Full Xbox Controller Support to Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II on PC
To all the fans out there, I am writing as a longtime fan of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II. I am asking for your help to convince BioWare and Electronic Arts to bring full Xbox-style controller support to the PC versions of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II. I love both of these games, but there is one major thing that has kept me from enjoying the PC versions as much as I enjoy the Xbox versions: the controller experience. I strongly prefer playing these games with an Xbox controller. The Xbox versions were designed around controller gameplay, and I really enjoy the way the controls, menus, and overall interface work with a controller. Unfortunately, simply connecting an Xbox controller to the PC versions does not provide the same experience. The PC versions still rely heavily on the mouse and keyboard interface, which means that even when using a controller, I have to use the mouse cursor to interact with various menus and interfaces. What I would really like is a true Xbox-style controller mode for the PC versions, similar to the controller experience already provided by Dragon Age: Inquisition on PC. Dragon Age: Inquisition demonstrates that a Dragon Age game can provide PC players with a proper controller-based experience. I would love to see that same philosophy applied to Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II. Ideally, when an Xbox controller is connected, I would like the games to: * Use the Xbox controller as the primary input device. * Provide controls that closely match the Xbox versions. * Provide a console-style interface designed specifically for controller use. * Eliminate the need to use a mouse cursor during normal gameplay. * Allow menus to be completely navigated with the controller. * Make inventory, character screens, abilities/talents, dialogue choices, maps, and other interfaces fully controller-friendly. * Display Xbox controller buttons and prompts. * Allow the entire game to be played using the controller without constantly having to use the mouse cursor. * Ideally allow players to choose between the traditional PC interface and an Xbox-style controller interface. I am not asking to change the gameplay, story, characters, graphics, balance, or mechanics of these games. I am simply asking for the opportunity to experience these existing games on a modern PC while having the same type of full controller experience that made the Xbox versions so enjoyable. I understand that Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II are older games, and I realize that implementing a complete controller interface could require significant development work. However, these games still have an extremely dedicated fanbase, and I believe many longtime players would welcome the opportunity to play them on PC with a modern, fully supported controller experience. For me personally, this would make an enormous difference. I want to be able to sit down at my PC with an Xbox controller, start Dragon Age: Origins or Dragon Age II, and simply play the game naturally—without having to constantly use the mouse cursor simply because the PC interface was designed around it. The existing PC versions already provide access to the officially released expansions and downloadable content. I am not asking for additional content or changes to the games themselves. I am asking for the existing games to receive a properly integrated controller experience. If BioWare and EA could provide an update or modernized PC release for Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II featuring: Full Xbox-style controller support like Dragon Age: Inquisition + a fully controller-navigable interface + modern PC compatibility, I would be extremely grateful. These games have remained special to me for many years, and I would love the opportunity to experience them again on PC without having to give up the controller experience that made the Xbox versions so enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time to read my request and thank you to everyone at BioWare who helped create these wonderful games. Sincerely, Krazy2c A longtime Dragon Age fan
DAI NOT WORKING ON STEAM AGAIN
Ive been re playing all dragon age games on my steam deck but as ive gotten to dai it simply wont launch. Ive tried all the protons, deleting and reinstalling and nothing works! Im just a girl who want to replay dragon age :( can someone please help! P.S i only have my steam deck so I can’t play it on another console. Id like to use the ea app to play for the achievements if possible. Previously proton 11 beta worked but now it doesnt.
DAO: Toolset Update
I am a DAO modder or I was. After my PC died, and I was forced to update to Windows 11, I lost my module source files (but managed to have backups for almost everything else). I'd like to mod again, but my big wish is that Awakening and other DLCs would be updated with the Toolset, and the Toolset to be updated better with Windows 11 (I managed to do it, but it was a huge roundabout way, and I hope I don't have to do that again). If possible a NCS -> NSS script decompiler/converter (just upset about my lost source file module scripts). I think it would be really great as a free update for nostalgia and appreciation (like anniversary/milestone thing) to the longstanding DAO fans to get a fully loaded with all Expansions/DLC updates on the Toolset as well as a Toolset update to be compatible with Windows 11. Scripts, dialogues, etc. At this late stage most people already have the DAO: Ultimate Edition anyways, and a lot of us still play. Anyways, I think most of this should be readily available in the archives on the EA end for updating toolset expansion/dlc files—just an update to Windows 11 might be some work, but for EA devs I don't think it be too difficult. I also noticed that the toolset doesn't fully work since having to be on windows 11 (connecting to server/database issues). And as a modder this is very upsetting :( Anyways that is my biggest wish from the Dragon Age franchise for years now :)
DA2 dlcs problems on Steam
I have recently bought DA origins and DA 2 from Steam. With Origins, I had no problem with the DLCs, however with DA 2 I just reached Act 2 and noticed that the DLC statues did not appear in my estate. I then went and checked and saw that my dlcs are unauthorized, Also, the game is not letting me log in with my EA account. Is there a solution for this, or do I just have to accept that you can't play DA2 dlcs from Steam?Dragon Age Keep - Error
I've been trying to get into the Keep to edit a new world state, however I can only log in and always get an error message when trying to get to the tapestry or any other part of the site. I've tried clearing the cache, updating the password, using mobile device to log in, creating a new account, different browsers, all to no avail. The error message is the "Oops, an error occurred. Please refresh and try again". When I tried to create a new account I got the 500 error message. I'd like to avoid using a save editor to update, but I've not been able to solve this issue. If anyone has a solution I am listening.
trying to download dragon age Origins pc ea app

Forced to play in languages I don't use.
Hi, i have DaI on EA and after the change of origins to EA my games only allows me to play in polish or russian, no english at all in choices during download window. And Im almost 100% sure i used to play it fully english when app was still ORIGIN, just like DaO which i can pick from whole list of languages to this day. When I do download it, the game launches with both english and polish mixed - one for voice and one for text. Like why?? I want my game to be fully english and it now when searching it is said ithat game is region locked to polish options even tho i don't even live in poland so its frustrating that suddenly I cannot play the game because of that. Why region lock something so crucial as language of a game? I wanted to make my bf play the game that i love and now we can't because suddenly me owning a game still doesn't give me right to pick a language freely. The only options i possibly see is refunding/deleting a game that i had since 2014 and buy a new one just to have another region unlocked? And the fact I live in Finland will possibly force finnish/swedish only anyway... Is there a easy fix to force english on the game? And yes, I have my OS in english, my EA app is in english and region is Finland.Origin is no loonger running. [Bug]
So, I recently got back into Dragon Age and decided to play Inquisition, first time playing in a while and I launch the game, however every time I try to do so it shows me the attached ss. I deleted the EA launcher cache, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, even rebought it on steam to see if that fixes it. I've done everything less than uninstalling and reinstalling the EA App (since I would have to use CCleaner bc the uninstaller won't work). Is there anything I can do to avoid this error?
