My guess is more Legacy, they really have to push the message that "Legacy addresses a lot of peoples concerns" perhaps a teaser at the next DLC.

I still havent tried Legacy I want to based on the Reception and community discussed thread, but I am not sure when I will have time.

Nah I doubt it. They wouldn't be like "can't tell you what the demo is it is a super secret suprise!! :whistle:" just so they could make it Legacy and be all trollface.jpg on us... I hope... :mellow:

My bet is on that supposedly Exalted March expansion. I hope so.

There was the presumed "Exalted March" hint too based on the shirt David Gaidner was wearing. I'd bet on new DLC/Expansion.

It would explain why they got the VA's toghether easily for Legacy.

Yeah, I mentioned how it's more efficient but that's a very good point too. "Let's get all the voice actors back in for a 3 hour DLC!" seems so strange, especially when the companions didn't have that much dialogue. At the same time though, why would all companions have dialogue in an Exalted March expansion? SPOILER When all Hawke's companions are supposed to have split up from him/her? Maybe it's not an Exalted March expansion after all... could be Dragon Age 2 Enhanced :whistle:

I believe Varric says "in time we all went our seperate ways."  So this could be after the main story, but before the split.  Seems like a strange thing for Cassiepants not to mention, but maybe that's because Hawke got it called it off!

*Signs it too*

Given that they got ALL the VO actors from the main game together (Which is no small feat!), it would only make sense for them to record as much material as possible. And that "Exalted March" expansion has SO bloody much potential. Combine that with the release of a Toolset and BSN will explode....because no community can bear so much love. :o:O:O

If it's true, I'll be waiting for reviews. Who knows, it might make me like DA again.

Would you like DA again if I gave you some sugar? :devil:

Whoops. This is not the Loghain thread. Carry on!:lol:

Isn't it a bit early, though? I mean, it took them this long just to put out a single DLC (and Ray is on record saying that more DLC is coming), and an expansion is usually a sort of end-of-life product (for BioWare, at least). Unless... oh my god TWO EXPANSIONS!

Honestly, I expect some minor DLC like items or appearance, or maybe just a patch announcement. If Jesus has a happy face that day, maybe some hi-res textures.

DA:A came out around this time, and EA's official stance is product releases on 2 year cycles & annual content. It could be more DLC, sure. But I don't think Bioware would say we'd play through items or apperance, and a patch doesn't see like something Bioware would do at this juncture. 

I'd love an environment texture patch, though.

They worked on Awakening while simultaneously producing dlc, so it could be the same here. And there were at lest two dlc released after Awakening IIRC.

They wouldn't make a demo for an item pack or an appearance pack.

Like I said they could've been working on more than one at the same time and in the long run it's probably more efficient to do it that way. Awakening came out 133 days after Origins was released, and DA2 was released 158 days ago, try and factor in the Legacy time in there and an expansion, or at least another DLC coming out next month or October sounds about right.

Awakening was surely in development long (long) before Origins actually shipped (the game was basically done in late 2008 or early 2009, from everything they said back then). That gave them nearly a full year to work on the expansion (and the Rob & Ferret duo were certainly also doing work on the early DLC at that time).

And my suspicion is that they never actually finished Awakening (when the brass decided to kill Origins support completely and put all focus on DA2, they just completed what they had already done and shipped it), but maybe I'm just a cynic. Maybe Exalted March is getting the same treatment, but I certainly hope not.

Anyway, I don't think you can say that DA2 was finished any meaningful amount of time before its release (if you even consider that it was ever actually finished), and the team is certainly not on fire, the amount of time it took to churn out Legacy.

I'd love for it to be an expansion, but they usually get a year of development time (ToB, SoU, HotU, and Awakening all had around 12 months IIRC) and such a big announcement would sort of steal the thunder of any DLC they tried to release between now and when the expansion ships, wouldn't it?

If we get the option to kill Sebastian than I'm all for it...:devil:

But a complete DLC about an extremely self righteous and preachy character doesn't  make for a good business decision.

Hopefully its a DLC about something else thats far more important.

I get the feeling 'Exalted March' will just end up being a special community event at Gamescom or something leading to an eventual announcement of DLC.

Try not to get your hopes up too much guys. ^_^

If Sebastian is going to have an important role in a future DLC/Expansion, then I guess the game would do a save check and change the dialogues according. For example, if Hawke hadn't met/recruited Sebastian, they are strangers to each other, but based on what the Champion had done to Anders, the conversations and events play out differently.

Shouldn't be difficult at all.

Maybe it's nothing to do with the game itself but just the franchise. Maybe it'll be a demo of the upcoming anime or a comic series/graphic novel. As interesting as it would be to see another DLC hot on the heels of Legacy I'd like to know that they are putting plenty of time into writing and creating a quality product and not just rushing this stuff out, though to be fair Legacy took a long time and the quality in the product seems to be showing through.
