Humm, do you want to file a quick bug for us from the DAK so we can grab extra info about your set-up? We haven't done the "performance" pass yet and Brian is currently trying to isolate browsers/devices that are having issues so we can fix what's troubling most people.

 

Done and done. I look forward to being able to view it in its entirety! :)

 

And to second some of the above comments, it might be nice to be able to have the ISS start at which ever game you are currently viewing in the tapestry.

 

For example, if you've just spent some time adjusting your DA2 tiles, you might want to just hear how that part of the story plays out.

 

...and if that dragon stays dead. Please tell me there's a line in there about the immortal dragon at the bone pit.

 

edit to add: I can also confirm that none of my world states are locked, so for my issues at least, a locked world state isn't the issue.

Could watch it without problem! Need further testing, but this is really awesome.

 

I'm gonna test it more in depth this weekend to provide a full feedback.

I am unable to load into the tapestry at all.  I tried to push the ISS button and a banner popped up saying "This will be implemented very soon!" (something to that effect), so I logged out to get the update, and now it is sitting on the tapestry background, and I am unable to navigate anywhere from there.

 

I cleared cache on computer, and waited for quite some time (unsure of how long tapestry would take to load), but it doesn't actually load.

 

I get the background with the globe button on the right, and the tapestry button on the left, but neither are pressable.  I am unable to submit feedback, because the feedback button does not load.  I am currently on a Samsung Chromebook, running Chrome.  (I don't know how to check the specs of this thing).

 

(I'm not sure any additional information that may be required.)

I also found it a little odd that Isabela's role with the qunari weren't mentioned. Or any reference to the Tome of Koslun.

The ISS is really beautiful. And Briam Bloom's voice is amazing as always.

 

But during the Anvil of The Void quest the narration tells me that I have preserved the anvil, when I convinced Branka to destroy it.

Did a bug report, apparently if you don't recruit Zevran it requires Logain to kill the arch demon and the warden to live happily ever after

No issues with choices changing it seems if the world state is locked.  If it's unlocked though it appears to be hit or miss.

 

Also just wanted to say I really enjoy the music for DA2, it's quite lovely! Agreed with all other suggestions for some sort of bridge between DAO & DA2, it's a bit jarring. Having issues as others are with Varric randomly cutting out.

So my save was locked and it stalled and just played the music with nothing happening. I was stuck at the Orzamaar part. 

I unlocked it and it managed to play all the way to DA2. Not sure if that causes the ISS to stall or freeze but it worked for me.

 

It happens at random points for me. Though i keep switching to a different world state each time i have to reload.

Sounds like you're not seeing the update yet... Could you try logging in/logging out (dragonagekeep.com/logout), then make sure to reset cookies/clear cache or use private browsing (incognito mode)?

So, the ISS should have came with tissues.  The DA 2 section was really emotional!  Having it all narrated out really hits hard on how badly things go for Hawke.  He/she has a really rough time of it!  Leandra dying in particular brought on some tears.  As it does everytime I play the game pretty much.  :crying:

 

Over all I had some issues getting it to play at first, I made it all the way to the Elves storyline in DA:0 then the audio shut out and the video kept playing, but then the video stopped at the start of the Dwarves storyline.  However, on my second attempt it did the same...but eventually it started playing back at the point the audio dropped and worked fine all the way through. 

 

Like some others have said there are some Audio hiccups, but i think that was listed as a probability.  :)   Over all I'm very pleased with what we have in this new toy.

I cleared cache/cookies and logged out, and it is trying it's best to not update.  I will use incognito mode, and let you know how it goes!  (I always forget about that mode for some reason)

 

Edit so as not to double post:  Incognito mode forced the upddate

I love the ISS!!  I missed the mentions to love interests, though - I mean, maybe Anders and Hawke being in a relationship cooould have had something to do with the Champion approving his actions? And I agree that the transition between Origins and 2 is a little sudden - if it had included something about Awakening, mentioning Anders and Justice, it would have been a little smoother I think.

 

But playing it changed almost all my choices!! So far it has:

  • erased my romance choices - which makes me hope that it is relevant in the ISS, but not implemented yet;
  • when i selected Alistair again, changed my custom female Surana status to deceased, said that alistair had died killing the archdemon, somehow still reigns with Anora, and that Surana had a human baby with Morrigan.
  • Corrected these, ran the ISS again, now she's locked in a romance with Morrigan and it prompts me to choose a default Surana over my custom when I try to change back.
  • affected most small choices;

besides that, there's the images issues and hiccups in the audio and animation. I did get the impression that the tiles for Origins are a little less detailed and more generic, and they also run slower and, like with morrigan and flemeth, they show up a while before the narration mentions them - are there plans to add more images?

 

And it was jarring to not hear Varric talking about himself, or his friendship/rivalry with Hawke.

Is there a way to play only sections of the ISS? I can't get past my Redcliffe bug (the ISS playing all the Connor choices w/o narration and going blank afterwards) and would love to see the rest. :)

My choices were accurate when watching the ISS, but as soon as it stopped I got a bunch of prompts to change about 6 world states, including my Warden (it wanted me to change from my imported Warden to the default version of her, a casteless dwarf rogue and kept on trying to switch me over to Natia for no reason). It tried to change relationship status, whether or not the OBG was conceived, who killed the archdemon, who was made ruler... So yeah, I was a bit shocked to see all these changes being proposed after the ISS played, it was a bit overwhelming. I had to go back and manually change things back myself and try to figure out what it was that set that chain of changes off. It was very confusing, honestly, but I managed to fix the choices in the Keep. I don't want to try watching the ISS again though if it's going to keep changing my choices.

Really cool from what I've been able to see of it so far.  However, a few things I've noticed:

 

First time I ran it, it first said I saved Redcliffe, then it stopped itself, played the scene over again and said that I didn't save Redcliffe.  And then it crashed on me.

 

I noticed I had the worldstate "locked", so I unlocked it and tried again.  It got to the decision regarding Connor, when the narration stopped.  The slideshow continued, however; and just kept cycling through the different outcomes for that scene.  (It first showed the Demon locked in chains, then it showed Connor locked in chains, then it showed Connor dead)

 

 

I'll try a different worldstate though and see if I can make it any further.  :)

I loved the new feature!

Having said that, I noticed most issues reported here. For some reason there are swaps of images (mage origin, from human to elf and the opposite, the mercenaries/smugglers  in DA2 ect). Luckily for me it played the whole thing so I was fairly happy.

 

I would have liked a mention of the romances but since not everyone plays that part of the game I can understand why it was not included. What I thought was important though was the Architect part and quite possibly the Legacy DLC.

 

Also, for the people tha do not see the choice button, you should make sure your world state is not locked.

Wow, how funny, I was finally able to make it through the whole ISS without it crashing, and was coming back here to comment on how emotional the DA2 part made me :lol: Agree 100%, it's amazingly well done, and I also had tears in my eyes during the Leandra bit.

Hey gents (and ladies).

 

I just want to ask, is that me, or is the jump between DA:O and DA2 section of the ISS somewhat... quick?

I felt as if DA:O didn't really finish the sentence proper (ie, the audio file was cut off) and DA2 started.

Also, DA2 felt a little less... fancifully told? Maybe Varric was tired by then.

No, the transition is abrupt unfortunately

Found another "bug": playing the ISS changed my decision "Morrigan has a baby with Alistair" to "baby with warden". But my warden was female ...  :wacko: 

So I changed back to "baby with Alistair" and I was forced to change Zevran topics in DA2 ... hmmm ...?

The ISS is really awesome! Congrats! :)

I had similar bugs to those some people mentioned above.

Also, it would be nice to see female Hawke at the end of the narration of DA2, not only male Hawke.

edit:  Second run

 

It seemed to jump forward a bit at the beginning, from general stuff about the archdemon to talking about the warden's background.

 

I played it from the list of world states on the right of the screen without having opened the relevant world state.  No changes I made appeared to have any effect.

 

It still seemed to show Athenril's portrait even though I tried to side with the Mercenaries

I loved it, especially the simple coloring! I noticed a few weird things though:

 

- In the Origins section, the Landsmeet part shows Alistair killing Loghain with a crown on his head, even though I had made Anora a sole ruler.

- Even though you play as a female Warden, it looks like you banged Morrigan yourself. Unless magical lesbian pregnancy is possible then I think that's a small biological problem.

- At the end of the DA2 part the video shows a silhouette of a male Hawke instead of a female Hawke.

 

Even though I'm not a native English speaker I had no problems with understanding Varric's speech. Subtitles would be nice however, or at least they wouldn't do any harm.

 

Also the ISS didn't mention anything about Merrill or Fenris? I don't know if that's intentional but it felt weird that they weren't even mentioned.

 

Otherwise, great work. 

 

Edit: For some unknown reason, after I watched the ISS my tapestry is now all messed up. My choices have changed without my approval.

Update:  Just tried another worldstate - I got to the Urn of Sacred Ashes; and then the narration stopped, slideshow continued, and showed both outcomes.  The slideshow then went on, but the narration didn't come back.

 

For the record - I chose to defile it.

 

In my previous state I chose to let the demon have Connor, so I'm starting to get the impression that it's my knack for making "evil" decisions which is breaking the ISS on my end.  XD
