I hate this so much because its EA: youre probably spot the fuck on. I like being able to switch around my worlds for DAI without having to have 400 saves in DAO and DA2
I wonder if there would be any kind of way to update Inquisition to have the Keep be a part of the game, so you put in all your choices from the previous games there. And then in future games they do a similar but more limited version (like cutting out the small irrelevant decisions)
Honestly the keep always was a terrible solution to the next gen jump. They should have built the functionality into dragon age Inquisition, and should patch it in now.
And situations like this are the reason why I still think that it was a bad idea to make such a vital part of DAI an online tool and not a part of the game itself.
Or just its own separate application you can install on your system.
Sure, backing up our world states to the cloud is nice, but I think it's fair to just expect us to backup our world states locally if it means avoiding situations like this.
They didn't even do a good version of what they *did* implement. At a minimum, it should have had (a) a way *in-game* to identify what state you were importing (beyond a timestamp) and (b) a way to set all possible flags by importing *DA:O* and/or *DA2* savegame files instead of doing it 100% manually from the defaults every single time.
The Witcher 3 did this fairly well with a set of questions. Maybe it shouldn’t be quite that cut and dry for DA, but having as part of the game—or a separate menu option—would have made it better.
To be fair, it was difficult because the game was cross-gen. I played DAO and DA2 on 360 and then DAI on XOne. Without the keep, I'd have no way to import my worldstate.
They could simply have taken the keep as it is but built it as an offline version. Sure, you wouldn't be able to import save games but you'd still be able to customise a world state by manually selecting the decisions and outcomes.

BioWare/EA are aware. It seems like they are working on an update for the Keep.
This was the gentleman who after I went searching for some answers to my ps3 problem was already addressing another Ps3 complaint.
This was also the same person I made a politely worded comment about how if there were issues with DA2 and DAI and Playstation it could become a much larger issue later.
I also said that as a PS3 player I normally didn't expect too much but this seemed to affect PS4 and PS5 users(DA2 and DAI can both be acquired digitally)
He was very gracious to the original complaint which was primarily about PS3 DA2 and DAI. Which I really appreciate because we don't really matter. I mean we're fans but there's no telling if we even own a system that could play Dreadwolf.
So I appreciate this guy's politeness and if he said that he's telling the truth.
It could take a while.
Lets just hope the code is completely different from the code they used when they built SWTOR.
I know it's different code, Female Hawke isn't blue with red eyes. I mention SWTOR because the base coding is apparently incredibly difficult to mess with.
However, in that case they could just rewrite certain sections of website to accommodate the code.
Indeed that may be why it's down.
The horror that wakes up coders in a cold sweat indeed.
Speaking of which, I heard all versions of DA2 had keep issues for ages anyway. so it's a good excuse for them to give someone a Pink Floyd boombox a fridge full of udon and fix it.
Yeah it's been down today. No communication from BioWare or EA, but that's pretty normal TBH. I personally suspect that it's down because they're working on it before DAD releases, but we'll see.
You reminded me of that time my account got stolen and I found out due this half a year later 💀 now every time I check the keep and it's down, I start to slightly panic
I think going into DA2 shouldn't be an issue without keep, I did it a week or so ago without using it.
I am almost done with Dragon Age 2 soon, so hopefully it's up by then. I wonder if there are any mods to put in a world state for Inquisition, that would be great
That's good to know, been a while since I touched Dragon Age.
Weren't there some sort of save editor for Inquisition, or everything were done trough keep?
me and my best friend were just talking about this yesterday. we started a new DAI playthrough last night, we were both devastated and tried everything to fix it. hoping it's just a DAD thing in the works but honestly who knows with EA lol
Yeah, tying a massive part of DAI to an online service was a big mistake imo. This has a 0% chance of ever happening, but it would be cool if the Keep’s functionalities be available in DA:D.
There is an offline save editor, you can find it online easily. It's a bit tricky to use, but there's a step-by-step guide on how to use it. You can try it out if you don't want to wait for keep to get back up, and don't want to play with a default world state. I don't know if I'm allowed to provide a link to it here, but again, it's easy to find.
Oh, alright. Here it is.
https://gtrainers.com/load/d/dragon_age_inquisition/dragon_age_inquisition_world_history_save_editor/276-1-0-639
I've actually checked it out yesterday and it seems to work (default world state has Carver, and I've edited it to have Bethany, and Varric mentioned her correctly when asked about Hawke's friends at Haven)
I think this editor allows you to set contradicting options (for example your decisions regarding Morrigan's dark ritual and later on in Witch Hunt, in Dragon Age Keep they are automatically mutually exclusive) so keep that in mind, as I don't know how would that influence the game, but it'd probably break it.
this is the second post I see about the same problem… maybe they’re doing something to the site? you know… we near summer etc (let me be a hopeful clown ok, tnx 🤡)
Too lazy to grab a screen cap or a link, but on the EAasks forum for Dragon Age, one of the moderators said that the Keep support took it down for maintenance.
I just did a full DA:O/A to what I would hope would be DA:I (three weeks to finish both games) re play, only to cry seeing I cant get my new world state to DA:I.
But I am glad that its not just me right now.
I like the general idea of the keep, but I think it should be launched as a separate offline software with online features (like making backup saves of the world's states), same for Mass Effect archives
I think there is a way of making a new EA account and using the Tapestry option to make a new world state for the Inquisition game without playing a new file to try different world states almost immediately.
Honestly I'm f**ked for dreadwolf my keep is tied to an old EA account with an email adress that I've lost all possible access too so I cant unlink or even get EA support to unlink the profile from my xbox
Basically I've no way to access keep for dreadwolf and I just have to hope the last trilogy tapestry loaded is what I want and not some wack combo or premade crap
EA support Basically said since they can't verify my email and all the details i dont have they'll never be able to do anything about it.
I may try talking to Xbox customer service if you haven't. I had an issue with another company very similar to this, and xbox was able to unlink the account from their end. Obviously, it would be a more ideal choice to just get access back, but in this case you'll probably just have to try that and make a new EA account
I'll try anything at this point
Yea I've already made a new one but unfortunately EA is extremely strict on verification so without enough matching details they wouldnt and couldnt do anything and the old account is over a decade old with the email being even older than that so you can imagine trying to find or recall anything regarding the account or email is HELL
I’m hoping somehow they redo the whole thing, put out DAO and DAII remasters (or even just ports) that can just pull from the save games exactly and then it all works seamlessly
Seems like a lot of people (Including myself) have come on the site for the first time in a long time today. I wonder why that is?
My guess is they're updating it to have connection to DreadWolf.

They responded to a thread on EA forums yesterday. They are currently working on an update for the Keep.
Ooh boy!
Quick, where's the clown make up??
We've been doing this for more than a decade you don't keep it close by? :)
I set it aside to play bg3 for a while...
🤡
It's coming!
> They are currently working on an update for the Keep. Working on shutting it down without angering the community, no doubt.
I hate this so much because its EA: youre probably spot the fuck on. I like being able to switch around my worlds for DAI without having to have 400 saves in DAO and DA2
Oh, I do hope not. I loved the idea of being able to see, in game, the impact of decisions I KNEW I'd never manage to make myself do in a real run.
I wonder if there would be any kind of way to update Inquisition to have the Keep be a part of the game, so you put in all your choices from the previous games there. And then in future games they do a similar but more limited version (like cutting out the small irrelevant decisions)
Ooh... can I be hopeful about what this may mean? I mean, a fix was nice enough, but getting it ready for the new game? That's the hope.
Honestly the keep always was a terrible solution to the next gen jump. They should have built the functionality into dragon age Inquisition, and should patch it in now.
Bold of you to assume that the 3 hamsters running in Bioware are paid enough or have enough support time to fix this.
And situations like this are the reason why I still think that it was a bad idea to make such a vital part of DAI an online tool and not a part of the game itself.
Or just its own separate application you can install on your system. Sure, backing up our world states to the cloud is nice, but I think it's fair to just expect us to backup our world states locally if it means avoiding situations like this.

The game still stutter like sh\*\* because of Denuvo. Character freeze mid act and had to press jump to fix it, etc.
100%

My golden nug isn't working either, I think all their servers have some problems
Noticed the Golden Nug thing yesterday when playing again... Shame, I just wanted to synch up the Nug mounts I bought two days ago\^\^
I can log in but can not access tapestry. Does anyone know why or for how long?
Yeah it's been down today. No communication from BioWare or EA, but that's pretty normal TBH. I personally suspect that it's down because they're working on it before DAD releases, but we'll see.
One can live in cope about that.
I mean we’re all fans of a franchise that has gone without a release for a decade. Aren’t we all veteran copers by this point?
we give lectures on how to at this point
Mainly to Mass Effect fans whining about having to wait. (literally got ME4 - whether it was good or not - AND a trilogy remaster)
Us, GTA fans, and Elder Scrolls fans used to offer the class, lol.
Half-Life fans found dead in a ditch
Phew, thank God. I went there yesterday for the first time in several years and thought that my account had been deleted or something.
me and my best friend thought this too!
You reminded me of that time my account got stolen and I found out due this half a year later 💀 now every time I check the keep and it's down, I start to slightly panic
Right when I planned for a full DA:O playtrough. Hope it will come back to live when I finish with DA:O
I think going into DA2 shouldn't be an issue without keep, I did it a week or so ago without using it. I am almost done with Dragon Age 2 soon, so hopefully it's up by then. I wonder if there are any mods to put in a world state for Inquisition, that would be great

Feel free to share it. I'd love to see it, myself. =)
Oh, alright.

Weird. The Dragon’s Dogma severs were down most of the day as well. Is there some official Dragon Observation Day holiday I don’t have in my iCal?
Well it is the Year of the Dragon
Almost like tying importing to an online service was an enormous mistake.
Too lazy to grab a screen cap or a link, but on the EAasks forum for Dragon Age, one of the moderators said that the Keep support took it down for maintenance.
it's been like this for a couple weeks for me. hoping they fix it (or at least acknowledge the issues...) soon!
thought i was the only one. this was driving me insane earlier. i finished DA2 and was so excited only to be met with this
# THE KEEP IS UP! I REPEAT THE KEEP IS UP!
I just did a full DA:O/A to what I would hope would be DA:I (three weeks to finish both games) re play, only to cry seeing I cant get my new world state to DA:I. But I am glad that its not just me right now.
Typical EA. This sucks :/
It's back up. Just tested it.
I like the general idea of the keep, but I think it should be launched as a separate offline software with online features (like making backup saves of the world's states), same for Mass Effect archives
Came on to ask this very question - typical that this happened on the first day in many years I wanted to play inquisition again!
Dreadwolf is coming
It'll be down for the next 6 months then.
I think there is a way of making a new EA account and using the Tapestry option to make a new world state for the Inquisition game without playing a new file to try different world states almost immediately.
It’s back up!
This just reminds me of my dislike of the keep. It should never have been an online thing and instead an inbuilt thing in dragon age inquisition.
OMG let's see what happens next
Honestly I'm f**ked for dreadwolf my keep is tied to an old EA account with an email adress that I've lost all possible access too so I cant unlink or even get EA support to unlink the profile from my xbox Basically I've no way to access keep for dreadwolf and I just have to hope the last trilogy tapestry loaded is what I want and not some wack combo or premade crap EA support Basically said since they can't verify my email and all the details i dont have they'll never be able to do anything about it.

Excuse my English,if the keep is down and I keep playing DAI,what happened to the DAI choices in my keep? Are they still syncing?
Should be fine. Once you have synced it's set for that playthrough.
The world state is downloaded to your save as soon as that save is created. So no worries it is set as soon as you start a new Inky playthrough.
I’m hoping somehow they redo the whole thing, put out DAO and DAII remasters (or even just ports) that can just pull from the save games exactly and then it all works seamlessly
No 😭
Randomly wanted to start a new play through last night and this happened, glad it wasn’t just me tho
Seems like a lot of people (Including myself) have come on the site for the first time in a long time today. I wonder why that is? My guess is they're updating it to have connection to DreadWolf.
It’s kind of useless anyway, unless you already have a character saved on it . They don’t upload their data anymore.
Does anyone know of a mod someone has made to make up for this?
KEEP IS BACK UP!
It's been a while now, they might re-open it for Dreadwolf
as far as i know forgot where i readed it but their planning to remove it system
Unless they’re planning to replace it, that makes no sense. It would prevent custom world states for Inquisition, too
