The black emporium. Or something like it. I want to change my characters appearance anytime of the game.
"hmm I sort of feel menace-like today, let me change my hair color to black w/ a Fu Manchu mustache. Now that will make the ladies jealous :0"

But seriously, I like the mirror again from DA2

I hope that's in the main game. Being in Orlais and all I hope there's tons of new hair styles and salons that just let you change your apperance whenever you want.

It took BioWare forever to add a feature like that and they didn't in Mass Effect 3. I hope it just comes packaged in with the other games now. I like changing a character over time.

You bring up a valid point  which makes me wonder something...

How about an exansion pack that is made up of these smaller piece DLCs? I know Fallout: New Vegas attempted this (somewhat successfully albeit with a disappointing finish.. I expected more from Ulysses after all that time hearing about him).

But let's say 3-4 DLCs which are all tied to a certain plot that when combined can count as an exansion pack of sorts. A complete story all of its own that takes place during the main plot but is completely indepedent of that plot.

The problem with this is that Sony/Microsoft have issues with content being dependent on other DLCs.  Sawyer and Co. ran into it in Fallout: New Vegas too (which he circumvents in his PC hardcore mod).

Damn. That sucks. I guess I get their point though. DLC gets ragged on enough without DLCs being dependent on each other. I can hear it now...

"Oh, to get this the only thing I've ever wanted I've got to buy two things I never wanted! EAWare strikes again."

But... damn. That'd be cool to do. In my opinion, of course.

Post ending campaign.

[comrade8472]

so is this Disk lock content or Download content??? yes there is a difference.

I'm against disk locked content.

Download content: is usually the expansion type stuff.

though I would like to ask that they add add a little polish to the DLC. (like working out the bugs optimizing the DLC and Graphics to run smoother/ly, and that it's actually good*.)

though I'd like to see as much "stuff" in the full game as possible and a little more.

Vampire thread is this way.

I don't want any DLCs, I would prefer an expansion. But I guess my time has passed, and I should set sail to the West, or something.

Second, dlc and expansions are the same idea with different ways of getting the content to the consumer.  You could either wait 1-2 years from the original release of the game for a full expansion. OR have small amounts of content released as it gets made over the course of those 2 years. 

And of course by chopping it into chunks you can inflate the price massively.

I support this.

no dlc, i want the full game let them come up with other things that will keep me coming back fo more rather then locking or removing some content that wasn't ready to be put on the cd at the time due they was fast approaching their time of release

if they can do a dlc make it , but only if its not main part{ like jav from the ashes wasnt really needed to get him but it did give more to the game }

if they couldnt fit on the cd at the time at least make dlc that we can download like they did with shale in the older games when they had the code to open that content that wasn't completed at the time{ not the warden castle and what not}


 and  what someone else said about expac ,yes please but it shouldnt have to be things that came from the main game after the ending, make it new boss  please.

nope it hasnt, i think they should do expac like they did  for dragon age : orgins.

but please do not make it feel like it wasnt  really a expac, i mean seriously awakenings felt really short to be considered a true expac

- Something like the Black Emporium, with a Mirror of Transformation and the Maker's Sigh, as well as a possibility to buy stuff later if you miss them during a mission and can't go back. This would be a Day-1 DLC.

- Weapons and/or armour, unless the customization for armour is so good that I enjoy mixing and matching (doubt it but will keep an open mind). I love stuff that gets better as your PC levels up. There should be one Day-1 DLC (possibly a preorder bonu) that doesn't break the balance of the game, with more powerful stuff coming later.

- Optional extra adventures that wouldn't fit in the main story, like Mark of the Assassin and Legacy for DA2, both of which were great, as well as perfect as extras. Playing them added a lot of fun stuff, but not doing so didn't really detract from the game as a whole. Also made it possible for the team to do something a little different, which turned out great in my opinion.

- New companions. If there are companions that aren't essential to the story and therefore end up being cut, it'd be cool to get these companions later on. I definitely don't mean as Day 1-DLC though. I still feel that my first DA2 playthrough was seriously hampered by the lack of Sebastian's perspective on the intrigue from the Chantry's point of view. Also, since we can probably trust the DA developers to give us an equal amount of LI for all players, the new companions wouldn't need to be romancable if cost for such was an issue.

I do feel very strongly about not wanting the DLC to be necessary for getting the full experience of the main campaign. It should be optional (but enjoyable) content for those of us who want moaaare of everything.

I like self contained adventures like Legacy, Soldier's peak, and MotA (Though they have their issues)

DLC: We travel to some forrest in Orlais, we find the Normandy crash site.

Anyway, DLC is not profitable in the long run, DLC is only for those who have internet connection, so the target market is for those who have internet connection only. And some of those who have internet have slow connection, they wont download anything.

While expansion is more profitable, because everybody can buy.

lol! Great way to hope DLC stops or don't happen. Contrary to what you are saying DLC does sell well,especially when giving the right things. You have marketing research professionals who will tell companies what will and will not sell as DLC. 
Your post about the internet is very funny. Millions and millions of homes have internet services. A matter of fact the majority of these homes do most things from.....the internet. No matter how much DLC is hated it's here to stay. I'm against it too, but if I can get something I want in the game others don't want through DLC I'm for it.

"Majority of profit from Dragon Age: Origins DLC was from launch DLC""Having something post-ship is absolutely essential," BioWare director of online development Fernando Melo told an audience at GDC Europe today, during his discussion of day-one DLC, online passes and long-term monetization. Shipping DLC on the day of launch is essential from a business standpoint – Dragon Age: Origins[/i], for example, saw 53 percent of all of its paid DLC transactions solely from sales of its day-one DLC packs, The Stone Prisoner and Warden's Keep.

Ya, I dont get that policy at all.  Seems incredibly short sighted.

I'd say hold off on DLC, until you see what players have to say about the game. Use it as a way to address issues and expand on what's good. Not just pump out item packs.

Foir example, Age of Mythology, that is the actuial game, Age of Mythology : The Titans is the expansion that are not add things in the original game but add new campaign, factions and monsters, the whole new game that continue the original game

While DLC is as example, Dragon Age 2 is the actual game, The Exiled Prince ADD Sebastian as one of the optional companion in the original game

Edit :

DLC is a bad and evil marketing strategy....they made the whole thing first, then they separate the contents making it DLC...

First; this "they made the whole thing first, then they separate the contents making it DLC" is completly false.  

Second, dlc and expansions are the same idea with different ways of getting the content to the consumer.  You could either wait 1-2 years from the original release of the game for a full expansion. OR have small amounts of content released as it gets made over the course of those 2 years. 

This thread also proves my next point, different people want different things (some nothing at all)

DLC packs give you the option to buy (or download, for free ones) only the things you want.  In skyrim for example, I bought the vampire DLC, but not the Hearthfire one because building a house doesn't interest me and killing vampires does.  If it was an expansion I would probably have to pay more for something I would only use half of.

If it's value for the dollar you're talking about I wouldn't hold up DLC as having an advantage over expansions. The pricing of DLC doesn't seem dollar for content based. Omega is going to be $15 apparently and you can get ME3 for under $30.

Expansions usually aren't half-features and side quests that you'd want to pick and choose from either.

It's not going to happen. If you read my previous post you'll know that companies see success in immediate DLC. Day one DLC is were the money is. Many companies don't like going backward adding things to games.
