Velanna's Exile bug

After trying many exhausting attempts and reading all the info from other users, I am asking the question on whether or not Bioware intends to patch Velanna's Exile quest. I have tried many attempts at getting the random encounter, and nothing has succeeded. From what I have read, many have lost hours of their life trying to get this random encounter.

I attempted this after the silverite mines and  later on in the game. I have only gotten this quest once on 4 playthroughs. I am on PS3 and am using the Awakening disc, and therefore I cannot use the command terminal.

It has been three years since this was released and you'd think this would have been patched. If anyone has any advice from their experience, please do share.

  • Good news and bad news.

    Bad news: Bioware has already stated that they are no longer patching this game, beyond possible updates should new OS problems arise (for example, if it's still selling well on Origin when Windows 9 comes out, but something in Win9 breaks it, they might patch that). So no, there will be no official fix.

    GOOD news: while the PC vs. Console debate is debateable for most games. the PC version of DA blows its console versions right out of the water for multiple reasons. And one of the biggest reason is the modding community. In addition to all sorts of free, extra fan-made content, including extra stories, quests, weapons, armor, locations and comapions; the community as released unofficial fixes for pretty much every bug in the game. For velanna, install

    And I'm pretty sure you should be gold. If so, do me a favor and mark this as the solution, would you? I'd appreciate the points.
