 So, I just have to know if I'm the only one out here that is NOT buying any more DLC until we know if the problems on the PS3 version are fixable or not. It seems like on the numerous Return to Ostagar and Awakening threads, everyone is unanimously in support of not only the content, but paying for it. I did pay $6.99 for the Warden's Keep DLC (honestly just to try and find some gear to make the last fight easier), and once again, the story was impressive, but on a technical level the game still wasn't "there". 

Further, am I the only one that thinks Bioware is trying to artificially make this franchise seem better than it is by announcing all of this content? And please don't point to the "Game of The Year" awards, I'm asking about singular, personal opinion here. First they announce Return to Ostagar DLC - before the DLC is even available they announce a full expansion...bearing in mind that Mac and PS3 users - some of us anyway - are still struggling to play through the first game effectively. 

It just seems to me like Bioware have developed the same "strike while the iron is hot" mentality that every other game developer except Blizzard has started to develop. I understand that the industry is hyper-saturated and hyper-competitive, but it really just seems like profiteering. Maybe this comes from being part of the World of Warcraft community for so long but I'd like to hear some other thoughts on this.

Ouch lol...but then again...I'm laughing.

I feel for my fellow PS3 owners who don't have Dragon Age on PC. But, since I have it on PC, and I haven't had any major issues, I'll continue to buy DLC.

[Lord Phoebus]

Well I'm not, but that's for an entirely different reason. I figure for the price of 4 DLCs I can get another game, which is a better use of my money than another 2 hours of DA:O.

I'll continue to buy DLC as long as I'm still immersed in the game which will likely be for quite some time. Dragon Age is certainly one of the best RPGs I've played in my lifetime, and I was not disappointed with the value in Warden's Keep.



The 3 friends of mine who did drop the game with no desire to play ever again quit over really bad game-breaking bugs so I suppose as long as I don't run into any of them, I'll continue to purchase the DLC.

I have the PS3 version and I have not come across any bugs and I have completed it twice and I also have all the DLC. I was a bit disappoint with the Wardens keep because it was too short the only thing good about that, was that you get the cool armour of that girl you can kill right at the start. But hopefully Bioware make the next DLC much better and longer.

I won't be buying any more.  I don't understand the point.  Buy a quest that takes 30 mins or less ( dev said possiable 10 mins..) to get "new powerful armor, and weapons!"

ok... what the freak and i supposed to do with these new armor and weapons.  Iv beat the game.  Im not going to play thought again just to use DLC loot. 

[Erakleitos]

Me too, i'm still wating for my credit card

Because you can transfer your character over to the expansion??? And some people like to do extra playthroughs and do the DLC along the way..

True, I had forgotten about that also - I blazed through the whole thing in about 20 minutes, and I'm not what I'd consider a "hardcore" gamer in any sense of the word. 

So, yeah. Disappointed at some of the less mature comments here, but it's good to know that I'm not the only one that's turned off by the glut of DLC. 

[chaosapiant]

As far as I'm concerned, DA:O is SO good I will buy whatever DLC they throw at me. We can argue all day long about what DLC is "worth" in regards to what it adds to the game, but the fact is, for me at least, it adds to the game. I can only approve of this big, wonderful game getting even bigger. Also, yea, I'm glad that the consoles users get to play this game, but it really was meant for PC.

This is true. I'm on the PC, but DA was the biggest dissapointment of 2009 PC gaming. Not that it's a bad game as such, just nothing like as good as I'd hoped and it was hyped. After paying for Wardens Keep and feeling amazingly ripped off, I won't be buying anymore DLC anyway lol.

[Darkest Dreamer]

I'm buying the content more for what it adds to the world, story, and roleplay than the useless items.

[evilhouseboat]

I won't for PC... but I will for PS3.

[Psi Shadowdarkk]

the expansion will have its own new weapons and loot.

iv said it before, i dont understand this trend to treat single player liniear games like a continiues mmo type, it just not the same

[Abriael_CG]

You're probably not the only one. Given the law of big numbers there sure are a few that will deprieve themselves of content in the best western RPG this generation has to offer. More bandwidth for me.

[Rui Pinto]

I have the PS3 version of the game and never had any bugs happen... Completely clean to the end and i have all the dlc available and hoping for return to ostagar and expansion

[nos_astra]

Need moar! And pay for it gladly.

[WoodsDweller]

I did not buy Warden's Keep, and I don't feel like I really missed anything.

I might buy RtO. Probably will, in fact.

I am eagerly awaiting the expansion.



I am always a bit confused about people complaining about the price. Yes, there's a depression going on, but gaming is a great entertainment value for your money. My issue is not a lack of $7 to spend on a little (perhaps very little) game content, but the lack of games that I'm interested in playing.

I am happy to contribute the price of a sandwich to a company that provides interesting content to keep that content flowing.

IMO, the nickel and dime mentality that I presume comes from EA is boring and the apron string relationship is inconvenient.  I chose never to connect to the site from within the game, and not to even look for either the free or the promotional additions.  I think my trouble-free experience justifies this attitude. 

I will probably buy an actual expansion, assuming it is hard copy, independent of apron strings.
