing to the discussion but serves exclusively as a flamebait and as a way to demean others that share a different opinion, HAS to come out once every few pages.

Yes, we care about Haiti. No, earthquakes doesn't make minor problems completely disappear because you say so. Ktxbye.

I think..what he was attempting to do was put things into perspective or focus, let people out of their little self-imposed boxes, you know?

I'm sorry, but that kind of condescending post has been pure trolling material since when forums were invented. We don't need the usual guy screaming "I have a real life! Look at me! I have a real life! I'm so cool!" (which is normally untrue anyway) to come and let us out of any boxes. We all have real life, watch the news, mind you. I'm a volunter and I've dug people out of the rubble after Earthquakes more than once. does L'Aquila ring a bell?

Despite what some self-elected cool guys think, people don't have an one-track brain. Human beings are capable of multitasking.So yeah, we can care about Haiti, and we can still, at the same time, care about receiving information on what we paid for. It doesn't take that much effort, I assure you.

Since you are so concerned about the people in Haiti, maybe you should be spending the time you are browsing these forums and posting such off-topic content (apparently only meant to shame people) instead on fund raising or volunteering or some such.

There is a level of hypocrisy in your post, Survivor Coach.  It is probably (relative to the tragedy you mention) just as petty and selfish to make the post you did as it is for anyone on these forums to complain about the delay of DLC.

I don't think there's any need for your kind of post, and I actually think it might be against forum policy on some level.

Again, if you are so concerned (not judging whether you are or not) AND posting in this thread is so comparitively unimportant, why are you posting?

Do you... honestly think that PC users would say they have played RtO here? On this forum? Even though as far as I'm aware it wasn't made officially available on the PC version, so they'd basically be admitting to piracy?
Do I even have to explain what's wrong with that?

Oh i don't think they need to admit it. With all the online components DA:O has, I would be surprised if Bioware didn't have a way to see if someone illegally installed an unreleased piece of content.

Hopefully the ones that stole RtO will have what they deserve coming to bite them in the rear soon.

As far as I am aware, if you have never registered your game, then there really is no way to do so. But if you have registered it previously then that may be a different story.

And you do realise I was trying to lighten the mood by being facetious. Considering you were the only one that really bit I can only assume you didn't.

And how can you assure me that people are having issues with the leaked version?

No, I really didn't get it the first time! Thanks for clarifying that to me... 'tis not my language! =) (but you know some crazy zealots did say they brought it upon themselves because of their religion, right? hope you see what else could be associated with that sort of thinking... or not thinking to be more precise!)

I didn't say people are having issues with it.. I said the leaked version has issues... but I really can't get into it.

Yeah I had my Pat Robinson hat on (he is the preacher idiot who said that it was all their fault btw)

Might pm you...

Again I think the underlying theme was perspective......not trolling.  

It's absolutely condescending to come here and think other people need you to teach them "perspective". But do go on playing devil's advocate if you will. I'd say more than one picked up on what was the true intent of that post.

I feel compelled now to add my take on this whole "marriage is meaningless" thing before it gets driven too far away because it's off topic lol. My wife and I were just like you're saying "marriage means nothing" and we still feel that way in reality. But we were together 6 years, and the people we wanted to have at our wedding (if we ever had one) were not getting any younger and we decided that we would do it for everyone we cared about more or less. The reason we chose last year (August) was because my best friend since the 2nd grade died in April of Leukemia, my aunt died in June, and my father had died previously in 2005. At this rate, if I wanted friends or family to be there, it was pretty much sh*t or get off the pot. If this was a bad reason to get married, then we were foolish or w/e. Did it change our relationshp? Not one bit. But at least at the end of the day, 20 years from now or w/e I can say I did have my brother there, or my mother there. I'll tell you now, you don't forget who was there, and I certainly won't ever forget who wasn't there.

Yes, my father passed when I was four, so when I got married, my brother stood in his place to give me away.

At least my Mom was there ...was a good time btw, my brother singing Jack the Knife on helium..HILARIOUS.

Ooo, off-topic topic I know something about.

I personally don't care about marriage.  I think the institution as a whole is antiquated.  Personal opinion, not judging those who believe in marriage.
I think too many people feel they have to get married or have failed at life if they don't get married.  And I think that mindset is a little sad.
For some TMI,  I'm one of the people Bill Maher would call "lame" as I've been with the same woman my entire "dating" life.  We met in 1992, were together until 1999 when we got married, and are still married today.
Yes, married.  It was done for financial reasons, legal reasons, and because my dad was dying and I decided it'd be a nice experience for the last year of his life.
We had a small ceremony (the "wedding" had a justice of the peace, was at the historical society, and lasted maybe twenty minutes) with immediate family and a couple friends (one each.)  And no reception until a month later, and that was for family who were really upset they weren't at a big church wedding.

The wedding and reception were not really for us but for family who "needed it." *shrug*

We were happy for 7 years before the marriage, we've been happy the 10 years since.  Other than taxes and my wife's last name, our relationship's not much different than it was in 93-94.

As if anyone cared.

Honestly, I do remember everyone at the wedding (as I said, small) but I don't think I even knew half the people at the reception (family invites by the parents on each side, mostly.)

*shrug*

Wait, this is a Dragon Age forum and not the Marriage: Good, Bad or Indifferent forum?

Let me state VERY CLEARLY...I am a PC USER and I haven't even seen the opening scene of RTO yet. Maybe I'm unusual, but I don't believe in ripping merchants, and others off..even though it seems to be a mainstream trend these days. I probably belong in a museum, but I have my principles,...despite what "everyone else" is doing.

And this is the only time I am going to refer to that ..which is not mentionable.

Didn't someone put you in a home already.....OLDIE

Well I do not frequent those particualr forums and as another stated several freinds with a wide spread of characters and such have had no problems. Cool but are they actualy putting it thru its paces so to say? Or just playing and going "its perfect yabba yabba doooo".
I know its also speculation but we have no idea at all if that leaked version was the one ready to go or a prior version that is lacking something else.  When it is officaly released I think I will get my answer.

I thought I would inquire on this point. the range of 'time' is around 38 hours to 55 hours through the people I know. Once you know the game you obviously get faster at it, but they all tell me they were trying to test it so they weren't skipping through as quick as they could. 

However, I am not sure what difficulty they all used - but I doubt that would make a huge difference

Setting previous dates (holiday season, Jan. 5, etc.) was a mistake, since we didn't hit any of them. We were optimistic enough to set those dates, but things did not go as planned. Now, we are dropping back a bit and trying to realign expectations so we don't get a community all up in anticipation again.

But it's not fair to say that the note contained no information. First, you know that new code is in testing. We're not just looking into the issue or working on the fix. We've begun the testing process, which is the first phase of getting it released.
//snip//

I do think all the pointing fingers and indignation is pointless. 
I also understand that things come up... i am a consultant, and have had the unpleasant task of informing clients that their product is going to take longer than expected... at no additional cost to them... and when it occurs there is always a tendancy to under-estimate the time required for the fix--hopping that through hard work, strength of will, and lack of sleep, that you will "make it all good for them."  rarely is it that simple... and managing their questions often slows down the progress.

so understanding what you guys must be going through, it is still reasonable to expect a ball-park estimate of when we can anticipate the product.... next week? next month? three months? 20104th Quarter?  PC? XBox? Others? 
A simple table would do.  
When you take money for the product early:bandit:, you DO have an obligation to keep the clients informed of progress:police:.

And clearly, "hope to get it done as soon as possible" does say nothing. You WILL get it out as soon as possible... You Hope that it will be done by XYZ, 2010.

And, by the way, thanks for all your hard work. we know your work is more akin to designing a new car than it is to changing the oil.

[Metallicka]

I have RtO, I got it legally, while it was still up on xbox live. The only thing that was missing (and I'm not sure the final product will even have it) is the Duncan side quest mentioned in the product description. The items were the low level versions, but that was easily fixed with the party chest from Warden's Keep.

[Elerrina_7]

Go like Blizz "Soon™" But thanks muchly nice to see an update on the xbox issue, hope its fixed soon. At least mums happy for a while and gets to play Oblivion again xD

Put the item in the chest, leave the area, come back, take the item back. Your item will have it's tier upgraded to your level.

[Argia]

Adicted2Anime, supposedly... if you stash stuff in the chest at warden's keep early in the game, and revisit the keep latter, the gear supposedly levels up for you... so for example, a grey iron item might be dragon-bone latter in the game... or so i've heard... never tested it though.

[Satanic Hamster]

Does Bioware not have a moderator or something? Half of you are trolls who need to be banned...



Anywho, I'd just like the PC dlc released, or at least have the storefront updated to say that it's not out.
