Maybe. Though I have been sitting at half chub all day, reading reviews when I should be working.

I wish I'd bought it on disc. Trying to get this DLC to work with the Steam version (Not Steam's fault) has just been a waste of time and a nightmare. I've wasted such a sinful amount of time to the point I'm all but ready to quit and get a refund because I'm that aggravated.

You have to jog through this beta Bioware site and it just doesn't work right at all. Something so simple and yet...it's not.

By the way, is that DA flash game still up? I tried playing it over the weekend but when I started a new game (like 10 times) it just sat there and didn't advance, so I guess I am missing out on some free items.

Also, apparently getting the DLC to work you have to restart the game or something and it should work.

I've restarted the game and Steam itself several times.

^^ Is this correct or do I have to jump through the dumb Bioware site via the redeem code option in game?

I preordered the Deluxe.

From what I've seen elsewhere the download versions have to go thru a check at bioware/EA and the site isn't working to well.

The site is a wretched piece of shit. I'm so frustrated at how much time I've wasted I can't even begin to tell you.

I finally got to bang Morrigan last night before I went to bed. My character ruined it though because he looks creepy as hell.

Without being spoilericious, can someone tell me what the best character/race is for a fighter type? That's the way I usually play first. I am currently a human noble warrior, but I don't know what skills to take. Can someone who's gotten a long way tell me if there are warrior skills to avoid? I'm currently going 2 handed for skills. What attributes are to be focused on also?

Too bad they did that.

In case there's any other Steam people having DLC issues. Bioware is apparently aware that, yes, their site is a complete piece of garbage.

Also, I forgot to post this: but what do you guys think about the Custom Tactics?

I didn't even look at this until I started fighting my way up the tower in Ostagar in order to light the flame and send the signal for attack. I was encountering hordes of Darkspawn during that sequence, and so created a custom tactic for my female elven mage.

At that point she had learned 3 separate heal spells - so I created 3 orders for her: whenever a party member dropped below 50% health I commanded her to cast one of the heal spells. Yes, I could've taken control of her myself, and cast the spells, but I've since discovered that indeed there is no pause-at-the-end-of-every round feature in this game, meaning that the way you 'queue' up orders is really through the custom tactics, and by allowing your characters to go at it.

I jumped into the shoes of one of the Tower Guards, and allowed the Custom Tactics to take over for my mage. When the battle commenced she began healing people left right and center - and when she wasn't healing people she was shooting at the Darkspawn from afar with her staff.

No way, with 8 Darkspawn attacking my party, could I have reacted that quickly and that precisely. I barely made it through those battles, but what did get me through was customizing my mage as a healer, and allowing the CPU to take over. The tactics were all mine, even though the CPU was temporarily in control of my mage.

And ya know, it was pretty damned cool!

Thoughts?

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it some, the more difficult this game gets (and I hope that it does get a lot more difficult than this, because so far I haven't been challenged at all, in the sense of being frustrated a la Baldur's Gate 2) the more I'm beginning to see how important it might be to rely on custom tactics. This could end up being the feature that really strengthens this game for me?

Just finished decrypting the deluxe edition via Steam and I'm now downloading the 2 DLC content items. I didn't have any problems at all. Just logged in with my EA account and entered the codes I got from steam and that was it. Still haven't played yet since I'm downloading. Hurry up!

Edit: Oh looks like I got some items from the flash based game too. Forgot all about those! Nice!
