My Dragon Age Origins characters won't appear in Dragon Age Keep

[Stelosnarcos125]

My characters from Dragon Age: Origins aren't appearing in Dragon Age Keep and can't be part of my Tapestry or World State. What is wrong?

@Stelosnarcos125 Dragon Age Origins no longer uploads its character data (it used to be uploaded to the old Bioware Social site), and it hasn't for quite some time now. So unfortunately, you'll only have access to old characters previously uploaded (if you have any) and the default characters (which you can customise, if you wish. It really makes no difference in game, though).

Sorry I don't have better news for you.

I beg to differ.

Today I decided to give Inquisition a go, long years after finishing Origins and ignoring II.

Before stumbling upon the news about the character import being abandoned, I executed the steps from http://www.princessstabbity.com/old-bsn-sync-troubleshooting .

Afterwards I got here and found out that all my efforts were for nothing. After some hours I got to the Keep in order to try and get my world history in order (basing on journal from Origins) and I noticed that my mage appeared there and is available to be selected as my character from the first game.

Did you check the tapestry to see if your character's choices had actually synced correctly?

When I imported the character I finished DAO with into The Keep, all it seemed to recognize was his name, race, gender, and class.  The choices displayed on the tapestry appear completely random, and have no relation to the choices I actually made in the game.

As far as I understand the idea behind the Keep, the character is the only data that ever was actually synced. I can understand the scale of the problem caused by the need to sync the whole graph of choices, but having to recall my world's story is actually what caused me to abandon Inquisition before it even started. :P

Same reasoning here. You'd think that since EA took it over they would be smart enough to keep the function, but alas. That required EA to be smart and not ONLY concerned with profits.

EA have always been responsible for the Dragon Age Keep, so no. and

there wasn't successfully working functionality to upload past progress, so also no.

The point of the Keep is to allow you to track your choices, it's not a save game import engine.
