The default is just the simplest world state for new players.

 

It is problematic to reference a past character and also have to explain who they are/were to a new player.

Well, since I haven't got an origin account or internet in my 360, I really hope we get to import our saves, bugged or not.  

( I have learned to live with them, my overactive imagination takes care of the rest.)

My most important save has the cirkle free!!!

 

Please Bioware!!!

If you can post on these boards you have an Origin account for they merged all of their accounts into one system shortly after Origin was released.  There could be a way to import to your 360 for you don't have to be connected all the time for The Keep to work, just when you want to download your save to your console.  I know a friend of mine is just going to use their cellphone as an access point for their access to The Keep for they don't think the save would be too large.

 

They have no plans for a direct import even if they are able to get importing to work, I am pretty sure it would be importing to The Keep and using that to fill out the game since the saves could import conflicting information into the game.

The only problem I can see is if he only has access to wireless internet of some form since the 360 (at least not the 2 versions I used to have, I don't know if that has every changed) has no built in WiFi adapter. However there is usually a way to get connected if you really wanted to, he is posting here after all.

I connect with an adaptor I plug into the machine. It isn't overly expensive.

Been a while since I bought mine (it was about $100 then which is ridiculous), the branded one is still $60 which is not cheap.

but.. but.. i want god baby reference....

 

when i made a mage, i roleplayed him as a power hungry blood mage that only did the dark ritual so he could have hopes of one day finding morrigan and taking the power for himself.

Well, that's what the Keep is for. The default world state is aimed at people who have never played the previous games, or aren't interested in customising. It's assumed that they either don't know about the Old God Baby or won't care.

Sounds terrible!

 

I've ade choses in three games (origins, awakening, II) with about 10 different playthroughs in total, easily 400+ hours in total. How am I supposed to remember each choice my characters made? I only have a broad understanding of the kind of characters they are since I played them years ago. It was awesome to see consequences for choices you forgot about. We will lose this.... Rebuilding your character isnt a true import, youll creating a cheap reflection of the character. Ugh.

If you don't remember the decisions you made you will likely also not notice the difference. The Keep is the way forward because of bugged save files and because of the new consoles. Not to mention having to keep old save games wasn't an ideal situation for some either.

Yep.

 

And what proportion of players have ten playthroughs? Five percent? Fewer? There's only so much they can support, and the Keep is the best way to do save imports going forward, even if it has drawbacks.

That's why you need a spreadsheet! (It seemed crazy when I made it, but now I'm glad I did.)

 

If you still have the save files, most decisions will probably be recorded in your journal.

Given that I'm a very ... enthused ... fan and only have nine completed runs of Origins (two of which are do-overs, so only seven different Wardens) I can only imagine it's a tiny number. There are a few people on the forums who have played it fifteen or twenty times, but they're a minority of a minority.

I'd make a spreadsheet, if I could just remember all the choices...

 

I'm pretty sure I remember most of the choices in Origins, but, not so much for Dragon Age 2; I only played through 2 twice.

Yea actually it just depends but if you want different playthroughs the excel sheet helps. So you can go oh I don't want to see that twice or maybe this combination works better. It helped me so yea give it a whirl. At least until we all get in keep that is. :)

I've played through completely once.

 

I keep meaning to do another playthrough to use all the DLC from the ultimate edition.

Answering a different thread I thought: jot down the key choices - easy, but the list kept rolling, I regretted starting the reply after a while...

It was many more things that might matter than I thought it would be.

 

What this also means is that I'm only interested in one default world state not several.

There will be enough variations in DAi to be adding multiple DAO/DA2 layers as well

Sebastian always sides with you,the only difference is post-game if Anders was spared(even if killed later on Templars side) than Sebastian would leave your party.
The events in the DLC/s happen/ed in the sequel/s regardless if you have or don't have the DLC/s in your save.
