Hopefully they add on. If they do a "separate" release it would need to be one huge expansion.

Agreed. Too much VO ruins the descriptors and makes me confused as a player as to what I should be doing. Should I read this? Do I just listen? But then I miss The descriptors, and I prefer to read anyway. So I try to do both and it just doesn't work.

I'm not offended but yeah, I'm mad I had to shelve this game so they could patch it.

I LOVE this game. Its amazing. But I have to complain about the technical issues. I can't just play through them and not say anything and pretend they don't exist just because of how much love I have for the game.

Yes I have also had this issue.

They do certainly happen. It's just so strange how nearly every single Obsidian release is packed full of bugs. Bad ones. But hey guys that's okay, it's not like they are EA or anything so let's not call them out on it. Let's not even get a little bit upset about it. Let's just defend them, and accuse people trying to report legitimate issues with THEIR game of "crying". Let's tell them to "get over it" and defend a company because "programming is hard" and "they worked hard". Edit: The ratio of bugs to complexity? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Talk about reaching. WHO CARES. The game is buggy. That's all that matters. So what your saying is that you feel, because the game is complex, we should give Obsidian the benefit of the doubt, and just sit back and wait and not level any criticism? Wow. Bye bye White Knighting, hello Obsidian Knighting.

No. It's not.

You would be crying that if you had a buggy experience. You're saying you are bug free. Well good. A lot of people are not and it's hypocritical to say people are "crying" when you know if you WERE having critical issues with your game, you would complain as well. Oh, and no one is bug free in this game. If you double click a piece of equipment, you just hit a bug. A bad one. It's that easy. You may not think it's bad, but it's bad.

People have come to expect their games to be buggy because 8/10 of their games ship buggy. The buggiest game I've played before this one was Fallout:NV. I've played over a hundred games since then easy. It's okay for games to have a few bugs. Even a major one at launch. Whatever. But this game has at least five game brea- wait. let's not say game breaking. Even though they are game breaking, people tend to say things in response like 'well, it's not really game breaking cuz you can still play even though your missing an entire category of stats". Let's call them critical. At LEAST FIVE very critical bugs. Five...unacceptable. Obsidian deserves their reputation as a buggy developer. I love obsidian and to reiterate OMG I LOVE THIS GAME TO DEATH!! but I hope the bugs in this game compact and cause people to criticize them even more for shipping buggy games. It's the only way they will start taking it seriously. They know their reputation and they STILL ship a game like this? COME ON!

Ya know, there are WAYYYY too many people giving Obsidian the benefit of the doubt around here. If even ONE of these SERIOUS bugs were in a Bioware game, there would be a forum chock full of hate, how ea doesn't care and they just want money and blah blah blah. Dragon Age Inquisition had far less critical bugs, and people were going bonkers. Threatening to sue. But no, It's Obsidian guys, let's just give them a pass because....because. The reason there isn't tons more whining is because people don't like to criticize smaller company's. Could you imagine how you would all react if this were a Blizzard game? Holy crap. THIS GAME IS A BUGGY MESS AND THAT IS THAT. I LOOOOOOOOOOVE this game. I do it's great, but there is no way you can defend this game's technical issues. Aloth just disappears on me guys. HE's JUST GONE. I travel and he leaves my party and I can't recruit him back. THAT'S HUGE. I also have like, three different stat bugs. It's RIDICULOUS. Just because some of you are playing some magical super happy bug free game, doesn't mean you can tell people who are having issues to "calm down" and "obsidian is working hard" and have that magically make the boatloads of glitches go away. The game IS a bugfest. I hate to say it but it is.

I remember reading a preview review type article where they were talking about how much of the game played, and were so surprised at how bug free it was. Forget where, but...really? I'm not even 20 hours in and I've shelved the game completely due to bugs.

So I'll just put my disappearing Aloth bug here, it doesn't seem to be getting much attention, so maybe its only me. But I would like it fixed as it's pretty bad. Who knows how else this bug can creep up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nphWpgm-SLc

This pisses me off. How is him saving "properly" have ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT? It's not his fault. His game would be fine if it wasn't a buggy mess due to poor testing.

Like the ones where things disappear for no reason. Up to and including entire party members.

I tried but I can't. Aloth just disappeared on me. I've never played a game where an entire character just vanished.

I'm not. I've been hit by several game crushing bugs and I can't say I'm surprised. Disappointing.

So I just completed Raedrics hold, traveled to caed nua, and Aloth is now gone from my party. He just dissapeared. He does not show up under recruits or anything. Totally gone.

So...i just travelled from caed nua, and aloth just dissapered. He's gone. I can't recruit him. I can't find him anywhere. Anyone have any ideas about what I may have done? Edit: Yeah he is just gone. He doesn't show up to be recruited, He isnt at the Inn, He isnt on any of the previous maps i was on. He is just gone from the game. Totally. NO HE DID NOT DIE.

Due to the passive effect bug, I tried to do the fix for my companions by dismissing then recruiting them back and ran into yet another large bug. I would recruit 5 members back into my party from the black hound inn (also tried cad nua), and none of them would join. In the interface it would say they were there, but the only portrait on the bottom of the screen is my pc. The workaround was I got a prompt upon traveling to recruit members. I did so, and at that interface it worked.

Because of the equipment glitch, I went to the inn to dismiss then take back my party members. I do that, it dismisses them, but when I try to hire them back they dont appear. It says in the INN menu that they are in my party, and I can "dismiss" them, but they are not really in my party. Before I submit this as yet ANOTHER MASSIVE bug, am I doing this right? I'm going to the inn, dismissing them, hitting accept. Then going back to party management, recruiting them, hitting accept. That's what I'm doing but they don't appear. Edit: So..I exit the game and try to recruit my five party members back the same way, and I only get three of them this time. Which is more then zero. Still, pretty sure this is a bug.

While I agree there are some kinks in this system, I personally love it. I love making use of flanking attacks and what not. Spell casting can be a bitch for sure, but when you position correctly and things go off without a hitch its just so satisfying because it's not just drag n drop.

This does suck, as I've checked and the only character I've affected with this is !y PC character monk. So I'm screwed until we Get a fix. With that said, I'm only level 4, the rest of my party is okay, so I'm gonna play through it because this game is amazing. Sucks boatloads for people who are a higher level though.

I did the same thing and raged. I'm on normal too. It's easy to wander in there thinking it would be balanced for that stage of the game. I like that it wasn't.

Yes your early. If you continue on a bit, you will get two more companions, then hire one from the inn, and you will kill that dungeon easy. You just have to few people.
