Update 100: The White March - Part I

It's a silly question I know but how can I play the expansion? In the game menu it says the expansion is installed but I cannot find a way to play it directly. Is it only accessible from within the normal gameplay? I use the GOG version.

 

The expansion adds additional content to your current playthrough. More areas, companions, items, etc. You can access it after you have finished the first major quest in act 2.

I think so. It's more content in the main game you can go to during the main plot after you get the stronghold (more or less).

It's not a continuation past main game plot.

 

Are there any requirements other than getting the stronghold? I started a new game and have the stronghold now but there doesn't seem to be a way to access the new content

 

 

Just need to complete the first major quest in act 2. I don't want to give away any spoilers.

 

Just a quick question because I made an odd observation: Is the game supposed to be 1.0.5.0582 PX1 Steam?

 

I'm a bit confused, since I was on 2.0 beta before.

 

No. The game should be 2.00.760. If you are seeing that build it is in an incorrect state. Are you back on the default branch? What I mean is, have you removed the beta branch and gone back to "none"?

 

 

Yeah, thanks. It now downloads some 4GBs of data. Instead of the 2 it originally downloaded.

I'm loving the new features. I don't have White March yet, as I'm still playing through the first storyline, but the range distance indicators make this game even more amazing than it already was!

Good stuff. Kudos for the team, it's a great game, and I have great expectations regarding the xpac.

I, for one, will play it only after the second part is released. Not in a hurry, and I'd rather experience it in a single go.

• You may now retrain your party members to modify their attributes, skills, and abilities. Now you can try out new builds quickly and easily.

 

It won't let me retrain their attributes. Is it only party members you make? Not companions? This needs to be made more clear.

Ummm should game be 2.00.706 (not 760) - that's what mine is... ??

 

(also followed by PX1 or 1PX?) On GOG 

 

also will patch 2.0 be coming soon for DVD users??

You know just how to please me, Obsidian. 

 

 

Adra dragon by Polina, also went for Woedica ... couldn't get all three, that would be greedy. 

 

 

Have a feeling I'm going to enjoy the rubber sleeve labels. I don't know why.

Was so happy to wake up to that email Obsidian! Thanks for all your efforts.

 

Busy waiting for the game to update now...

How do DVD players get the expansion/updates?  I'm using the digital download copy from GoG, and my wife plays the DVD copy, and I'd like for her to play the expansion as well, as well as get the 2.0 upgrade.

Woohoo! Definitely will purchase, but I'll probably wait for part 2 before I play. Mostly for the same reasons I like to wait for a full season of something to hit Netflix. I have to avoid spoilers like the plague but if I succeed I don't claw my eyes out mid season out of impatience.

 

Thanks Obsidian

Can't belive I've read a hundred updates  

 

 

Good work Obsidian, now please take my money

Congrats Obsidian
I'll have to wait for the expansion, but thanks also for the base-game update to 2.0

At laaastttttt :D Cant wait for the weekend to start playing again.

ExPack so far is great.

Part I is supposed to be a complete story that does not end with a cliffhanger, so I think it would be fine. Since this is a Tales of the Sword Coast - like expansion, I expect Part II to pick up other stories in other places.

Still, waiting to get both parts is worth it if you want to get the experience of an old school expansion pack.

And here I thought that your party's gonna end up in the lowest parts of the Durgan's Battery with some impossible-to-open huge door that will only be accessible to the player after part 2 is installed.

 

Phew

IIRC Josh said in an interview that Part II would deal with the consequences of Part I.

You thought wrong.

 

 

Take that, sarcasm!

has already been announced when probably will be released part II of the white march? 

March 2016 according to a German magazine, IIRC. Obsidian never Said anything official about it though.

How much does it add to the original playthrough (if anything at all)?

 

I'm trying to decide if to use my "last save" or start a new game: I'll do the latter if there is enough new stuff

From GOG:

 

"The White March Part II automatically becomes available to Expansion Pass owners as soon as it is released this Winter."

I spent several hours this afternoon just clearing a single map which included several unique items.

added into the original game area?  (Or do you mean an expansion area?).

Any new content beyond items in the original areas?  (conversations / NPCs / quests (whether related to White March or not) / etc?)
