i hope its somewhat true. however if this massive dlc doesn't come out on the ps3, bioware can kiss my dlc money good bye... if, it turns out to be true. in the mean time, i'll wait for official word. (please bioware, you started so well treating the multi platform game equally... don't let this content start the mistreatment).

Interesting.

It would be great if it was true. But I would be surprised if they could create a major expansion so quickly.

What is so quick about it? DAO was basically done last summer and put on hold for the console versions. yes they polished and added more to it, but they could ofd certainly split the team and set people off on an expansion. 

I have more of a hard time believing they think they can sell a 15 hour expansion for $60

I hope a mod tells us if this rumor is not true because hoping for such a thing only to be majorly dissapointed is just to painfull. The rumors details are confusing. I had hoped that we could continue with our original main character from a previous playthrough. I hope this gets striaghtened out soon.

March doesn't actually seem that much of a stretch when you think about it, here is my reasonisng.



The game was originally meant to be released early January 2009 right however was delayed so the console ports could properly be completed so it would make sense if the story, characters have been developed and it's currently in beta testing.

Why?

Considering one of the BIGGEST game conventions is held in Germany.

Also I don't know where people get this crazy hourage from. I played the game through and read everything, opened everything, listened to everyone talk, did every sidequest and didn't skip anything and I got it done in 41 hours.
No idea how it takes people longer than that.

Because more then likely you didn't do everything. You may think you did, but there is no way you beat the game doing everything in 41 hours unless you played on easy, maybe normal. Lot's of hidden things in the game, quests that never pop up in your journal that are hidden in the codexs, a lot of things and people that are easy as hell to miss. Like I said unless you played one easy I don't see any way you can beat the game doing every little thing and reading all the codex in 41 hours.

I played it through on Normal and completed everything, read every codex entry, did every hidden quest. 41 hours.

I'm a very experienced RPG player so maybe this comes into account. But anything over 50 hours on 1 playthrough...I mean...what the hell?

[packardbell]

Please don't include everyone in your little group, just because YOU completed everything in the game in a set amount of time does not mean anyone else did, why is that so hard for you to grasp?

[Wonderllama4]

I should have waited for the GOTY edition

Just found this link, that actually gives a price and listed under a dealer in New Zeland it seems;

kotaku.com/5437942/dragon-age-retail-expansion-coming-in-march

If lm reading it right, $40 for an exspansion...seems a little high?

Hi. Welcome to Australia & New Zealand. We pay pretty much double what the rest of the world does for games for no good reason except the distributors are enjoying reaping the benefits from charging exactly the same price as when exchange rates were far different than they are now.

Going by your profile, it took you 48 hours on one playthrough, 46 on another.
Just saying.

And lm sorry, but you had to have skipped conversations, codex readings, and been in high speed to get those times on your first go.

Ive been playing rpgs since P.O.R back in 88...and my first playthrough was around 60 hours, and l doubt l did EVERYTHING.

I keep reading that consoles seem to slow the progress of DLCs and expansions .... Could you imagine how much more content we would see if there was no console versions?

Right... cuz IGN got scooped by some German blog... and they're stealth releasing a boxed X-Pack in two months without any advertisement or fanfare...



Maybe Bio's announcing development on a boxed X-Pack in March and the krauts just missed something in translation. LOL

How much advertising do you think really needs to be done for a small expansion. Two months of hype and little tidbits of info is plenty for something that contains 15 hours worth content. Advertising costs money and you got to make sure the amount you spend is relative to the product you're putting out.

lol i'm not saying they werent a success, they made tons of money for Bioware/EA. Just sayin, that it sucks that consoles are being very annoying when it comes to getting additional content released for them. I cant remember what Rob said in the RTO thread, but didnt it have to do with getting certificated or authorized or something on the PS3?

Anytime

[Darpaek]

Announcing development and later a gold date is free advertisement - and something they would have done with more than two months notice. LOL

[TheMadCat]

Why? Weather they announce it with two months or twelve months prior to release the general effect is still going to be the same. We're talking about a little 15 hour expansion pack here, not the full blown sequel.

[totertot]

Does it have griffons in it?



...



Srsly, I will buy *everything* available for DLC for this game. Keep it coming!!!

[Sledge454]

If there really is 15 hours of content in this expansion, then the level cap may be raised.

[Aruthos]

can we get all bugs fixed in the origins first >.> like cpu affinity optimization



also another 40$ for the expansion...-sigh-

[Altharas]

Maybe this is just me with weird definitions of words, but how is making a new character an expansion? DLC, sure. But an expansion? Making a new character for a 15hour adventure isn't expanding on anything.



Maybe it's just me, meh
