Well frankly we're overdue for an announcement on the next DA2 DLC. I refuse to believe that Bioware quietly swept DA2 under the carpet and forsaken it. <_< It would be great if someone at BW would just post something on the forums saying "We still have plans for more DA2 content in the near future" and we can be patient instead of just the silent treatment.

In Gamlen's house, there are 4 mats (as stated by others). 1st was Legacy (family), 2nd was MotA (Tallis), If there are to be no more DLC, then what are the other mats for? They can't be just for Decorations? :blink:

Dragon Age writer David Gaider had said that there's more of Hawke's story left to tell in Dragon Age 2 but so far nothing new has come up in the last few months after MOTA was released and i'm starting to doubt his words.

I just feel like there hasn't been any reassurances from Bioware. :(

It was in one of the other thousand threads like this one.


So you have no solid proof.


Mike Laidlaw said in one of his interview/ fan questioning that Hawke's story would be wrapped up in future DLC. I think I watched the interview on Bioware pulse but I dont remember for sure. I will look around and if I find it again ill post it for you.

Either way I am pretty sure we will see at least one more bid expansion maybe even two. They might be waiting to release a DLC along with the anime. Also with MAss Effect 3 coming I expect at least one more DLC before its release in March. If anything Bioware maybe be working on something bigger this time around as well. I dont think expansion size but I expect some kind of larger then usual DLC. I really do wish Bioware would announce if their is going to be more though. Its not cool to leave their fans hanging. I dont even care if it's not going to be for a while at least let us know if we should be waiting for more DLC or if we should just give up on it. It doesnt even matter if it is an official announcement maybe just a hint.

I know and i also wanted some hints to the next DA2 DLC but do we get any from Bioware? No of course not. For once i would like Bioware to annouce what DLC for DA2 (maybe some hints or something) and when they plan to release them instead of keeping us in the dark threw out the months if not years. We also know that Bioware is capable of that, and it is frustrating to see less feedback from them.

Why don't they just admit that Mark of the Assassin DLC was the final product and be done with it so they can move on to DA3.

For all those people thinking that DA2 DLC is done here is a Q and A with Mike Laidlaw and Mark Durrah . They clearly state that future DLC will go past the ending of DA2 and bring Hawke's story to a conclusion.
http://www.bioware.com/biowaretv
The video is in the Pax 2011 selection and the video is called Bioware Pulse ep 46- DA2 Q and A Live.
Now while its possible that they decided to stop DLC ahead of time I highly doubt they have and expect some more info soon.

That's just it, Mike Laidlaw and Mark Durrah admitted that they have no clue about any upcoming DLC for Dragon Age 2.

Because its probably not? You are trying to goad the information out of them by jumping up and down shouting 'come on admit its over'. If they say nothing you accuse them of being lazy and unenthusiastic. If they answer you then they just rewarded you for pestering. 

What you are doing here is making it so that putting ones head down, working hard and releasing information on a schedule that is strategically useful to the company is unacceptable and so you name-call as a result. In other words you are forcing it into a lose-lose situation for them and a win-win for you. This is bullying. 

They are under no obligation to tell you anything. They certainly won't in response to bullying it out of them.

Yep, there was definitely more content hinted at after MoTA. 

I'm not sure if the huge silence for the last four months means something larger than a normal DLC pack is incoming, or if it's even a sign that work on DA3 is ramping up. If it were the latter, I guess it's encouraging that they're taking their time.

To All I can only I wish if they are going to do a DA2 DLC that they first read and understand there own gaming and Bioware Material. For example in DAO Sten said that there are no women warriors or rogues, he said women no there place they are teachers, artisans, or Priestess (conterdicting A.K.A Tallis), also the Templar in Tallis Movie says that Templar's cannot Marry, I am sorry what about Sir Wesley Averliens husband. Bioware and David G. need to read there own material, I am sure there are tons of other examples that was just two off the top of my head.

maybe the delay is because they are working away on an expansive 20+ hour expansion with a couple of new character in the party and all sorts of crazy ****!...

...or not :)

I think he's referring to MOTA.

He can't understand why Tallis is a Qunari.

You do realize..... that Sten represented only one branch of the Qunari don't you? :blink:

I really hate to dissapoint you guys, but I doubt we will ever see any new content for DA2, I like the ones out now and it is sad, but considering all the undeserved negative attitude towards the game it is understandable.

Personally, I doubt we'll see or hear anything before the release of ME3. I was hoping for something in December, but with ME3 less than 2 months away, if anything is coming it'll be after that.

Well, unless you have solid proof your opinion means as much as anyone else's in which case it is no disappointment, just one more opinion.

I wish the developers would be more specific. "More" could be just one more bridging DLC or "More" could be 2-3 more bridging DLC. I know that I come online every day just to see if some kind of announcement has been made. And everyday I'm disappointed. I guess for me knowing one way or the other if new DA2 DLCs are going to made would go a long way.

He can't understand why Tallis is a Qunari.


Then he needs a quick codec update about which part of the Qun Tallis is in

I wouldn't say that most of us are upset about the lack of DA2 DLC. We're pretty much the internet version of the old retired people sitting outside of the country store watching the cars and townspeople go by. One of them would have said "There's a new car, there. Don't look too impressive if you ask me." And the rest go "Ayup" and nod.

Our version of this is "omg, no DA2 DLC?" And everyone else goes, "nerp." And then we all nod and go back to muttering.

This happens again and again and again, until we get some DA2 DLC.

Then it happens again and again and again, after we get DA2 DLC. :?

There is another possibility. Too many things have gone wrong with DA2: From DA:O's cliffhangers that were never addressed in DA2 to gambling on a new new target audience that never came. Maybe they simply pulled the plug, because they lost a lot of goodwill. In this scenario the best we can hope for is that BW uses an external team to do DA3, maybe even sell the franchise, while they work on a new one.


On the franchise? Nah, I'm not as 'hopeful'. They're gonna make a sequel that will be either 'make' or 'break'. 

Mike Laidlaw still believes that stripping out RPG elements is the way to go however and I don't see it ending well.

I wouldn't go that far.
Sure, they may have taken the streamlining approach a tad too far but I'm sure Mike's mission is not to strip out all RPG elements.

I don't think much stock should be put into plans they had before MotA even came out. AFAIK they weren't very vocal about the success of MotA, as opposed to Legacy where they let us know several times how well it sold. And let's say they're waiting to make an announcement until after ME3 launches. How long? A month? Two? That's too long. DA2 will have been out for well over a year and it will have been almost 6 months since the last DLC. Don't get your hopes up for more DLC.

Excuse me if I don't put too much faith into anything BioWare or Mike Laidlaw and Mark Durrah say. I wonder if there will be something new or not. I'm lack of words to it. Nobody knows anything... Wonder why?

They are afraid to announce anything related to Dragon Age 2, because we will kill them if someting goes wrong. But silence is not helping at all. The outcome is: nobody believes in anything they said, doesn't matter what they said. I just can't believe this is the image Bioware wants to have in the eyes of their fans.... I really want to get some announcement on Dragon Age 2 DLC. It is about time to say something... anything... <_<

If there's no more DA2 DLC, well, okay fine, marketing decision. I understand. But they could at least just say so, so that we can move on to other games instead of keeping DA2 savegames cluttering up filespace in the vain hope that the silence from the dev team means there might possibly be another good story DLC.

I agree, that is a huge overstatement. The very term 'RPG elements' has little meaning in the modern environment anyway. There is mass confusion as to what defines an RPG. If you are talking specifically about roleplaying elements, then I would say that DA2 is less roleplayable than DAO yes; but I don't think that is Mr Laidlaw's mission, just his interpretation.

The decision not to say so yet is the marketing decision.
