No whether this is true or not I don't know but the reason Bioware gave for the keep was to ensure everyone got the decisions and world they wanted, so people that never played the others or for people that lost their saved games etc.Newhouse said:This actually is really stupid because if you go to their Dragon Age Keep site, you can "import" your characters from your account. I mean all it is, is their name and image but, it's defiantly importing some information, so you're telling me you can't import my decisions too? Hell Origin probably knows what I had for breakfast, yet they can't pull some info from their games?
I'm just going to be a snob and go there and say the only reason they did this is to pander to the next gen. consoles and have a way to bring your save files over, which to be fair is fine by me for console players but, why does it have to be at the expense of PC players. Not my fault I didn't spend money on a $300 paper weight.

Oh yeah I wouldn't disagree with you, a direct save import would be lot more convenient for a lot of players and I can certainly see why you, me or anyone else would want it. Even though the Keep is very appealing and has some great functionality (Varrics storytelling is a nice touch and handy for people new to the series) when it comes to making adjustments to a world state having the option for both importing and having the Keep would have been better, a combination of both would have been great.Newhouse said:Ya, I mean it's not like I hate the idea don't get me wrong there but, don't see why you can't import them to begin with. Like I said in another comment, Mass Effect 2/3 had both so not sure why we don't have it here.J Tyran said:No whether this is true or not I don't know but the reason Bioware gave for the keep was to ensure everyone got the decisions and world they wanted, so people that never played the others or for people that lost their saved games etc.Newhouse said:This actually is really stupid because if you go to their Dragon Age Keep site, you can "import" your characters from your account.

Also because the saved game import never worked right 100% of the time anyway, at least this way you can make sure you get the starting world you want. Handy as well to make minor or single changes to an existing world state, like if you where happy with every decision you made but wanted to see what happened if you made a deal with a Demon in Origins or turned a character over to the Arishok or even change a romance option.
It only imports the face and the name if you logged in with an EA/Bioware/Origin (first two are legacy accounts) when you played, it just takes those from your achievement list.
I think it's just a little unrealistic to expect people to go back through their save games and remember every decision they made. I agree it's cool for tweaking like you said but, I mean it should complement save importing not be the only solution. I mean personally I want to use my character from DA:O on PC but I haven't played that particular character in years, like I remember some of the big decisions but, am I going to remember everything? It kinda just forces you to say 'O well, I guess I'll make it up' and I think that's just disappointing and a little unfair to fans who put a lot of love and time into the previous games.
I mean at the end of the day is, saving or killing the vala during the Dalish quests in DA:O really going to matter for example? No, but it's the little things like that help immersion and enrich the narrative and subjectively I find it takes me out of the experience if I'm doing it in a "tax form" instead of through my actions in the game.
Not discrediting people who like the system, it has it's benefits but, personally I would have liked to see some way to incorporate both methods.
Must have gotten bugged when you made that world state, my current world state has my Warden as Alistairs Queen after he made Morrigan pregnant with the Old God baby.Shocksplicer said:it definitely has some issues.
Like how it claims that Alistair cannot be king while also killing the Archdemon and fathering Morrigan's child.
Uhh, guys? That's exactly what happened in my playthrough of DA:O.
If Morrigan's ritual was completed, then the Warden is automatically the one to land the final blow on the Archdemon in the final cutscene. You can't have Alistair perform the ritual AND be the one to kill the Archdemon.Shocksplicer said:As much as I like the idea of The Keep, it definitely has some issues.

Hell, the World State I had to settle for is actually the one that's impossible, since apparantly my hero killed the Archdemon without fathering Morrigan's child (since she's a woman) and is still alive, something which cannot happen.
I think he had to meet Goldanna (gets the hardened state, can be king) for that to work. I remember helping my sister with it a few days ago and that solved it iirc.Shocksplicer said:As much as I like the idea of The Keep, it definitely has some issues.
