Stealing the text for this post from this tumblr post of a fellow beta tester because it's concise and explains pretty much everything you need to know.

It's live now?

[rose_in_shadow]

Check but I believe that it will go live when the BW folks get to work this morning.

[itches]

Check where? Where is Keep?

I'm so far on the outside of this I can't even remember where it is. I know I poked it when they first announced it just to make sure my Origin account worked, but that was ages ago.

Will your Dragon Age: Inquisition playthrough decisions be directly imported into the Keep, or will you have to go back and select them again?

If you are online while playing Dragon Age: Inquisition (or the next time you go online), your story choices will be sent to the Keep

1) Yes, you just need to be online once to import your Keep data into the game (it's a button on the keep), then you can go offline

'3b) This question was asked and I think the answer is that you can't. Once it's loaded in, it's set. Otherwise you'd get tons of bugs from invalid decisions conflicting with each other.

I clearly don't have enough information to understand what you're saying. I'm also making a whole bunch of assumptions as to how the keep works, some of which I'm willing to bet are wrong. The solution to both of those is simple. Wait and have a look for myself.

But in the meantime I'll rabble-rouse to keep myself amused.

From what I understand, when you load up DAI, it'll ask you which world state you want to import.

This in incorrect. You choose which world state to use by clicking "Export to Inquisition" in the keep. Then, once in game (and while online), select the "use active world state" option when starting a new game.

Just a couple of other FAQs not covered above:

What does Cullen's friendship tile mean?

No one knows for sure, but it's assumed that particular tile will simply reflect how Cullen speaks of the Champion in DAI. On the Keeper forums, people have reported that Cullen is generally pleasant to Hawke and maybe a tad friendlier if you take the time to speak with him in every Act, but there's no one moment where you become Cullen's friend or enemy in DA2. He will always defend Hawke against Meredith.

The Keep won't let me have Nathaniel alive and do Yehven's quest at the same time!

These two quests are mutually exclusive. If Nathaniel is alive in DA2, you don't get Yehven's quest. You only get that quest ("Fool's Gold") if Nathaniel died in Awakenings.

The Keep won't let me have ____ at the Landsmeet even though that's what I did in the game!Alistair is tied to so many variables that he frequently causes issues in the logic solver. First, check that the ending you think you remember is indeed possible by checking the Landsmeet Outcomes

'They are looking to implement that, but it won't be before game launch. '

Well I guess that makes the decision of which character to play first a lot easier.

[rose_in_shadow]

Well, it's been stated by the devs that the Warden won't appear in DAI. If the Hero is referenced at all, it'll likely be as that "The Warden" or the "Hero."

Stands to reason that the Orlesian Warden wouldn't get referenced at all for playing a comparatively minor role.

[itches]

Yeah, but the inability to import a dead warden isn't awakening always bothered me. I was looking forward to being able to "insert" that stuff into the chain of characters.

Also, I never did figure out what happens if you import an Orlesian warden into DA2.

[tov01]

Do I have to pay to use the Keep?

Are people seriously still asking this? Why would they charge for this, anyway? It boggles my mind.

[rose_in_shadow]

Maybe they think it's some sort of DLC?

A lot of people have seemed to think that you need to download it to make it work.

And how much does it cost?
