There are still a massive amount of bugs remaining. Some especially bad since they prevent players from actually engaging in New Game Plus, others severely crippling several quests. So... when is the next patch coming? I paid 60 bucks for this game so I'm not in the mood to wait half a year to get it fixed only to be then milked for more money to get some half arsed DLCs.
I would like a community manager to respond to this as this is unacceptable behaviour. Bioware delivers one patch and then basically does a submarine dive and is never heard from again. So what's cracking? Is someone working on it and what is the ETA?
yes someone is working on it. no you can't have an ETA. there are a lot of issues that need to be updated. a lot of code to go through and testing to be done to make sure the fix doesn't derail the rest of the game. 2 weeks isn't a lot of time at all when it comes to fixing multiple bugs in a game. just shut up sit back and wait. it will be fixed when its fixed. don't like it then take the game back and get a refund. EA and Bioware do not owe you anything.
Do you really expect them to tell you every time they take a dump? how many times they shake it after peeing? 60 dollars doesn't entitle you to demand answers. have a coke and a smile and wait patiently for them to work things out.
How about you stfu? Nobody asked you dude and: oh it's a lot of stuff to go through is no excuse for absolutely no communication nor is for nobody updating the known issue list in the Bug Forum with issues that have around 500 XP on them. And yes 60 dollars entitle me to answers when those 60 dollars were spent on a product that is not working correctly. Those 60 Dollars means I am a customer and as such I can demand to know when the product I purchased is going to work as it is intended to.
What's more you can't: take the game back and refund. If you are over the timelimit or date limit, you can't turn in a digital copy in the super market and demand your game back. Since all PC copies are digital copies, even if you bought them on amazon, there is no way you can return them and get a refund because once your code is spent it's spent. Get it? Maybe grow a brain before you come in here and throw your non-existant weight around kiddo. From the way you act up I assume that I was playing game back when you were still running around the christmas tree with a diaper on so respect my autoritah!

first of all you don't know anything about me. from the way you claim to be older than me that means you have to be at least 50 years old. and you're still playing games? do you know how to use a smart phone or a computer? and no i do not have to stfu this is a public forum in which someone posted a public post for others to see. i have every right to post my opinion and if you don't like it go choke on a fat D. the 60 dollars was spent on a game in which was given to you. the game works and plays fine. sure there are some bugs but those bugs do not entitle you to anything other than a go F yourself.
second....you can get a refund. these bugs have been here since day one. the game is still under 30 day warranty since the game has not been out a full month yet. you can get a refund. and yes you can get a full refund from a digital code. you just have to ask and tell them why you should get one. i know this because i have done it before. but ignorant people like you don't take the time to ask you just assume they will say no.
before you try saying something make sure you know all the facts. clearly all you have coming out of your brain is ignorance.
Again Kiddo, stfu. I'm not even gonna argue with you anymore. Move your arse out of people's threads and stfu. I checked your latest posts and all you do is tell people to stfu, bitching them out for making valid requests and generally just telling them to get over themselves. I suspect you are either just an idiotic troll or directly involved with EA somehow trying to * people off, make the forum a hostile place so people will get tired of it and stop posting or are afraid to get bitched out by you. Well not with me you little punk. STFU GTFU or I'm going to lay a verbal smackdown on your candy arse so hard that your grandpa's bones will rattle in their grave. I've not been around the internet for nearly 30 years to be cowed by some little troll who sits in his mommas basement * of to German Scheisse porn.
To anyone else: I would advise you to simply ignore this guy. Typical troll behaviour pissing one person of without actually offering and constructive feedback or criticism and when that person (me) gets into a lengthy discussion with this troll, who will always change the topic when he gets beaten on one point, automatically 2 or 3 guys spring up defending the troll or making him sound reasonable, pissing others off in turn and the whole thing spirals out of control. It's normal or rather typical. So don't pay him any mind. I won't after this post.
Back to the topic.
Like I said I personally agree with the last poster. I have a feeling that they are already on their way to a DLC... it would certainly fit the timeline... 2-3 months for a patch for minor bugs? Sounds more like 2-3 months for the first DLC since they need DLC quick to keep this game from staying relevant. It has already dropped off any relevancy radar and they have experience with that sort of policy. DA:I was better received but ultimately disappeared fairly quickly but most of the DLC got a decent amount of press and some good reviews so they probably think they can fix it now which imho is the wrong way to go. The right way would be to fix this game and then offer people who bought the game before the first patch come out that DLC at half price or even for free.
I really think that they don't really know how to handle the situation. The game was obviously made by numerous groups who didn't communicate with one another before they put it all together. That would explain the difference in quality from one part of the game to the other. The fact that things are constantly out of order in conversations etc. The games relevancy died when they ended up with a 4.8 average user metacritic rating, and now, with EA fully in charge, they are probably trying to decide if they should do just enough to partially save a once great franchise, or milk the remainder for what they can get out of it and then the game will be nothing but a multi-player online game in the near future, full of annoying twelve year old's with zero parental supervision and have discovered foul language.

I think you are right.
Your last sentence scares me ☹️ I know its possible, but I hope they will work things out.

Your last sentence scares me ☹️ I know its possible, but I hope they will work things out.It scares everyone but fanboys who are the one's who spend their days online talking to each other like the Jimmy DeSanta character from GTAV. Look at how many bought up franchises EA has done that to. Nearly everything they sell now has to have an always online connection and many have been pushed into straight up online only games, or with extremely limited single player. They tried to force people to have to play online multiplayer with this game before it was released with all that strike team stuff. It's all about micro-transactions for money. Nickle and dime people for as much money as possible. This time however, they backed off at the last minute because of the outrage they received.
The poor writing and massive plot holes ect. proves that single player for this game is becoming an after thought. The problem for them though, is that they not only screwed up single player, but they completely dropped the ball on online multiplayer as well. The game has great potential, and if Bioware and EA had people who weren't only interested in money and political ideology, this would have been one of the best games of all time, but instead it's mired in mediocrity.
Edit: As an example, look at their news and blog about this game. Most of it is about Apex missions for online. I guaranty you that is the ultimate goal for this franchise. Online mediocrity.

The main problem ist that this model in unfeasible and everyone who knows anything about games knows that. The MMO market is pretty maxed out as it is. You won't take WoW's title and Destiny is still going strong. If even huge names like Star Wars and Star Trek basically had to go full free2play just to get enough people to survive it's just unfeasible to go in with a half hearted attempt. Furthermore there is still a massive market for single player games as shown by Zelda, Zero Dawn Horizon, TW3 etc. all those games sold and sell massive amounts of units with none or very limited Multiplayer experiences. Nobody is going to buy ME or DA for Multiplayer modes. It just doesn't make sense. The hallmarks of RPG's and even story driven shooters are a massive open world and between 50 and 100 hours of game time or even more. If you can't deliver that or 80% of the timeframe you deliver is basically filled with throwaway MMO quests you will go under.
Fallout 4 received good reviews but nobody considers it a standart bearer anymore. It's okaish for what it is but ask any reviewer and they will tell you the genre references. For Anything Roleplay related it's: The Witcher 3, Zero Dawn Horizon, Zelda and possibly in bits and pieces still Skyrim. Anything below that mark will never ever reach above an 85, anything that still feels like 2010, so DA:I, ME:A will seriously have trouble scoring above a 70 nowadays. Reviewers and players are tired of * especially when they have seen it done better in terms of support from the developer, communication, value for money and in general in terms of how good a game can be nowadays without just being a benchmark test for how good it can look. People are tired of climbing towers or thousands of collectibles. Look how Mafia 3 got savaged by the press and that was a massive and beloved franchise. It got killed and nobody heard a word about it since. The same can be said for Batman Arkham Knight. It was shoddy, the gameplay was idiotic and people hated it.
That is what suprises me the most... you have a company which has been burned several times (worst company in the world title etc.) and which people has been given the puppy protection for DA:I because people said: okay it's the first time they really tried open world... so we will give them a pass in certain aspects... but instead of saying: alright let's get it right they said: ah alright so basically lazy writing, quest design and always doing the same quest and running from loading screen to loading screen is cool. Okay let's stick to that then. You have to wonder what kind of morons are in charge of that company to think like that.
