So why are you blaming the game company for you not paying attention to your usage habitats. You can see how big a file before you download them.If you knew it would take a long time to download a moderate size file you should have not downloaded it in the first place and not have had a $80 bill. If your internet plan is not meeting your needs you should upgrade or switch to another  provider also you could wait till your quota of bandwidth usage is available for such downloads. I took a look at your profile and seen you live in Australia so looked around at some company's that provide internet service there are some that do not charge you for going over but cut your speed down for the remainder of the usage time here's some links so you can compare Them to your provider iinet and  Westnet.  They both have ways of  slowing your speed rather then just charging a fee for the overage.  If these two are not in your area look around some and see whats available for you.  Knowing is half the battle!

Don't worry, the next DLC will just be one room with a single NPC that just points and laughs at your low d/l restrictions.

I have Slow Internet Speed. So I want small files.

Where do you live?

I'm asking because I'm making a world map of places I never ever ever ever ever want to go...

If you can even GET an internet connection that slow, whereever you live is one of them.



For christ sake, my phone has quicker and cheaper internet. Much quicker and much cheaper.

You seriously cannot blame game company's for obviously either getting screwed by your ISP or living in the stone age.

320MB is miniscule, that's a 2 minute download right there.

[SurferX0]

200MB/month...wow seriously I don't even know you can surf the internet normally these days with such a ridiculously low limit unless you turn images and flash animations off. Why would you even opt to download anything at all outside of a normal web site on a connection like that? That's seriously your own fault.

You really should change your ISP, you know. ))

Why? I am happy with that service. If a better service comes a long then I will.

[Kourd]

You guys have 200 and 300 meg limits?? That's like the size of an HD movie trailer download.. geezus. I suppose if all you did was surf with it you're getting a deal.. but then you've yourself to blame in this scenario.



Why in the world did you think they where gonna be so small? They're like mini-expansion packs unless you just stick to unlocking items. The modules have custom content.. and I assume are fully voice acted like the rest of the game. Sound and music always equate to large file sizes.



On top of all that it does state exactly how big each DLC download is in the in game menu... before you download it.

There's your issue. Don't use 3G for anything other than serfing. Especially don't download with a 200MB limit in the age of 8mb/s internet.

It cost you because you assumed something you shouldn't have.

I do only surf the internet with it. That is what it is for.

You downloaded downloadable content. That is not "surfing".

[DragonRageGT]

He's a troll! And a dumb one too!

Could set up a remote access to his home machine and d/l it from there... I guess...

[Delikar]

You don't have to download the content to play the game.......

All of it is optional....

I also love how everyone who is ragging on you is suddenly a troll...considering you were the original troll on the forums.

It still amazes me that people can make idiotic mistakes and have this inability to admit its their own fault.

[JamesMoriarty123]

Klownkill, sorry m8 but you are just monumentally stupid.

Going with an internet provider with a download limit is FOLLY if you plan on playing any modern game. Jesus most patches are over 100mb these days.

And unless you've been living in a village on Easter Island for the last 3-4 years you'd realise that 320mb is NOTHING.



This is on you klownkill, no one else.

[seesobebo]

Browsing and posting in forums also counts against Your quota. (:

Dude, I pay $180 / month (cable + HD + DVR + HBO) and 8 mbps dl speed. No download limit. I thought I was getting violated. Your ISP takes the cake though. I've never heard of such a ridiculous thing!

Ouch, what kind of service do you have? I have Uverse and pay only $92/month for unlimited 6mb, 200 channel HD, (all TV's have DVR). The $180 seems very high.

Bioware have made me angry. I downloaded my 2 DLC items from the game downloader and because of the huge size 320MB+ That has cost me almost $80 just for 2 unlocks in game from excess data usage. This is a discrace. There should be some warning that the file is large. I was expecting no more then 10mb per activation item

you expected 10 megs?? seriously did you take a look at the contents? you think you can get whole new areas dialogue and everything in 10 megs? of course it takes some space

are you looking for something to ****
about?.... 320mb is not that much considering the game is
20gb+.

Please don't lies as I installed it from 1 DVD and it
says the game folder is 15GB not 20gb+

You went over your "phone bill" and are blaming someone else?









Isn't that Judge Judy is for?

Where did I say any thing about a phone bill?

Kaeloree wrote...







320mb is... well, relatively
small, really. I'm not sure what kind of games you're used to, but, uh,
modern games are huge. Graphics and audio take up an awful amount of
space, and BioWare aren't slacking with either.

I don't care the
size of the game. I have a monthly download quota of 200MB/month as I
am at work and won't be home till monday, Bigpond charge 25cent/MB
excess. I had 35MB left before I got the Download content.

It's your ISP you should be angry at.

So its my isp's fault that dragon age unlockables are 300MB( Very confused now)

Nizel138 wrote...



If you thought that each dlc
would be 10MB then obviously you neglected to research them. Warden's
keep is in a new zone, the cinematics alone are higher than 10 megs.



Stop trolling.

Why not include it on the DVD?

back pain wrote...

so you went over your internet
usage and your blaming bioware, man you suck.

Please troll some
where else please unless you have something useful.

Your biggest mistake is being with Bigpond. I highly advise you get a new ISP like internode (www.internode.on.net) Bigpond and Telstra are the devil. It's your own ignorance that is at fault here.

[ThankfulTank]

its not like you absolutely needed that bonus content to play the game right after installing it from your dvd. patience anyone?

[KEMKA]

You've admitted it yourself - you couldn't find the size of the download content but you went ahead and took the risk of downloading it anyway, despite your limited download limit while at work. How do you have anyone but yourself to blame?

In this day and age game downloads aren't usually very small, that's a given, even still the download isn't excessively large by anyones standards so why would Bioware need to give a warning? Like you said, your work int was chosen for coverage, not so you could downloads things?

[Raene Jagad]

Some posters are just pure trolls.



You knew your plan and still downloaded it even though it displayed the size.



I fail to see the bit where bioware put a gun to your head and forced you to download it via 3G.



Personal responsibility - take it and stop whining.



S: I'd have felt robbed at the size if the DLC's had been any less.

Thats not true. With DOW2 there was barely any download to unlock the special bonus items it was installed with the dvd.

Something that comes on a DVD is not downloadable content. In case you didn't know, DLC means DownLoadable Content.

[kordan13]

To be fair with the OP, when i redeemed my codes and restarted the game (i have auto-login enabled) the game started downloading all content with no popup or warning...



Now, klown mate, if you did go into the DLC menu, actually saw the size and didnt stop it... I'm sorry, but i don't think it's Bioware's duty to warn you about download sizes, just because you assumed they would be small because of the DLC in another game from another company etc etc.



And yes, two of the DLC parts (Stone Prisoner and Warden's Keep) have new areas, new voice parts, even a new character... So that's gonna take up some space.

[killahsin2k]

maybe u should have researched the content size?

[Skyplatoon]

maybe u should cry moar?

[JP2000]

Sorry OP. The idea that you'd ever download anything like DLC when it's over limited 3G quotas is, well, a bit daft.

[Margoshi]

I get the feeling this guy is dumb as **** or we're being trolled. You only use it for surfing the internet, yet you downloaded this 'huge' file and are complaining? Since when does downloading game patches count as surfing?
