Dragon Age *possible spoilers*

looked at the world trailer last night and must say that one tend to forget how much work really goes into a game to make it as awesome as some are. looking at those painted scenes and world renders just makes me wanna pass out at the thought of total work entitled.

That trailer was very interesting especially when they showed how the game looked on the old neverwinter nights engine compared to the final engine.
 
Warden keep dlc price announced, $7 isn't a bad price for what it offers to add. Pinnacle station (ME 2 ) dlc was about the same price and from the description this will add more. If you get the digital deluxe edition you get it free since you don't get a map or a tin case. I would classify stuff you get free when buying the game as dlc so for me the stone prisoner and the me 2 armor isn't dlc.

With Dragon Age: Origins' November 3 launch less than a month away, developer BioWare has unveiled its initial downloadable content plans for the game. Unlike with the role-playing game developer's previous project, the acclaimed sci-fi adventure Mass Effect, players won't have to wait long to expand the upcoming dark fantasy.

They won't have to wait at all, in fact.

BioWare today announced that Dragon Age: Origins will get its first downloadable expansion on day one. Called the Warden's Keep, the DLC will add a dungeon-based quest to the game along with six new abilities, a variety of items, and a base where players can trade with merchants. It will feature a supernatural storyline set in an ancient--and possibly haunted--fortress once used as a redoubt by the Grey Wardens, the ancient order at the center of Origins' main storyline. (A magic suit of Grey Warden armor will be one of the items in the add-on.)

The Warden's Keep will be available for MSP 560 ($7) on Xbox Live Marketplace and $7 on the PC on November 3. It will cost the same price on the PlayStation Store when the PlayStation 3 version of Dragon Age goes on sale later in November. It is not included with the regular or Collector's Edition of Dragon Age: Origins, although it is included in the Deluxe Digital Edition offered by online retailers. For a sneak peek, peruse the trailer below:

Besides revealing the Warden's Keep, BioWare announced that two pieces of previously announced DLC will also be available when Dragon Age: Origins goes on sale. First up is the $15 (1,200 MSP) add-on The Stone Prisoner, which is free to anyone who has preordered or buys any edition of Dragon Age new. (It will be included with digital PC editions, with retail copies coming with a download code.) As seen in the video below, the pack will add a stone golem character to the player's party from the beginning of the game, unlocking numerous story options.

"The way that the character works in Dragon Age is they're along in your party, they're interjecting throughout the game, they're talking with other characters in your party, they're commenting on areas as you visit them," executive producer Mark Darrah told GameSpot. "So, in one way, it's 60 hours or 70 hours of content because if you put this character in your party right away, it's going to enrich it and affect your experience throughout the entire game."

Dragon Age: Origins' last piece of day-one DLC is the previously announced Blood Armor, which is also included at no cost with new copies of the game. As shown in the video below, it will provide upgraded protection for players wishing to deflect the swords and missiles of opponents in the game. As an added bonus, it will also be wearable in Mass Effect 2, due out early next year.

i pray that this engine is more finely tuned than what neverwinter nights 2's engine was.
 
They keep talking about NEW Copies, what do they mean by that, I mean the game is not out so it can't be new copies...

But I would love a stone Golem in my party, since I could not get it to join me in BG2

Only $7 for the DLC , man I can't wait.

They mean if you buy a second copy you won't get it since it gets tied to your bioware account , you get an code which gets tied to the account and then you can download it.

For PC almost 100% certain we will pay via credit card. Xbox 360 users will need to get ms points and buy with that, not sure what sony uses.
 
Is it possible for someone else to buy extra DLC when its releast, for you and send it as a pressy because my mom won't let me use the credit card for just anything hehe.

Steam allows you to buy a game and then send it as a gift. Not sure if the dao dlc system will allow this. May want to ask this at the games official forums, the devs are more likely to have an answer on that.

Post your Characters as soon as the character Creator comes out :D
I am going with red or green hair for my character :)
 
PC Action German magazine rates DAO and gives 91%. The only I can see as a negative is the unbalanced classes according to them. Do not see hard random encounters as a con and don not see a non voiced pc as a con. In fact I see a non voiced pc as a pro as do many bg veterans. With a voiced pc like in me you can't give your character your own personality since he/she doesn't sound how you want your character to sound. Plus having a voiced pc would have meant them having to cut the amount of origins, having 13 voiced pc's would have cost a lot.

PCAction is one of the big game magazines in Germany. In their latest issue they got to test Dragon Age Origins and rated the game with 91%, although mentioning it has a few flaws here and there. The following text was translated by Google.

They still exist, the story teller, whose lips it is to miss just not a word about. Bioware good care a whole bunch of them in his closet, to make me happy as role players. Clear to me is emblazoned on every corner, almost level with a sign saying “We can make Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson as” contrary to me it should be right, because I stand on this kind of fantasy times. I do not need no vast, contiguous Open World, in any case I lose only the orientations in constantly. A little more attention to detail in matters surrounding graphics would have been nice and Dragon Age, but also with the travel system and the user interface, there are small but excusable flaws.

Hundredweight tome that the rules “for beginners” will include a bone-dry presentation … Role playing was so füher. I hated it! But for epic stories and adventures, so I took that into sales. But then came Bioware. The forging combined the strengths of the genre with Hollywood flair and ease of use. Wonderful! With Dragon Age, Canadians now supply from an absolute master-pieces – and leave the competition final stand like shoddy trainees!

Pros

* Great storytelling
* Great staged fights
* No questbugs found
* Neat monster design
* Nice soundscenery
* High replay value

Cons

* Unfinished class balancing
* Silent main character
* Sometimes unfair random battles

Hmm that not good to here I hope they delay it and polish it a bit more and fix the minor bugs that can really get on ones nervers.

Or a patch soon after to sort it out. Can't believe the main character won't have a voice.
