Well, if the DLC are more like the ones for ME2 then hose for DA:O, then maybe, I'm not a big DLC fan though.

[BeefoTheBold]

Not a chance.

Spending more money on this game will feel like paying extra for a complete original title.

Right now I feel like I paid Special Limited Edition price for the PC version to be a beta tester on an unfinished product. I almost certainly won't pay out a single red cent for any future DLC for Dragon Age 2. If it is hinted that the DLC will contain critical storyline updates (similar to how it was hinted with Witch Hunt) then I will read reviews first to determine if Bioware has finally gone back to making QUALITY releases and, if not, I'll just google for the storyline updates.

Subpar releases by this once Gold Standard company have brought me here whereas previous to releases like Awakenings, Witch Hunt, Arrival and DA2, I preordered and bought everything that Bioware released without any thought whatsoever given.

[Phaffner]

No way in hell, payed to much as it is for it.

[Cutlass Jack]

Depends on what it is. If its Feastday gifts, then no. If its a dlc on the level of 'Lair of the Shadow Broker' then hell yes.

But unfortunately most DLCs for Origins were pretty lackluster and featured more recycled content than this game. Retconning Leliana's Song to take place in Denerim was particularly painful, but at least storywise it was better than Witch Hunt.

If the DLCs add some content and are made well, absolutely. If they are just costume or weapon packs, not a chance.

[Boombox]

For me anything after DA:O wasn't worth spending money on.. Everything seemed to go down hill when they released Awakening.
I really hope the DA2 DLC is atleast ME2 quality because I won't be bothering with it otherwise. I'll be waiting for reviews before I buy anything DA related now.

I think I'm pretty much done with Dragon age saga. It's so recycled that it's not fun to explore it any further. I don't care if the next game is in Orlai or Anderfeldt or whatever grim or beutiful scenery it's. I'm just so tired of it all. I'm just waiting for ME3 and hopefully BIOWARE will create some new worlds in the future.

This is just my thoughts how about you guys?

I'm on the fence. I'm flatly not interested in any more content set in Kirkwall - I've had enough of the same environments and the go-nowhere plot that, unlike ME2's DLCs, I really couldn't care less what happened in the damn place. I've cleaned out enough gangster hovels and killed enough rogue mages to last a lifetime.

If it were set elsewhere I could be interested - with the proviso that the DLC effectively added everything that was missing in DA2 - i.e. an interesting story that takes place other than in a generic city and has some point to it. As it stands, I'm not particularly interested in the Dragon Age world anymore if this is all it's got to offer.

[Shatterkiss]

I won't be buying any DLC for DA2 unless they go back and fix at least some of the design flaws. I might get DA3, if it's more like DA2. I certainly won't be preordering it though.

[mousestalker]

Do I want to spend more money on the game? Of course not. I'd love for a never ending stream of lovely, free DLC's to issue forth from Bioware, preferably on a weekly basis.

That isn't likely to happen. If they release a well reviewed DLC, I'll more than likely buy it. As with anything else, I'll not be buying a pig in a poke.

In DA2 they look just awful and not much authentic almost like a cartoon style. The Elves just looks like a morph of nosferatu+avatar+ratman. 

That's precisely why I vote for DA:O DLC ;-)

I don't think DAO DLCs sold that well -- they were discontinued a year earlier than originally planned which most likely wouldn't have happened had they been selling well.  I thought it was obvious that the game had changed direction by the whole, hmmm, different feel of the DLCs/Awakening.

As far as would I buy DA2 DLCs?  It really would depend on the DLC.  They're not automatic buys for sure (I learned my lesson after preordering Awakening and the feast day gifts/pranks).  But if they are well received, I'll try the first one, and if it is a step down in quality as DAO DLCs were, then I won't buy another.

I think the game could be improved by DLCs, though, so I'm hoping something good gets released.

Honestly? It all depends on the quality of DLC or expansions. Mind, the problem is not DA2 in itself. The problem was the really poor quality of DA:O's DLC (except day 1 dlcs that were good) and the mediocre quality of Awakenings (another rushed job). I was not satisfied with those purchases (especially the DLCs) and I want to wait and read some review before I give my money to Bioware. I will buy DLCs only if they are on LotSB/Overlord quality level.

Personally, I would love a DA2.5. IE: a new game that show us what DA2 could have been if devs have the proper time to develop it while continuing Hawke's storyline.

[Pygmali0n]

Absolutely not. Style, gameplay, story, depth, graphics (apart from a few textures) all dropped spectacularly in DA2. It's like DA:O is the sequel to DA2.

I'm even avoiding other EA games - I have plenty of other interests, and I don't have to upgrade from Fight Night 4 or Fifa 10 on my PS3 and can easily quash curiosity about Dead Space 2. Have pre-ordered the W word, seems promising, but even if the game doesn't stack up that company has real ambition and should be supported.

As for DA3 or any further Thedas game - the developers would have to do an about turn and start talking up DA:O and old school RPGs. Then I'd wait for player reviews and a few sites that I now know can be trusted.

I like new improvements - only they have to be exactly that - new improvements - and not fancy words for limited time, budget and talent - nor pandering to a different audience the devs have little experience with and will never win over - if you want to broaden your audience make something good.

I guess they had to put more resources on DA2 and that's why no more DLC's were made. But hey, they were right, Witch Hunt was a prelude to what DA2 is: an unfulfilling experience.

[MorrigansLove]

Aha, spend more money? On Dragon Age 2? Hell no.

[T-0pel]

Here is a question. Why does FedericoV start every anwser with: "Honestly?" :-D

If it's an expansion sized package, oh yes.

Quest DLC? Depends on what they are about.

Item, Appearance etc. Packs? No.

Agreed. Same here.

[Rawgrim]

I doubt I will be spending any more money on this game. Not even on an expansion pack.

[Nicnacman]

Absolutely yes.

If the DAO DLCs were turning a good profit, they would have had the resources to continue them.  There's no one that stupid in business who thinks, "Wow, these are selling really well and making us quite a bit of money.  Let's discontinue them."

Edit: Well, perhaps there are people that stupid, I don't know.  But you don't discontinue making things that are making money -- that hurts the bottom line.  You discontinue making them if they're not as profitable as you hoped.  It really would stand to reason that DA2 had a different budget than DAO.  And if they were actually combined, that would be more reason to think that the DAO DLCs were doing poorly.

But again, if the DA2 DLCs are well received, and they look interesting to me, yes, I'll buy it.

If the DLC doesn't recycle the copy and paste areas, it is fully voice acted, allows all current henchmen in the party, is not combat only, has a great story with proper choices, and the 100+ bugs are fixed, then I'll consider it. I rather have an expansion than a DLC, but seeing that a lot of people don't have much trust in the franchise right now I think BW first has to create a really good DLC to get the customers' confidence in the product back.

[Kimberly Shaw]

Only if you guys tell me it's worth it. The DLC for DAO was brutally poor (why couldn't we go back inside Warden's Keep? WTF was that decision made for? Can hang out in the snow outside tho!--and don't get me started on Witch Hunt. Worst DLC of all time?)

So if they produce content that you guys say is decent and worth playing, then yes. I've learned my lesson in the Gaider-world to heed reviews before pre-purchasing anything else.

[dielveio]

Wait.
Spend MORE money on DA2? HELL NO!
Maybe Mass Effect 3, PC version, will be my last bioware game.

[neppakyo]

Dear Bioware/EA;

No more effing DLC's. Concentrate on making a full game first, and patch any bugs. Then maybe a year down the road make an expansion, or add-ons for a "Gold/Diamond/Ultimate" version.

In conclusion, F*ck DLC's. Thank you.
