You can literally be done with Wardens keep and/or the stone prisoner DLC quests in half an hour or less

$15 for  < 30 mins of gameplay = insane

I hope that the future DLC for DAO is longer , going into at least 2+ hours territory minimum

I mean they do know how to make a quest drag on forever , they proved this with the main story quests so I know they can do it again in DLC quests but the question is : Will they?

Personally I hope they add tons of new side-quests I can do. Oh, and of course lots more equipment I can hoard.

Is that a GOOD thing?

I don't know?

Only other EA game I have is Rock Band 2 , which they do quite a good job on DLC really

I'll point out that the Stone Prisoner is much, much more than the simple quest you have to get Shale. It included all of Shale's unique abilities, party banter as well as its personal quest which comes later. Integrating Shale seamlessly into the entire game was a huge task -- well worth the price (if you didn't buy the game new and get it for free).



As for the $7 for Warden's Keep, I'd say that's a fair price for a decent-sized adventure. Anything larger than that and you're talking expansion -- which is certainly possible, DLC or no DLC. No doubt there could be smaller stuff made available as well, and all of it will be priced accordingly I'm sure. Whether or not you think expansions or DLC content are worth the cost is, I imagine, up to you as always.

People complain about EA so much it's starting to become a chant I hear every time I turn my computer on. No one can explain why, but since everyone is saying it, everyone will keep thinking it.

Oh Shale has his own sidequest like everyone else then? I may invest in trying to get him to like me then

im sure they will, you gotta remember, we are lucky at all that they are already offering extra DLC's right at the release of the game, most other game syou have to wait months before they add on little DLC's

EA is much improved these days. In the old days, the EA hate was well-deserved, but not so much anymore. People are too stubborn to see that EA isn't what it used to be.

Just so, here, I'll share my cookie with you. You show great promise!

QFT, they were once one of the really great ones, then they turned into the evil overlords of gaming, in the last few years they've started to find their way back into the light (Though from what I hear they're still horrible taskmasters if you're employed with them).

I've been hearing this 2 years of DLC thing around alot...is it verified? I know a BioWare member posted info about it in this thread, and that should be proof enough, but I never actually saw a post or anything about it :?

They've built a mighty fine castle here, BioWare, and I have no doubt that they'll love to fill it with lots of fantastic things too. I know that I would.

In all fairness, that doesn't mean a lot (Similar promises were thrown around for ME, for example), but at least it's verified they PLAN on doing it.

EDIT: I hope we see something more along the lines of NWN premium modules, admittedly I never had a chance to play them (I abandoned NWN because the original game, frankly, sucked, and now that I'd be willing to give the premium modules a try they are no longer available), but their reception was overwhelmingly positive and according to most, the prices were fair...

Whats questionable really is what the DLC is and how often DLC will come out for the game



If the DLC is all 30 min quests like it has been then it better be released on a weekly/bi weekly basis or something



If the DLC includes epic story expansions then I guess its ok if they are spaced out a bit more



I would like it if DAO gets at least 1 DLC item every month for the next 2 years , that would be cool

just try to remember not all DLC's will technically be from bioware itself, thanks to the toolset anyone can make content, so also be sure to keep your eyes on the projects section, theres already a nice add for a storage chest in your camp. Save those gems and elfroot and and whatnot kiddies, theyw ill come in handy after you get 1 or more of those treaties to donate to the armies, i love how donating money to the red-cliffe guys gives you some MASSIVE XP

Wouldn't user created content be PC exclusive?



Donating money to redcliffe really gives XP? I wanted the lvl 20 rogue acheivement but barely missed it



Though I now have like 200 gold to "waste" if that does work

Haha, I'm on the same boat as Tonya777. Mere millimeters away from the lvl 20 rogue achievement and I beat the game. I've actually already donated 30 gold to the Redcliffe peeps. No exp :/

On the 360 btw

Warden's Keep adds more than the questline itself. It adds 2 new merchants and a ton of new items, including a couple rare swords and unique armour/robes plus the 2 new abilities for each class.



Overall, playing it once is pretty short but if you're replaying the game more than once as there's various outcomes to the WK quest. $7 iis a bit much but DLC always has extremely inflated prices.

I tried donating stuff to them prior to hearing this



I clicked to donate 30 gold like 5X in a row and then nothing happened except it acted like I donate the 30G once and nothing happened



So I figured it was a waste of money and reloaded



I turned of my Xbox 360 for the night so I'll try again tommorow

Just buy a bunch of elfroot from the Dalish camp and put it in their box. Every 99 elfroot rewards you with some ridiculous 1000+ amount of XP. You can use it to get to level 25 pretty early in the game that way.

W00t? Off to help the Dalish in their preparations then!
I mean... 99 Elfroot in the Dalish camp cost something like... 1 Sov? 2?
