Toolset freezes when compiling script

utility_h has a lot of includes and will slow down compile time significantly - to see the progress, right click on the script (either in the palette or the tab for the script editor) and select Export without dependent resources.

Toolset freezes when compiling script

It's not a problem of the contents of the script, as that compiles fine for me. Have you changed any of the include files? Or closed the toolset and tried compiling again?

HAHA DEXTERITY STILL BROKEN IN AWAKENING.

Hi,

So yes, dex is still broken and yes, we are working on it. As soon as we have a fix, believe me, we will be sending it out. I know that your patience has been tested already and people want to go out there and throw down some mad darkspawn killing skills with their dex builds. Please just bare with us and we will get your rouges and such working with style.

question about blackmarsh

Sorry my friend, once you leave the Fade in the Blackmarsh you can only go back through previous save games.

FIX: Can't load Xbox 360 saves that use DLC when DA servers unavailable

Yeah, this is a bug issue and we are certainly working on it. Thankfully we have some hardcore community members (looking at you switzki) who put up some fantastic steps as a work around at the beginning of this thread. Hopefully we will get this fixed but until the: switzki, my cudos.

Dragon Age comic Issue #1 now available on iTunes and PSP

The first issue of Dragon Age the comic from BioWare and IDW Publishing is now available on iTues and the PSP.

On iTunes you can get it here: http://itunes.com/apps/idwpublishing/dragonage1

For the PSP you can get it here: http://us.playstationcomics.com/main/digital-comics/issue-detail.html?issue=Dragon+Age+%231_1275-US-EN

Dragon Age (the comic) is build directly from the story and lore created by BioWare, but is created by an amazing team of artists and writers from IDW. The comic is written by acclaimed author Orson Scott Card (author of the Ender Saga amongst much more) and Aaron Johnson with interior art by Mark Robinson and cover art by renowned artist Humberto Ramos. The comic will take video game fans into a whole new adventure in the Dragon Age world.

In a time lost to history, a war ravaged the land. Mages, incredibly powerful wielders of magic,
ruled the world through mastery of dark arts and forbidden spells. Their lust for power almost destroyed all existence, and unleashed an unholy pestilence, the Darkspawn, to plague mankind, trolls, faeries, and all the inhabitants of the realm. Now magic is carefully controlled, taught behind the sacred walls of the Circle of Magi, and monitored by the ever-vigilant Templars. It is in this arena that a new generation of Mages in training will arise, warriors of sorcery who will defy the rules of the Templars and change the course of the world forever.


You can read more about the comic, including seeing the cover and downloading the first 6 pages on the BioWare Blog here: http://blog.bioware.com/

help needed to import into DAO Awakening

What Master Bandit said, that should work for you. If it doesn't feel free to post back and let us know.

Awakening skill/talent/spell issue (may contain a small, early spoiler)

There's an issue that we are watching for, which can prevent you from buying skills/talents/spells, etc. unless you also spend some attribute points. If you are able to play like this for a level until you have attribute points to spend, you might see if you can buy skills and spells and whatnot then.



Of course, Anders with only Arcane Bolt sounds odd, so we'll make note of and take a look at that one.

I found this oddly hilarious

[That cracked me up when it first got mentioned in a writing meeting. And it still makes me chuckle when I encounter it in game. http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/lol.png]

Awakening: Sentinel Armor bug

It would also be helpful to know if you've added any runes or heraldry to the armor.
