Bugs[]
- Installing and completing this DLC may cause all save files created after completion to be corrupt. Neither EA nor BioWare have found any solution to the problem.
- There is a possibility of save files being corrupted while playing this DLC. It has the potential to corrupt several previous saves when starting it and some saves during it may be rendered corrupt without the typical "save error" warning. It is advisable to backup a save file to another storage location in which Hawke has not yet activated the memento and to create a new save throughout the DLC rather than saving over previous ones.
- BUG FIX: (Tested on ) Save file corruption after completing Mark of the Assassin DLC can be prevented by destroying all Items (except The Hawke's Key, which cannot be destroyed.) received from both Mark of the Assassin and Legacy DLC. A combination of the items causes a bug that corrupts the save file. Destroy ALL items from both DLC (except The Hawke's Key) and the bug shouldn't occur.
- UPDATE: (Tested on ) Regardless of the item color (DLC-Green or otherwise), destroying EVERY armor piece, weapon, accessory and junk item from both Mark of the Assassin and Legacy no longer stops the save file from corrupting. It will corrupt as early as the final mission of Act II and as late as the post game save.
- If the player has more than 800 items in their inventory, the companion selection screen, prior to entering Chateau Haine, will not load as intended and both the player and Tallis will be stuck in Hightown (at night). Be sure to sell/store/destroy any items in excess of this number prior to attempting to venture to Chateau Haine.
