So I re-worked my Tapestry in the Keep, and re-uploaded it to the DA:I servers. Started a new game, downloaded the new world state, and started playing. Got to the point where you control Haven and talked to Varric about Hawke (the only way you can check to see if your world state has actually imported correctly) and everything seemed to sync up fine.

Played thirteen more hours and got to Skyhold, and met a Hawke who was both the wrong class and the wrong gender.

Uninstalled DA:I from my hard drive immediately. Will not re-install until Bioware learns how to make a game read an existing save file from a previous game, something the guys who made Suikoden figured out twenty years ago.

Right so first up; chances are you probably just overlooked the class when you redid the Keep the second time around while focusing on the upload. There is a default.

As for reading a save file, the game is made to be partly compatible on consoles that don't have the old game. Everyone also makes claims like yours above without genuinely realizing it's not that simple, nor is it the same thing as things were 20 years ago; a vintage car is easier to fix than a newer one in the same way. The more advanced you make something that harder it is to fix or change.

Then I'll re-install DA:I when Bioware figures out how to make a game read a save file from a game from a different console, something the guys who made Suikoden 3 figured out ten years ago.

Also, I didn't miss anything in the Keep. I constantly went back to it every time I re-made my character (3 times in total) to make sure everything was the way I wanted it. The Keep data was always the way I had wanted it, the game just didn't want to recognize it.

Your loss.

Well, finally finished the game.

Yeah, some people have also pointed something else out...

You know the big choice, leaving either Hawke or a Warden in the Fade and most people choosing to leave whoever the Warden was?

Well, even if Corypheus would normally be killed by whatever the Inquisitor did to him... If a Warden happens to be in the fade at the time and still fighting away?

Well, feck...

But he isn't in Kansas anymore, we don't know if the same rules would apply....

Two handed Reavers.
Soloing high dragons 2 levels higher than us on normal since the the Third Age.

Or an assassin dual dagger rogue. Soloing Corypheus since release date.

**pretre**

In normal difficulty, isn't any class pretty much solo capable?

**Compel**

I get the sense of that, yeah.

Although, a Sword / shield dude that isn't a templar might have a few infinity battles against a badguy that uses barriers a lot.

To sum it up, anyone with a 'gain guard on hit' weapon is probably near enough unkillable.

KE is basically god moding your way through, right?

More or less, it's hilariously broken.

I think because I wanted to beat it before I went back to school, I missed most of the game...

Okay. Cool story.

Pretty late throwing my two cents into this one, but I will say this is my favourite game of 2014 (and 2015, so far). Have had a playthrough going pretty much constantly, and I probably will for a while yet. They certainly deserved all of those GOTY awards.

Of all the ways to finish Corypheus, throwing him into the Fade might have been the least rational. It's almost as if that's what he wanted to achieve all along. Nice job breaking it, "hero".

I dread to see what casual difficulty is like, given I find hard difficulty mostly unchallenging.

But then, I suppose it's meant for people who are mostly interested in the story. And it's an achievement of sorts for BioWare if they have such people playing their games.

I thought this too, at first, but watch it again. Note how the Inquisitor opens a fade rift inside of him, and he disintegrates whilst screaming as he is sucked in. His second trip must have been fatal. Because, obviously, they're not going to have an ending where you help the villain achieve his goal.

Granted, they could have made it clearer, so as to avoid confusion.

At the end, you send corypheus through to the fade without a physical body. So he's just another spirit in the fade.

**Troike**

Was this stated by a developer?

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

EDIT: Nevermind

The wife surprised me with an Xbone and DA:I for my birthday. Go team go

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

She got you a console? Damn that's generous. Did she buy it with your money?

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

Yup, I'm the only income in the house, but it was still a nice thought.
