I like free DLC better, especially when your fan-base seems to be put off a bit, it might have been a good PR move...

People @ the old Motivational Posters thread called this crap ^^

Can we get a recent BioWare official confirmation on this?

Shh! You'll be categorised as one of those entitled sorts if you keep this up.

Hey Bioware, if you're running out of ideas how you can nickel and dime your customers I got something for ya. Since the loading screens are one of the better parts of DAII you could make the loading screens in DAIII boring as hell with a long wait and then sell us nice loading screens as a DLC. If you're feeling generous you could even include faster loading times in the DLC. You'd make a killing

You're welcome.

If someone already posted this then my apologizes...

The folks at BioWare have announced the latest downloadable content for their recently released Dragon Age 2. If you were hoping for epic dungeons, well, keep hoping, as this DLC is an item pacl for both your character and companions. The contents are as follows:

    Mage Pack: Receive relics and mementos of untold power for use by your Mage and Mage followers.

Features:

        * A powerful staff that improves as you level up.
        * Two all new armor sets for high and low level players.
        * Three follower items for Anders, Bethany, and Merril that improve as they level up.

    Rogue Pack: Become a dealer of death with new equipment for your Rogue and unique items for Rogue followers.

Features:

        * A set of deadly daggers and an enchanted bow, both which improve as you level up.
        * Two all new armor sets for high and low level players.
        * Three follower items for Isabella, Sebastian, and Varric that improve as they level up.

    Warrior Pack: Lay waste to your enemies with this collection of arms, armor and accessories for your Warrior and Warrior followers.

Features:

        * Two deadly two-handed swords for high and low level players.
        * A lethal one-handed axe and shield combo that improves as you level up.
        * Two all new armor sets for high and low level players.
        * Three follower items for Aveline, Carver, and Fenris that improve as they level up.

Boy this is almost as bad as the horse armor.

Assuming 1 million players buy the set ...do you really think it the amount of work time that was put in it is worth $5 million? Hell even if you only charge $1 and only 50,000-80,000 people buy it that's enough to pay a programmer's salary for a year.

I miss the good old day where additional PC DLC would be release for free to encourage more people to purchase the game(Thank goodess Portal 2 is keeping that trandition).  Now it feels like a microtranaction game even after you already paid the full price for the game.

Only if by 'most' you mean the one suit of armor you listed. All the other suits are completely new both in model and texture.
As for the accessory items, only pc-using idiots can make them in the editor.

Thats cause its too hard for those intellectual stunted console button mashers to do

Anyone else amused this topic that is full of negativity towards this DLC is stickied? If I read this topic, I would be put off to buy any of this DLC instead of buying it. What the **** is going on?

[snackrat]

That DLC appears to do nothing that modders haven't already done WITHOUT the toolset. :/

What are the companion items...? Weapons that now level up? Sunnie made a mod for that already (the only downside being she decided to swap models around for some reason, so they no longer look unique). Or their own special rings and belts? How lazy, they don't even change the characters' looks in the slightest. That's just cheap. The fact that they even bothered to make it seems ridiculous.

I bought all the DLC for DAO, and bought all the DLC (barring outfits) for ME2, but DA2 is looking ridiculous. And I'd been trying to forgive it.

EDIT! Someone got screenshots showing aesthetics of the new gear. Worth paying through the nose? You decide:

I can not believe Bioware just went there.

You do realise that as far as charging for the content, that is up to Microsoft. Bioware don't really get a say in it.

Truth.

[spam image removed]

Indeed.

Well I want to thank you all for your input.  As I have guessed at first glance, this crap excuse for DLC will not make me take DA2 off the shelf.

Wonder if anything will?  I know one thing, I will not buy another DA DLC or game without extreme due dilligence and that is the Truth.

Microsoft ? What do you mean ?

[lazman905]

These items are awesome.  Items that level up as you play.  Fantastic.

[stoicsentry2]

Does the new DLC come with a 2nd unique map?

Of course this makes the point of looting pointless since you can be fully equipped with levelling gear and just swap rings on occasion.

 Can anyone help me i have downloaded and installed the dragon age 2 dlc but it doesnt work?

[duckley]

I understand that the DLC is only for the champion and not companions... if true that kind of sucks... not that it matters. I am using my PS3 so can't download it anyway...

[xkg]

Not only for the Champion - there are items for companions too

People complaining about DLC is becoming more annoying than the DLC itself.

If you think its money-grabbing, or don't like it, DON'T BUY IT. No one cares about your witty comments about EA.

Then don't sell me a game that is only half (if that) done!

Next time you get your car fixed, or go to the dentist, make sure they only do half the job for you but charge you the full price. Then you can go home, wait for a few months and pay for the brakes or fillings to finish the job that should have been included in the original price of the work.

Doesn't make much sense there does it. Any other business would go out of business doning this $#!+...  Gaming companies need to wake up and stop making crap that requires an extra $100 on top of the "full game price"  to complete what should have been put in there in the first place. And the only way we as consumers can pound it through thair thick skulls is to hit them where it hurts. In the wallet.

It's easy to say "don't like it, DON'T BUY IT" but remember my examples above. When they bring out a DLC for the other half of this game, you'll need to buy it **evil grin from EA** to experience a more full gaming experience that you should have been able to have from day 1...

 Huff... huff... huff...  Everyone needs a good rant every once in a while.
