Thank goodness someone cleared that up. Here I am Awakening-less, patch 1.03 running all my saved games just as fine as you please, and go to create new character in order to copy the binary code into the toolset to change my character's appearance and BOOM! No character model. Just as an aside too (I posted a topic about this not three threads above) the character creator doesn't load characters into the 1.3 patch either, it just crashes. I took your advice and found me a 1.2 patch (because without it the Pocket Plane and Rashanta's Armory wouldn't work; and I've got TONS of crap stored in that pocket plane). Like an idiot, though, I downloaded the feastday gifts not knowing that they require the 1.3 patch to work...wasted points! Anyway, reinstalling now and patching up to 1.2...may even start a new game to celebrate. Love my character but I wasn't sure of the moral direction she was going. I just DREAD doing that stupid Sloth Demon fade plane quest again. What a pain in the arse! Again, thanks for this info.

Yeah I was stuck in there for a while too, until I learned that the only way out was through the original exit, and then switching through the maps. While we're on the subject of Denerim, does Wade make anything better than that useless Drake armor with fire resistance? Based on your level, the number of scales, etc.? I was all excited that the armor was done and I was like 5% fire resistance? WTF?

I just installed the 1.03 patch and everything seems to work just fine...for my SAVED games. However, when i go to start a NEW game, no character models show up on the left-hand screen, just a blank space. The cursor acts as if the model is there, but there's nothing. You can go through and select race, class, etc, but when it comes time to customize, still nothing shows up. Then I tried using the Character Creator, which worked just fine, and tried to import the character into the new game, and guess what...CRASH. Anyone else run into this, have a fix? When I tried to load an old game I had to force the load because after the reinstall/patch update it said I was missing DEMO_TUTORIAL. Could that be it? I have some appearance customization overrides but they've not caused any problems before. I posted this on the social.bioware boards too but instead of answers all they seem content to do is female dog and moan about the game instead of fixing the problems themselves, which is entirely possible...since I've been doing it since save 1.
