I still think Sony just put pressure on them to wait till all 3 platforms could be released at once.


Personally this is what I believe happened


ok, so when is update for sony online strore?


Logic says that any update for the 3 platforms will come from this site from Bioware. That does not mean Sony is not using their influence here though. But who knows you may get info on you sony online store first with the way bioware seems to be leaking stuff out prematurely. It's all up to speculation at this point.

 This was an interview at IGN and the reason for delay......


IGN: Origins has been supported by a large amount of DLC from launch. The most recent of which, Return to Ostagar, has been delayed until the end of January at the earliest. Is there any explanation as to why the delay occurred? Is it solely to release the DLC for all three platforms at the same time, or was there another issue? 

Fernando Melo:No, it has nothing to do with platforms themselves. It's a quality issue where, literally, at the last minute, we spotted something that had made it through our own testing, EA's testing and was at Microsoft already. But it applies to all three platforms; it wasn't something specific to Microsoft, we just happened to catch it there first. We probably could have gone with it, but it's something that was serious enough that we felt it impacted the quality [of the DLC] and we made the choice to delay it to give our fans the best experience with it. That was the reason behind [the delay] -- we want to make sure that we don't cut any corners when we do the DLC. There's already a lot of content out, there's a lot more coming -- we just announced the expansion pack, and there's more coming after that. I think the worst thing we could do after that is do anything "to poison the well," to use the expression, or put fans off from feeling that they're getting the best content from us. It's a long term decision instead of a short term decision.

Seriously, the first thing I wanted to do was go back to Ostagar and loot someone's beard, armor, and earring. If it's not there....fine. But at this point to complain about the price seems unreal. You might as well go ahead and call me a sheeple and complain about DLC in general. All other arguments have already been posted with regard to the delay and lack of announcements as well as the price of DLC.

OK. Maybe that was an unnecessary rant. I'm just used to following this post and want to see more positive stuff.

How are you going to loot his beard rip it off him? then strip him naked and rip off his earing, Thats no way to pay him back.


Did i miss something?? I don't remember Duncan getting killed...i remember an ax hitting him. I believe he is still alive and we will not find any evidence of him...hence the returning character in in the expansion

I've read this before it may be true or may not. Only the executives in the know will know for sure. It just sounds like a blanket PR statement to me to quiet peoples tempers about the whole thing especially since slightly altered variations of this same statement has been spammed on the other official threads about this DLC that were later locked. all I know is at this point the longer they take to release this DLC . The less hype of it remains and the more people are just moving on to other games at this point.

People obviously don't know how to read thats why, and this is not the thread for this type of discussion anyway. Although I think Bioware should make an official thread for that topic and expain how that could happen and give a platform of discussion for it.

That is some badass armor. And there are only 3 styles of leather armor in the game :(

If they delayed to add it in, i'd actually be happy.

Oh and sephris....you would be truly amazed and staggered...at exactly how many people have Bioware points that they have PAID for sat on their accounts right now, in the anticipation of RtO being out yesterday.

Bioware have been paid their dues, EA are getting theirs, and right now, my money is not earning me money becasue its no longer in mym account, its in Biowares/EA's....

Do not be fooled, they have thousands sat in the bank from pre paid points orders....now, if Bioware pay back the interest that my money is collecting in their account....then fair enough...if they are not going to do that, then Id like an explanation of what went wrong. Can I help, probably not, but least i'd know.


*raises hand* :crying: Actually...I've had it since Dec. 23.....since 2 days before the other due date...


You just spent 5 bucks. . . . I spent 20 . .  . .Damn M$oft points cards. . . Sure I can use it for other things, but really at this time there is nothing out I am willing to pay for.  :crying:

It it quite clear that Alistair is a returning character, but their is no mention of him being the single returning companion.

You confuse returning character with returning companion.

Alistair is coming back, just not as a companion.  Watch the trailer, there's a couple of scenes of a dwarf that is pretty obviously Oghren fighting with the group.  Apparently Oghren's the "old fan favorite" coming back as the companion from Origins... which is fine by me, I love Oghren's lines in the game.  Very typical dwarf.  :)

If you didn't see it announced here by one of the devs, then I'd put no stock in it watsoever.
