When they did the announcement for Awakening they said it was the first expansion, to me that suggests there will be others. As I understand it, I'll be able to import my character from DA:O into Awakening. My question is when I finish Awakening and the next Expansion comes out, can I import from Awakening into the new one? Or will I only be able to import from DA:O?

I am betting there will be at least 1 more expansion pack. They will likely allow you to transfer your character to the next one after completing Awakening. We don't know for sure if there will be another one however.

Well, if DA:O will be like the Sims, I expect expansions out at rate of 1 expansion per month, for a total of... 12?

In my Dragon Age menu it says 'other campaigns'. I take that as a hint that more than one expansion is planned.

I don't expect it to be as frequent as the Sims, but they have made a promise of 2 years of DLC and expansions and have announced Awakening as the "1st".

I really wouldn't expect that many expansions. One, maybe two if they really push it. Finish off the Dragon Age and set the next true sequel up in whatever the next Age is called perhaps.

Other Campaigns is used for any player-made modules. I'm pretty sure that's all the option is for.

No need to change the Age, DA:O takes place over the course of 2 years max, each Age is 100 years.

Awakening is the first of many I guess.



As Origins reveals the worlds ''Origins'' , these patches will lead something bigger for the next expansion or game ( at least I am hoping for it )



Because there is much to be revealed in Theadas. Like Orlais, biggest Empire in Theadas. We can see the Orlais in the next game. Possibilities are endless :)

They said they were goind to expand upon DA during the 2 years after release. Initially they said it was via DLCs, but seeing how RTO didn't go so well, I think they decided to go for expansions. So yes, I think there will be at least 2 of them.

Well, we're already 30 some years in on the Dragon Age and I can't see every expansion happening directly after the previous. So they can cover a good chunk of time and they don't have to fill 70 years worth of content, God forbid there be times of peace and tranquility.

That's not exactly a decision they make overnight. Developers with a good track record and solid financial backing generally have some lengthy and extensive road maps laid out. My guess is Bioware has a pretty general idea on what they're going to do with this franchise for the next 5 years or so.

I believe we'll see 2-5 expansions over the course of the 2 years, with plenty of DLC in between and an announcement for Dragon Age 2 at the end of that time. All I'm wondering is if it will all work together.

Just nitpicking here, but Sims released exspansions every 4 months, not every month.

5??? Ya, no way in hell amigo. Something tells me Dragon Age isn't going to have more expansions then any other game I can think of.

I'm betting 2... 3 max.

What game that was actually supported for 2 years and recieved any expansions got less than 4? I'm also taking into consideration that Dragon Age just came out in November, meaning that if they make the 3-16-10 release date, about  4 1/2 months since launch. With a promise of 2 years of content and assuming they keep up a similar schedule, I find 5 not just possible but highly probable especially with EA holding the reigns.

Oblivion, WoW, Fallout 3, The Witcher, Sins of a Solar Empire, Warcraft, Starcraft, Empire Total War, and those are off the top of my head.

Besides sims what games have gotten more then 4?

If other expansions are planning then I hope to the maker that they are released on disk in the eu, mainly because I don't like the idea of having 3 chunks of 20 gb expansions being stored on my hd (has the 80 gb/74 gb model ps3)

I'd like to see 6 Expansions (where Awakening is the first) taking us up to Level 100.

However, what we will more likely see is 4 Expansions, one released every 6 months or so, punctuated by a few DLC Levels, taking us to about Level 75.

Each could add...

- 12-13 Levels to gain
- A new tier to Talents/Spells
- A new Specialization for each class (Dragonslayer, Sniper, Necromancer etc.)
- A new Weapon Style (Spear, Unarmed, Spiked Chain/Whip etc.) for warriors
- A new Spell School (Illusion, Summoning etc.) for mages
- Increased Material Tiers (Star Metal, Diamond, Orichalcum, Dark Matter etc.)
- A new Race to choose from (Qunari for starters, Werewolves, Hurlocks etc.)

So by Level 75 there might be...

- 8 Tiers to each Talent/Spell
- 8 Specializations per class
- 8 Weapon Styles
- 8 Spell Schools
- maybe 16 Material Tiers (add two per expansion?)
- 7 Races to choose from

You know, at first it could appear as a bit exaggerated, but actually, it is not. It could work. But rather than what to add, they should think about story, no? And besides, a warden doesn't have an entire life to waste doing things... sooner or later, it goes poof.

I am expecting exactly 6 expansions, 12 DLC packs, and 14 free items for buying the DLC content.  What do I base this on, you may ask?  Like you, I base this on absolutely nothing.

[/quote]Most of those games were not supported for 2 years, it was more like 1, and the only one I'm sure had more than that is WoW and MMOs have a completely seperate set of rules when it comes to expansions.
