I'm new to PC gaming so I could be simply missing something easy here, and I've been working crazy hours last two days so I haven't had time to check the internet for any answers, but I thought I'd throw this up here and maybe get an answer or two by the time I check these boards later. So my question remains: did DAO screw me out of the armor now? Did I make the mistake of redeeming the code too early and now because of the storyline it sorta glitched me out of my armor? Anybody else experience this? Any workaround to this? To my disappointment, the first thing I did was check my inventory to see if the game at least kept my Blood Dragon Armor there, but it was no longer there!
My character is eventually released from prison with nothing but a shield and sword. Anyways, the storyline progressed to a point where my character was thrown in prison and stripped of everything I had accumulated up until that point.
When I started my game I had the Blood Dragon Armor in my inventory but I wouldn't be able to use it until I had my strength at 35, so I know it'd be some time until then, but I did have it sitting in my Inventory. Anyways, I ended up playing the game as a Warrior Dwarf and I chose the Noble story as my Origins Background. So as soon as I bought my copy of DAO, one of the first things I did was redeem my codes that came in the box for the Blood Dragon Armor and the code for the Unleash the Fury of Shale.
