Dragon Age fans have saved one of the series’ most beloved features: being able to import your world states in each game.With the Mass Effect trilogy, this was simple: just play through the series on the same console, and your saves are automatically carried over. The same was true going from Dragon Age: Origins into Dragon Age 2. But by the time Dragon Age: Inquisition rolled around in 2014, a new console generation was upon us, so BioWare had to get creative.This is when we get the Dragon Age Keep. This website connects to your EA account and keeps track of all the decisions you made in the previous games. Or, you can just input whatever decisions you want manually. You can then import this crafted world state into Dragon Age: Inquisition and see your previous choices reflected in the game.I am sure many of you can already see the problem with this system: it’s an online service that needs to be maintained. True enough, the Dragon Age Keep experiences fairly frequent outages, during which time no one can start a new Inquisition run with their choices carried over.Now that EA has shut down BioWare, it’s unclear what will happen if the Keep goes offline again, or how long EA plans to keep it going. Thankfully, fans already have a solution, at least if you’re on PC. A couple of modders have released user-friendly ways to adjust the game files so your choices still carry over, even if EA pulls the plug on the Dragon Age Keep.First up, there’s Thedas World State Studio - Dragon Age Keep Utility by Nexus Mods user anshela. This gives you an offline alternative to the Keep, letting you input your choices in the same tapestry format you would in the online version.This is much more user-friendly than previous methods of editing your world state on PC. As anyone who has tried will tell you, modding Inquisition is a nightmare thanks to the Frostbite engine, but this tool should make it much more accessible.The modder says they were already working on this before the BioWare news hit, and the fact that it is ready now is just “good/bad timing." Indeed it is, because the next Dragon Age Keep outage could be the last.Right now, the mod files have been “quarantined” while Nexus approves the latest version, so it can’t be downloaded just yet. But once it’s up and running again, it should work just fine, judging from the response from users so far.This isn’t the only mod you’ll need if the servers go offline. The closest thing Inquisition has to New Game Plus lets you port almost all of your unlocks into future playthroughs, but for whatever reason, this also requires the Keep to be up, even though it’s only dealing with things you’ve unlocked in Inquisition.That is where Thedas Chronicle - World State and Golden Nug Fix by TP1231 has us covered. This will let you access the Golden Nug statue that activates item transfers even if the servers are down. As the name suggests, it will also let you play with your imported world state when the Keep is offline, but you will still need the world state that you made while the servers are up.While it’s great to see fans get these solutions out before EA potentially pulls the plug, it is no wonder that BioWare didn’t want to risk this happening ever again. Instead, Dragon Age: The Veilguard had us input previous choices in the game itself, so it could be played offline. Granted, we had far fewer options to carry over that time around, much to the frustration of fans, but at least it means we won’t have to go through this again. In the meantime, BioWare fans are currently fighting to save the studio’s IPs. Most notably, the Save Mass Effect movement has amassed thousands of supporters, as they urge EA to do something with the IP, rather than let the series die.
