Well the fact they brought this out instead of a fix for the patch and other problems is good indication one is NOT coming, nor do they see the need. Bioware is not getting another nickle from me until they do. That goes for any future bioware titles also. This is probably a tool they used to test da:o before launch and they decided to add content and sell it.

I don't think i'll be buying this one, as much as I love Dragon Age, I don't think this is the right direction, I think I'll just wait for DA:2

Agreed, I love DA:O,  but I didn't buy awakenings and won't buy be buying this either.. Glad the forums are here it has saved me from wasting money by buying something blind, before learning about a new dlc first.

i'm not a big fan of DLC especially DLC that really buggy. i got awakening it was a good expansion(short but still good) but the game had some real glitches. so im avoiding the dlc unless they ever decide to put on disk.

This is precisley why it annoys me so much because Bioware refuses to indicate if they're in the process of making a new patch or not. For some reason, they choose not to say "yes" or "no" - which I don't understand why.

I've pretty much lost my faith in Bioware. Shame too, they were the best for so long, oh well guess they had to fail sooner or later. For those still blindly loyal, I hope the new dlc is no more than $5.00.... But I have a sneaking suspicion it's going to be like $40.00 or so.




Seriously buying anything blind is just bad idea do your research that your job as consumer. if you think you going to find dlc for 5.00 good luck only thing you find that cheap is custom pack. bioware is currently doing 3 AAA projects so im not really suprise dragon age is not being patch right away

WTF do you mean "right away". It has been over six months and the useless ****ing money grubbing ****s have not even bothered to fix any of the bugs that came with DA:O for the Xbox on release day! And yet, they can ****ing patch a PS3 problem in two weeks. **** BW!

There seems to be lot of complaining that a patch will not be released prior to the launch of this DLC. I suppose Bioware could release a patch before this DLC is released, and then immediately release another patch to fix bugs caused by the new DLC. Personally, I would prefer that Bioware save their resources from performing double rework, and issue ONE patch in June.

Over the past several months, I have seen several requests to be able to play Darkspawn as a character. This darkspawn role seems to appeal to many fans (including myself), and will be a great addition to the lore and understanding the "psych" of the darkspawn.

I will eventually download this DLC, but I will let the guinea pigs that buy this on release day do the real beta testing. Similarly, I will not download any patch within the first week of release (I did not use the 1.03 patch until I started Awakenings a few days after it was released. It is nice being an early adapter and all, but it is usually not a good idea to buy a car in its first year of manufacture or buy software before the 1st service pack or patch is released.

It is a mute point for me now, as I finished DAO and Awakening, and am busy resuming my playthrough of BG2 that I stopped when DAO was released. I immensely enjoyed DAO and Awakening, and I only experienced a handful of minor bugs that prevented me from completing a few sidequests. I did experience lag issues in heavy combat, but it was not game breaking. I also experienced long opening times between areas, but that could easily be resolved by taking 30 seconds to reload the game. I think I only expereinced one or two crashes during my many hours of playing DAO on PC with ancient but reliable Windows XP.

Finishing BG2 will be a nice change of pace before I do another playthrough of DAO ... after I play the Darkspawn Chronicles, of course.

That's not the problem. The problem is that they said the same thing last month......and a month before that......and a month before that, etc. etc. At what point do you back up and say, "Wait a minute. I call BS!" If Bioware truly cared about support, they would take all those people creating new content and put them to work on the issues this game has had since launch. We're not whining two weeks down the road here. THIS IS SIX MONTHS! Do you get that? Can you read it? Six months! That's completely insane.

All you have to do is look in that thread you linked and 100's of others to see that many many people have reached the end of their patience. And rightly so. The "don't worry, just be patient, they'll fix it" mentality might have held some weight at one point but now.....are you serious?

Interesting change of direction. I am curious to see how this new DLC plays out.  I love games that give multiple perspectives. Obviously I am not expecting a riveting and epic story from a $5 add-on but its a nice break from usual heroics in Ferelden.:wizard:

And on a less serious note... Broodmother romance... Hecks ya!:wub:
*queues DAO camp romance music*

Actually I believe it is a separate module. Kind of like Awakening. And when you unlock a certain achievement, it triggers a script that spawns the Blightblood sword in the main campaign and Awakening. Kinda like how the specializations unlocked are stored in the profile data.

Agreed, they've been giving us that line for six months and no fixes, not to mention the only time we see them in the forums is when they need us to buy dlc or vote for them. The fact that they've said the same thing for months, then never produced any fixes makes me think it's all just PR to get us to buy more stuff. Just saying "we're working on it" so buy our dlc and maybe we'll give you some fixes just doesn't cut it after six months, especially when they still haven't given us any real fixes and always seem to disappear again after the dlc is released.

Cmon things aren't that bad. Bioware always tries everything they can to make the overall experience better. The way people make it sound is as if they are trying to screw us over but we all know that's not true. I know everyone is frustrated with the glitches in dragon age but that's no need to blow a top off. Creating games is hard and takes time. Fixing one bug can make 10 more bugs to appear out of the air in a second much harder to crack than the first.

We all love bioware (you can't deny it) so we should enjoy what we get and send them cookies for their hard work.
Just accept things and smile :D

Yes, lets enjoying having so many game breaking bugs that we buy even more DLC thats game breaking and bugged too. Let's pile it all on so I can't even play the game anymore, that sounds like a fun experience. Maybe I'll hit level 10 this time, how exciting. Oh, or how about another bug that prevented me from even getting to the point of hitting the camp for the first time? **** yeah I'll buy this DLC so I can't even play it!
