The Stone Prisoner is supposed to come with every NEW copy of DA:O. I cannot remember about the Blood Dragon Armor.

[Bob the Insane]

The Blood Dragon Armour is linked to having a pre-order for ME2...



I imagine this will you will get a code when you purchase (or recieve as part of your purchase) DLC. You then enter that code on this site while logged in as your account (which is linked to your registered copy of DA. Then I guess it will upload in game as long as you are logged in, or possibly you will have to download and install it separatly (as per Falllout 3 DLC) so it is then available in game...



Just my guess... You can alredy see on this site where you register the game and enter promo codes...

[Brody05]

anyone know (or have a link) if the shipping date is the same as the release date (nov3)?

[CraigMooGa]

i don't like the fact that the DLC isn't included in the release... i mean its all finished right? DLC is usually stuff they've made afterwards. I feel like i'm going to have to pay for something that should have been on the disk.

[Brody05]

yeah, the DLC being "pay per view" is kind of pathetic. that is like releasing the game and its first expansion pack at the same time and charging for both. at least they arent doing what the film companies are doing (ala Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean) and filming the series all at once and then releasing pieces at a time over several years as "new films in the series". Or....maybe Bioware IS doing that and we just dont know it. BASTARDS!! after 2+ years of WoW, i'm just glad there isnt a monthly fee.

Ordered from D2D and the happier for it.

Is DLC content that has been purchased for one platform made avaiable for another without re-purchasing? Ex. DL it off of the xbox live marketplace and it is than made available for you PC version - or is this not possible?

[vyvexthorne]

I really don't understand the point of DLC's that come out at the same time as the game. Why aren't they included with the game in the first place? Is $50 or $60 dollars no longer enough to pay for a game without adding extra nibbles to my pocketbook? Most will give the answer "Well nobody is forcing you purchase them." But really.. Unless you want to wait for the goty version of the game which will most likely include everything at a reduced price you are kind of forced to purchase these things because obviously the people who purchase them don't have the willpower to wait a year to play the game. It just feels like it's kind of a rotten practice that will continue to get worse and worse as it becomes more "normal" to do. Little nibbles here and there don't feel like much until you look back and realize how much you actually spent just to play one game.

Ah, good question, missed that one.

I'll re-confirm, but it will either present you a unique code and you redeem it here on the site, or it will be like the character creator upload where you login to the flash game and it will auto-add it to your account, and next time you login to DA:O it'll be there for you. Embri's is not the only 1

Oh, not the only one? Do you mean there's more unlockable loot besides Embri for completing Dragon Age Journeys?

[Asari Power]

The DLC's look good and I'm totally going to buy them but I would like to see some expansion packs with entirely new stories, classes (or specializations), rather than Downlodable Content being released every two months or earlier.

Actually, the DLC they have available at launch are either bonus for the Digital Collector Edition (Warden's Keep) to compensate for not getting a cloth map and some other goodies, or an incentive to buy the game new instead of second-hand (Stone Prisoner and Armour).
Frankly, developpers have come up with two solutions so far to curtail the second-hand market (for which they don't get any money), incentives or restrictive DRM like in Mass Effect. I, for one, vastly prefer the incentives, but maybe that's just me.

nice.

Warden's Keep is available to all platforms. The Digital CE will have it for free because you can't download Tin box and Cloth map.


Also this explains why there is same day DLC.

The Stone Keep being $15 is funny since it comes with the game... I am guessing that is a way to get some money from pirates, which is fine by me. Make it $50! Haha...



DLC looks good... I want retail, so I will have to buy the $7 DLC, but that's fine as long as it is worthwhile.

Any version - normal or CE or Digital Deluxe includes a code for: 
- The Stone Prisoner
- Blood Dragon Armor (for DA & ME2)

Is this guaranteed for ALL countries (UK included) ? There is currently a lot of confusion with several people who contacted their UK retailers (who told them that no, these DLC items would NOT be included). As the UK is the exception to the rule in several of the other content cases you gave here, is it possible that Stone Prisoner and BDA are not included in the UK normal version?

Still not possible to get actual confirmation on this?

Sure, theres loads of posts stating that it appears in all boxes but nobody has actually given a definite "yes" or a "no" about the Dragon Age: Origins UK content. And with the amount of posts questioning this its amazing that nobody has given an answer one way or the other.

[wonko33]

I don't have a problem with the way they are doing it, I just wish everything was included in the Collector's Edition. I will probably play this game for months and it is well worth the money for me.



Hopefully more people will buy it from the store instead of second hand or torrents and it will be enough of a success to guaranty a sequel.

I'm guessing that nobody actually knows for sure. It took ages to sort out the CE box/map mess, and I think it was dbankier that got a reply from EA customer support that pretty much said "we don't know". All in all, it seems like EA should hire a bunch of chimps to work in their UK branch - it couldn't be any more of a shambles than it is at the moment.

Yep, that was me. This was what I got back:

Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.

I apologize for the delayed response and do apologize for the inconvenience that might have caused to you. However, we'll not be able to confirm which retailer is providing you the offer with the game. I would recommend you to please visit our official site for further information regarding for offers on purchase of Dragon Age Origins.

The thing that concerns me the most is this link. It states 'only available when you pre-order digital deluxe edition.'

Regardless of all of the above:
- When you upload your first character using the Character Creator on to social, you also get another item

Are we supposed to get an email about that? Because... well... I haven't.

[RurouniSaiya-jin]

Considering I haven't met a person that has gotten their code yet for the Lucky stone, I presume we'll get the code e-mailed to us around the release date or they'll automatically reward it to our accounts on release.

EDIT: Found this over in the Character Creation forum and it pretty much answers the last two questions so...

Fernando Melo wrote...

Relax folks. There likely is a backlog of emails to go out, it'll come - also, make sure you check your spam filters etc.

The ring itself is not tied to a code. It is added to the account you use here on social (or more correctly, what account you used to upload your character to social with).

Log into DA:O with that account and it'll be there waiting for you.

My friend that works for comicon say that if you created a character using the CC you must register your game under the same login info you used for the CC and your ring will be waiting when you login.
