Any particular reason to keep having items exclusive to the PC?

Because Alienware doesn't cater towards the consoles.

I mean besides the fact that the platform just can't sell so you are trying desperately to provide incentives that you think might make console gamers invest in a buggy and nearly unplayable version of the game?

Alienware or BioWare?

Regardless, thousands of PC players are enjoying their games, with apparently exclusive DLC, and it's not region restricted at all. A simple .dazip install for me and it popped up right there in my inventory.

I get that there is no shelf space for a platform that nearly nobody wants to play games on anymore but restricting content in the hopes that collectors will waste money on not only buying an extra copy of the game but to waste money on a bug ridden version is ridiculous.

And what makes you think this? Strawman much?

At this point the extra PC sales the extra items are likely to squeeze are minor to nonexistsnt in number but you are sure managing to dance on the nerves of the fans.

 And trample on yours, along with your fanatical notions of PC inferiority.

+10 approval. Good work sir. The people whining are quite tiring.

Thanks a lot w4rm0nger !! Your workaround worked ace. Calling myself now a happy Shield owner from Europe.

[RUDAL]

Big FAIL because of that regional crap!!! What about rest of us ?

[Drwhy]

Can someone put up a picture of the shield so I can decide whether its worth having alienware spam my email or not?

North america?

I like you Victor, and love Bioware,....but the RoW get shafted again? Makes me wonder how anything ever gets done/lives/survives outside of the might of the not good ol USA!

I willa ssume this is yet another example of how EA operates....not good, your upsetting a lot of the people who buy your product and keep you in business.

Granted, North America gets the majority of exclusives, but thats because North America spends the largest portion of money on their games.  Companies go where the money is, its very simple.

And EA/Bioware remedied this fact by making the Awakening pre-order (Pearl of the Anointed and Bregan's Bow) available only in Europe (Germany and UK), and ONLY for PC users.

So, yeah, us American Console users really ate it on that one.

Point being, non-US gamers can stop playing the victim now.

[greekmonkey95]

boo hoo its just a tier 7 shield.

[Lil-Vinny29]

Surely a mod on dragonagenexus will be made in the upcoming days for every PC users to have it

[Cancermeat]

And Moderators wonder why people get upset in these forums....

[rabbitchannel]

I live in the UK and I got it. Proxy power. LOL.

[7th_Phoenix]

Why Tier 7? Mm... don't know if I should but then again... it's free. :}

[Sensorie]

Bulwark of the True King

Pearl of the Anointed

Bregan's Bow



All three are available for free to all PC gamers as regular .dazip files, for both Origins and Awakening. To anyone interested, just read through the thread again until the find the relevant post.

If your going to do something for your fans...do it for all of them or none.

This, I agree with. but then again it's just one item. it's not like it's an added  quest. I don't know it's always pc vs console, or  360 vs ps3, or the world vs the united states. "ALL" of it just seems petty to me. Whether you played the game on console or pc it's an amazing game.

I'm still waiting for the very random encounter where I get Axameter...

Here's a better look at what the shield offers.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER KINDA

Bulwark of the True King
Kite Shield
Dragonbone (Tier 7)
Requires 38 Strength

Defense: 4.00
Fatigue: 4.16%
Missile Deflection: 7.50
Strength Modifier: 1.00

+5 Willpower
+3 Constitution
+3 Defense
+1 Armor

Absorbs Damage

That's it, not really a big deal except that it's free.
I replaced it shortly after getting it, well about 2 hrs game time.

[Azaron Nightblade]

Any idea what happens if you finish DA:Origins with the shield in your possession?

Do you keep the tier 5 version or does it upgrade to the tier 7 when you load the character into Awakening?

What's broken about it? I've yet to encounter a single issue.

Ignorance is bliss.

You get both versions as separate DLC.

Why they must insist on these regional restrictions? I wonder if I can just use a proxy.
