Since theirs no ultimate version of Dragon Age 2 were force to pay for the addional DLCs and other sorts small gadgets.

 

10 dollars for
All-class item pack 1
All-class item pack 2


20 dollars
Legacy and Mark of the assassin

10 dollars (240 extra points)
The exiled Prince

Total cost: 40 dollars (The same amount that you're currently charging us to purchase the regular version of Dragon Age inquistion right now!)

 

That is way too much money for download content. I could purchase a brand new game with that much.

You're not obligated to buy it, especially if you can't afford it. If you're complaining about 30$, (Honestly who would want the item pack?) then I suggest you get a better job before complaining about prices.

Yes I am obligated to purchase it... especially Legacy considering the fact of what happens in Inquisition.  I'm not complaining about the 30 dollars but the 40 dollars that it will cost me to purchase these small additions.

 

And I can afford it and you don't need to worry about me getting a better job just to fill in the pockets of EA with virtual addons. I know how to invest in my money, and I know when an item that is for sale is too high, and these items are in fact way too expensive.

 

Let me show you another example of my claim

I can purchase The Elder Scrolls Anthology addition off of amazon for $29.78!

http://www.amazon.co...s9_al_bw_g63_i4

These comes with the following:

Arena: The Anthology features the original version of Arena and will launch within a DOS emulator.
Daggerfall: The ancient golem Numidium, a powerful weapon once used to unify Tamriel has once again been unearthed. The Anthology features the original version of Daggerfall and will launch within a DOS emulator.
Morrowind: To fulfill an ancient prophecy, the Emperor sends you, to the island of Vvardenfell to rid the land of Morrowind of a dark curse. Also includes: Tribunal and Bloodmoon add-ons, plus The Elder Scrolls Construction Set.
Oblivion: With the Empire ready to crumble, the gates of Oblivion open and demons march upon the land. In the shadow of evil, a hero will rise from the ashes of a fallen Empire. Also includes: Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions.
Skyrim: Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. Also includes: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn add-ons.

 

So can you justified the price that EA/Bioware are charging for the additions of Dragon Age 2?

Aye, considering the unfinished state of the actual game, reducing the cost of its DLC should have been a given at launch, nevermind now.

Getting EA to act reasonably in this day and age is not going to get you anywhere. There is a reason they had a falling out with Steam, and why Origins exists...

 

I purchased Dragon Age 2 for $5, that got me the base game and the Black Emporium. That is all I need. The DLC are just off-episodes Hawke historically tramps through regardless of whether you the player purchased it. My advice is to watch the DLC playthroughs on Youtube, make key decisions based on your observations in the Keep and save your money for more important things. 

 

And by more important things, I mean a casual clothes DLC for Skyhold because I will be damned if I buy the game now, knowing I will have to execute my enemies wearing white silk pajamas!

Could not agree more on pretty much every part of this post from EA's greed to Inquisition's 1st DLC needing to contain casual clothes options.  

 

If Shepard can wear Dragon Age's Blood Dragon Armor why can't The Inquisitor wear Mass Effect's Leather Bomber Jacket or N7 LBD?

BTW, I was completely kidding when I wrote this, but seriously there needs to be more casual clothing in Inquisition.

Is it possible to gather bioware point with DAI II so I could buy DLC? It was possible with DA I - I have 560points there, but it doesnt show up in the new webpage and it will not offer me those points - only ingame for DA I. But I didn't find any ingame points in DA II.

Origin points are related to achievements, they are not bioware points.

You'll find that Bioware has strong contractual arrangements with Microsoft and Sony on what they can charge and when they can be in sales.

 

Just keep an eye out for sales, that's when I got mine. They do rotate in far more frequently than most.

Well, that's just peachy...if you have the game on the 360 or PS3.

 

So, when can I and others on the PC get it on sale?  I've been keeping an eye out for DLC sales for ME2/3 and DA2 (the DLC prices are the only thing keeping me from buying the game itself in the first place) for about three years now, and am still waiting.

 

Anyways, I do believe it is high time that the price of DLCs for titles as old as DA2 (as well as ME2/3) be lowered appropriately, given the age of these titles.

 

For those who believe that the DLC prices are just fine, well, they're entitled to their opinions, and if they need a new car in the next four or so years, I'll gladly offer them my current one at full retail price, since they'd probably be fine with that, as well...

EA's under no obligation to put anything on sale at any time to anyone. You're never going to get anywhere with an argument that isn't about DLC sales somehow leading to more profit for EA.

They very well might. There are a lot of people who won't by the DLCs at full price but might at 50% off, and they've already sold DLC at full price to just about everyone who's ever going to buy at full price. Plus folks like EmbitteredOne who won't buy the base game without a DLC sale, but I get the feeling that they're rare.

i do agree the dlcs are over priced. the thing is if you can get something like origins where you get all the dlcs and the main game then its great value. but i dont think da2 has this? PSN is over priced in general so DLC prices are just agh. it's a pain. i bought them recently as I never bothered with the dlcs due to the prices, but eh, i got bored of replaying the main games.

Another annoying thing about Inquisition is that you buy the supposedly awesome super duper deluxe edition and you don't get inclusive DLC???? What kind of horse crap is that??

Wow, could you be any more condescending?

 

Oh, and I certainly never wanted the item packs, especially not for the laughable price they wanted for them.

Because they didn't want to pay someone to distribute their products when they could easily do it themselves? Competition is a good thing, and it'd be good for the entire industry if someone got big enough to actually challenge Valve. That isn't EA, or Ubisoft, or GoG, but it may happen one day.

 

EA vs Valve isn't good vs evil, it's evil vs evil, hands down.

Totally, not even Geralt would be able to make a choice between those two evils.
