Hmmm... This sounds very similar to the old accounts of the Bioware mass gathering picnic & BBQ. Coincidence?



And congrats to all!

 GS:[/b] Is this alternate-history perspective something that we can expect to see from future BioWare DLC, or is this something that the team regards as more of a fun experiment?RB:[/b] Right now everything's a fun experiment. We're trying a lot of different approaches to downloadable content and getting a lot of experience and insight into what our fans like, what sort of price points they feel comfortable with, what our development costs are, how to leverage downloadable content across different platforms, languages, and regions. It's a little bit of number-crunching, a little bit of magic, and a lot of gut feel. If our fans demonstrate particular support for one type of content over another, however, we'll obviously do our best to provide more of that sort of content in the future.

I think it is a fantastic idea. People on this forum keep complaining about how Patch 1.03 "broke" their game, and other such nonsense.

Nice of you to dismiss other people's inability to play the game as "nonsense". 1064 responses to "Bugs with 1.03 patch", 233,000 results on Google on a search for "Dragon Age Windows 7 crashes", PC World blogging about that very issue in November 2009 (http://www.pcworld.c...dragon_age.html)
... yeah, you are right, it's all nonsense!

While you are happily playing your game some of us are looking longly at the expansion and DLC we have already paid for but are not able to play. Some of us are also doing quite a bit of work testing & providing data in the hopes that this will help Bioware to isolate and FIX the problems. 

This "nonsense" means that even those of us who want to play The Darkspawn Chronicles can't - until the bugs are fixed. Be glad you are one of the lucky ones if you like but other paying customers aren't so lucky.

You have forgotten the 534 responses to the "Awakenings Bugs List (Everyone add for Biowares sake)" which (even without the CTD) were fun breaking enough too ruin completely the replayability of the game (for me).

Even if this DLC seems to be a good idea, I will never buy any additional content before to see the previous one (Awakening) fixed.

LOL! "Kill all the Wardens!"

Well...all = Alistair ;who would be else around? ^

[Greed1914]

I think the best part of the trailer was the May 18 release date.  I wasn't expecting it so soon since this is the first information about it.

This is regarded as a fun DLC...well to hell with it. I am not going to get this just to kill off my DAO companions for fun. If we ever see them again in DA2, how will we feel knowing we massacred them for fun in a previous story. Story?
There is no story. No dialogue. just killing. Lasting about an hour at the most. The taking of Deneirm. As seen through the slits of  darkspawn eyeballs. 
We saw what Denerim looked like through our own eyes. We don't need to be reminded through the very creatures we defeated.
For god's sake, give us what we wanted...a DLC of our companions, not some sick thing about playing as darkspawn.
We don't need this. i certainly don't need it. I will wait for a decent DLC to be released.
I love DAO and to some extent Awakenings. But not cheap garbage like this offering.

BioWare continues to support Dragon Age: Origins

That's cute.

[Shadesofsiknas]

Ill pass on this myself. I dont see the point of content thats story lite to a game like DAO.

[igniss]

Q: Will the DLC come along with a new patch?

[velimirius]

im gonna pass this also,i dont care about darkspawns or "alternate" way of things that would have happen if wardens died. I did not failed and i killed them almost all,so there is no point to play this,you should let out DLC with Leliana not this.

[Xivai]

This is ****ing silly. I have a broken awakenings and origins sitting waiting to be played. I refuse to buy this.

I also wouldn't have bought this ****** poor offering of a DLC anyways. It has no plot relevance. It is a cheap..... something that doesn't even deserve being related to Dragon Age Origins. It's like a horrible spin off that doesn't even count as canon. This essentially means everything your doing is for absolutely nothing. There is no relevance to the main game.

Oooo lets make a "what if Duncan never died DLC" where you go around and slaughter the Archdemon by punching it to death with Duncan's beard. This is ridiculous. You can essentially bombard us in rapid fire pace with sub par content and never ending what if scenarios. If this is the new low your DLC's are going to take I might not be able to support even the full releases of your games.

This is a fiasco.

Edit
I have seen flash games with better premise, gameplay, length and art style that are completely free.

I'll have to say no thanks to this. I have no interest what so ever in playing as something that came from a broodmother. Or in killing off my companion(s).

[Kinvarus]

Well I for one am looking forward to this it's nice to see something different for a change

[Kail Ashton]

Have to say, i do find the concept interesting and...*gasp* fun! for $5 i'm fine ith it, just y'know the ps3 freeze thing needs to be fixed, then the $5 is all yours bioware, balls in your court canuks!

I know you guys may have put some or a lot of work in this next DLC but somehow i feel... uhm.. what to call it... upset.

You're not looking forward to it, don't like the concept of it, and are upset that this is the next DLC, but you're going to pay for it anyway?

I'm not trying to pick on you or anything like that, but that makes no sense...

[ijustwananame1]

Well, doesn't this illustrate the problems of DLC quite nicely?

After thinking about it for a while, I quite like the idea. It's a twist on the story, I get more DA:O, and I get an item for Awakenings. And, for me, the cost is covered by my residual Bioware points. It's something of a no-brainer for me.

Which, clearly, doesn't match the impressions of the majority on this board.

One thing to consider though... for all of those calling for a Leliana / Zevran / Morrigan / whoever DLC ... well, some people are going to be disappointed by whatever choice BW makes. I for one wouldn't buy a Leliana DLC, she bored the hell out of me and I thought she was bland, to say the least. However, I'd buy a Morrigan DLC without hesitation.

It's worth bearing in mind that whatever they release concerning our companions isn't going to be to everyone's taste. With the example above, if they're going to release Leliana DLC before they do anything about Morrigan I'd be disappointed. The Leliana fans would be ecstatic. But whatever, it's horses for courses.

At the end of the day, you can't please all of the people all of the time.

As for the patch, I haven't had any issues. I'm playing on a Mac using Bootcamp to run Windows Vista. I agree, the patch should be produced, but, frankly, to see every thread on DLC or upcoming products hammered by people calling for a patch is frustrating. Many people have had no problems with DA. It's worth bearing that in mind.

And before I get slandered for the previous paragraph... I'm a Mac gamer. You have any idea how long I had to wait for previous BW games?

As for the complaints about "slaughtering our companions" ... well ... we're talking about an RPG here. As an old school table-top gamer who DM'd and played in equal measure, some of my favorite moments came as a DM running NPCs against the party. It's occasionally nice to see the PC crew get its ass kicked.

Essentially, my comment to those saying that this doesn't fit because we've established some sort of history in Thedas is this: That statement flies in the face of good, well thought through RPGs. Nothing should be off limits. Most of us have played multiple playthroughs, so we're aware, and receptive to, the fact that the story can change for our PC. This DLC is just an example of that.

Let the flaming commence.

Good one Bioware. Nice idea to play as darkspawn. Cant wait.

[nikki191]

i was suprised with the announcement for this. i was honestly expecting it to be a leliana dlc which was mentioned on the voice actors website.



i must admit kudos to bioware for originality

[Crell77]
