Concur on the Zevran grounds. . . but unless Orlais is featured in almost as much importance as the chatty monkey - Leliana, pardon me - I think i'd rather eat for a week than shell out for another DLC. :{

Whose main audience is in North America? Are there figures about how many copies have been sold on every country?

It seems that the Czech Republic have a way with uncovering Bioware's secrets because this is also where the Awakening expansion was leaked from.

Anyway, this DLC sounds a bit more promising than the other efforts as it expands the story of one of the most interesting characters in the game instead of offering one more hour of hack & slash.

No thanks. I've not bought anything since the Feastday Pack and I've no plans to change that. Yet.

I still can't understand how could so many people buy the Feastday Pack...

[Brockololly]

I'll likely wait and see how its received. If its a new area like Warden's Keep and not just a re-used setting, I'll be all over it. Its priced at $7 so if thats anything to go by, it should be more in tune with Warden's Keep versus RtO or DC.

Impulse buy, one which I quickly regretted.

[Sarkus]

Yay! This is the kind of DLC I've been hoping for - something that adds to the main story in a meaningful way.

[Mich-cz]

Let's hope it will be good when Leli is in there - I am still waiting for some really great DLC since launch and ME2 has already two (not counting Shale and Wardens Keep since those came few days within launch and Ostagar with Darkspawn chronicles were only reused areas) .

[bronxchulo]

Cool i'll be getting this. i would however really really really love to see a Zevran DLC. i think he has the best backround coming from a **** house.



Others i would like to see would be, Wynee, Sten, Morrigan, Allister, all heck just give us all of the charas DLC lol

[Onyx Jaguar]

I dunno, in that sentence I was talking about EA"s audience in general. Majority of their share holders and revenue are in North America. I don't doubt that most of their sales came from North America though, I doubt Western Europe or Oceania beat out the U.S. and Canada in sales for DA:O.

It's those wily czech bards seducing Bioware employees.

i'm all for fair and stuff, but are you seriously going to try and make the case that a tiny country outsold a continent? a continent where the publisher's hq is?

This new DLC was recently announced on E3 a it should deal with story behind Leliana's past.
Can't Wait

Edit: Now, it's official
http://social.biowar...4/index/2899778

Assume the role of Leliana, a young bard involved in a criminal ring
that deals in political secrets. Accompanying her mentor Marjolaine on a
high-risk mission, Leliana soon finds herself entangled in a game of
intrigue that she cannot escape with just her beauty, charm, or stealth.
The only way out of this game is to kill or be killed.

For more info, go http://dragonage.bioware.com/addon/

More trash, I see 

For heavens sake! Why in the hell doesn't Bioware put out some expansions or DLC that actually continue with our Warden's story (properly) after DA:O. I would assume by the garbage they are releasing they simply will continue to make a mockery out of DA:O and will continue to release utter rubbish. That's just brilliant

That tiny country happens to be part of the EU which is a common market that is twice as big as the US. There is hardly any evidence to suggest that EA and Bioware enjoy higher sales in America than in Europe.

Well, so this is what Corinne Kempa was talking about.



I'm looking forward to this one. A prequel might not continue the story of our Wardens, but provides backstory for our companions. I know I've complained about recent DlC (FeastDay, DC) but this one sounds quite good.



And yes, for fans of the other chars., I'm totally down with the idea for doing prequels for the others, whether it be Zevran or Shale. Let's not get into wars over which one they decided to do first; nothing rules out that they might do others.



As for those complaining about no patch while releasing DlC -- and I was in your ranks -- they've said they're working on it.



I'm getting this one come July 6th. Thanks Bioware for again releasing something that appeals to your traditional fanbase.

Yep, this is just the ticket. More backstory on Leliana should be very interesting, as well as giving us a glimpse of Orlais. And since it uses only one of the main actors, it's cost effective as well, making it more likely that we might see these for all the characters. Me, I want to know what Alistair was doing in the Bannorn during Awakening.

I'll tell you what, instead of making you look like a fool for be completely wrong I'll give you a chance to retract your statement. Or if you prefer I'll glady post the evidence you say is hardly there.

[Busomjack]

I hope there is lesbian romance in the game.

[CybAnt1]

Well, Marjolaine will apparently be in the DlC, although it's not clear if it's just to give some orders at the beginning, or to accompany her on some bardic missions.



So yes, one assumes we will see more of their previous ... relationship.

[Busomjack]

Does this mean the DLC is going to take place in Orlais? If so this will be the first time we see anything Dragon Age that is outside of Ferelden.(not counting the fade)

I highly doubt it, like I said in the official thread I don't see them revealing Orlais, one of the more talked about and anticipated places, through a simple DLC. I don't see them spending much time creating a completely new area for a DLC and the fact it's not listed as a feature also helps dismiss the idea. My guess is it's either back in Ferelden or some generic unnamed Orlesian place close to Ferelden. But there is no chance we see Val Royeaux or the likes.

Just because you don't like the idea doesn't mean it isn't worth doing for those that do; there is that mysterious DA related release scheduled for February 2011 that may well be something you might want.
