Inquisition Achievements not unlocking

Can I get a reply at all? It has been almost 168 hours(7 days), only 12 hours away. I am fine with a couple days late but I expected a faster reply than this.

I had the same problem with Dragon's Bane achievement not unlocking on my first play through, although I killed 10 dragons. Now I'm playing a 2nd playthrough on nightmare, killed the dragon in Crestwood as the first dragon kill no change. Then a bit later I went and killed the dragon in western aproaches for the quest and I got the Dragon's Bane achievement. So it seems like the dragon in Crestwood isn't counting for the achievement for some reason. I'm playing on PC if that makes a difference.

I am having the same issue, only not just with the dragon hunter achievement, but also with the Astarium achievement. Both have logged in the journal that I have found, killed and completed all of them, but the achievements still won't unlock.

This forum is community driven. If none of your fellow players know the answer, chances are you won't get a reply. If BioWare finds the issue, they'll probably include it in the next patch.

I can confirm the bug on PS4.  I figured out a workaround (which I verified with other players on a different site).  See thread below for details.

-------------------------

Aside: Personally, I wish Bioware had a greater sense of responsibility in addressing problems like these in timely fashion, instead of following their longstanding modus operandi of treating workarounds found by the player community as reducing (or eliminating) the need for a proper software fix at THEIR end.  Their anemic status reporting, and the low number of official fixes released to date, should be obvious to anyone paying attention to such things.  I'm a retired quality engineer, so I tend to notice.  It would not surprise me to go back to DA, DAO and DA2 and find that the majority of the bugs I reported several years back have still not been fixed, and probably never will be.

That neatly illustrates my aside immediately above.

BioWare actively communicates with the community, but not on this forum. You can reach them on their own forum and Twitter.

That said, communication was more active when Chris Priestly and Jessica Merizan worked for the company. Other active BioWare eployees, like Jesse Houston and Christina Norman, have also left the company. Alan Schumacher is quite active on the forums, and David Gaider and Mike Laidlaw (respectively lead writer and creative lead of the Dragon Age series) also spend a lot of time talking to the community.

But as I said, they don't that here. This forum is strictly for the community.

Just to reply briefly ... I've been on some of the other sites in past years for earlier versions of DA, and I've never been overly impressed with the overall commitment to qualitative & timely bugfixing and communication regarding same.  In all fairness, and speaking as a former auditor, the responsibility for such things more often than not rests with upper management & the level of effort/budget/manpower they assign, rather than with the hardworking people that get paid to actually man the trenches (some of whom have since moved on to greener pastures, according to your post).

Ok, back on topic.  Sorry for the soapboxy aside ... just wanted to vent a little and sprinkle in a little big picture for the youngins.  I miss having the ability to fix things directly.

In case it hasnt already been, you guys are real troopers for helping to lead a peer to peer answers site like this.

That having been said, IMHO I still find it sad that the community is being forced into a mutual support role like this because of a longstanding history of anemic pre-release QA and worefully inadequate post-release software maintenance by Bioware. If only they had a well funded software maintenance team to match their creative team.  If only.
