Dragon Age: Origins To Get Paid DLC Expansion — On Launch Day

Posted by Soulskill on from the say-what-now dept.

BioWare's upcoming RPG, Dragon Age: Origins, is set to launch on November 3rd. Today they announced details about some of the downloadable content they have planned for the game. In fact, it's scheduled to become available on the same day the game launches, at a cost of $7. (The PS3 version will be slightly delayed). "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." There will be two additional bits of DLC that are available for free to people who have purchased the game new. One "adds a stone golem character to the player's party from the beginning of the game, unlocking numerous story options," and the other increases a character's defense against some attacks in-game.

      than a Microsoft OS which isn't even released yet [w3counter.com]

      Wow, This crap again.... I use linux. I use adblock. So does every other linux user I know personally (and thats a fairly hefty number of developers).

      Adblock, my filter set includes ... http://*.w3counter.com/*

      I also disable javascript for different domains than where I actually am.

      So even if I went to every single site this company monitors, I wouldn't Show in a SINGLE log file.

      Same story with damned near every other "metric tracking" site I've ever encountered.

      Meanwhile, All you wintards run around with your damned pants around your ankles, getting viruses, tracking cookies, and whatever other stds the corporations you suck off want to give you.

      Have fun. I'll continue to be a ghost, because I don't fucking care how many people use my os of choice.

      Meanwhile I do buy games that run on linux. World of Goo, Uplink, Defcon, and many other great games sit on my desk and on my hard drive.
