I had the same issue with the connor image.  this second time I played through it I clicked the edit button each time to make sure it was right and all the scenes triggered correctly. 

Oh, so there should be a choice button. Ok, so it does not appear for me. Good to know. :)

 

I've managed to see more on another world state and now i know how to make choices. Still, when I tried to do that, the animation stopped working.... :(

My human mage is showing up as an elven mage. On my tablet the ISS crashes at Orzammar.

Also, this is awesome.

the isswas really cool but i have a few comments about it the audio seemed to cut out a few times right before it transitioned to the next scen and the background music seemed a bit repetitive but those are minor gripes overall it was really good

It seems the mage turning into an elf is a persistent thing. Does it happen to warrior and rogue Wardens as well?

 

Edit: Also the smuggler/mercenary icons being switched

I just watch the complete story on Firefox (Addblockplus disabled, btw).  Animations were choppy, some catches in Voiceover, but otherwise very nice!

 

Only Noticible problems:

 

Problem #1: My Warden is Female Cousland.  Somehow she got Morrigan Pregnant for the Dark Ritual.  Checking after the show was finished, and the relevant slide was changed from Old God Baby with Alistair (chosen) to Old God baby with Warden (How'd they do that anyways?  Both are women).  I changed the slide back. And Locked it down.

 

Changing the Dark Ritual Slide forced Zevran's slides in Both Origins and DA2 to dead.  I changed the Zevran slides (it kept changing DA 2 slides) first in Origins, then in DA 2.  So far, nothing else seems to have changed.

 

Problem #2: Isabela didn't show up for me.  She returned the relic for me in-game.

 

Suggestion:  If Anders is romanced in DA 2, and Forgiven for blowing up the Chantry, It should state "Love Stayed the Champion's Hand" instead of the current.

 

Romances should also be stated within Varric's story.  Perhaps something along the lines of "During the Long Campaign (Origins) or During the many years (DA2) Hawke and So-and-so grew close and eventually fell in love".

 

More to come later.

So far, loving this!  I'll probably have more to say in a little bit but having too much fun playing... and shaking my head at the amount of script Varric's poor VA had to do and redo!  LOL  :D  :lol:

I don't have anything important to add since the bugs I encountered and reported have already been mentioned. I like the spoken narrative, though. It's a really nice feature and I think this may really help new players get into the story.

 

With the new decisions added, I think I'm getting to a point where I find my playthroughs appropriately represented. The "reset to default" bug appears to be a persistent problem though. Lately it was the Bone Pit dragon, now it's Flemeth's Grimoire that refuses to stay acquired.

So, just to clarify, is Varric supposed to say that 'The Hero participated in a ritual with Morrigan...' if the Warden was female and got Alistair to do it? Or is there just not dialogue for that instance, and it isn't a bug? 

 

Also, Meeran is showing up, despite Varric saying I sided with the smugglers.

I like that romance specific bit. It'd be a nice touch. I agree that it'd also be cool if the romances were mentioned.

 

So when importing into DAI, will the game listen to the tapestry first and foremost, or what Varric's says and the choices it picks during the narration? Because bugs in the ISS causing choices to change could cause importing problems and inconsistencies.

 

Edit: New update changed my male dalish elf to a female Cousland. After changing it shows him as a warrior, not a rogue (in the video).

I've noticed the same issues here and there that others have mentioned: notably, the first time I watched it was on my iPhone 5 using Safari, and while it played and streamed well, I didn't hear music at all. However, I attributed many of the issues I noticed to everyone logging on at the same time and will have to watch it again once the excitement settles down.

 

That being said I would like to throw my vote in for NOT including romances or companion details unless absolutely necessary. The narration doesn't include every single event for good reason: the narrative would take hours! As it is, it's already quite long and for a player that's new to the DA franchise, you don't want to bore them or get them confused by details in a game they never played. I found the current length just about right. It wove a cohesive narrative without dragging down the main plot in (ultimately) pointless details.

I think it is because the Warden (even if female) had to agree.

I saw a few people comment about the issue being Chrome-related, and sure enough, when I run the ISS in Firefox, it's playing through all the way. So yeah, definitely seems to be some Chrome issue for me. And now I totally see what people mean about the jarring transition between the two games. >.<

Yeah, though I'm thinking it's a bug now, because checking my world state, it actually has it set for Morrigan having a baby with the Warden somehow, and attempting to change it needs me to change things with Zevran's fate.  :blink:

Well, good things first:  I love the imagery!  The ISS is beautiful, and mixed with Varric's narration of events, it makes for a pretty enthralling experience, to hear your Warden's tale repeated back to you like a beloved or well-known legend.  However, I'm a little disappointed that after three times, I have not managed to get through the ISS without encountering a sound or story related bug :C

 

The first time I started up the ISS (using my default world state) I was able to get all the way to the anvil of the void arc (this was also the furthest I was able to get in the ISS out of my three attempts) before I started to experience issues.  First, Varric's narration ended, and I was left with a few images of the broken anvil set to the background music before my screen went black.  The music continued to play, so I kept the ISS playing for a few minutes before I realized Varric had not stopped narrating to up my suspense. :P

 

The second time I started the ISS (same world state) I only managed to get to the Redcliffe story arc before things started breaking.  First of all, a scenario where I'd chosen 'Connor lives' was switched to 'Connor possessed' (judging by the imaginary, anyway...), and secondly, Varric's narration stopped.  The music once again continued to play, however.

 

The third time I started, I got a little bit further than my second attempt, making it to the Urn of Sacred Ashes arc.  However, Varric's narration once again came to an abrupt end, and another story decision I made... SEEMED to have been changed?  My tapestry has an 'Untainted Urn' saved, but I was definitely shown an 'Tainted' urn in the ISS... however, it showed an Untainted urn shortly after... so maybe when the ISS has this breakdown, it just starts showing all possible options? D:

 

I don't think I'm going to be filling out any more bug reports today, just because my three failed attempts all seem to be the same issue?  and I don't want to spam you guys... :x

 

I'm going to keep trying to see if I can get through the ISS ONCE without issues.  Oh well, least I can say the background music is lovely. :3

 

Back with a small update on the issues I'd encountered... apparently the reason the ISS wasn't working right for me was because I had my world state LOCKED.  As soon as I unlocked it to make some story updates to my tapestry, I tried running the ISS again (forgetting to relock my world state) and wouldn't you know it... the entire thing played perfectly! :D

 

I do, however, feel as though the ISS should work regardless as to whether or not you have your world state locked... but I figured I'd fill out a report and post here just in case anyone else was running into the same issue. XD

 

edit: Should also specify that I've been using Chrome.

 

*edit: And I just checked my tapestry, after learning that some people had decisions changed after playing the ISS.  Just wanted to add that this is true for me as well.  I'm currently going over anything, but so far I've only noticed these two changes:

 

-Warden changed from 'Romanced Zevran' to 'Romanced Morrigan'

-Warden changed from 'No child with Morrigan' to 'had child with Morrigan'

Hello! Try logging in and out (dragonagekeep.com/logout) and make sure you've cleared your browser cache. Then you should be all good :)

 

Thank you! Clearing the cache worked!

 

My goodness it looks and sounds amazing! Great stuff!

 

One plot suggestion, say who Loghain is ("father-in-law to King Cailan" or something) when he's introduced at Ostagar -- otherwise it sounds like he's a grey warden.

 

In my "messed up" world I gave Connor to the demon, but the transition about "demon bargains" then sounds weird because it's not clear from the narration that the Warden sold Connor to her.

 

My female CE warden impregnated Morrigan, w00t!

 

I agree with others that the transition to DA2 is abrupt. I also had a sound glitch there where Varric's voice was muted for half a word.

 

Going back to press buttons and oooh...

[Bug] Narration stopped at different points (I restarted the ISS a couple of times). Music and slideshow continued. Sometimes slideshow doesn't continue. Varric's voice is choppy.

Is it just me, or are there choices missing for the Dark Ritual?

 

My current world state has a male Tabris who survived because Alistair did the Dark Ritual. Yet when I go to edit my choice during the ISS, the only options are: Warden killed the AD, Alistair killed the AD, DR was successful. And the third choice assumes the Warden did the DR.

Also, I just realized, my Warden was a female elf rogue, but it was showing her as a warrior in the ISS.

So I finally got all my Wardens to sync! Well, not the pictures but that's because of the maintenance.

No, a number of us are mentioning this. Female wardens are either being switched to a male player or switching that *she* did the dark ritual with morrigain (depending if the save is locked or not).   The story mode is assuming that the warden is male that does the dark ritual.

The ISS shows I did a elf mage warden even though it is a human mage warden. Also I have the mercenary/smuggler mix up glitch.

Mine said "The Hero" as well, but it didn't change my world state.  It still shows Alistair as having done the ritual.

 I'm getting some lag and stutter, seems to be much worse on Chrome than Opera, and the same problem with the human mage turning to elf mage.
 I agree that Varric's wording on Aveline being an old friend is iffy; it implies they knew each other before.
 (Also, I'm still holding out for Corrine Kempa narrating DAO. A man can dream...)
 But otherwise, it looks and sounds great. It's quite pleasing to just sit back and listen.

Overall, the story looks great. Is this the final version (minus the bugs) or will more plot points be added before release?

 

Some bugs I found:

  • Doesn't play all the way through in Chrome I tried it 3x and it quit in different locations each time. Right before it stops playing it seems to be confused regarding plot choice, since I see them all displayed consecutively, without narration. 
  • Played all the way through in Firefox on the first try, but was a bit choppy.
  • It sounds like I was supposed to see buttons come up during the story, I didn't in either Chrome or Firefox.
  • It played about half way through on my Kindle HDX, fairly smoothly, but I couldn't control the volume and it was pretty loud.
  • The DA2 prologue part showed Meeran (sp?) instead of Athenril (sp?), but correctly said that Hawke worked for the smugglers.
  • Unless this is some new form of blood magic, I don't think my female warden could have impregnated Morrigan.

Suggestions:

  • As a few others have mentioned, the transition from DAO to DA2 could use some work, though if more plot points are being added it would explain why it's so jarring right now.
  • A pause button and subtitles would be great.
  • Music was a bit too loud compared to the dialog.
  • Would be nice if there was a full screen option for the PC (I could see it in full screen on my Kindle)

It doesn't looks like playing the story changed any of my plot choices, but I have that world state locked, so that could have something to do with it. I'll try it with another world state and see how that goes.
