This annoyed me to no end too. I thought my game was bugged when I ended up completely naked and Weaponless in Awakening.



It really makes Bioware look like Lazy twits when on Day 1 theres a Fan made patch to fix what they couldnt be bothered fixing.

Well, it won't annoy me because I have no intention of purchasing the expansion until the issue is fixed.

Bioware has been making games for this genre for a long time, long enough certainly to be aware that this sort of screw-up really alienates players.  I've read somewhere that it was 'low priority' for them.  That's just crapola.  It was probably just in the too hard basket for whoever was responsible for it.  Sack the 'twit' I sez and give his/her job to the fan who had a fix out within hours...

And if it truly *was* 'low priority' then sack whoever made that descision because s/he hasn't got a PR clue...

My character is wearing the Helm of Honnleath that you get during the quest to retrieve Shale, and it has transferred over into Awakenings without a problem.  Is that helm an exception, or could it possibly be related to the fact that I was using a no-helmets-showing mod?  Items that I was wearing or that were in my inventory that were from mods were all transferred without a problem.  If that was so easy to do, then how can it be so difficult for Bioware to transfer items from their own content?  Of course, I am new to game mechanics and not very knowledgeable about such things.

Some of the Mod Items and skill that I have transferred and others did not, it seems like a roll of the dice on it. There is a unofficial mod patch that makes the DLC work. You can get it here:

hm I got the Stone Golem items transferred over, but not the Starfang of course, and I lost also all the items I had at Warden's Keep... I wish the Power of Blood spells actually worked too. The animation plays for them, but the spells just won't work and the name is not recognized in the spell tree. Eh. :|

[MutantSpleen]

Yeah Stone Prisoner and Return to Ostagar both transfer. Only Warden's Keep does not. Wow some people need to calm down, having seizures over a few items that become obsolete very quickly.

[motoko2000]

agreed, and if you do choose to create a new character (instead of transferring over an old one) you get a pretty nifty armor set and weapons that adequately compensate whatever you had on your previous toon.



however transferring an old toon and finding yourself weapon-and-armor-less is kinda miss on Bioware's part Should've had the armor and weapons that you get on the new toon in the inventory

I think that's the daft part. It would have been one thing having a script which loaded up a toon with an 'equivalent' set of gear taken form the base installation gear set...

but just having the player load up in his underpants.... it's just absurd.

It is pretty silly that they didn't do this. It is not, however, a game-breaker for me. It wouldn't make me even think twice about whether or not I wanted to buy Awakening.

Matter of integrity for me. I *paid* for that DLC - doesn't matter that it wasn't much money - and I want it.



Being item-stripped per se doesn't bother me - heck, I did that to players myself in a NwN module - but it needs to be for a very, very good reason. In my case it was for a level playing field for combat, and although I supplied players immediately with appropriate (and cool gear) lots of folks really didn't like it. If there was money involved, some sort of dev/player 'contract' of any kind, I would never have done such a thing. It would be immoral.



I don't care in this case that replacement items are available quickly. It isn't the point. Just give me the stuff that I paid for in good faith...

sounds like DLC doesnt work only because they didnt code for it, not for any gameplay reasons.

Yep.  There's a release day fix made by a community member.  And that's what really gets my goat.  Bioware, of all game-making companies, should *know* how much this sort of crap will alienate players.  I read somewhere that fixing this issue was doable but 'low priority'.  Wtf...  

I've been a loyal fan of Bioware for a long time.  But obviously they are no longer who they were.  Someone alien is obviously pulling the strings there now, making these stupid decisions. 

[teh_ajay]

Yeah this is somewhat poor form.

Uggh! My imported  character is freaking naked! I could live with not having the kickass armor (I suppose) if I was given ANY freaking armor to wear! But no, I'm given a bra and panties in which to fight darkspawn! Why doesn't my freaking character just lie on the ground and let them take turns at her, FGS! This is ridiculous. /whining

I too suffer the same problem and couldnt have communicated my frustration better!!!!!!

Used the Wardens Keep and Stone Prisoner files and was pleasantly suprised they worked.

Most my other mods worked as well (Vibrant eyes, Grey Runic Warden Armor, Forgotten sword, Realistic look/Natural Bodies, Shady dealings, etc.)

Have just began playing, hopefully I don't hit any brick walls due to it.(mod)

[astrallite]

Yeah stop crying after all Bioware is flawless.

I wish we had those mods. (on 360). Mostly because I don't know where to put a new computer...but I may just have to change forums for gaming soon.



that said...Cadesh stompers don't come over (they're from stone prisoner..shale's personal quest).



However, for the items that do...you can open a save from the game you want to import, (an after the game save...where you start and can only go to camp) and go to camp, which will also allow you to go to your chest in Warden's keep. You can strip items off anyone and sell anything and buy anything you want in the game (so I went back and got some other great boots for rogue, Duncan's sword and duncan's dagger, Aeducan's shield, and whatever else I wanted...and then saved. Then I restarted Awakenings and imported the same character again, and the one I had just saved after doing all the juggling came over, with the items I had retrieved.



A kind of workaround. You might not get starfang, but you can acquire the dlc items from the other ones and get other items your team members might have been wearing. So long as they're on you or in your inventory....



It's not perfect. But there are things about it I like, and it would sure be nice to see balanced discussions where people talk about the changes they made that were obviously inspired by our requests here on the forum, like being able to enchant armor with runes, and beefing up runecrafting in general.



What I do wish they had done, is make Awakenings seamlessly integrated into the Ferelden world, like Shivering Isles is with Cyrodil. You can go back and forth between them. Of course, you won't have access to Awakenings until after (because of the storyline) but after that, you are free to go back into Ferelden after a certain point.



I'm just dreaming now. I haven't played this enough to be emotional about how I feel about the entire expansion yet. Only about 3 or 4 hours since I restarted after resupplying my character to import.

I loved it when i loaded my dragon age character file he was naked and the best part it froze my system during the first auto save and now it corrupted all my origins work. WTF. I don't care I can't have all my dlc I was using legion armor and duncan's sword along with Maric's. Hell my guy lost all his hair to. I am only mad cause I was tring to get the level 30 achievement and I doubt that is possible with just awakening alone so that's why I'm pissed. I mean what the hell can I even take with me on my final character nothing on my character was dlc crap except for RtO.

Odd... this item came over for me... even all the fan mods worked (like someone said above) : hairstyles, eye colors, fan-made armor sets, etc.... Just Warden Keep (incl. Power of Blood spells, despite the icons showing in the spell tree with no name) and free DLC got lost in the transfer.

And I hope that when you turn 13, 14 or so you can realise how frankly idiotic you sound, and act with an appropriate level of shame.

Official DLC items do not carry over. Epic fail even a year later.

dlc doesn't transfer over? Oh dear... so that means no starfang, or Shale? But the stuff from RTO does? Will Cailan's armor transfer even though I had it equipped on Alistair? O_O
