P.S: I'm kind of hoping it's an expansion.  I mean, if it was simply 2 hour DLC, would BioWare REALLY spend the money to print out advertisements for this DLC and take the time to place it in the DA2 containers?  Makes me wonder.  But don't quote me on that at all, that's just my own speculation.


They spent money and effort to make fliers for the Dragon Age facebook game, I wouldn't it past them to do similar again. Never underestimate marketting.


Like I said, I'm speculating.

I think the scale of advertising should also be considered.

It's either for the DLC, or it could simply be an advertisement for ME2/ME3 in general.  One optimistic choice, one realistic choice.

There use to be a time when games didn't come with DLC, they made a good game and you had to wait a year or two maybe even three and sometimes more for the sequel to arrive


Well they were called expansion packs, and they usually were a lot cheaper and offered more content then "DLC".

We are lucky as it is to get additional content every few months for what is already a completely full high quality game.


True.


FeralEwok wrote...
We all know its coming they have even said as much to us when they could have just denied everything and shut this thread down.


But we don't know when it is coming. Heck they could cancel the whole DLC, and we'd be none the wiser for it. Although that is unlikely, but this has happened with many games in the past.

All it takes is just some paitience, they know what they are doing and when they feel it is best to release the info, I don't think a sudden change of heart fueled by nerd rage telling Bioware that they suck will expedite their announcement.


NO!!!

*Throws Temper Tantrum*

I want my DLC now! It's not fair! Bioware is mean! I don't like them anymore!


But seriously, I understand what you're getting at. Obviously they will release an announcement when they are ready. However that does not change the fact that they have rather blantantly left us in the dark. "A few weeks" is very vague and has already lead to speculation that there would be an announcement at GDC. It could infact be months before they tell us anything. I don't appreciate being given vague timelines like that. I don't see why they couldn't have been a little more specific about when they will tell us more (since they obviously have this planned). It's not like the DLC is a secret anymore, so what's the deal exactly? Frankly I almost would have preferred they not said anything about it at all.

Hopefully they will tell us something at PAX, otherwise I'll feel more or less that I was lied to since it's already been a few weeks. And that certainly doesn't encourage me then to go get the DLC anytime soon.

Guess none of you bought Da2 and got the leaflet? Opened it up at 1am tuesday morning, and saw the exact Arrival leaflet that everyone else did on here. Just says The ARRIVAL HAS BEGUN. N7 at the top and earth looking like it has explosions everywhere. That is it.Alot of hype for a dlc prob 2 hours max

It turns out that all of this is leading up to the cruelest April Fools Day joke in Bioware history.

What is Arrival? Something that takes an eternity to get here. It's apparently all about the LOOOOONG, BORING journey.

I wish I shared your optimism. From memory Lair of the Shadow Broker was announced in late July 2010 before being released in early September.  About 6 weeks. 
 
Worst case scenario, and simply to add another dark cloud, if the current run of comics is in any way linked to the story of Arrival, it's possible that we'll have to wait for the series to be completed, just like Redemption was (January - April 2010) - long before Lair of the Shadow Broker was officially announced in July 2010. 

I'll be extremely happy if it comes out in the near future, but something tells me I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Good point about the comics, hadn't thought of that. However, we did know prior to LotSB's release that the Redemption comic was going to tie into it, right? I'm not seeing how Evolution could possibly relate to Arrival unless it is foreshadowing something. Regardless, I guess I am overly optimistic. I like to think they have something planned for Shepard's birthday.

Many people (myself included) have speculated that the Rho artifact is the same relic that TIM encountered during the First Contact War.

I agree with this speculation. ;)

There's nothing wrong with being overly optimistic Leonia42. :) I would be very happy if your bet turned out to be on the mark.  :police:

People in my country that bought Dragon Age 2 for Xbox 360 didn't get a flyer with the ME2 info on it. I live in Holland...only USA copies have it then?

An announcement and some screens is hardly going to derail things on the DA 2 front now is it? Come on.

I'm getting the feeling ME3 was announced a tad earlier than planned. I mean the paper slip in the DA2 kinda proves that.
