Ive had an issue with the Coiled Strike daggers not being able to accept the Firm Dual-Blade grip. The coiled strike will accept other types of grips, while Im not positive whether this particular grip can be used on other daggers or not, I dont currently have any other dagges to test this on. Ive also got the Assassins Mantle (Dawn) showing 0 armor and 12% ranged res. I also noticed that armors level is listed as 54, while all my others are lv. 4 or 5. It shows up as a common as well.
Sadly, this is completely in line with Bioware's longstanding reputation - they're great on creating good games, but they clearly have a weak commitment to adequate internal QA testing on a pre-release basis, and a truly abysmal lack of proper commitment to post release bugfixing and software maintenance (notice how instead of having paid employees handling web-based tech support on their official forum they choose instead to save money by fobbing it off onto unpaid volunteers within the customer community, and essentially leave their customers to fend for themselves with mutual support ... phone support is really only there for show, winnowing out user error and defective setups and issuing the occasional refund. It's very sad, and more than a little pathetic). This has been the case since the first Dragon Age, and probably even before. The only reason this policy hasn't done them serious visible damage yet is because they've been the ones putting out some of the best games ... IOW, the high sales figures are shielding them from the backlash, and so they swim swim swim to stay ahead of their own trail of poo.
Sorry, had to vent a little. This is my fifth bioware game, and it gets more and more frustrating each time, with the same kind of recurring problems from game to game, and being a former QA myself makes seeing this professionally irritating.
