The exiled prince and Sebastian as a companion doesn't look very interesting to me, so I will pass on him.

The Black Emporium and the Mabari came with my Steam pre-order. I will wait until I see some DLC that looks really cool.

I hope we see something on the level of Darkspawn Chronicles, Return to Ostagar, Witch Hunt, Awakenings, Warden's Keep.

Strike Darkspawn Chronicles  and Witch Hunt from that and I could maybe agree. Both of those DLC were really bad.  Awakenings could have been good if it wasn't so buggy 

Nah, I think DLC along the lines of Lair of the Shadow Broker (I know I know, everyone constantly says this) would go a long ways to getting many fans back on Bioware's side. (for those that left, anyway).

[naughty99]

I had a blast with Darkspawn Chronicles.

Although I wasn't a fan of the ending of Witch Hunt, it was still fun IMO.

[PinkShoes]

i will because Mike Laidlaw said it will be beefier and all about Hawke this time around

But i wont buy it blindly like i would of in DAO (was rubbish DLC most the time anyway ahahaha )

[ScotGaymer]

I wont because the release day DLC i have cos I got the Sid Edition; and future DLC I wont buy because it just wont be enough to save this game from Bad Video Game Hell.

Not that I think its a really bad game; its just there are a number of glaring faults that seriously detract from what enjoyment I could get from this game; and one of Mike Laidlaw's defensive post release interviews dont give me much hope for these flaws getting sorted out.

This game needs to things to become the Bioware game we are all used to, that we pay/paid for, and that we want.
One: The Toolset needs to be released to allow modding.
Two: It needs a proper expansion to repair the chopped up storyline of the 3rd Act and actually extend the game to the full 10 years we were promised.

If it doesnt get these things I fully envisage DA2 dropping off the charts completely, and never recovering.

[Jaldaen]

Although I bought most DLC for DAO and ME2, I'll be passing on DLC for DAII and simply plan on picking all of it up when they put together an "ultimate" edition right before DAIII. It'll probably be a lot cheaper than buying it piece by piece like I have been.

[Darker_than_black]

I will most likely buy it, but it depends a little on what type of DLC it is. I would like to continue the story after the final fight (in other words, after the game ends). The ending is just soo unsatisfying.

But I doubt we will get that. Not as the first DLC anyway, but we shall see.

[Fearsome1]

I thought that 'The Exiled Prince' was worth getting. Sebastian is a cool character, whose personal dynamic is a bit different from the other party members. The quest takes you to a very interesting temple.

[Scnew]

I think I'm going to wait until I see what others say about it. I would have been very annoyed if I had paid for The Black Emporium, and The Exiled Prince really pales in comparison to its equivalent from DA:O.

Unfortunately, I can't picture any DLC that would make me want to play through the game again.

By comparison however, I've played through Origins & Awakenings, Mass Effect 2, many times with all the DLC.

I'm just one person, but I imagine that there's plenty more out there who are so dissatisfied with DA2, that they simply won't bother with any of the DLC, because the base game itself hasn't fulfilled expectations - or even come anywhere near doing so.

No matter how good any DLC is, it just won't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

As the game continues to slide down the charts, this will narrow the scope for revenue from DLC. Hopefully some valuable lessons might be learned from the release of this game, for future releases.

In the meantime, I'm waiting for The Witcher 2, which looks like it will meet and possibly exceed my expectations, as did the first game by CDPROJEKT. I would hope that Bioware and EA Games are looking over their shoulder at what this previously small Polish developer has been doing and perhaps learn a thing or two.

There's no shame whatsoever in admitting mistakes, failure or under-performance, so long as lessons are learned and  things are improved in the future. Bioware as a brand are extremely strong and even though there are people who are very upset with DA2, Bioware can redeem themselves, given the strong loyalty and support they've received from gamers over the years.

Another poor release like DA2 though and the crown will well and truly passed on to other developers.

I realize there are some who dislike the game, but in my case I'm very happy with my DA2 purchase (pre-order on Steam), and I'm discovering that my first playthrough will last around 150 hrs, much longer than DAO.

So far, I have enjoyed the game a bit more than DAO and I expect that there will eventually be some DA2 DLC worth buying.

What is indicating that your playthrough will last around 150hrs? Perhaps you spend a lot of time AFK with the game just running, just saying.

[Lazy Murph]

I'll be buying all the dlc they release for this game, just like I did for DAO, just like I did for both Mass Effects as I really like Bioware games.

DA2 isn't perfect, far from it, but it's not the total failure that some people on this forum seem to think it is.

[Fearsome1]

I have to agree with TJSolo. I see no way in hell that it should take anywhere near 150 hrs to complete a playthrough. All three of mine have run around 30 hours.

my playthroughs take over 100 hours due to the fact that I leave my console running a lot, sometimes while I'm sleeping. If I didn't do that, I'd be between 30-55 hours on DA:O and DA2 playthroughs.

[moilami]

Just today tested Dungeons & Dragons Online and it was much better than DA2.

No way I will pay even a penny of DA2 DLCs. Wasted already 30€ of to sig edition - that shall be enough DA2 for me! And certainly is.

[Gavinthelocust]

If it's quality, DAO's DLC beyond Awakening was utter crap that made playing Witcher seem fun to me. Of course after my curiosity was sated and I knew for sure that anything that involves sex cards doesn't deserve money I went on my merry way with hopes for the next inevitably bad DLC.

[88mphSlayer]

eh... we'll see, i hated most of the DLC for DAO except for darkspawn chronicles

i love all the DLC for ME2 tho, so if it's more like ME2's DLC then i might care

[Kotetsimaru]

I just cannot shake the feeling they are going to pull an Assassins Creed and go....LOOK dlc that takes place in the missing years!

[brightblueink]

It probably depends on the DLC, but if it appeals to me I'll definitely be getting it. I've really enjoyed DA2 so far, so anything that adds any more to the experience will be a welcome treat.

They said they wanted to do that when they first discussed the framed narrative, long before the game was released...

I'm not sure how that works out for characters that have finished the game, though...

[Savber100]

I'll buy a DLC if it looks good and helps to further explain the plot.

If I do buy it and hate it, I'll blame MYSELF for making a bad business choice not Bioware.

Simple as that.

[craigdolphin]

I'm pretty sceptical of the DLC this time around. The ones I enjoyed most from DA:O was probably Leliana's song/Wardens Keep/RTO. But honestly, without an emotional connection to the game, I'm pretty unlikely to shell out $5 - $10 for an hour or two of content. Simply not worth it IMO. And half way through Act 3 I just don't care about the characters this time.

I dunno. This whole thing has soured me on Bioware's direction. Probably going to pass on 'Arrival' for ME2 too.

Darkspawn Chronicles was very good.

Now after DA2 it became epic.

[DarthSliver]

Well I will just wait for the Ultimate edition of DA2 if there is DLC. But id rather Bioware spend their time counting the mistakes of DA2 and be sure to not repeat them as they start DA3. I know the game isnt as bad as some would say but it isnt good enough for DLC. No DLC will fix or redeem DA2 i think in some peoples eyes.
