Spoils of the Avvar DLC

I'll probably wait to pick this up. $5 is a bit much for a bunch of re-skins and random placeables (none of which I'll ever even use).

Armor is tintable, however you only get the pure white base color if you use the already-made armor you get in the "special deliveries" box. If you start with crafted armor, the unchangeable base color is... beige.
Forget Scout Harding's jokes about elfroot. I want the next awkward joke to be about the Inquisitor's unwavering fixation with the (non-)color beige.

Wow, that's... wow. You know, if you're going to make a DLC like this (mostly aesthetic), try to make the stuff you get look cool. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not too fond of the looks of any of the mounts, the armours, or the Skyhold decor. I already have tier 4 armour (and weapons) from JoH and the BE, so this DLC is pretty pointless. And overpriced, but whatever, I'm not buying it.

I don't usually criticize but if there are no new weapons then I am just stunned. Mounts and armor but no weapons? I cant believe it.
As much as I would love more hair, a better skyhold outfit and the ability to complete skyhold construction, I accept the fact that we likely wont see this. I just cant figure out why no new weapons.... makes no sense to me;.

Whilst the price of it doesn't exactly break the bank. Weak content like this doesn't deserve to be rewarded with a sale.
It's more useless fluff instead of actual story content.

Kind of odd to be coming out with this now. Why not release it with JoH?
Because then they couldn't have charged $4.99 (USD) for it, in addition to charging $14.99 (USD) for JoH DLC. This way, they make more money. I don't necessarily agree with this practice, but at least it doesn't appear to be a redux of Bethesda's Horse Armor DLC fiasco. Also, and I realize I am definitely speculating here, perhaps EA / Bioware is testing the waters (so to speak) and is seeing if people are willing to pay a relatively nominal amount for a few extra in-game options. Maybe (and I stress maybe) if this DLC does well, then we might see a DLC for new character customizations. That is what I am hoping for, anyway.

This is honestly the first Dragon Age DLC I will not buy. Sorry Bioware, I'll save my money for a story DLC, I own both the Legend of Thedas collectors edition, I got the Inquisitors Edition of the game and I have the actions figures, but no, I will not pay for this. Even I draw the line somewhere (I believe my boyfriend will be shocked and relieved)
I hate item packs (and still I bought them for DAII) and there is nothing here that interests me at all.
I would be willing to pay the 5 USD for hairstyles and, well, I don't hate the Skyhold outfit as much as most others (trust me, I think it's terrible, but I don't really care that much) but I would like to be able to tint it at least.

We know story DLC will come along eventually. Demanding it be hurried along probably isn't what we should be asking for.
I'm generally not an item pack person, the item packs are the only DA2 DLC I didn't pick up. But I really like the Avvar pack--I was eyeing those Avvar armors. ![]()

An item pack? Nah.
It's a MOUNT pack that coincidentally contains 2 medium armors. Not happy with the way it completely changes the Iron Bull's body type, either. I am disappoint.

You know what other cosmetic pack they could make with minimal effort that would generate possibly more revenue than this one? A hair and Skyhold outfit pack. Seriously.
Do you get up every morning, shut off your alarm, and immediately sigh and say to yourself, "If only we had more hair options in Inquisition"?

I know I'm not the only one that barely uses a mount. In fact, the only time I am mounted is in the Hissing Wastes, and that's only to go shopping or if I feel like getting the camps secured before I start questing. Otherwise, I'm killing mobs, or gathering nodes or trying to listen for banter in every other zone I'm in. Also, good weapon schematics are pretty same-y and tough to come by as it is.
I'm glad for yet more armor options (considering that's been my biggest gameplay complaint with the base game,) but yet more mounts? I have two that I ever use. The starting horse and then the Dalish Charger once I get it.

If this was integrated into Jaws of Hakkon, JoH would be fair by its price. Sigh.

Everyone is greedy, my dear. Try to understand the reality, will you?

Well this should had been in the first DLC, also a lost opportunity for some race theme armor that is lacking like the Qunari and Dwarf.

Giving us the ability to tint it should at least be put in. That wouldn't create nearly as many hurdles for them to go through and the mechanics of tinting the outfit are already in the game.

Just because I voice my opinion vehemently and relentlessly doesn't mean it keeps me up at night. I can provide my feedback in a serious manner without it meaning it's the only thing in my life. That said, I am reminded of it whenever I visit these forums or play the game, so I am reminded frequently.

Never been an item pack kind of person myself. That said, this isn't exactly a new practice, every game in the series, and every BW game since Origins has had item packs. The price point is very steep though, especially considering it's themed the same way as Jaws, and I considers Jaws' price point to be steep. I agree with the person who said that if this was packaged with Jaws, then $15 U.S. would be a fair price for the DLC.
As it stands, from a value standpoint, I'm looking at 2 paid DLCs, with about $12-13 U.S. worth of content, that cost $20 U.S.
At the moment, I'm looking at it as a minor slip, instead of precedent, because, for the most part, I got my money's worth out of BW's DLC all through last gen (Awakening, and Omega excluded*)
* I actually don't own Omega, but that's due to its price being too high for what was offered.
