Wait. Doesn't every speaking head at Bioware claim DA2 was awesome, and sales were fantastic? Why would they need the fans to buy a half hour $10 DLC to validate their sinking money into a DA 2 expansion?

Oh wait. 

And, yes, that's mostly a rhetorical question.

I would welcome an expansion, especially after playing Legacy.

this. The DLC was amazing and an expansion would be most welcome.

I thought it was great, very rich and very funny the party banter was amazing! I hope they do expantion or more dlc.
I had a blast!

If Bioware continues to release DLC and/or expansions with amazing party member banter (as seen in the main game and Legacy) then they've pretty much got my preorder.

Mediocre to you. I found it to be amazing, especially the battle with Corypheus.


Isn't it funny how different opinions are.... well.... different?

I suggest you actaully play it. Or at least not embelish your points.

Wait? They fixed waves? How, what else is fixed do enemies still drop out of the sky only in lesser numbers or do they use doors and streets? is there a good thread about this, cant really search at work using a phone. tell me please.

I hope so, I'm liking it so far (I keep dying at the final boss battle because my squaddies repeatedly INSIST on running into the flames), and I hope that a Awakening-like expansion is in the future for DA2, because frankly, there's too many questions to answer just with DLC.

Logic would dictate that the sales of post-release content would be a better indicator of how other post-release content might be received, as opposed to the sales of the base game.

Of course, I can't help but feel that you weren't looking for a real reason, but hey. I'll give it to you anyways.

Seriously?    I've sunk at least 2 hrs into this thing already, and I'm just at the boss battle.

So, if more people buy the DLC than bought the game.................................

No.

How DLC sells, however, dictates how much mindshare the game still maintains. Initial sales of the game tell you how many people own the game, but it doesn't tell you how many are still looking for new experiences in that particular framework.

They're implemented better (they couldn't afford the parachutes anymore). And by better, I mean that they run towards you from a distance, or they're behind doors, or they're already waiting somewhere.

There are less mooks to fight. It's more along the lines of how many enemies Origins would have you face in some areas. Instead of fighting 70, you now fight about 40, and they don't come in at the same time.

I Read somewhere that they wouldn't be doing an Expansion, i don't know if it's true or not, but giving how this game has been.... ejem, received, i REALLY don't think they will do one.

[Tony Dawg]

I barely ever post on the forums, but I really, really, enjoyed Legacy for the 360. I played straight through dinner completely immersed, watching the screen intently for more darkspawn or funny conversations!

No bugs or anything (For me). Good Work BioWare!

At the very least, I hope we don't have to wait another 4 months for the next DLC...

[Brockololly]

Yeah, I'm guessing there won't be a big expack. Or at least one that requires DA2 to play. I remember back around time of Awakening being released, Gaider made mention of one of the most important determinants of the success of an expack being how soon it releases after the main game, since only a fraction of people that bought the main game will buy the expack.

I just don't think for a game with questionable sales and likely an even more questionable existing fanbase, that BioWare would sink major resources into a full expack. I think they'll just do a more ME2 style series of DLC's.

This comment makes me wnat to get Legacy but I don't have the cash at the moment. GF's birthday is coming up and I'm getting her ME1 and 2 as well as a code for the Kasumi DLC.

[Darth Krytie]

Legacy was great and I really do hope more DA2 related DLC is on the way. Especially anything that adds to DA canon.

And if they work on DA2 DLC, it doesn't meant that they're doing in lieu of working on DA3.

Anyhow, Bioware definitely owns my heart, especially after Legacy was just so brilliant.

If you could, maybe, do anything more with Anders and Fenris? I'd love you forever.

[panamakira]

I'd like an expansion too but we'll see how well people receive Legacy. Which to me so far seems a lot of people were pleasantly surprised like I was. I enjoyed DA2, but there were things in combat Legacy took care of that I enjoyed a lot.

So they took the Drakensang wave route? Good to know. At least they're looking at good examples to fix issues.

What were you expecting?

The people buying Legacy are on the whole the people who liked DA2, or at least aspects of it, the people who thought the game pretty much sucked wont be buying it for the most part I would imagine, on this forum the views on legacy are bound to be skewed in favour of the positive.

But at the same time there's a big number of people on here who will hate on anything Bioware put out that isn't Origins-related anyway, so it all balances out.

Well of course, those people who feel most put out by the direction DA2 went, I don't really think it's a case of something just not being Origins though, I think a lot just think DA2 is a bad game. I'm in that camp, I don't hate anything about it, hate is far too strong an emotion for something that is basically a bit of lightweight entertainment.

I don;t have to play Legacy to know I wont like it because I can't stand the combat in DA2, I just find it utterly boring and silly, this isn;t going to change in any post DA2 content and it wont change the main game, so i'll be passing on this and any future DA2 content.

If you liked the combat though I can see why people would think this is a step in the right direction and just from watching bits of it I can see that (even as somebody who likes to "hate" on DA2 ) that it's gone in the right direction, waves minimised and handled much better and it;s not set in Kirkwall, those two points alone would make this a better gaming experience.
