    Don't worry about inconsistent uploads. Your youtube channel for a pretty niche video game series isn't your first priority, which all things considered, is probably for the best. The viewers understand, and this way it's like a happy surprise when we see a new video pop up!

      Didnt knew Dragon Age had became niche, it is pretty much the definitive western fantasy RPG series for a good decade. I guess one perspective is if dont get a new game every two-four years, your franchise becomes niche... But I dont agree with this pers say, its just DA is not getting public attention as it did due to no new game out currently, and because Bioware kinda slammed their reputation down with how they handled the Mass Effect series, and worse, their employees.

    Great to see you back, this is exactly the kind of content I'm all for!
    Just one quick thing, I am 99% certain Wicked Oath is also available in the console version of Origins. After 2 was out but before Inquisition (I haven't checked since) you could access all the Downloadable items in the Extra Content Tab in Origins which would bring you to the PSN store page for each item when you downloaded it it would restart Origins so it took fucking ages to add them all!

    As an Xbox player I can confirm most promotional items aren’t available to us anymore (when it comes to origins). Some dlc is free like feast day gifts or the stone prisoner but there isn’t any item packs available to us, such as the blood dragon armor. (Unless you bought these packs or got them when they were available several years ago.)

      The far cliffs of Kirkwall, lotherings lement and I think the third book but my memory is shaky, are all on Xbox by default nowadays. It’s just sort of on my digital copy of da2. I didn’t have a bsn account back in the day either.

    When you mentioned the next video isn't going to be like the others, I didn't know what to expect. I definitely didn't expect one of my favorite topics that I spent so much time researching. Not sure why promo items fascinate me so much, but they do. Nice surprise, thank you!

      Those Master Studies items are indeed a mystery. I've been able to find an expired giveaway on Facebook and contact the organizer, who was kind enough to provide that brief bit of info that I later added to the wiki. Otherwise, I haven't been able to find *anything*.

    Rewatching this video, and just wanted to add:
    26:43 "A bird that is not a bird" is probably a reference to Twitter. Whatever promotion this item was intended to connect with would no doubt have required a Twitter account in some way, shape, or form.

    I'll add to the people welcoming you back. One uncharitable thought struck me though as you went through the items. If any EA execs happen to watch this, I think they'll be banging their heads against the wall, irate that loot-boxes hadn't been invented yet.

    You can unlock at least some of the old exclusive items via Dragon Age Keep (including getting the Serrault Glass in DAI). Sadly, still no means to get the special DAI mounts outside of the mod but at least there are some things we can grab. Wonderful video as always!

    The reason they put the blood armour in the game is kinda crazy to me. The reason people buy used games is because they don’t have 60-80€ to put into a game. I got my Origins’ copy at Micromania (the French equivalent of GameStop) and the whole reason I bought it was because I didn’t have to pay 60€ for a game. In a twist of irony, the original owner of the used game never used his promo codes so I was still able to get the promo items. Joke’s on you, BioWare.

    The blood dragon armor is frustrating for me because I can’t get it for my Xbox one backwards compatible DAO but have it for my 360 game and Xbox One DA2 backwards compatible version. I can’t find a fix for it anywhere and the EA help forums have a “solution” that just sends you to the trailer of the armor on the Xbox marketplace.
    I wish that games would just make all promotional content either free to download a year after release or as an optional buy after the release of the game. Especially for the console gamers that can’t just mod it into the game.

    • @armature

    I wonder what promotional items Veilguard will give out to anyone who preorders the game. I wonder what Promotional Items I will get once I install Veilguard on my PS5. Maybe a magic Elven Sword and Shield as well as armor that the Elven Sentinels once wore, a Dwarves Axe as well as the armor that once belonged to the previous ruler of the Dwarven Empire, Staff of the First Archon or Sword of the Arishok.
