| Quote: | Dragon Age: Inquisition didn’t chart during November 2014. To me, that’s baffling. I consider it one of the best games of the year, and undoubtedly the best RPG available on current-gen consoles. It’s a game with over 100 hours in content, an achievement that usually earns a game great sales figures during the holiday season. Additionally, it did a lot to appease fans after the mixed reception of Dragon Age 2. Even then, Inquisition sold around the same amount of units across five platforms as Dragon Age 2 did on three.
It’s hard to put a finger on what exactly caused this. Inquisition did have some marketing, and was a big topic among gamers during the month. Not charting doesn’t necessarily mean it sold poorly, and I’d guess that it hit somewhere around the 400,000 mark. However, most games earn the bulk of their sales during the first month, and Dragon: Age Inquisition didn’t even come close to the all-important one million milestone. |

Apparently Skyrim sold around 7 million copies during its first month. I wonder how EA will manage to blame this dismal performance on pirates.

So... Dragon Age Keep.
How exactly it works, import wise with retail/digital version of the game, and what are options for those using warez, if there are any.
Also, as far as I've seen from keep beta, from my point of view, I played both DA1 and DA2 so long ago that is really difficult to even remember all of the quests to be able to actually replicate something similar to game states I used in my older games. It is too much overwhelming.
On good side, this is not ME and personal Shepard story, so using default story will not be so jarring due to playing new character.
In fact, looking into keep default choices, it is pretty decent compared to awful default Shepard, which looked more like incompetent Shepard, taking the worst possible choices and doing as little questing as possible. No way any ME2 imported Shepard was as bad as default Shepard in ME3.

I had the same problem. For me it was the virus scanner (AVG). Exclude the folder you're copying to and from in the virus scanner and you should be fine, or else disable it.

I think it makes perfectly sense.
The game is simply unremarkable. Not bad, mind you, but... coming from Bioware (some still hope for a second coming of some special cRPG), coming from a company that has the material resources to create outstanding triple A games... it's just not what was expected, I guess.
Not to mention that PC gamers are simply screwed: kb/mouse controls... "tactical" camera... control of "normal" camera... absolutely horrible console menu interface... technical issues (for those that bough it also)... Denuvo... abysmal combat system (hold mouse 1 to attack?!)... even MORE dumbing down (at normal difficulty it's a button masher action game for the console players) A.K.A a streamlining of a so-called "RPG-system"...
I think the game is/can be good only for those that didn't have ANY expectations and/or were expecting the worst after the DA2 fiasco. Personally, I am not one of those, so I will probably pass this. 
EDIT
Oh, btw I remembered something... 
WHO or even WHAT is that character that comes in your room immediately after you awake after closing the first rift and ending the tutorial section of the game?!?! THAT is absolutely disgusting! I had a hard time understanding if it's a male or a female... or maybe a slave... ?! It's whole body language reeks sexual slave!!!
THIS is what a "spiritual successor" of a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate 2 has become?! FUCK OFF, EA & Bisexware! Thank you very much, I'll take my indie games with wine and sprinkle them sometimes with rare but outstanding triple-A gaming goodness. |

Exactly because we have more knowledge we went for AMD. Because we know that we have the same performance or quite the same (3-5fps difference) and in some occasions even better.

It's pitiful really I dunno why I'm responding something to do while d/ling I guess. What is it exactly that makes you so insecure about life that you have to berate everyone else to follow your consumerist choices?
I guess yer a kid - this 'my brand is the only brand' disease is particularly rampant among those who lack the maturity to be sure of their decisions, but I have to say I do find it rude as well as immature because trying to take cheap shots off strangers is plain rude.
I couldn't give a flying fuck if you play yer games on a coupla old genesis consoles tied together with gaffer tape - it really makes no difference to me what you choose to do.
But I do not understand why my choices cause you to post tiresome fanboy shit to a thread about this game.
I suppose I'm a bit sorry for ya in that not only do you not seem to have any idea of how to relate to other humans, you also let money determine your actions. Get a job then maybe you'll be able to buy the rig which suits you best rather than the one that costs the least.

Stop arguing with warriormax, its like convincing him that sun is not just a giant lemon on the sky. He lives in his own little world where Intel and AMD are equal in gaming performance, let him have it
i5 6600 + Silentiumpc Spartan Pro, Asus H170-plus mobo, HyperX 16 GB DDR4 2133MHz, Asus GTX 970 Strix OC, 1TB Seagate Barracuda, BeQuiet L8 500W, Zalman Z9 case, crap monitor

None of that should have really influenced 1st month sales, seeing as reviews were out well in advance of the release and all were singing its praises. I don't think I recall even the reviews that were critical make a big deal out of the m/kb controls, which I assume means they all played it with a controller. On top of that, console sales should notionally make up the bulk of the sales. They released on 4 console platforms, so you'd think they'd have their bases covered in that regard. There are presumably several million Skyrim console players out there that that this was squarely aimed at. And it seems like virtually none of them were interested in it. Given what the development costs likely were, you'd have to think this is another blow against Bioware's long term future.

For those with this problem make sure you uncheck "read only" on the Dragon Age Inquisition main folder 
out of sig inspiration for the moment  |

It does work for me on Win8.1 tho.
On the topic of the savegames: would any of the people that bought it be so kind as to create one for me? There's a topic called "DA:I World State and Character Creation Trade Center" on a certain russian forum which details a process for generating save games with others' world states by sharing those with a friend on Origin.
 Spoiler: | Before a Creator can help you, please download this file:
(http://www.mediafire.com/download/0xc4u ... ackage.mft)
Basically, this is a version file. Without this, you will not be able to use saves created by people in higher version. Our only creator at this moment uses Version 3, (3DM torrent is at version 2, and anything else is to be believed at that version level as well unless you have a install that was released late November. Regardless, you will not have the correct version) so it is IMPORTANT that you follow this step, or your save will NOT work when you boot up your game.
This file should replace the file in Dragon Age Inquisition/Update/Patch/. A drag and drop with an overwrite will be enough.
Here's how the Trade Center would work:
World States can be shared via Dragon Age Keep, by friending a "Creator"(those who own DA:I legitimately) via Origin, then inviting them to their Dragon Age Keep via the official website. The World can be exported, then used to create a character via the character sheets that "Players"(those who borrowed their copy from the internet) filled out. (A character sheet can be found below). Once the character is created, and then saved, the files can be uploaded, and transferred to the Players via a method that the Creator chooses (Such as an file uploading site, Skype, Dropbox, etc...) in .rar format (.rar is used as it is the most protective to the "Players". .rar folders can be opened and viewed on the inside before executing anything, thus helping to prevent malware or virus transfer.).
The format of the Trade Center is as follows:
1. All "Players" must list their character sheets in a spoiler tag. This is to avoid clutter.
2."Creators" will then respond to a "Player" with a reply tab within the thread. This is to ensure that no two "Creators" are working on the same task. (No "Creator" is obliged to do anything, however, replying and taking a task, then never completing it is childish and unfair.) Upon selecting a task, the "Creators" will contact the "Players" via PM to obtain the needed information (Origin ID and the such) so a World State can be copied.
3.When "Creators" complete the task they have chosen, they will contact "Players" via PM on the website. They will then tell the "Player" how they will be transferring/receiving the file. This is discussed between the two, but typically, the "Creators" will have first pick.
4.Once a Task is completed, the "Players" must respond to the reply listed by their "Creator" with a thank you. Refusal will have you listed on a ban list, further preventing anyone else from helping you within this system.
-----------------------
This is the Character Sheet. Name, Sex, Race, Class and Difficulty are mandatory to the creation of the character. The appearance is not. Any appearance that is not listed in the Character Sheet is left to the "Player" to add in and fill out. Anything that is left out when a "Creator" picks up the task is left at default within the character creation screen. The X's are to be replaced by the numbers used to indicate the selection in the character creation screen.
EXAMPLE:
Face:5
Complexion: 7
Hair:10
Etc.....
Please place your character sheet in spoiler tags so they do not clutter the thread. This makes organizing and viewing the thread easier for everyone.
"Players": If you cannot figure out why there are numbers, then you should not be using a computer.
Name: John Doe
Sex: male
Race: Qunari
Class: Mage
Difficulty: Nightmare
Appearance sliders
Head: XX
Face shape: XX
Complexity: XX
Hair: XX
Hair color: XX
Eyes shape: XX
Eye color: XX
Voice: XX
----------------
Thus ends the explanation of the Trade Center. Lets make this a viable solution till SE's are released and the "Creators" can finally rest. Hurrah! |
Please send me a pm if you'd be willing to do this for me . I really can't seem to get in to the game knowing that I don't my "own" world state...

Win 7 through launcher and run as admin, game starts, in 8.1 doing the same thing and nothing happens, back to 7 and it starts. So unless running it for first time on 7 screwed something there has to be some problems still with compatibility(me having AMD cpu)

Doesn't work for me. And the read-only thing - when I untick and click ok or apply it seemingly does but when I open properties again read only is ticked again. What am I doing wrong? win 8.1

If like me you put the game in the Origin Games Folder in the Program Files path win 7 defines that as a system folder and doesn't like those uppity users playing around with attributes in 'their' system folders.
It is all explained here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256614
But don't get your hopes up. I followed the instructions and used the CLI to change attributes -even remembering to put double quotations around any file or folder names containing spaces. Now the files aren't read only (the folders are but that doesn't matter) but the damn thing still crashes a few seconds after launch.
I guess I'm gonna hafta wait until I update my system and try again with a fresh windows install.

The game won't even launch, and I'm guessing it's due to them not receiving the necessary info to make it compatible with my CPU(i5-4670K).
"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.
Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty
