I just got to the Camp, and installed Blood Dragon Armor and The Stone Prisoner from the codes given within the game packaging. I see them as 100% downloaded, but I check my inventory and there is no Blood Dragon Armor?

It says to follow the directions in the journal, but there are no directions...

I got mine right away even though I couldn't equip it yet (not enough Strength).

I'm at the mage tower now. While the game is fun, it is super difficult in some places.

I wonder if I should have played on Easy instead of Normal for my 1st play through? Especially since I'm not used to games like this. What other games like this are there out there? I think I played some other games similar a long time ago - I think it was Baldur's Gate. Anything else more recent though?

Was it within your inventory? Odd, maybe i have to restart the game? Do you get an armor for each brand new character you create?

Where do I finde him after going back to the circle and only greigor is there? I don't remmeber what happened but it seemed like he got killed even though I said I wanted to save the mages.

He's right by the entrance. Sounds like he died. Did you use the Litanny of Adrala every time Wynne told you to in the battle?


Tiamat, you did restart, and check to make sure the DLC is activated, right? You might need to go into the DLC menu and make sure the active box is checked.

I dont know anything about a DLC. I checked the ingame options, i didnt see anything of the sort??

If by DLC you mean Downloadable Content, there are no check boxes...
 
pontifex said:
On the main menu, click downloadable content
Click to expand...

Yup, and under Download Progress, it lists both Blood Dragon Armor and The Stone Preisoner at 100% downloaded. There are no checkboxes.

In teh Installed Content, there is nothing there, and no check boxes...

wait, so you still see it under download progress? it didn't finish installing then for some reason. it should go away from the download progress section once it is finished downloading. at least it did on my copy.

Yeah, it is just stuck at 100% in the Download progress tab.

I haven't been able to find anything about this online yet...

Gonna read through this tomorrow: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/58/index/81613/1

I went into the "configure" and "clear download cache" Fixed teh problem woot!!!!

I don't believe Warden's Keep came with the game? Is that only a "director's cut super duper collectors edition" freebie?

I only used it once, thought it was a one-time effect.

Everytime you see a stack of rings around a person, you have to use it to counter the demon or else he will be turned into an abomination.

I'd replay the game right now if it weren't for the fact that I hate that Fade level which takes hours.
 
Tiamat said:
Darn, my game probably glitched then, ill start over :/

I just started a new game, got through the little Harrowing, and still dont' have it in my inventory 🙁

You shouldn't have to start over. I think if you disable the DLC, load your game, exit and re-enable the DLC, it should show up (a fix along these lines was mentioned on the Bioware forums a while back).

Nah, i fixed it. I had to clear my download cache. The problem was I didnt have the option to enable/disable the DLC. It was stuck at 100% downloaded and never installed in the first place...

Ya, there is a tedium that sets in on replays. It's nice to try fresh things but facing 90% repeating the same things each play isn't so appealing, but you do like to go back and do things better as you learn more.

You can change the difficulty on the fly which is something that I really like about the game. On easy, there's not much of a challenge even for me (new to this type of game) when there are lesser amounts of enemies engaging me. So I'll use "Easy" for the larger battles and "Normal" for the smaller ones.
 
anyone know how to increase the quality of the screenshots you take?

I have my graphic settings to all highest, AA...etc. beautiful game, but the screenshots quality look compressed, like when you save a jpeg at 60-70% quality. These are the ones that you find in the my document>bioware>DA>Screenshots folder.

Yes, the fade is tedious beyond belief. I think my favorite zone has to be Orzammar and the Deep Roads quest.
 
OK, got the game... Love the story.......... Playing on normal.... Is the AI as bad as it seems? Like I said... LOVE the story... very engaing... twists turns betrayal....

But I can peek around a corner..... Fire an arrow at one baddie out of 8.....
And only ONE rushes... Wash Rinse Repeat...

Now, to try and keep it real... I went in like Clint Eastwood (back in the day)

I get OWNED every time...

Is there a happy medium coming? Or do I need to go to advanced?

I actually liked that side adventure. Can you get any more stealthy than a mouse using stealth going from room to room? 😀 Stompin' around as a golem and watching yourself pull back your fist to smash the bad guys with that "super punch."
 
I liked that portion a bunch too. Lots of extra abilities, plus it's got permanent stat boosts coming out the wazoo.

Though, part of it may be because I was a mage, which meant I still had crowd control.
 
The problem with the Fade level is all the back-tracking you have to do to get the stat bonuses. Sure, you don't HAVE to go back but c'mon... you know you want those bonuses.
