Can I just say that I find the daggers to be very ugly and unroguely?

But other than that, this thread is funny.

Oh KoP is here...now it's a party :wizard:


Where there are catfights, KoP is always there.

Even if you don't see him.

No. Just no.

ME's items packs were a horrible idea then, and this is a horrible idea now. Items are NOT WORTH MONEY. Don't turn into Capcom. You are NOT doing yourselves any favours with crap like this. Patch the game THEN work on DLC.


Oh well, I didn't realize that your opinion is the one that matters. Some people actually liked the item packs in ME and this one.

But I guess haters are gonna hate no matter what.


I'm not a hater. In fact, I really enjoyed DA2. But item packs are just silly. The amount of time and effort used to create a couple more items simply doesn't justify paying real money. Now, extra quests? Those are good, those need to be paid for. But clothes? Who's so addicted to digital dressup they have to may real money for ingame clothes?

i know opinions are like ****s....everyone has them etc, but i just cant see how this game is so different from the first as to make people uninstall...im sure many of these complainers are either spitting dummies out or are just plain net-nubs who like to moan about everything

as for the items...im on act 2 of my first playthru, so items are either too low or too high...lol....they look good though

i feel for BW....damned if you do, damned if you dont

I don't mind that people hate the game, fine, uninstall it. But some people feel the need to say over and over how much they hate the game in every single thread.

To stay on topic, my only complaint is I really want to use that lower end mage gear later because it looks awesome!! But it's not strong enough for my mid level mage D:

Just because it is not what you value does not mean it is without value.

And you do realize that while ME had item packs the Mass Effect team also produced story DLCs that were far better story and quality wise than the DAO story DLCs right? Maybe they're giving us something small while, you know, trying to fix the game and working on a story DLC.

The stats are sweet. If I have any spare points after HH, I will get it.


HH?

Honest Hearts for NV.


Oh, you mean Xbox points?

I was thinking BioWare points, ergo some other BioWare DLC... ah well.

I hope so. And the only story DLC for ME that I liked was LoTSB, didnt really care for the others. 

I guess I'll see what happens in the future, I really hope they make good story DLC with items, and not just more item packs.

Thanks for posting these! What does the codex entry for the Eye of the Bearded Dragon say if it has one? It's not Varric's doughnut is it? That would be a nice touch.

41 items isn't bad for that price, they should definitely think about rejigging the web page for it to show how much you get as I'm not sure how clear it is at present.

Thinking about it I think I would have been more interested in this if it had come out a little down the road, after a more ambitious DLC that set the tone for where they wanted to go with future DA2 content. I'm just not sure now was the best time for an item pack, all things considered. Plus my personal preference will always be that they merge item packs into other DLC packs, even if it means making said pack a little more expensive. It feels too much like buying avatar clothes for my xbox person, and I'm someone who does spend far too long choosing what my characters wear and sometimes opting for the less powerful outfit in favour of good looks.

Story dlc please. Not this crap. Why weren't most of these items in the vanilla game? Most are probably just reskins with different stats?

I think I'm going to skip the item pack. An item pack is something we could make ourselves in the toolset, if that were available. I'd much rather pay for the toolset.

I'm not sure whether to be surprised or saddened at the level of vitriol gushing forth over this, in both directions.

Personally, I consider this kind of thing (namely, denying your fanbase access to modding resources whilst releasing quick/cheap-to-make appearance packs) a little suspect, and I worry about the implications for more substantial dlc. Not because, y'know, I think patches, maps or quest-based dlc is in some way mutually exclusive with packs like this, more because if these are considerably cheaper to make (which I'm lead to believe they are) and sell like hot cakes, why bother with something far less profitable?

For the record, I'm not a massive fan of paid-for content like this. I haven't been since, I don't know. Horse armour? If other people are - and clearly other people are - more power to them. That doesn't make me a bitter, hate filled husk incapable of enjoyment any more than it makes people who buy it blind.

(I don't envy warriors, though. I mean, wow. No wonder Orlais invades other countries so much, it's probably the only way to get them to stop laughing at their military)

I'm not sure how a thread announcing the release of an item-pack dlc triggering comments regarding the value of item-pack dlc is particularly unexpected. It's not as if every criticism of the item pack stems from a seething hatred of all things DA2 that cannot be quenched, no matter how frequently it seems to be attributed to that.

seriously!?!?!?!?!?! All the hate that this game is generating and instead of focusing on the problems with the game your really going to have an item dlc? I can't believe people are actually buying it.

You do realise they have released 2 patches to date and will probably soon release a 3rd.

Here's my album.

Contains the codex, and some of the weapons, armor, and accessories.


Totally a late response to this (so I doubt you're going to see it), but these pics misled me. You shouldn't have had your modded Isabela & Fenris in there. I thought from glancing at these, that new armor was included.

JSYK, it's not.

Weapons, amulets, and rings only for companions. New armors for Hawke.

Still $5 well spent. Keep the DLC coming, please. Image IPB

Why thank you! I love the way he came out. Especially when he does the whole witty/charm thing in cutscenes.

Sure You can say that, but not all rogues are thieves. Some are pirates, and blades don't get more piratey. (though I would have made them a little less squared off)

I love DA2, and this is optional content. Don't want it, don't buy it. Simple.

That said, it looks good, but I think I'll hold off on this one. Kudos on putting in the lore with the items, that's awesome. I might go for the mage pack, but not yet.
