must-buy for every codexer

 

[commie]

We should take bets on just how much DLC can Bio vomit out for ME2 and DA:O.

must pirate for every codexer

fixed.

 

[Some Moron On Welfare]

No need for bets.

They promised 2 years of DLC for DA:O.

 

[Arcanoix]

Checkout the trailer for it.

The trailer music is the same theme used in the "Suicide Mission" from ME2. I guess this Golems DLC will be showing just how 'massively effected' Dragon Age 2 is going to be.

Atleast 40% of the budget for most products is aimed at marketing. If BioWare couldn't even get new music for a trailer to DLC, then there is a big fucking problem. If you knew anything about round-table meetings and/or discussions (other than D&D in your mothers basement on weekends) then you wouldn't had wasted my time in making you look like the ruh-tard that you are.

It's a $5 DLC, they don't have to make an all new soundtrack for it.

And besides, the previous DLC, Leliana's Song, did have its own custom soundtrack (3-4 new tracks). It was $7, though.

Still not the point. It's a Mass Effect song.... THINK.

 

[Some Moron On Welfare]

Yeah, they own the ME franchise, so they don't have to pay for this music.

Makes sense to use it for a DLC trailer, no?

 

[Silellak]

The trailer music is the same theme used in the "Suicide Mission" from ME2.

I had no interest in watching the trailer until you told me that. I fucking love that track.

 

[Melcar]

Why do we keep having news about this shit? I though The Codex didn't scale to anyone's level?

 

[FeelTheRads]

It doesn't. To high levels. It scales to low one, though.

 

[hoochimama]

ME2's "epic" track works well, but Awakening got original tracks for its trailers:

Bio's standing orders seem to be "do it like ME2", wonder how Gaider feels about being on the beta team.

 

[commie]

I can't wait for the DLC where Mass Effect meets Dragon Age after the Normandy finds a wormhole t another dimension and lands right in the middle of a shitstorm between the Grey Wardens and the Darkspawn.

Imagine the possibilities! Shepard has a choice to help either side or conquer the entire world for himself!

Maybe because Awakening was a full fledged expansion? DUM DUM DUM

That would seriously be awesome. DLC of the decade. I can even see some idiotic retrospective article listing it among the best gaming moments ever.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

There was a SimCity4 tune playing in one of ME2 bars, true story. CHEAP BASTARDS

 

[Some Moron On Welfare]

Here's a pretty interesting interview about the DLC. A snippet:

Designed with our hardcore players in mind, it sends the player on an extremely challenging journey into the Deep Roads to uncover the lost secrets of the dwarves.
<...>
Golems is seriously tough. If you played through Origins and thought it couldn’t keep up with your mad skills, then this is the DLC for you. You face a brand new boss who has more than a few tricks up his sleeve, and unless you bring your A-game you won’t last long. Getting the hardest achievement for this DLC is a real badge of honor. Only a handful of BioWarians managed that accomplishment.

 

[Gay-Lussac]

Don't you mean Golems of Turd?

 

[Visbhume]

Already done. There was a Wing Commander ship in Ultima VII.

Not as effective a crossover as Commander Shephard meeting up with Commander Hawke, both crew and Grey Wardens acting together with magic and high technology to stop the proto-Reapers from breaking back into the Golden Citadel by engaging in third-person combat across time and space. Shit will get real.

 

[Xor]

So in ME3 Commander Shepard will become a grey warden?

 

[JagreenLern]

A return to the Deep Road's? Sounds about as fun as a hangover.

And don't forget the tastefully done threesomes.

BROFIST's a plenty.

And as Shepard tries to conquer the world he meets the one person more XTREME than himself...
