I wanna know release date too. Isn't December itself already holiday season?

[enderandrew]

The last dev post I saw on the matter (a week ago) said they were doing some optimizations and bug-fixing on the DLC before releasing it, and they weren't giving a release date. It will come out when it's ready.

[Lord_Saulot]

I just finished my first playthrough. If this will come out soon, I may wait for it before doing a second...

I like DA:O so much I can't wait for this DLC. Someone said it will be short but short content so far seems to be 4 hours of gameplay when compared to other area base DLCs. Soldier's Peak and Shale are worth the price and long enough to feel satisfied by finishing them. I do wish that the ingame sidequests didn't feel like sidefetch. What happened to most of the quest taking half of the game to finish like kotor and BG?

Things like Steam are great as long as they work, and have excellent customer service when they don't.  Steam CS is not what I would call "acceptable".

Digital content also looks great as long as you aren't being billed by your internet provider by how much you download.  Once "billing by the byte" goes live, digital content looks a lot less appealing.  Comcast and Verizon have already stated they are going to this model, as they can make more money off it.  When you stream a HD movie over their network, they want to get paid for it, and the consumer is the one who will end up paying for it.  Wipe your PC and need to re-download 50GB of games?  Enjoy the bill that month.  DA:O is a full 8GB DVD all by itself, and games are only getting bigger.

Personally I prefer having something tangible in my hand as proof I bought it rather than relying on something like Steam to tell me what I own and if I'm allowed to play.

As for the DLC, we're still looking at "holiday season" on the DLC page.

Hmm. Lot of you good folk out there seem to be having quite a hassle with Steam. I must be one of the lucky ones, had it from its inception years ago, gone through several PC rebuilds, reinstalled it more than once and all my original Half Life goodies still work fine despite having lost the original discs when I moved house...so...I guess it is another one of those things that can be classified as Sod's Law.

As for DLC, I'm concerned with what B33ker said:

I totally agree. At the moment I pay a flat rate with Virgin Media a month, buy nice shiny boxed games, occassionaly lose the discs...(i.e WoW) end up having to download the games (i.e. WoW) no, I really would not be into coughing up more cash. However...DLC? With Fall Out 3 I downloaded one expansion and still ended up buying it when it came out on disc just so I could have the others and more shiny cases to fill up my gaming shelves.

I do wonder if at some point there will be an eventual release of DLC goodies on disc and if it is worth just waiting for that so I can have something else to dust on occasion...

Someone mentioned the side quests in KOTOR and BG. Yup. They were excellent. As much as I love this game, my only niggle is that the side quests are a little uninspired, I really did kind of want too have a troop of Nugs on leashes follow me around before I turned them in...

[Anduin335]

The main game came out before it was ready so what is the hold up?

How can you wish they would only use Steam?

I would never buy another game from them ever again if they used Steam. Steam is horrible.

Never had any issues with Steam, it just works for me.

Steamworks, Self updating, cheap games,  3rd party games can be a bit of hit and miss but Valve content shows you how to do digital content this day and age.

not totaly true bro. Cheap is a matter of opinion their bundles are super nice. Its much more updated than D2D for sure, but Impulse is my favorite for singleplayer games. Much less demanding of memory, usable games offline, and you do not need to own a Stardock game to use all the features within the framework (I have to buy a valve game just to talk to my friends even if we play a non-valve game). Overall however it is useable.

[ElvaliaRavenHart]

Well it's the holiday season and still no Ostagar download!

[EJ42]

Steam haters make me giggle.

The world is changing.

Learn to deal with it.

[TUHD]

Personally, I hate Impulse :/ The amount of times the platform and the updating on it crashed for me, I stopped counting, while Steam works nice enough while it is also free (just like Impulse).

Everyone their own preferences... *waits for Return to Ostagar DLC*

Most people I know go on holiday in August.  In which case it's *really* late!

[cleansingfire83]

It was posted that there would be another update on here when the DLC has a release date, but I'm too excited, so I'm asking again, any news on that?

[11DoubleL]

They have yet to say which holiday season. Everyone is assuming they meant the Christmas/New Years season. For all we know they may mean Memorial Day/Independance Day....

[Crimzon Nutcase]

My bet, they make an announcement tomorrow for the DLC to be released on Tuesday Dec 29th, 2009. I mean think about it, it's perfect! Christmas has passed, kids and Adults have extra money from returning shotty gifts, and who doesn't wanna spend moola on new shiny DLC?

Doesn't matter much to me. I won't be able to get it until at least the 1st when I get paid. I can wait THAT long.

[nightstalker270]

I would love to see it come out before Christmas but the "holiday season" could mean anywhere between now and New Year's. I just hope I don't have to wait much longer.

Keeping with the Bethesda example look at the Horse Armour plugin for Oblivion and Operation Anchorage/Point look out DLCs for Fallout 3. All utter crap wastes of money.

Um.  Point Lookout was freaking AWESOME.

I'll agree with you on the Horse Armor and Operation Anchorage though.  Oblivion's mod community is pretty awesome.  I haven't found a single Fallout 3 fan mod that I've liked or kept, though.

The NWN Modding community was/and is one of the best. They created Complete series based on or follow on's from the main OC along with complete quest lists added into the main OC with towns and the like.
Alot of it you cant tell if they are Biowares or modders.
Alot of the Oblivion Modders are or were NWN modders.

On The DLC side, I was hoping for a nice xmas pressy of the DLC but

Seeing as it says "this Holiday season" it would seem that some time between Christmas & New Years would be the reasonable time frame.

[Titius.Vibius]

Its already Christmas this side of the planet where I live but still no DLC, damn what am I suppose to do with 1000 points? -zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[sockpirate]

lol i was freaking out thinking my retial copy was broken ! i have been spamming the refresh button on the dlc every few minutes thinking my stuff was broken! i hope this is released soon!

[The_Slayer31]

Am prob gonna sound really sad here, but am on my 4th playthrough of this game, and yes I'm waiting for Return to Ostagar too. I'll probably only go there on this (and any future) playthroughs as have already finished the game on the others



For anyone wondering am trying all the different origin stories...great so far :-D
