I just completed the game and loved it, however, why would I buy more content now that my character is dead. Obviously I could go back to a save point and replay the ending so that I survive, but that goes against the whole idea of story and developing a character. Of course I could also make another one, but that wouldn’t be fun because I already know the story, so I am confused and wondering why I would want to buy more content when I no longer have a character.

2nd playthrough

So you're saying you've bought a game you only intend to play once?

[RedRobinRobber]

So you can make a new character with a different personality, class, specialization, change team-mates, you know, add a little sauce to the mix, maybe play through naked all the time? it might just be me but i think this game has the most re playability of all the games that have come out in the past year. Not to mention the side-quests for a couple more hours....



Thats just me tho

Clearly this content is not then intended for you.

Don't buy it.

DLC content that is played after the end takes place just after the landsmeet, before the final battle and all that.  So your character isn't dead just yet.  No need to replay the ending.

Although, as far as replaying the game, if you've only played through it once, then there's elements of the story you don't know.  6 origin stories, after all, as well as a few places where you can go one of two ways (elves vs WWs, anvil, Dwarf king).  And, last but not least, new DLC.

Given the play length of DLC versus the cost though, well, more worth it if you play it more than once.

I'd buy new content, but for some reason, this site doesn't take my card, and my paypal is having problems, though everywhere else, my card works fine. Go figure.



Anyway, new content will certainly enhance your future playthroughs, add more to the game, give you new stuff, and from what I've read, easter Eggs.

This seems like a cleverly written "DLC's should be free" thread. I like the DLC idea and I am willing to pay £5 for an extra hour of entertainment.



My only thing against the DLC thing, is they not releasing them fast enough.

My character reclaimed wardens keep after sacrificing himself. If you had the patience to sit through the credits you would know you can still do DLC

troll?

[Skellimancer]

Should sell cemetery plots as DLC

[buzzboy962]

I downloaded The Wardens Keep to and it fit very well within the plot of the campaign. My disappointment was based on the concept that Dragon Age Origins was the beginning of an epic story. Not a one off where you can buy some content for additional game play. I was expecting a serial novel not episodic TV.

I am not criticizing the work BioWare did. I am praising the game, however, it seems to me that the concept of an epic story was not part of the design. So, I am sad. Not angry.

[Adria Teksuni]

Episodic tv, to me, means that the game we bought would have had an unfinished story, no epic climax, no epilogue, and DLC would progress that storyline. We have an epic climax, an epilogue, and the DLC does not forward the main plot line.



It is more along the lines of a novel as we are getting additional chapters that fit well within the book as it is.



I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on every point. I appreciate the DLC not only for the content and how that content fits into the storyline, but that I get the opportunity to play more with a PC and companions I've grown to like very much. I didn't want the game to end, and the DLC gives me more of that immersion into a fantastic world and keeps the game fresh.

[SarEnyaDor]

I guess the real answer is YOU wouldn't. I, however, very much would. Eight complete playthroughs and counting.

You fight giant dragons(several times) participate in great battles and adventures/events and shape the world around you. I mean all your missing is a single despotic ring and a volcano but that can just be fixed with new DLC

[buzzboy962]

Obviously we have different concepts of epic. So be it, not going to argue about it. Doesn’t diminish my love of the game, just means at this time I am not excited about new content.

On a side note, do not be surprised if we do not see much content until the KOTOR MMO is up and running. The company moved the majority of their resources to completing that massive project. So, unless content is basically done, we will not see much happening for some time.

[Adria Teksuni]

*shrug* Already have more DLC for this release than any other Bioware release, plus Return to Ostagar nearing a release date and patches. I'm pretty happy with the start of the DLC run. Besides which, I doubt that they are going to ignore this potential cash cow.

Damn you, I wanted to make the LOTR jab in there LOL. Jolly well done.

I guess it could be not classed as Epic, if you go about your daily life fighting dragons more than once.. I suppose.

[T-Kay]

Now that I see how people rate this story as epic I suddenly understand why people like Halo.

I concur... I am getting more things to do with my SIX characters, wait, make that seven. Ser Barton was made and needs to get leveled.

Name one truly epic storyline that did not span multiple books/movies/games. Go on, I'll wait.

You buy DLCs if you have finished the game, but want more. Baldur's Gate didn't have that option, but now Dragon Age does, due to the gaming public's acceptance of buying games online.

It's because of fruitcakes like you that this entire DLC rippoff thing works. An hour of extra entertainment for 5 pounds dollars euros whatever?? Are you even reading what you just posted? An hour is not worth 5 of any western currency! If this game has 50 hours of gameplay that would mean you're willing to pay 250 pounds for this game!

DLC's are overpriced and a cheap way to milk more money out of an incomplete product by luring in fanboys.

[Original182]

I wouldn't put it as harshly as T-Kay, but it's true.

Dragon Age $50 takes 80 hours to complete the game. That doesn't include replays.

A $5 DLC should then take 8 hours to complete, without replays.

But people still buy it despite knowing it only lasts 1 hour. You are buying something that is only 1/8th of what it should be.
