Fair enough, I am being honest though.

It sure is part of the 2 year DLC, as it is basically a very large DLC itself.

If that was the case, then your other DLC items should be imported in Awakening.

Wow, I think I've found out what this thread is. It's a Pre-Complaining Complaint Thread. So when DA2 rolls around, and the technology is a lot more stable, people will have a foundation to complain about how there "never was two years of DLC".

Well judging by Bioware's past performance with DLC, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't come through with 2 years worth of solid DLC.

Then again, their "2 year plan" could be like Mass Effect, where they just release 2 crappy DLC's like 1.5 years apart.

Well, imho Bring Down the Sky is still the best DLC BioWare released so far, told a little story on it's on, was far longer then any DA DLC, and offered even new enemy models (at that time), the Batarians. Not that it was that great, either, but hey, it was even regarded in ME2, if you've done BDtS, you got a "thanks" mail from Kate Bowman - if you've saved her. That's far better treatment then the DA:O DLC gets in Awakening.

It's already been confirmed that future DLC will be compatible with both Awakening and Origins but they're pretty hush hush about it

Where did you see this confirmed?

It was one of the first topics to pop up when Awakening was officially announced and a dev posted in it saying that DLC would support both but they didn't want to go into details for possible spoiler reasons.

I'm afraid the topic is lost to the ages now though.

I actually found it in the end. It was in the one place I didn't look.

Will Awakening characters be able to go onwards to future DLC?  Yes,
sort of.  Sorry to make it cryptic - you'll have to wait a little more
to hear about some of the future DLC for this to make sense.

I don't know about the level cap, but I do remember seeing a dev post that said the new talents would be accessible in Origins.

True, but my point was that people are already finding ways to ****.

I bet every expansion or DLC until DAO2 will be Stand-Alone.
This means that everytime we will going to lose the progress we may have done in that single adventure, and we wil have to begin every xpansion/DLC from DAO post campaign save. My speculations obviously...

The thing with that is..if we encounter this problem every time, we go to buy a dlc, ...its not gonna go over well.

I am not sure what the problem is, but seems to be something technical is messing with these dlc item port overs.

They need to rectify that ..because in the future people are just going say...nope, no dice.

Well if DA2 is released and Bioware never delivered on their 2-year DLC promise I think fans would have every reason to complain.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating that there is a solid roadmap for future additions and expansions to Dragon Age, and work is underway. I've seen it and its really cool. It goes a lot of directions, exploring a lot of different aspects about the world, the blight, different characters and some things you might not be expecting yet.

[Sirson]

Sounds good to me :x

[Kakimori]

I would assume Awakening is part of that 2-year plan, yes. It's DA-related and it is within the two years.

[Metallicka]

I'm just worried the next DLC/Expansion will follow suit with the whole incompatability thing. I'm not "just" angry about the very selective thief, I'm concerned he'll be back again and again.

[Barachiel]

Eh, I love Bioware as much as anyone else, but they're promises of DLC have *not* been awe-inspiring.

Remember, Mass Effect 1? They promised DLC for that. And what did we get? ONE. One *real* DLC at any rate. The second was developed by a different company entirely, and was little more than a bad attempt to single-player-ize multiplayer death matches.

Mass Effect 2 hasn't been out long enough to critique yet, but I will say this. Dragon Age has been out since November. The only DLC that's available now that wasn't at launch is Return to Ostagar and just *launching* that was a disaster.

By comparison, Bethesda, love them or hate them, released no less than FOUR in-house developed DLC of decent, if not spectacular (YMMV) content all in the first YEAR of Fallout 3 being available. And I don't just mean new suits of armor, but actual levels and quests and voiced dialogue.  Sure, maybe Operation: Anchorage or Mothership Zeta wasn't your cup of tea, but they got it out. 

So, in summary, Bioware, great games, but don't expect much in the way of DLC support.

Ideas and reality are different things. RtO was the first example for that.

While I agree that the Fallout 3 DLC were much more impressive than the thus-far released Dragon Age DLC (and I actually liked Mothership Zeta- for the most part... why were they invading again?-, even if it didn't fit the setting at all), each of their releases were just as disastrous as Return to Ostagar's release, if not more.
Although in Bioware's defence, their DLC are just as long as the Fallout DLC, and a third of the cost. So they've got that going for them.

I hope Leliana and Morrigan are somewhere on that roadmap.

I just want to give a nice positive YEAH! I can't wait to further the story.

Which DA DLC do you consider longer than the Fallout 3 DLC?  RtO is their only real DLC so far, but even if you include the day-one DLC's I don't think they're as long.

F3 DLC's also had new weapons and armor with new models.  You could also use these items in other DLC, which isn't the case anymore in DA:O with Awakening.

[bluewolv1970]

bioware has essentially made these $5 litlle dlc campaigns useless becasue they are essentially equipment grab quests (given the under one hour time fram it takes to complete them) when the equipment is renedered usless afetr the original campaign - personally I am glad I did not buy RTO yet as it seems useless to get (at least with wardens keep you do get a little gameplay) though againt those new powers do not transfer over either

..until EA steps in and tells Bioware..

"Bioware, this Dragon Age thing is getting old. Its not selling anymore. Better make some game that will cater to console gamers. The PC platform needs to be dropped so we can focus our funds to the console market. How about making a Dragon Age version of Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance. Oh and make the art look anime-ish. That would sell alot. Okay? Thanks. Bye."
