Approval Problem

[Stratified]

Yesterday I started a new game and everything was going fine until I got to Ostagar, and with Alistair in my party, I went over to feed the prisoner. Normally, you're supposed to get a +1 approval from him if I recall correctly, but I didn't.

I thought it was odd, but later on in Lothering, I decided to test it out with the merchant (the one fighting with the Chantry lady) with both Alistair and Morrigan in my party, but I didn't gain the disapproval from Alistair OR the approval from Morrigan. So I had conversations with them each separately, and while it says that the codex was updated (in the case where I ask Alistair about Eamon raising him), again, no approval. The approval bar doesn't change, either.

However, when I present them with gifts (such as the Tribal Necklace for Morriangan), their approval does go up.

I'm guessing it's a mod conflict or something that got overwritten in the core, but I'm not too sure as I'm not tech savvy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Any additional info that might help:

Patch 1.04,

Mods Installed Recently (at the same time of starting a new game): Rapture's Lightsabers, Shadow Warden's Armor, Faster Combat, Increased Difficulty (EX). Tried deleting them all and starting a new game but the results were the same.

To gain +1 approval at Ostagar you need to be

 

1. Female

2. Wait until Alistair say," Just to let you know. If the king ask me to dance... ..., darkspawn or no darkspawn." ( Duncan assign you both to light the signal )

3. Choose "I like to see that.."

4. Alistair will say, "For you.. maybe. But it has to be pretty dress." You gain +1 from him.

5. Duncan will sigh, "hmm..."

 

 

At Loitering, Morrigan will disapprove if you side with the chantry lady to force the merchant to lower his price. If you choose to side the merchant, Alistair will be unhappy. Make sure Leliana is not in the party.

That's not what I meant. You get +1 approval no matter what when you're at Ostagar and you feed the prisoner who then gives you a key to the Mages' Chest when you're with Alistair. I'm talking about this: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/The_Hungry_Deserter

And I know the results for the merchant at Lothering. I'm giving examples. I just don't get approval, whatsoever, even after choosing the correct dialogue options. The same thing occurs whenever I click on ANY of my companions and talk with them. It's not a matter of me not knowing how to gain their approval, because I do, but the fact that something within the game WON'T let me gain approval.

Go to \Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\AddIns. Check if there's any leftover.

Go to \Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\data Make sure this folder is empty except font.erf which is require to make console command visible.

Thanks so much. Interestingly enough, it was the font.erf that was causing it, as I tried removing everything else only to have the same problem.

And sorry if I came across blunt in my first post. Was totally not my intention. A kudos for you. :)

That's really strange. fonts.erf is the first thing I installed because I dont want to type blindly at developer's console. I never have any problem with it.

 

 

Are you using ultimate edition? I heard, there's issue using developer's console with ultimate edition.
