Re: Warden not porting to Awakening

I do not have any mods currently attached to my game, but I do have all the DLC, is there a mod I need in order to fix this? (I did previously have a few mods, but they were removed before I re-downloaded the game -as in I deleted my entire mods folder- to prevent running issues with the client, and said mods never impacted Awakening before either. As I did not reinstall the mod-running program when my computer changed as well, I don't know if this is the problem? If it is, without the mods existing to delete, should I redownload them all?)

@Seliphra;  No, no mod needed to play Awakening.  I just wanted to know if there were any installed that might be causing the issue.

How do you get to Awakening to start a new game?  The vanilla process would be to launch Dragon Age: Origins, (whichever version you have) then from the Main Menu select: "Other Campaigns ==> Awakening ==> Play ==> Import from Another Module".

Is that what you're doing?

[EDIT]  I presume you've already tried both the "Repair" and "Update Game" options from within your EA/Origin Library.

I am opening Other Campaigns => Awakening => Play, but it does not give me the option to import, it takes me straight to the strange room instead. I have already attempted Repair and Update, yes, there was no change when I did, and I am very confused by this. (Likewise if I opt New Game => Awakening  I end up in the same room as before)

All results in google point to mods. This is an odd issue indeed.

Could you perhaps upload your latest Dragon Age Origins save file so we can conduct evil experiments? I want to see what happens when I load it. If it has any mods I don't have, it should inform me of it. I could  then perhaps make a 'clean' save file.

Yes, I agree with Fred.  I've started Awakening to play the default Orlesian Warden, (although I couldn't go more than a couple hours that way.)  But except for a mod-gone-wrong situation, I've never heard of being forced to do so, much less being stuck in room at the start.

Found a possible cause:  "Ser Gilmore" mod for DAO is installed.

Remove that, and Awakening should start normally.
