My 360 Wardens never showed up in the Keep for some reason. I only had access to my PC ones.

Yea... My PC Wardens show up. though I've only made about 4 of them on the PC.

I'm glad my Hawkes show up, not that I usually change her appearance, its the name that matters for her.

Hmm maybe I'm fortunate only to have used the PC. All my wardens and Hawkes are present and correct.

You know... I was expecting to spend hours on the keep.... I was done with two world states in about a half hour or so. :wacko:

After I went through some hoops to get my characters to upload like turning off console commands, I've never had trouble syncing characters.

I did say that it wouldn't slow people down as much as they thought...

Yeah, it's not slow or anything. It's actually pretty intuitive and easy to use. If you have a tablet, it works great there as well.

I just loaded up the default characters rather than go through data sync/sorting through all the names. AFAIK there's no real benefit to syncing data anyway except for the purposes of making the Hero class/gender/race selection faster and maybe giving you some stats that are listed in-game (no choices or characteristics are copied over from sync). Beyond that, the Tapestry section gives you control over everything anyway.


I'm using the defaults. Don't see a difference besides first name.

Most of my 'Wardens' are avatar uploads anyway.

I do have a few modded dalish mages that uploaded but are bugged xd

My former and current Origins game is modded like hell, so it'd be a nightmare for me to have to import it alongside 20+ gigs of custom content.

I just like knowing the right name and portrait is in there, is all. No real reason beyond that. :S

Can someone try this for me:

 

Wynne died during Broken Circle

Irving lived

Helped Mages

 

I swear, I agreed with Morrigan ONCE, and suddenly four mages wanted to off Kallian, right there on the spot!

I don't think I'll attempt to sync up my PS3 characters to the Keep, it's complicated and headache inducing, ain't nobody got time fo' dat. So I'll just recreate em again in the Keep.

omfg you had a history discussion and the actual history teacher in the thread wasn't there

because she had a class discussion group to run

on history

What better is there to do lol
 
(That said, I'm currently in school, ugh. British history sounds a lot easier than it is.)
Keeping an eye on the forums, though.

  

It's gotta be more interesting than US history. From fifth grade through high school we were only ever taught something like the 1850s through WWII. We also were only ever taught "World History" once and even then it pretty much just focused on the US(somehow). At least the British did stuff.

 

Ugh I've heard US history since I was in 3rd or 4th grade, give me world history any day. History was actually my original major when I started high school before I changed it to Psychology.


Aw, come on, guys!

I'll give you that repetition makes something insanely boring. For example, if I never read another thing about the Second World War for the rest of my life, I'll be happy. (I'm not going to be happy.) But there's something for everybody in the history of every country, I guarantee it.

Problem is that when you teach a class it's really kind of impossible to try to find something that each individual person is interested in. Sometimes there's a narrative you have to focus on, sometimes there's not much time, sometimes there's too many students...it's always something. But when you can get somebody really, truly interested in one thing about a given historical topic, everything else just becomes that much more bearable. 
 

I think it might be the way it is taught. In my early schooling most of my Australian history was tedious stories about the pre-federation era and numerous accounts of one particular military catastrophe in the First World War, which is supposed to form the foundation of culture or something. Later on I learnt things which actually made coherent and interesting stories, and were genuinely important. Foreign history I've learnt has always been taught like the later.

 
That's another thing, too. History in primary and secondary schools is usually standardized narrative pablum designed for whatever patriotic/exculpatory/guilt-trip thing that the state wants kids to focus on. There's not a whole lot of emphasis on why the kids should care.
  

Ooh history convo awesome, love history, fav subject in school next to art. Continued to study it happily in my college years, Irish and European, good times! :D
 
I love US history myself, in fact The Civil War Era was my favourite era of American history, fascinating to learn about it, it ties into my interest in Native American culture/history also. Did my thesis on how they were represented in film/media from the silent era to present time. Really interesting, enjoyed writing it alot.

 
are you in a relationship right now

It's definitely easier to just use the defaults, as it doesn't really make any difference besides a few extra steps.

 

Syncing still has issues that I doubt will be resolved even by the final launch.

Sooo, you're a history teacher then.

 

I might actually become one myself, if my nerves are truly made of steel. My nerves AND my balls.

 

My desired specialization is the very Second World War that you hate, though :P

It has been my experience that this actually extends to some other subjects besides history as well. Many classes taught at the primary and secondary levels lack that sense of significance that you feel when take them at the university level. I never cared one bit for high school for pretty much the same reason. Everything I know, I learned in college, both through self-study and classes/courses. (Although I never took any history in college, I was interested enough to spend $200+ on documentaries involving WWII, to which I owe most of my knowledge on the subject.)

Despite being an excellent teacher and of Polish extraction, my History teacher barely touched on the Eastern Front when covering World War II. It just wasn't part of the curriculum, so I never found out about the horrors of that campaign until long afterwards...

The term catfight just gained a whooooole new meaning.

Similar here. I have plenty books/documentaries on DVD, but I read and watched most even before the topic became relevant in elementary. It's kind of the reason I'm studying history on college now.
