So now we make topics announcing what we are NOT going to do?

I'm NOT going to stop eating meat.

I'm NOT buying a car tomorrow.

I'm NOT going to run in the forest naked.

[zsavk]

Im not going to not buy all DLC that they release!



Love the story, love the setting. There is limitless room for DLC and expansions in Thedas. I say keep it coming and ill gladly keep paying for it.

[Gecon]

DLCs are a stupid idea.

I never downloaded any of that, and never will.

Not even the free one.

[devSin]

I will buy them all.



Assuming they keep selling them for a really long time, that is.

[Plausible Prejudice]

 I'm not buying DLC. It's an pricing method designed to squeeze more profit from less content. 

[AshedMan]

I won't buy them but it's nothing to do with the PS3. I refuse to be nickel and dimed with these little snippets of a game. The only things I'll be purchasing are full expansions like the Awakening. Bioware, please refocus your efforts on large expansions and not miniature DLCs.

I bought the special down load version of DAO from EA games that came with Warden's Keep, The Stone Prisoner, and the Blood Dragon Armor. I've played through the game once and I'm going through it again with a completely new character. I've come across a few bugs, including a big one that I think explains why some have found this game hard, but I'll post that on it's own thread as soon as I have the time. Anyway, even with the bugs, I still have enjoyed the game and will buy Return to Ostagar, and the Awakening expansion pack.

Well the whole forest thing is kinda fun but . . .  I will cool it for a while with the dlc and see what happens. Mostly over what has gone one but also in part because too much of a good thing ruins it. I have a pile of hours logged into dao now and after I finish this play-through I will let it rest for while. Play some other stuff for a few months If I can hold out that long and see whats up later. Maybe I will pick it back up in the spring with the x-pac?

I am sure that is what they intended for us to do anyway. Playing the same game till you puke is a bit wacky anyway.

pc versions of any game rock and they have one thing consoles don't and won't...modability!

Yeah they also have more people that steal accounts than anything, more security breaches happen through PC games, than on console games. Play a game, do a lot of work on it, get your crap stolen by some 10 year old who you owned? That's not an intelligent idea, and before you try bringing up some stupid, "Shoulda had better security!" This day in age there isn't such a thing on the internet, lol. Best security is a 12 gauge and a box of slugs.


OH and I'm not a PC hater, just figured I'd drop that in there.

Guildmaster's Belt cost me £35
Collector's Edition DLC cost me £48
Dalish Promise Ring cost me £10

I'll buy any DLC they release at any price.

I would like to play this game some more, so I will buy DLC. Simple as that.

[empetus]

I bought the deluxe edition and didn't think Wardens Keep was worth it, so that left a bad taste in the mouth of their DLC scheme. So I won't be buying anymore DLC, unless in a year or two it is all bundled together and released for a cheap price, I may get it then if it seems like a good deal.

I may buy them sometime down the road when I do not need to be connected to the internet to use them and they work out all the kinks in the gameplay. I should've waited to buy the game but I cant play wow right now....

If youre on the PC version (I have no idea how consoles are), you don't need to be connected to the internet to play the DLC, just to download it. I've played through Warden's Keep fully while my ISP decided to shut itself off.

[Euteras]

I think it has been pushed back too far. I'm already thinking about the expansion pack. Hopefully that will actually be released. Seems kind of pointless to say you will/won't buy RtO when it may/may not be released.

[ShockwavePulsaris]

BioWare is just one of many companies that has fallen prey to fixing their economic situation with minor updates for what I feel is an exorbitant price.



When the expansion came out for Mass Effect, it was free, and I simply had to deal with some advertisements in order to get the new content. That, to me, inspired me to buy MORE BioWare games because I felt at the time the company was looking to maintain interest in their games in order to have a better audience for future releases.



Thanks to online stores like Sony PS Store, STEAM, etc. it is far too easy to just quickly attach your credit card and buy things on a whim, particularly game updates for a game you may be interested at one point in time or buy content that is 'on sale', when in reality the purchases on them aren't at the level the company desires it at, so they just short sell it to get the numbers up.



For those of you who don't care to identify with this fact, just look at the simple numbers. Sure, you get one hour of extra content for a mere six dollars, right? Well, multiply that times a million or two and all of a sudden you're getting a lot of dividend without really the effort you should have put forward in it. I would be hard pressed to believe I should pay a a tenth of the price of a game (which included the full story, engine, character development, concept idealization, etc.) at the beginning to get a minuscule update that really doesn't add very much. Personally, I feel it's just another gimmick that lazy (generally Americans) buy into because it's just too easy to pick up.



Honestly, BioWare, I truly respected the position of the company initially when DLC was first introduced into the online community, and I am sorely disappointed that yet another one has bought into the scam every other gaming company tries to run.

[Deception_2112]

OP if you mention Blizzard you might also notice that their most popular games are PC exclusive and have never been made for the consoles..



The PC version of this game has very few bugs despite some major ones (Memory leaks). So announcing the expansion isn't really an issue IMO neither is extra DLC.

As the owner of all three current generation consoles (even if one is gathering dust, serving as a nice table lamp for the moment, you can guess which one...), I have to share a giggle to the ones that say that "PC force you to costant updating bla bla bla". That's simply not true anymore. The evolution of the hardware requirements for PC games has slowed down a lot. Nothing in my PC is newer than one and an half year, and it runs DA:O and every other new game i get on max detail without any problem.

So I'm afraid your statement is a little outdated. It's how someone else said in this thread. While many games do shine on consoles (normally the games developed exclusively for them) If you buy the console version of a game like DA:O, you're damaging yourselves.



To the ones whining "x dollars for x hours is too much". Certain games have an high degree of replayability. DA:O Is one of those games. Ergo, your equation is based on a wrong assumption. Fail.

I'm looking forward to any downloadable content they make for this game. Call me a fanboy but I love Biowares RPGs. So genuine.

[Blue_dodo]

I'll buy the dlc if it seems interesting or not and thats that.

[iMario]

the DLC rocks, we need more more more!



Agreed, DA should have been PC only lol

[ModForFun]

If there is a real reason to actualy buy the DLC then I will buy it, but I will not buy DLC that adds nothing more then 30 minuits to an hour of killing mobs that I can allready kill everywhere else, a few lines of party banter and yet another retextured item that allready exist's in the game. All of which can be made by spending a few moments using the utilities currently available.



I have nothing against the console market and I understand that many of the console users appreciate this type of DLC but it looks to me like PC users are getting the shaft in regards to DLC and so I will wait untill the day Bioware releases something meaningful to the PC users as well.

[phordicus]

i will probably wait until summer, check the reviews about content and technical issues, and then make a decision. DAO as it currently stands is like an entertaining but shallow movie that i want to watch only once. any new content is going to have to be about livening up the old as much as slapping on a bit of new.

Unasahamed Bioware groupie who buys the same game twice - for each platform here

[GANTZ 82]

Pc snobery again if it's that good stop moaning and just play the game.Nobody cares how fast your machine runs such and such a game it's just about having fun and there's bugs in every game consoles and Pcs, the difference now is that both can be patched and yes Pcs graphics look better, but to say this will always be the case is just ignorant technoligy is getting better and each console getting more superior generation to generation so watch what you say look how far the simple television has come along.
