Dragon Age: Origins

Dragon Age's Return to Ostagar Yoinked From Xbox Live
Written Thursday, January 14, 2010 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

It seems like BioWare and EA's latest Dragon Age: Origins DLC, Return to Ostagar is having a bit of trouble recently. First it hit a last minute delay and then yesterday it dropped on to Xbox Live without so much as a fanfare. Today the situation went from bad to worse as the DLC was yoinked (love that word!) off the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Community Manager, Chris Priestly, posted a statement on the Dragon Age forums earlier on, "This morning a title update on the Xbox 360 for Dragon Age: Origins was made available in preparation for the release of Return to Ostagar. This title update introduced a previously undetected issue that causes specialization classes to not work correctly in Dragon Age: Origins. We are removing Return to Ostagar from Xbox Live until the issue is resolved and are recommending that you do not download the title update.  If you have already performed the update, we apologize for this and are working hard to ensure a fix is available as soon as possible. "

Looks like you'll have to hang in there that little bit longer for your BioWare fix. Hopefully not too long though, some game called Mass Effect 2 is coming out in a few weeks.

I was gutted when it was delayed, but I'm glad I never jumped in and downloaded it immediately now.

Hopefully they fix it soon though. :)

At least they are working to fix the bug post-release unlike some other companies that just leave their broken s**t on the marketplace. Kudos to Bioware for actually doing something about it.

UGGHHH! Man, my life is terrible.

I returned the normal edition to Amazon and bought a collector's edition. The package FINALLY came after being Dragon Ageless for like a week, then the package was wrong because they shipped me the collector's edition GUIDE BOOK and not the game, so I have to return that, and I'll FINALLY have Dragon Age tomorrow, but I downloaded the damn title update, and now I have to wait for that to get fixed.

What the heck?!

So what about those of us who have already downloaded it?
although i have played through ostagar and encountered no problems and my characters have learned specialisations, cant wait to see what will happen when they release the awakening if there are this many problems with such a small expansion

I downloaded the title update and the DLC yesterday and had no problems what so ever. It's barely worth all the trouble its been. It's pretty short and the King's Armor isn't altogether good unless you're a lower level character that doesn't have access to better gear. It's worth the 400 points but not all the delays. *Shrugs*

Return to ostegar isn't very good to be honest. 30mins of gameplay, most of it walking around, recycled osregar and made it white, no real story. yeah, not good.

I downloaded it and was very very disappointed with the length. Under 30mins to complete it was a little disappointing. Amazing storyline add-on though.

Hahaha.... It's all a joke, Delay, Release, Pull. One word Bioware... TEST. You see if you do that then you won't piss your fans off to no end. Don't expect this DLC for another 2 months, thats how long it took them to figure out the first glitch they had. Can't wait to see how they F'up Mass Effect 2.

@ everyone saying Bioware should have tested this: They HAVE been testing the DLC. That's why it has been delayed so many times to begin with- they announced a release date, tested it, discovered a bug, and postponed it again. While it is unfortunate that the DLC/TU were actually released this time before they caught it, at least they're trying.

What sort of an issue is it? cause i played the whole of ostagar with no problems and and i noticed it said i had no specializations already, but all the specializations i had unlocked were still there and my skills still worked.

I'm just surprised that it has taken this long for them to test and fix this. For such a short DLC (30 minutes by most accounts), testing/fixing should have been done a while ago. Even Bethesda was quicker in fixing the Fallout DLC and that was much bigger.

I got my DLC achievement fine last night so I am not affected by this.It was a terrible DLC,recycling the start of the game basically and offering very little new dialogue or anything else.Really hope they put a bit more effort into the next one.I will say though,like others,at least Bioware are fixing the problems,not leaving them be like so many other companies.I'll always respect that.

I'm laughing with you. The comments seem to be coming from sheep who just want to ignorantly pile on Bioware and Microsoft. Stuff happens, and in this case, stuff will be fixed. Get over it, people, and be glad that Bioware is on the case.

The problem is that they had 1 week to fix it and still released it broken. Awesome, now I lost all my specializations. Another week of waiting I suppose -.-

I downloaded it and had no problems with it at all. I finished it in a matter of minutes and was dissapointed with the fact that there was only 1 achievement for 400 MS points and that it was really really short. O well i put the game away anyway until new stuff comes out

@ #38 Yeah I did.What I mean is that there was no interactive dialogue.At least nowhere even near what there was for the other two DLC's.They rattled away in Ostegar,but only while running from darkspawn to darkspawn.Just wholly unimpressed by the whole thing.

This explains why the game seems to have "forgot" all the specialisations all of a sudden. Bad thing is that it also seems to have lost the data on the "Recruiter" achievement, as I recruited the final party member last nigth without getting it. A bit irritating to lose out on the achievement... but the new DLC is fun and the new gear is great, so it's not a total loss.

Don't really get why there are so many whiners out there. It's not like you won't be able to download it, or download it again if you already did so. I downloaded and played it through. I didn't notice anything wrong. Though if I do I'll just have to re-download and go from a previous save, meh.
