The "survivor" is probably someone who tells you what needs to be done and either follows you or temporarily joins you as a fifth member. Hopefully it's a recognizable face like the Kennel Master or one of those warriors (Ash Warriors? I forget the names) with their dogs.



What I hope for most is some unique locations and not just a retread on what we've seen, that would further fuel the anti-DLC beliefs of many. Crossing the bridge, there was a huge battlefield below, where the king and Duncan fought. We should be able to go there, I think, and maybe we will because of this:



"An opportunity to reclaim the lost arms and armor of a king"

How is it a waste if someone spends 5 bucks and gets  a few hour enjoyment? Please explain? who are u to tell someone they get value out of 5 whole dollars? get off the soap box idiot.

how many times are you going to say this before they are done? how many "just $5" are there going to be before you start adding up how much money you're spending it, and compare it to what you'd spend on an expansion that would actualy come with a box and a disk and maybe a map/poster or something similar?

I have to admit I'm not super inspired by this, mostly because I feel a lot of DLC don't really offer value for money compared to full expansion packs or new games. Sure, I'd probably end up getting it anyway, but I sure hope they make this one good and of a decent length.

[macayle]

well i for one intend to buy it. I been wanting to go back there to see what was left of the army after our favortie witch said how bad it was there after the battle.



Do wish they would have announced a patch though

Give me more characters or something, that would be nice. Either that or give a developing story, not flashbacks.

You can't expect much more from dlc...anything expansive would have to be done either in:

a) An expansion.

Multi-episode DLC (which isn't a terrible idea).

Stupidity post aside (mine a bit further up ;p), I'll take whatever I'm given in terms of dlc...what can I say, I enjoyed the game and am more than willing to pay out every so often for new content. Perhaps I'm evil? Perhaps I'm evil and eat children and poop swastikas. Perhaps I also enjoy listening Chris De Burgh as I drink a nice chianti. Perhaps...

So wait, if you've finished the game, you have to go back to an early reload to play this? *sad face*

What gives you that idea?

"* To find the survivor play through Dragon Age: Origins until after the
village of Lothering and Journey to Bann Loren's Lands along the
Bannorn's northwest border."

The impressions I'm left with is that you can't get back to Ostagar until that time, but that anytime after that is fine. I don't know for sure since I've not played it.

I'll take it.



$5.00 for some additional story, XP and loot beats the crap out of paying, say, $15 a month for an MMO sub, where the only "new" stuff you get is retextured monsters you killed in earlier levels.



Puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

No one is forcing you to buy it are they? It common sense. Ill support the devs i want to and enjoy every minute of it, if bioware keeps making games liek this and does the PC right they will get my money. The box and disk? LMAO, i dont buy games for the box or disc. I pay for content i wenjoy, I and i alone know what ill get my moneys worth out of, who are you to speak for me and others? get off your high horse.

[StuartMarshall]

$5 is nothing but the point many are making is, if people keep buying them... $5, $7, $5, $10... you get the point... it'll add up to the cost of an actual game eventually with maybe 5 hours total gameplay. DLC is definitely regression from expansions but is the "new sh*t" and makes money faster for the publi$hers.

Please explain how the announcement of new DLC precludes the development of patches and expansions.

Getting the King's armor should have been included in the launched version. I don't see why we can not go back to Ostagar right now. $5 isn't much, but in this economy we want our money's worth. I think that instead of reopening Ostagar in a DLC that we have to pay for, they should open up Orley, or the area that Sten comes from. I think that more maps should be open to us. I also thing that there should be new dungeons, items, spells, prestige classes, and new characters included in a DLC. When Dragon Age 2 arrives, we could be fully satisfied with our purchases. There aren't (IMO) that many interesting side quests to last for long. Once I end this game, I fear I will just put it down and let it collect dust. Better DLC's are needed!

compare it to what you get in the old expansions devs used to make and it really puts it into perspective. im still not convinced that any DLC really ends up being worth the money.

* A return to the battlefields of Ostagar, now thick with darkspawn encamped amidst the snow

* An opportunity to reclaim the lost arms and armor of a king

* A second chance to add Dog to your party



Pshhhhh if this is all they could put in the description then I'm not buying. rather spend $5 on a good coffee.



For those that already have a dog this is basically:

fight some darkspawn that you have fought before in a place you have already been to

get a reskinned mix of jugger/warden armor

read some codex entries



Pass on this one.

It's up for an individual to decide if the money is worth it, not you. 5 bucks for new DA is more thn worth it for me, i support devs i feel deserve it. 5 bucks is more then adequate considering that only gets me 2 coffees. people spend money on a lot worse.

Comparing a 5 dollar dlc to a 30 buck expansion? may as well compare apples and oranges.

I will be getting this. Sounds good to me.

I actually enjoyed Wardens Keep but felt is was a bit short for the money, I kind of hope that this DLC will offer a bit more in terms of lenght. DLC is actually a very good idea as long as we get value for money and while they have been fairly cheap so far it does not take many of these cheap DLC's to equal what we would spend on a expansion for this type of game. As long as the DLC's work out as being equal in cost and content as what an expansion would then I have no issue but going by the cost and content with Wardens Keep I would say this is not the case, still that was the first release and I dont think its fair to judge the situation of these DLC's till we get a taste of a few more.

[mastorofpuppetz]

DLC does not mean no expansion, please. If there was only an expansion, would you be happier with zero new content until it is done? nothing wrong with smaller DLC until an expansion is done.

Wow, amazing how you can declare something sucks without even having to try it.
