A post in Czech on Eurogamer.cz has word on Dragon Age: The Awakening, which they say is the first retail expansion for Dragon Age: Origins, BioWare's recently released RPG, saying this will offer new items and a level cap increase and is expected in March, 2010 (thanks LS). They report the revelation was made by a premature online listing for the add-on, but this is obviously still speculative for the time being. Here is a translation from Google of part of their story: ![]() |

in the case of dragon age, bioware have specifically mentioned that they view it as a long term franchise... i have no doubt we will see games in the tevinter imperium, antiva etc. but i reckon they will probably be sequels and not 15 hour expansions like this game seems to be. |

![]() Oblivion was a single game in the ELDER SCROLLS series that spanned both time and space. It's like you are walking around one of the Hawaiian Islands and bitching that Hawaii is so god damn small, who would want to go there. Guess what, THERE ARE OTHER ISLANDS. Never mind the fact that even with Oblivion, they released an expansion which introduced a new land entirely within the Oblivion plane.

So like 40$ for 15 hours (or less) of gameplay. Sounds pretty insane considering I got the game for 34$ with Digital Deluxe. Also their DLC has been pretty weak thus far. If Warden's Keep was worth more than 5$ then it was a complete rip off since I finished it in less than 1 hour and 30 minutes. ![]() Also on that note, is Return to Ostagar worth purchasing... ![]() Last edited by KickAssCop : Jan 5, 2010 at 06:03 AM. |

Ouch, 39,99? Holy shyt.... that's a bit over the top, isn't it? It's Bioware not EA...... big fail. I wonder how many gamers will actually pay that much for such a short experience. Shame on you, Bioware.

EA is ****ing with people because they know they can get away with it. http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/70...ar-Future.html An EA producer comes out and basically says "game prices should drop in the future because they arn't worth what we are charging for them." And who is the company charging the most for the least delivered? EA and EA consistently. They have been doing this **** for years and now that major developers are all getting consolidated under a few banners, with one of those being EA, I expect game prices to go UP, not down. Especially EA games.

15 hour game for 40$ is justified by many standards but RPGs are always out of that realm. Charging 40$ for 15 hours for an RPG is insane. |

No way I'm paying 40 dollars for that unless it's Mask of the betrayer quality.

Compared to spending $60 for a 3 hr movie, I'd say the expansion is a steal ![]() Of course it all boils down to can they release it on time. *cough* Return to Ostagar *cough*

The hell are you talking about and how does it relate to what I said? Could you not combine 2 different situations and pretend it is one coherent argument? I don't know squat about this new DA expansion but I know for a fact that the ending of NWN 2 was a half-assed cliff-hanger and it took MotB to wrap up the game's story line.

YOU say it is one half, THEY say it is an expansion, one that *continues* the story. I think I'm going to have to go with the people who made the games version.
