Granted $5 isn't really that much but the problem as I see it is that is people are content to continue doling out for little tidbits of DLC where is the incentive for BioWare to develop a real expansion with some meat to it?

we were speaking about if they made an espansion BLAZIN

Can you imagine how nice it would be a full expansion set in a few years after the events of the game, in a new map, with some old companions, new companions and a nice plot with lots of clue of what happened to the people of Dragon Age based on your save game?  Like Dragon Age: The Qunari Wars. I think that it would be a very nice thing to see on the stores some months from now .

Yeah but I sacrificed my PC in one of my playthroughs... what happens with that? Is an expansion possible since some of the gamers out there had their PC killed? It wouldn't feel like an expansion if I had to create another character from scratch! Scenarios like this would be something to expect in a sequel rather than in an expansion.
But then again, the guys here at Bioware are really creative... and they could always find some way to revive you...

Well, like you said, the guys here at Bioware are really creative, they could always find some way to keep the adventure on. Despite the number of hours the game has and the depht it contains, the only thing I can conclude is that I want more =P

Still... It's kind sad to load my epilogue and see everybody in the camp like nothing had happened and than travel to explore a dungeon with a lot of items that I would not use at all. (I know I could use the expansion content in new games but... you know what I mean).

Personally I'd rather have larger more expensive chunks of dlc than being drip fed even if it works out at the same price.



When I was constasntly replaying BG2 thanks to the greatness that was Weidu I wasn't loading a new game up everytime an extra dungeon or NPC was released, I'd wait for a few and then replay it as it makes a significant difference in playthroughs.



Take Tales of the Sword Coast as an example, if you released both dungeons and the extra weapons as seperate staggered add-ons for the same overall price I'd have completed the entire game for a one hour dungeon then replayed the game again just for the sake of another hour long dungeon. As much as I loved Baldur's Gate it becomes a grindfest and there's no point in having a playthrough, completeing a piece of DLC and then not playing until the next piece comes along.



With Return to Ostagar everything you've released is more than what most £20 expansion packs offer but because its been broken into smaller pieces it seems there is less content.



Considering most of us will have completed the game several times by the time the DLC after Return to Ostagar is announced how about a dual pack DLC with an dungeon for general playthrough and then a really hard end game dungeon priced the same as tow lots of DLC?

huh strange by biowares exspectasions you would at least think the have an estimated release date

[Zvampfar]

Might be hard to tell as it seems they are not sure if they have to wait for the console release or not? Still, seems like they will miss out on a gold chace if they miss the christmas buying-frenzy! :innocent:

That would be awesome.

I am really curious to know what Bioware would do with the fantastic ending they created for DA. Will we get a different beginning depending on how our own story did end in DA, similar to the origin stories?

I hope they will continue the story of Alistair & Co one day. That was one of the many things I really liked about the Ultima series for example. I could return to Britannia, travel again with Iolo, Shamino or Sir Dupre, see how the land and its people have changed over the years...

If one of Bioware's developers asked me if I'd like to play Return to Ostagar now, I would be more than willing to buy him/her a $5 lunch for doing so.  But in reality, I'll have to wait until it's acually released.  Which means I won't have to leave the house, go to the drive through, or drive the lunch to Bioware's office.  I can sit at home, purchase the dlc, and enjoy the extra gameplay knowing I've helped provide some talented people with something to eat.  I like to support those who give me great games.

If it turns out to be a big fail, then it's no worse than eating bad take out.

Releasing smaller add ons like Wardens Keep, RtO, and Stone Prisoner are perfectly fine as they aren't connected. They do flesh out a bit of back story or add some small new lore to what we already know which is just fine. It seems what most people want is content that's connected together that would span upwards of 5+ hours or so. It takes time to work on expansions like that and the game itself is already great as it is. I for one am content to wait as long as it takes for them to expand upon the after story which if theres a 5+ hour expansion or so ever coming it would take place post game whereas the current small dlc's have been taking place during game.

When three groups are given software to QA and one group takes 3 weeks longer than the other two, yes, I blame it for having poor QA.

[ThessalyCousaland]

QA?

This could all have been avoided if they did not have a case of premature announcement of a unfinished product.

[ThessalyCousaland]

And... premature announcements@ xmas time=something probably not minded.



I want ma Ostagar

[TastyLaksa]

I wouldn't have wanted it if they didn't announce on their blog about something exciting that is coming! Only for that something exciting to be another announcement.



So so far they have announced that they were announcing that the DLC would come out somewhere in the christmas season. Or maybe not. You know. Breezy.



Who knows maybe they might just announce that there will be a DLC after this one!! OMG i can't wait for the day when they announce that they will be annoucing the release of the DLC!
