Dan Tudge (director of DA:O):

"I don’t want to bash the big publishers, but often, when you get a big publisher in the mix there, often their goals don’t necessarily match with what the consumer or the developer wants. By being close to the metal, so to speak, we’re able to work with Wizards and make decisions that are really good for the players."
 

Im sure he is not talking about his experience with Bioware and EA!

 ... and thus did the brave Jedi set forth into the unknown that they might bring word back to The Order of what marvels and dangers lay ahead.

Hmm, I applied for the beta but haven't gotten anything. Does that mean I wasn't selected?

I'll be the first to blab. 

 

The four gangly teenagers with their smug attitudes and the old-timer who used to fly a spice freighter back in the day all sat down at a table looking at a gaming mouse. 

 

The four teenagers each sat there looking unimpressed with the gaming mouse. 

 

"It has four buttons... controllers have eight," said the 16 year-old whose facial hair hadn't come in all the way around his face. "Why are the rebels wanting this?" This gangly teenager we'll call Contempt.

 

"Because it just makes sense," said the 43 year-old spice captain. "You know... I can target things a hell of lot faster than your two thumbs can on a joystick. I will bury you and your three buddies before you lock on to me with that boomerang thingy you have there."

 

"Really? And why do I care," said Indifferent. This gangly teenager has gothic look that he will no doubt regret having in a decade when he's back to living in Mommy or Daddy's basement. "I mean... this game won Game of the Year." The last statement said with a hint of sarcasm.

 

"You should care," said Old Spice Captain. "There are veterans of the Empire who have lost hands, their are special needs, older people with medical issues that can't do much, but put a Bioware RPG in their hand, and I mean singular, and something beautiful and very Jedi occurs."

 

"WHAT?!? Who gives a crap... stop with your whiney, feel sorry for me crap," said Insensitive. The third of the gangly teenagers who wikis everything but reads nothing to completion. "We won Game of the Year." The last statement sounded a bit proud.

 

"I guess you don't get it," said the old guy who is affectionately (?) called Grandpa by the other four. "Point-to-click and steering with a mouse makes it so much less tedious. Go ahead... give it a try..."

 

"No," said Indignant. "Unless I am getting some serious credits into my account from the Empire.. you can all go straight to the airlock. I'll be by the release mechanism." Indignant whose Full-Sail University student loans are gouging the hell out him since graduating, has a bitter attitude. The Empire has kind of put buzz-kill to the old Jedi way of thinking he heard about, but has yet to see.

 

"Well, if anything... let's start with attaching controls to these two extra buttons..." said Grandpa.

 

Just above them in the darkened room, atop a scaffolding, the four Jedis are watching the beta-fixers get to work. They stay in perfect silence so as not to alert or scare the five employees of the Empire.

 

Meanwhile, on a Rebel Ship called Isla Negra, a task force of highly trained special operation commandos prepare for the boarding and capture of the Empire ship called the Apathy.

 

"Our latest reports suggest that taking the Apathy is not prudent at this time unless there is one among us who can use joysticks," said Ashen Nedra, an old-school Jedi. 

 

Not one of the fifty or so commandos would raise their hand. None.

 

"Well, it looks like we just wait a while then," said Bethgael, an old-school Jedi herself. 

 

"I'm following what's going on, but does anyone get the feeling we're being watched," asked Hexoduen. Hexoduen, a commando that is known for being absolutely positive even when the star in front of her has just nova'd. She is that confident. Maker praise her.

 

The question posed a serious feeling of foreboding.

 

"You know what?" said Glosoli, a bounty hunter known for silent takedowns. "I could give a crap."

If you cannot download the Beta version of the game via Origin and, you do not have access to the beta forums here but, you did complete the sign up, it's likely that they are just now granting the entitlement to those that were not a part of Patch 5 Beta. Wait today and keep checking. I'd say that if you don;'t get in by tomorrow, then for whatever reason you didn't make it.

I also had to restart Origin for it to kick in for me to get BETA Patch 5.

I expected changes. After 4 months of deafening silence and empty promises, I expected to see changes. Some changes at least.

I've seen none. 

I installed beta (or whatever is that) patch, got into beta 6 (or whatever they call it now) and I've seen nothing... 

What was the point of it again?

Check your Origin client and update the BETA version you have. If you don't have it, close down your Origin client and restart it. I actually had to reinstall it to get the patch 5 Beta version to appear.

I do not play many other games other than cRPG's, but the DA-UI is far better for me than Vanilla Skyrim. And the latter UI was also playable; have 700+ hrs on it before replacing it with the SkyUI mod. Perhaps it is not optimal, but is hardly the stereotype many seem to be making here. IMO, of course.

 

"Better than vanilla skyrim" doesn't mean good either, in fact it would be diffucult to make something worse.

Sorry lol...Sarcasim! And it was a rhetorical question haha. Explanations and patch notes should be a given but with EA and Bioware all we get is well.....this crap haha.

Both still are viable UI's for their respective games, as evidenced by time in game, and those not having access to mods and DLC. Hopefully a future mod or patch will aid those in DAI

 "Scratchy-nuts-smokey-greeny-goo-sitting-in-confusion" said Cyan Griffon the Hutt. (Translation: The Empire is working on the controls of the Apathy using a gaming mouse.)

 

"Yeah? Well... good luck to them. It needs more than just controls," said bounty hunter Raoni Luna. Luna, who specializes in bounties that need only proof of death, "But... I still hope the rebels can get their credits worth from that ship." By the way, Luna's calling card is a stiletto heel kick that changes from body part to body part depending on the target. This is not someone you want to ****** off... ever. 

 

"Hahahahaha... I agree," said the very wary Hutt. (Translation: None needed)

I'm feeling like a dark intoxicated (what sort of method of releasing pressure do they use in Star Wars?)  Jedi/Sith tonight, Cyan. Angry, sad, and drunk.

 

Is there any poster I could talk, you know, TALK to?

Meanwhile, a ragged Lyceum class freighter, is racing through an Empire-laden magnetic mine field near the Apathy. 

 

Famed fighter pilot Windev is adeptly moving the ship through the minefield using a very powerful gaming mouse. His point-to-click movements and the ability to do waypoints makes it a no-brainer to fly through the minefield. No wonder he's famous! 

 

Inside the freighter are gaming keyboards that will be put in place of the joysticks on the Apathy. 

 

"I can't believe how well you fly this thing," said co-pilot Dubya. "about... as good as me... maybe... nah. I can do better."

 

"Then why aren't you flying," asked Windev. 

 

"Well... you see I've got this thing called a COMPUTER. It runs a hell of a lot of games. On this... COMPUTER... I have this game called the Witcher. And on this... COMPUTER... I am playing Witcher. Which by the way runs on Bioware's Aurora engine. The irony of it all..."

There's basically no chance for a mod, and given Bioware's ability to patch, there's no chance for a patch either. All we can do is hope they'll manage to fix the control and the tac cam....
