[entertainer]

Bullshit.

 

[racofer]

Just finished "purchasing" it

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I bet it was a real bargain

 

[Jaedar]

Not worth the effort to "buy"

 

[Sceptic]

I bet it was a real bargain

Not physically removing from an inventory is always a bargain.

Not worth the effort to "buy"

Let's just hope it was at least worth the effort to download...

 

[Merlutz]

I don't appreciate you supporting software piracy on these forums, Sceptic. Aside from tainting the prestigious RPGCodex magazine by mentioning it, it is an immoral practice and I will have none of it. I'm sure everybody else feels the same.

Anyway yeah I just got it too
It was a real steal

 

[Sceptic]

Piracy? who's talking about piracy? We're all staunchly anti-piracy over here. Or are you one of those old geezers who haven't heard of the digitial distribution age? I got DAO from an entirely legitimate source of download. True story.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

Arrr, many a bloodthirsty freebooter in this here hive of scum and villainy. Avast!

 

[Thrasher]

Shit always flows freely into the cesspool.

 

[Grunker]

So...

Not one member on the Codex commented on it yet.

To shitty to be worth a comment but not shitty enough to be worth a comment?

 

[Sceptic]

FFS give us some time. We only got it today. Codexers aren't like typical game journalists who write "reviews" after 20 minutes of playing. We write ours either before even starting the game or after having played it entirely. No middle ground.

I expect codexers to be able to form a valid and informed opinion at least a month before the game is released.

That's why the Codex oldschool crowd is a shining example for game journalists everywhere. They hate journalists that form opinions of games after twenty minutes, yet have no trouble forming their own a month early

That smilie is overused.

I'm a newfag, so I've had a limited amount of time to appreciate its awesomeness.

Also, your mom is overused. c wut I did thar?

 

[Sceptic]

Nonsense. Overused would only apply if the smilie wasn't so awesome.

And as an oldschool codexer newfag I resent being compared to gaming journalists. Just because two or three people here think everything is shit doesn't mean it's a common oldschooler thought *

Of course analyzing the hype and forming expectations is another thing entirely (and I wouldn't be living up to my chosen handle if I swallowed entire feature lists without second thought)

* come to think of it can they even be considered oldschoolers if they didn't even know the old games existed until they joined the dex?

 

[Zed]

I bought this game via uTorrent.

I'm not playing it yet though. If you start a new character will it autolevel to expansion level? Or how does all that stuff work.

Autolevels to 18 with new unique gear. No idea if companion choices/quest choices carry over as the game crashed after 5 minutes.

Played through the original campaign twice and never had a single crash.

 

[poocolator]

Not worth the effort to "buy"

I'm going to have to agree with this one. I don't have the hard-drive space or willpower to go "out" and "buy" this... thing.

 

[Overweight Manatee]

Bioware boards seem to be getting tons of complaints about the new patch that comes with the expansion being shit.

http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/58/index/1633999/1

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Remember when we were happy about new patches for a game, instead of fearing they would break something?

 

[Volourn]

"Remember when we were happy about new patches for a game, instead of fearing they would break something?"

When was this? No such time existed.

 

[racofer]

This is totally unacceptable, Bioware!

This is a disgrace. What was Bioware thinking? Hello? Was this expansion and patch developed by Obsidian all of sudden?

What Bioware seems not to be aware of, is that people like me will now face two problems:

1) I will have to wait for who knows how long for a patch to fix the game;
2) Because I've not purchased the game, I will also have to wait for the cracked .exe to be released before I can finally play the fixed content;

What nonsense is this Bioware? Are you not aware that some people have to wait for two fixes instead of one because you screwed up? I'm sure I'm not alone on this one, because a lot of people acquired the free version of this game, and you simply ignore all this user base in favor of people willing to buy your stuff. We're also your supporters, in case you haven't realized this yet.

So next time, Bioware, think about us too. We deserve better than this and you know it.

 

[racofer]

Hey, what the fuck is wrong with Bioware??!?

2) Because I've not purchased the game, I will also have to wait for the cracked .exe to be released before I can finally play the fixed content;

WTF?!

It's a troll, most likely from RPG Codex.

Huh? Does this make sense to anyone else? Problem one is shared by all users every time there's a reported bug in a product, (and is one of the reasons for threads like this.) But I don't see how one justifies whining to Bioware to fix "problem" two, which is essentially that those who steal their product suffer more *because* they stole it, and so need even more consideration?!?

Words fail me.

I second that. WTF? That post made no sence at all.

Mission Status: Success!

 

[Sceptic]

Why is Andhaira going on about needing a fixed exe? It's been out since the weekend.
