I'm not ashamed to say that I pirated this game, but after seeing the quality and amount of work put into it, I decided to buy it, since you devs deserve it.

However, I'd like to know if my saves are compatible with the legit version f the game.

Thanks.

It depends if your bootleg version is patched to the latest version.

Honestly, if I were a dev and someone said they pirated my game but now wanted to buy it, I'd take it as a huge sign of success.

well some ppl are dumb about piracy, in truth, this is exactly what you want, but most publishers are too stupid to see it. good to see the posters on this board are not getting on a high horse too.

there is a problem w/ savegame compatibility in general but i think it only kicks in IF you use the DLCs & then delete them, so you should be fine

Sure,but people do not like Pirate talk here.

I was doubtful first to admit I pirated the game, and I could just finish the game without buying it, but, this is a great game, with a shit ton of work and high quality, if on top of that you consider that the devs made it DRM free, I think it's a must buy.

it really should work without issues. saves are not back compatible (1.04 saves won't work on 1.03 version of the game) the other way works, and the pirated version should not be different from the legit copies.

so go ahead :)

There is no difference between pirated saves and official ones.
What matters is patches and dlc but afaik they are all forward compatible so should cause no problems.

Assuming you pirated the gog version(as it would be stupid to go and get a crack for a drm free game) it should just be to download and patch everything from your library or install galaxy and add your pirated game to it's list and let it autoupdate everything.

And yay for a pirate seeing the light that is gog!
GoG isn't a reason to stop piracy but it sure is a nice way to show the companies what we want.

i'm not ashamed to say i pirate games as well.

for certain games, even if i pirate it, if it's not to my liking, i'll uninstall it in an hour, for games without a demo at least.

for me, i tried out the evil within, not sure how it pans out with the complains and all, i tried it and bought it within half an hour, season pass and all, can't be that bad eh? (on another note, the executioner DLC is out :D)

I was very hyped about DA:I, I thought it was going to be THE game, but, after playing it for around an hour, it just... didn't work, something was missing, it was a dull game.

And I was very close to buy it.

I'm using the FTL (Fairlight) release, not sure if it's GOG or not.

i was so disappointed with DAI. my friend who's in the industry actually gave me the game. played for 5hrs and i just can't get into the story, i just gave up.

i've played DA2 8 times over because i loved it so much but DAI was so disappointing, the threads on my underwear burst

I was the kind of person who always pirated games too, but the witcher, psychonauts, skyrim, and other games made me change my mind, after finishing those games, specialy the first witcher game, I really wanted to buy them, but in my country we had to pay more than twice the US retail price for a game, then I finally got a visa card, got paypal, first thing i do is buy the first witcher game, and preorder the witcher 2, and now with gog and steam discounts i have no excuses to not buy a game.
