I will hold my hands up and admit I've never really played DA2 for one reason. I don't have all the DLC.

 

Which made Inquisition great fun because I had no idea who this Corypheus bloke was since he's, you know, part of one of those DLC's I didn't have.

 

I actually did the maths. To get all the DA2 DLC costs 2960 Bioware Points. 2960 Bioware points costs, in my currency, £29.60. DA2 costs £3.99. DAI: GOTY edition is on sale at the moment for £14.99 but normally costs £29.99. A whole 0.39p more expensive than 2 item packs and three relatively small DLC. Which seems ridiculous bearing in mind the game's been out for 5 years and yet Inquisition, which hasn't even been out for two years yet, has far more reasonably priced DLC (especially considering the Game of the Year edition is regularly on sale)

 

So my question, before these forums go boom, is whether it is at all possible to get the DA2 DLC for a reasonable price?

I assume you want them for PC since you are talking about Bioware Points, then you are not going to get a discount, at least there hasn't been a discount since the game exists (I do not remember any), in fact, the price of Bioware Points has increased. In ps3 (and xbox360 too I guess) there is sometimes discounts for DLCs but in Origin there hasn't any for Bioware Points.

 

It is ridiculous that those overpriced DLCs aren't getting cheaper over time. They were already overpriced on release with the previous price of 16€ for 1600 Bioware Points, now with 20€ is just stupid.

 

The only way of getting a discount that I now of is using some discount coupon for Origin (although I haven't heard of anyone from a couple of years, I used to get one for my birthday), even then there is still the possibility that those coupons won't work with Bioware Points.

You can try buying the points in Russian currency. Should possibly be cheaper. Use a vpn or proxy and then on the checkout the prices should stay cheap

I'm told that Origin had two 30% off sales increased the past year; Christmas and summer. I did not see this for myself.

It's really very simple:  If they are "overpriced", (as far as you are concerned) don't buy them.  If you want them, and consider them worth the price, do buy them.  Your money, your decision.  Whinging that something "should be cheaper" only marks you as a fool, or a child.

Totally unnecessary comment.

Two DLCs that have 5 years old are the same price as the DAI GOTY, isn't that "overpriced" to you?

Anyway I'm free to complain about whatever I want. If your only way of prooving me wrong is insulting me then you have failed (it could have been a nice refutal if the bolded comment wasn't there).

In which case, would you mind explaining to me how two DLC's - one of which is almost integral to actually understanding the plot of Inquistion and the other which is involved - and a couple of item packs cost almost exactly the same as the full game plus DLC plus item packs of Inquisition. 

 

Or how two DLC's and item packs are worth seven and a half times more than the actual game they're addons too? 

 

Games, generally speaking, depreciate in price. Origins has. DA2 has. Inquisition has. What makes these DLC's apparently immune to depreciation?

No one, least of all EA, has to "explain" anything. 

 

It's simple: You think it's worth the price, you pay it.  You don't, you don't.

Whinging about how it "ought" to be a different (lower) price is, as I said, the argument of a fool or a child.
