Your step-by-step guide

As mentioned in our story earlier today, the achievements for "The Exiled Prince", http://www.trueachievements.com/Dragon-Age-II-xbox-360.htm's first DLC were previously unobtainable. While many gamers feared the worst and imagined months of waiting before a patch arrived, Bioware has jumped to the plate in a few week's time and provided a fix.

As detailed in the game's official forum they have posted a new version of "The Exiled Prince" on the marketplace and are advising gamers to delete the DLC off of their hard drive and download the new version.

Before you go running to your hard drive to delete the content, however, keep the following in mind.

The new version should allow the 5 DLC achievements to properly unlock in future playthroughs of the “The Exiled Prince DLC” content. Customers who have previously completed this content will need to replay the content, either via a new game, or by using an save made prior to getting any achievements from this content.According to several forum posters, deleting, downloading and reinstalling the DLC will not affect your current game save, but you will need to start a new playthrough, or reload a save that you made before starting "The Exiled Prince" to get the achievements.

Bioware was also kind enough to give step-by-step directions on how to delete, download and reinstall the DLC.

Uninstalling Old Data:
1. Starting on the Xbox 360 dashboard, go to ‘System Settings’, located on the far, right end of the ‘My Xbox’ section.
2. Choose ‘Memory’.
3. Select the memory device on which the DLC is installed.
4. Choose ‘Games’.
5. Choose ‘Dragon Age II’.
6. Scroll down and choose ‘The Exiled Prince’ Marketplace Content.
7. Select ‘Delete’, then ‘Yes’ to confirm the action.

Installing New Data
1. Press the Xbox Guide button.
2. Scroll right to ‘Settings’ and choose ‘Account Management’, choose ‘Yes’ to confirm.
3. Choose ‘Download History’.
4. Choose ‘The Exiled Prince’ game add-on.
5. Select ‘Download Again’.Once again, as we mentioned earlier, Dragon Age II is currently Amazon.com's Video Game Deal of the Day in the United States and can be purchased for $39.99.

Yes! Time for my anti-mage playthrough. I was putting it off until I knew I'd be able to get these achievements, too.

Ridiculous. That isn't a fix for those of us who have either completed or are near completing DA2 and are unhappy with the game and have no intention of going through it a second time.

The whole thing is just a shambolic mess. 2011 - dlc needs to work, no excuse.

Mass Effect 3 - should we be worried?

Is it just me, or does it strike anyone else as cheap and money-grubbing to post a pay-DLC character at release with attached achievements? The LEAST they could do is wait a month or so to release new achievement bearing DLC. Or just include it in the game for free. Just seems shamelessly greedy to me.

Though broken DLC has been common lately I didn't expect it from DA2. Still, glad they fixed it.

Pretty much every game they put out lately has some chunk of the game that's reserved as a preorder incentive or as something that's locked to anyone who plays the game second hand.
