Estimated Time Arrival

Well the official word is that it's coming this holiday season. But maybe not. (Definitely not for some)

[Ardept]

umm did they mention which holiday?

[JanHenDAO]

Did they even answer questions in this thread?

[Dam Wookie]

A question I am so so so so sure hasn't been asked yet but wtf is "this holiday season" anyway? Is that when the kiddies break up from school to play their 18 rated but clearly designed for (and sold to, and the clear age and sex of most on this forum) teenage boys: dragon age?



Can anyone remind me when kiddies break up from school?

[Rhipz]

Well they should've broken up by now. I finished yesterday but then I'm 17 attending college.

Was really sad to see they locked down a petition to ask for the release of the PC version if it is done. Especially since it was a very civil thread. Bioware lost some respect with that one.

It was against the forum rules to have petitions I think. I'm just disappointed they did so poorly with the announcement for this DLC. So premature. So very premature.


Oh yeah and the ironically aptly named thread this is. Questions about the DLC. No answers. Just Questions And oh yah spoilers!

So when will this DLC be out? I didn't catch the answer cause i was too busy whining

[blazin130791]

borderlands just released a DLC with (apparently) 5 times the content but only twice the price of return to ostagar...



im hoping my faith in bioware will be worth it and that the DLC allthoguh shorter will give me more "bang for my buck"

 more wine would mean, etc

I want the bang! any Bang and i want it now! ROAR!

[blazin130791]

i want at least 300 hours gameplay for 5 dollar, anything else is EA conning us out.

[JHDROCKER]

I get that horrible feeling the most we are looking at with this DLC is at most 2 hours of gameplay with the reward of King Callians Armor and for some reason King Marics Dragonbone Blade from the books, though as to why King Callian didnt use that in the Battle of Ostagar i can only imagine, why is it so few DLC's really pay off? Fallout 3 has intresting and diffrent DLC's true but their overall content wasnt that impressive and usually only lasted an hour or two and once you had played it once it didnt really impress you enough enough to want to do it again, ofcourse you did anyway but each time it became more of a chore, though Broken Steel was abit better since it cleared up the ending abit more, but im trailing off now, i suppose im just hoping this DLC will add more than alot of people are expecting but then again the game hasnt been out that long so i have no doubt they will be adding quite a few more yet, wheither they will be worth the extra money or not is yet to be seen.

They already said it's 1hour play if you're playing it first time and read everything or something. 15 minutes if you fly through everything. (Or if you are a developer). So it will be short. They also said they will be reducing the price, just in case you were expecting it to be long. So it's not so much a horrible feeling as a fact. Nothing wrong with that. Except

Why did they announce such a small nugget of goodness so early? It's almost guaranteeing buyer's remorse at this point because of all the buildup of expectations.

[blazin130791]

broken steel could have been alot better though

[blazin130791]

and raising the level cap was stupid

So basically if you handed in an assignment that you told your boss would be in say next tuesday and you handed in on wednesday due to unexpected circumstances. It's a reason and not an excuse? And you shouldn't be held responsible?

Let's say your boss handed you an assignment due next Tuesday.  Then came back on Monday and said, "No, we decided we need it to be different, because we found out the client was not going to be satisfied with what we had".  You then turn it in on Wednesday instead of Tuesday.

Do you still call that an excuse rather than a reason?  Of course, I do see that done at my office occasionally, but that doesn't make it a reasonable position, in my mind.

They HAD it done.  Then they decided they had to change it because of feedback on this very thread.  However, getting approvals - legal approvals, mind you, not mfinishing the work - is taking longer than they thought.  BTW, for anyone who wishes to see the BioWare posts only, do click on the BioWare logo below the thread title on the main forum listing.  It will show you this thread's BioWare posts only.

No change to the module's length. It's still just the right amount of awesome but we have lowered the price to help address people's concerns. Sorry, you can't have both. ;o)





so we are still waiting for sony basically?

[NativityInBlack]

 Raising the level cap was the reason Broken Steel was the most sold DLC it was brilliant, felt like a true expansion I had a reason to go back and explore all the content I didn't had. Best DLC bang for buck yet. Took about 30 hours to get those extra 10 levels, not over the DLC content itself but as it gave me fuel to explore other things.

[TastyLaksa]

So what did they add? What was the client (who the hell is this nasty client), who was unhappy with it being released before christmas

Stupid client.

So they needed legal approval to reduce the price? This be major confusing.

[LdyShayna]

The change was this from Rob's post:



"Based on some of the feedback in this thread, we made the decision to revisit Return to Ostagar and make some small improvements, including the addition of a new Ostagar-specific achievement/trophy and a reduction in the price."



Any changes to the content must go through the approval process again. As ne notes in another post:



"When deciding to include the achievement / trophy, we knew that we were putting a Christmas release at risk across one or more platforms. My personal preference would have been to stay the course and ship for Christmas but we ultimately decided that it was a risk worth taking."



Now, I may not be terribly happy, because I don't care about achievements at all. However, it is their call to make, so I decided to calm myself and be patient. If you wish to object, that's certainly your right. I only ask that everyone on the thread object based on the facts, is all.
