EA has announced a selection of downloadable content for Dragon Age: Origins, which will conveniently be available right at launch. However, unlike most launch DLC, which elicits complaints of ripping off customers by holding back content that clearly could have been on the disc, most of this DLC is intended only to rip off people who buy used copies of the game.

The "Stone Prisoner" DLC, which includes a new Golem character, has been previously announced as free to new buyers and $15 to those who don't have the code in the box, or buy it past the April 30 cutoff date. The "Blood Dragon Armor," which offers a new suit of, well, armor, will also be included. No price is given for a non-bundled download of this armor. The "Warden's Keep" download offers an entirely new "dungeon-exploring adventure" with exclusive items and even new player abilities. This will be $7 to download, or free to people who buy the "Digital Deluxe Edition" of the game.

The fact that no reference is made to the packaged collector's edition, and the fact that it seems to have disappeared from both GameStop and Amazon make us question its status. We're checking with EA about that -- and thinking of something else to put on the wall where we had planned to hang that cloth map.





Dragon Age lead systems designer George Zoeller has explained that it was BioWare's decision what to put in the DLC and what to charge for it.
"For what it's worth, EA has nothing to do with this. The game was designed with limited inventory for a number of reasons, the least of which being to limit save-game size and therefore load times," commented Zoeller on a Fidgit article.
"I'm fine with you being upset about the item limit design in the game - and fine with you being upset about the chest being included in the DLC, but I must protest the 'Oh, EA is pushing the limit for more money' tag-line, because that's just not what has happened.
"I categorically reject that any features or game systems in this game were designed or removed to 'bilk users for more money'," he added.
Dragon Age: Origins launches on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 tomorrow. Three batches of DLC will be available from launch, and one of them - Warden's Keep - needs to be paid for. The other two - The Stone Prisoner and Blood Armour - are free to all legitimate owners of the dark fantasy RPG.
