Allow access to locations after final battle

[1Monk]

I think it's ridiculous that I'm locked out of all locations except the DLC after the final battle.

Why can't I leave some board quests for after the battle??

 

even worse, if you don't "discover and unlock" Cadash thaig before the final battle you can't access it at all.

I'm supprised no one has made it yet. If they have, they've made it hard to find. A lot of people seem to be giving their mods bad names and putting them in the wrong categories.

I second this request. I find it ridiculous that the DLC (that barely came out yet) is the only thing you can access after the game. I'd also love to see the effects of all your actions on Ferelden, but that may be a bit too much.

the post finale save is supposed to be, chronologically, before the final battle (denerim should still be fine).

 

but besides that, the coming "Return to ostagar" is said to have a new armor. if when finishing it I'm stuck again with nowhere to go... what's the point :wallbash: .

Isnt the full exspansion that continues the story coming out in march? I think its called The Akwakening or something and the main quest is figuring out why the dark spawn are still on the surface. Some say it takes place in a new coutry and you can either use your current character or make a new one. Maybe they're planning to let you go back to these places only they'll be dramatically different.

 

 

*spoiler warning*

A lot of people are saying that it will start based on how you eat the game, but the endings arent so different that they have to make completely different starts. Obviously, one of the endings is is a true ending each character's personal ending doesn't really matter except morrigan's since shes always seen walking somewhere pregnant. And Alistars of course. My guess is that either of the grey wardens dying wont change too much of the story, just a few dialogs about it.

 

 

Enough rambling though, I'd like to go back do those quests in all the towns because the main quest always makes me feel rushed. Its like "omg dude hurry, the dark spawn are coming" I like Oblivion's set up better, where there was no doom if didnt bother with the main quest, which I never did. I think if this game had a better sense of being an open world we'd get better mods. Only time will tell though

i wanted the same thing and tried the toolset... nothing really came from that, because when i got the landscape all laid out the wiki didnt give any info on how to get doors to snap in place while in the area creator... so the door is half in place and looks really stupid... anyway, when i have all the parts built, will someone with actual experience put it all together (as in do the area transition stuff?) :thanks:

 

p.s. who else was excited about being king or queen and then having that all taken away and replaced with a few words? i was hoping for actual followers that would ask you to help them after you were king... maybe even new companions...

I'm talking about Return to Ostagar DLC... and how useless a DLC's content is if you have nothing to do with it once you acquire it.

Dragon Age: Expansion :thumbsup:

That seems like a pretty mod. On a side note, I wish bioware's site was a little easier to search one. Its liek they just slapped it together in a day.

 

Anyways, I wonder if theres just a mod that opens up all the places as if nothing happened or something.

 

My guess for the DLC being the only thing open is that when the expansion(s) come out, those will also be the only things you can access. So you can continue forward through the expansions but at the same time go back and get shale, go to the keep and return to ostagar. Thats just a random guess though. Personally I think people are reading too much into how much your choices play a big part on the sequels (same with mass effect 2). I dont see much changing beyond a few dialog changes and maybe a few cutscene differences. At its core the game's story is pretty linear

[DarkeWolf]

I too would like to see this. Seeing as how I already completed all the current DLC's prior to finishing the game.

I think a big part of making this happen is going to be tracking down the cause of it. But if you really wanted to do it RIGHT, there would be a LOT of work involved in correcting what the npc's are saying and stuff.

 

Also- return to ostagar is a no-no. it was pulled back and Bioware hasn't re-released it yet. So for the most part, the only copies of that DLC are ILLEGAL copies, which discussion will get you banned from the boards pretty fast.

There were a very, very few folks that managed to download it before it got pulled, but yeah... for the most part, don't even bring it up, the mods are fast with the ban-stick when that particular subject is concerned.
