I, like many others, lost much of my hard earned gear due to the glitch in the silverite mines (not to mention the inability to re-enter and finish side quests which seems more to be a design decision (????)).  Just wondering if there will be a patch to address the missing gear as for myself, I would rather wait for a patch than restart.  There are a ton of new games out right now which can have my attention while waiting for a patch instead of playing the same stuff again and again, just me, but I don't like laying out my hard earned money for something that's broken.  Some bugs will get through on any game, but not only is this a big issue affecting a lot of people, it's personally very aggravating to me (just how I feel).  And if there will not be a patch I'd rather know so that I can just turn it in to Gamestop while I can get something for it.

Thanks.

Honestly, I wouldn't hold my breath for a patch, we don't even have one for the original game yet sadly. It's really hard to say because they don't keep us updated on any of the patches or bug fixes being worked on.

This last week we have been glued to the forums to see what bugs are showing since the release. I can say that are certainly looking at issues that are being reported and doing what we can to triage them. Keep reporting issues folks, we want to keep this game all types of awesome.

The truth is, you may never see a patch to fix all the issues you're having for months, for example dexterity and corrupt save has not seen a patch for 360 in 4 months.

I am both appalled and dissapointed by the rushed feel of this expansion pack (especially considering the price paid). Too have a large majority of the new ingame items/abilities not working/displaying properly is not acceptable.



The most dissapointing thing is the lack of timescale given by the developers to deal with the problems therein. Can we expect a patch in the next few days or months?

I am disappointed to say the least. As a gaming community (developers, producers, players), are we really back to the days of "release now, patch later" philosophy?

Gotta agree with this, I expect more from a respected company like bioware. These days all I need to buy a game is a bioware logo on the side, because I know it will be of high quality.

In the company's defense, there's a LOT of stuff to test in a multi-path sort of game like this, so it's pretty obvious there would be a lot of bugs. Always seems this way with large RPG games, too many variables.

This.But I digress.
Regarding an Awakening patch for PC users,would XBOX360 users such as myself be able to have our game issues resolved? Or is that just wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking to be honest.

I see. Will this "new" development extend to DA:O or can we expect it to never be patched?

I am incredibly disappointed in Bioware. I don't expect such low standards from any manufacturer and have higher standards for this particular developer. I guess I shouldn't, after all they think that "emotionally engaging" story equals bug-ridden failure.

That is also my question, because I am waiting for the original game to be fixed before I even consider buying the expansion. I mean the dex bug already has a fix and was released in the 1.02 patch that pc users got three months ago, so that would be a good start. A few small fixes like that here and there instead of a big patch would go a long way to ease concerns I think.

In my dog's defense, he is an animal and it's pretty obvious that sometimes they might poop on things.  Image IPB.  I agree, there are, very likely, more inherent bugs with RPGs due to their complexity, which requires a lot of testing/evaluation.  When so many of the same problems exist for so many people across multiple platforms, that screams one thing to me:  inadequate testing.

If others are fine with these issues, live and let live.  I'm not.  I bought a product under good faith, believing that it performed as implied.  It didn't come with any warnings on the label that "some quests might not function correctly" or "The Gaming General has determined that the Silverite Mine might cause some players to lose equipment".  Image IPB

As a gamer, when playing, I expect the best of myself, of my abilities, I'm always pushing.  I think all gamers do.  And I expect the same of the companies I buy my games from.

Sadly, that's a pretty damn accurate assessment of the current situation. I really wish it wasn't.

The only constructive thing I could add would be for us as customers to keep reporting the issue via the official tech support site. It might seem like banging your head against a wall, but multiple complaints doesn't look good for anyone in Bioware.

I played through DA:O three times but at the moment, the Awakenings bugs are making me want to just call it a day.
