I know people who spend hundreds of dollars on weed alone. 15 dollars shouldn't be something that stops you from buying something that you want.
Although the key word here is "want". Don't want it? Don't buy it. Are you feeling like you're missing out? Then buy it for 15 dollars. Done deal.
Hell if this was a $30 DLC just to get rid of the RNG, I'd totallly f*cking buy it as soon as I wake up the day of the launch.

I disagree with this article. I have really been enjoying the area. I think the Avvar are very cool, and the new lore finds are interesting. I've spent about 6-7 hours playing so far and I'm still no where near finishing. I never really cared for the Hinterlands I never really found the exploration in that area to be fun, but I have really been enjoying exploring the Frostback Basin. It is easily my new favorite area. I think the only complaint I have so far is that you really need to be at a high level in order to survive the place, even on casual.This thread on reddit summerises it all. Id love to hear opinions from other people who have played this so far.

What? Hinterlands part 10? BW what r u doing???
Those Avvar make me a heal potion junkie on Casual... 
I like it. And are the fade rifts harder than usual to anyone else? I'm playing on Nightmare and those fade rifts are kicking my ass.
Yeah. Like every other rift has a pride daemon or terror one spawning.
MMO-ish design and boring fetch quests were the biggest complain and they still filled DLC with it? How low you can fall, Bioware?
Side quests in DA:O were atrocious. Please, no more finding random people/items in random locations all around the world map. You know, like Irregulars, Mages Collective, Chantry Board, Denerim Underground...
I think team that is working on DAI just cant produce anything better. Making copypasted tedious filler content is maximum they can do. Talent and passion is gone from this company. Or how to explain this crap they are throwing at us?
Luckily Witcher 3, a real RPG, not far away.
A random person on Reddit says it's crap. They must be correct.
15 bucks? that's cheaper than a Domino's Pizza delivery order.
You don't have to buy the DLC on release, wait til the end of the year and there will be a sale am sure...in the meantime the rest of us will enjoy and let you know how things go
i Want something like dragon age 2 dlc Mark of the assassin

Actually, the person's review is positive. They just think it's a tad overpriced in comparison to other DLC, although a separate dep't developed ME.
Huh, looks like it's a good thing that I'm not jonesing for a second run through DA:I just yet. From what I'm reading, it would be nice to have the JoH DLC (I like adventuring about and fighting stuff, so the lack of solid story wouldn't bother me too much), but $15 is too much for what it brings to the table. So, whenever the second single player DLC comes out (the second one has got to be worthwhile, right? lol) I'll probably grab JoH along with it.
I can't comment on the DLC so technically it's not BW's fault. the price is EA's fault and I think most Aussies are ok with paying 20 dollars for the DLC since our exchange rate is shite (0.77 cents I think this morning)
15 to 20 dollars is reasonable in my books based on said reason. 25 dollars just reeks of price gouging because f u we can since Origin is the only place for getting DLC
I don't care mouch about the 15€, but I'm seriously wondering how Bioware came to the conclusion DA fans might want yet another area filled with rifts, camps and fetch quests? After completing DA3 I feel like I've had enough of that for a lifetime.
Tell us a story Bioware, enrich it with cutscenes and character interactions and combine it with CHALLENGING battles.
Haveing said this however, I'll probably buy it anyway, as usual.
LOL.... don't forget the shard quests.... more shard to fetch....
Yeah. Like every other rift has a pride daemon or terror one spawning.
One of the rifts has four pride demons spawn. That's is why I save my focus powers for emergencies 
Also has anyone been able to complete Guests of the Hold? PM me or post here http://forum.bioware...ts-of-the-hold/
It's definitely worth the $15 to me, it's the best "zone" they have put it out, though I would have liked a few more cut-scene type conversations, I'm not a big fan of the more common method used in DAI. Nearly finished it it I think.

I think the thing is that people do want it, then they play it, then they realise it really isn't what they thought it was and they regret spending the money. For me it was £11 or £12, which isn't too much but if I could change my mind after playing it I would have.
You know those cooking shows you get where they serve the food and the person eating says how much they would pay for it based on how nice it is? It's like that, and after playing JoH I definitely wouldn't pay the same amount again for it.
I would really like it if people stopped acting like $15 is a fortune.
Geez, that's not even half a night out.
On the Australian Origin store it is 24.99, so after reading that information I am a little annoyed at the price jump for a digital download not a psychical copy.

I just checked the currency converter on XE and as of now, it says that 24.99 Au to US = 19.69, so they are definitely charging Au customers more for no discernible reason. (for a digital download)
They said $5-$10 was stretching it for a price range. That's not positive.
Watching some streams of the DLC (can't buy it cause I've got a 360) gives me the impression that it's at the same level as Golems of Amgarrak, which was a full-priced DLC for Origins.
That's about the only thing negative they say, if you take the rest of the review into account.
I love the region in this DLC, compare it to most of the other settings in Inquisition it seems so Stone age. Still hoping for a expansion, But this is a grand DLC Bioware thanks.
15 dollars you think that's over priced. The UK is paying more with 12 pounds so count yourself luck OP.

Considering the economy, 15 bucks for some people is actually a lot to ask for, and if what you get for it isn't all that grand then you've wasted the money essentially.
To me, this DLC is overpriced because it seems like its a repackaged Exalted Plains/or any other explorable zone that is devoted mostly to fetch quests. The original game has 10 of these, so in a way, you can see each zone worth about $7 USD.
If the DLC is another zone with nothing reportedly more innovative in its infrastructure/storytelling comparing to its vanilla counterparts, then why should I pay more than $10? I have a very busy lifestyle and am strapped with expensive, time consuming hobbies, so when I see Origin asking $15 from me to spend 5 hours finding shards, I have to pass.
I don't see much of a point in comparing the cost of this DLC to the money you spend on other entertainment, like a night out. That is easy to explain via opportunity cost. I am happy to spend alot of money on a night out because the opportunity cost of having an awesome time with my friends (rekt or not lol) is way higher than numbing my brain to hours worth of fetch quests. If it was $15 for a Citadel-like DLC, the opportunity cost of having hours worth of engaging, innovative storytelling/gameplay/interactions becomes more compelling and I'm more than happy to shell out the cash for it.
I'm grateful Bioware managed to release Jaws of Hakkon so early in the new year. It's great that they are salvaging all of the content they've made for DAI, and want to share it with us. I'm glad people have managed to enjoy it, and I would love to play this DLC when I have less things competing for my time and money. But I would look upon it more kindly if they improved the DLC based on post-release feedback, and made it more worth $15 and seem less like an afterthought release.
