"Secret of the Norns" DLC is now given with EP6

[Sea Author]

"Secret of the Norns" is a Winter Voices DLC that was given as part as the 2011 summer sales.

From now, Secret of the Norns will be available for all players that bought EP6 (Falls).

Many players asked for it, and we believe that 2 years later it's ok to give it to everyone that bought the whole season.

Yes!!! Thanks. So when you begin a new game, the dlc will be available? I just recently started a new game, for volva's.

The DLC can activate for any game before EP1. The starter of the quests is at the beginning of EP1.

O.k.

Where exactly do the Norn quests activate? In what episodes and at what parts? I need to rerun it and get the achievements since they bugged out when I tried doing the Norn Quests four months ago.

Bug Post!

A lot of the times the Norn quest is bugged for me. When I walk on the tiles for the Norns in Chapters before Chapter 5 nothing happens. Or in Chapter 5, the tile triggered a dialogue that was completely frozen/blank that I could not exit and I have to reload a save file in order for the problem to go away.

Another problem would be in Winter Voices II where if you walk on a Winter Voices tile, it does not grant you another teleport refresh. This makes it impossible to win the map in under 18 turns for the achievement.

I'm having issues with the if I Were A Carpenter achievement. A lot of times if you simply get the 140% you will get the achievement, but I abused my summons to the point where I survive well beyond the 40th turn (getting something like 335% success). At that point the map becomes overwhelmed with enemies that the game freezes and needs to be forces to shut down. I can't end it earlier because I have Void Wanderer (with a 30k shield), like 7k intuition from Sad Truth, and five extra turns from We Come From the Shadows. I think this issue should be addressed.

Some mild problems:

Sometimes skills that you click right before a dialogue go on cooldown before you can use them. This is especially problematic with one time skills or long cooldown skills such as Imaginary Friend or Blaze.

The Imaginary Friend dialogue gives descriptions of the buff in certain dialogue choices in French (Volonte, etc.). This isn't much of a problem in gameplay, but it is an eye sore.

In encounters with large amounts of enemies like Desert III sometimes the enemies don't spawn making it impossible to complete certain objectives.

Specifically in before Desert III and after Desert II if one saves then reloads a save file there, you get set back 2 or 3 levels, meaning if you're level 31, the game will hiccup and put you back to 29 for some reason. This is extremely detrimental in Desert III as the challenge is almost impossible without enough PP you get from those extra levels. Unless you saved before the Desert II encounter, this makes it very difficult to get 100% on Desert III.

The Romance Skills for all my companions come out as weird ♥♥♥♥ed up texts with blank placeholer skills as buffs near my character profile during an encounter. I'm not sure if its possible to reach full romance before Chapter 6, but I've tested it on every single Chapter before Chapter 6 and that happens.

My game version is: Gold 30-aout-2013 r6468. It's not the normal Gold 30-Oct-2013. This doesn't seem to be messing up my game at all, although I'm convinced that this is a bug.

All your problems are coming from you not having the right version of the game. This is a known steam bug.

You should delete your whole winter voices steamapps directory and reinstall from scratch !

Will Secret of the Norns show up in the DLC listing or is it an update that doesn't have a DLC entry in Steam? Because I only have Eps 1-6 listed as my DLCs.

[Sea Author]

It's no longer showing in the DLC entry. You have it baseline. ;)
