Hi all,
The community update will be a regular feature going forward. I'm hoping to get it on a regular schedule, but this is new process for us all, so the first few may be scattered through the weeks ahead, but we want to make sure you are updated frequently and have a solid source for info, so watch for more of these (as well as other happenings in the Dragon Age universe) in the News forum.
The next edition of the Xbox 360 title update is currently in testing for certification. We expect this process to be complete soon. Once we are certified, we will immediately begin work on deploying. What this means is that the notification of the release date could come... on the release date! We're a matter of days away, and looking forward to getting this on your hard drive for keeps. We're moving quickly, but will try to be as timely as possible with further information updates.
Return to Ostagar will be released for Xbox 360 and PC within a day or two of the title update. The PS3 release date is still pending. Again, keep watching for updates. In the meantime, you can read MMOMFG's first impressions for some excellent preview information.
The items fixed in the Xbox 360 update are:
Some players were unable to unlock the four achievements from Warden's Keep and the Stone Prisoner during the first four days of launch. These achievements will unlock properly once you sign in to your Xbox Live and EA accounts.
The previous Xbox 360 update update introduced an issue that relocked class specializations. This title update will resolve that issue.
* After loading a previously saved game, specializations that have been unlocked through gameplay will be available again.
* All book-based specializations will now automatically unlock once the Warden reaches level 14. Books will still be available from vendors so you can unlock these specializations before level 14.
The Hopeless Romantic, Perfectionist and Recruiter achievements were not unlocking for some players. This issue has been resolved. To update and unlock these achievements automatically, load a saved game where the Warden has completed the requirements for these achievements.
* The Recruiter achievement will still require a recruitment to occur after the save is loaded. If you have completed all the requirements for Recruiter, and the achievement is still locked, load an earlier saved game where you are still able to recruit any party member. Once you have recruited a party member, the achievement should unlock. This should work even if your current saved game still has unrecruited characters, but you have recruited all of them in previous play.
We also wanted to include a couple more news items here.
Starting next week, international gamers will be able to purchase Bioware points-in-a-box at select retailers, allowing them to purchase and experience DLC. At this time, we can confirm that they will be available in Germany, Poland and Russia. We're pulling together a complete list of countries where this will be available and retailers, and will update this message with that information.
Green Ronin announced that pre-orders of the Dragon Age RPG will be shipping this week. (Thanks to greywardens.com for the scoop)
