Wow in all the overreactions I've seen on this forum ever this takes the cake as the most ridiculous. Its essentially a day one patch, why is it that big a deal.
A day one patch? Really? Bioware was in such a hurry to get the game out of the door, that an integral part of the game data itself was not ready and thus, we have to download who knows how many gigabytes of data additionally on Monday. A launch day patch is something that fixes bugs and gameplay errors that have been found between the game going gold and hitting the street. A launch day patch it is not, if it adds stuff that was already supposed to be on the disc that you bought from the store (not the mention the endless milking of Disc Locked Content).
The stuff that game companies are allowed to get away these days.... sheesh, it's appaling. To the people claiming that Bioware is awesome due to them releasing this texture files at all and for free and not as a DLC- get a clue, will you? If you want your game to sell, you cater to every market and platform. Releasing 1:1 console ports is not that and if Bioware has any self-respect left after all this, then I hope they learn their lesson. They should have pushed back the release of the PC version a few weeks, given us maximum possible graphics and then released the game with the feedback from consoles as a launch day bugfix patch.
Well, it's your opinion, I very much prefer being able to play during the March 8th release date, rather than having a delayed game, just because my Hawke and his family home can look sharper.
Obviously Bioware did not tend to the PC version upgrades until after the game was gone gold for consoles, but still, there's no use in complaining about the textures not being included, because if they delayed the game for that, then there would be some PC gamers complaining about how they got screwed and now have to wait a few days or a couple of weeks longer than console players.
Lastly, there are no rules that say high-res textures must be included in a new game, it's just common sense that all available video settings should be selectable with any copy purchased on release day. So, yes, I agree, they should have included the texture pack in the retail PC copies, but they didn't, but why bother complaining about such a trivial matter which has no hindrance on how the game plays? At the very least, they are releasing it, and free of charge of course. However, if Bioware does this repeatedly or charges for this sort of "upgrade" in the future, then there is a legitimate reason to complain.
Texture pack pros:
1. It exists
2. It's free
3. It releases before the game does
4. The game looks better with it
5. It's not compulsory
Texture pack cons:
1. It's not included in the full retail game
2. Users must manually download and install
