Is this a press release for DAO or this new DownLoadable Crap?

 

[Andhaira]

Why isn't it available in Japan?

 

[hanssolo]

Why isn't it available in Japan?

too much tentacle cock-teasing, not enough delivery.

 

[laclongquan]

I thought Japan has all kinds of tentacly cockteasing? Me think the game doesnt have any, which offend the Jap no end.

its because you end the game by nuking the darkspawn, which is offending to the japs.

Tired as I am I did read it as 'Barkspawn Chronicles' and got my hopes up.
Then I realized my mistake and became disappointed.

 

[burrie]

Well, here's the full scoop...

You now fight as the Darkspawn! The city of Denerim, jewel of Ferelden, girds itself for war. As a hurlock vanguard, you alone hold the power to make thralls of your fellow darkspawn and drive them into the heat of battle. Heed the archdemon's call--Denerim must burn!

* A look at an alternate history: what if your character had died in the Joining ceremony, and the Grey Wardens marched under Alistair's command instead?
* A standalone adventure in which you command genlocks, hurlocks, shrieks, and even the mighty ogres.
* Complete the module and unlock an epic Darkspawn item in DA:O and Awakening.

Doesn't really sound like it's worth the money. I had hoped into some insight into the Darkspawn's history.

 

[Brother None]

That's actually not a bad idea. I wonder if they give the Darkspawn logical motives and backgr...AHAHAHAHAH sorry couldn't finish that with a straight face.

 

[Talonfire]

Will there be a Broodmother romance?

 

[Fez]

With all these add-ons and small DLC packs I think it'd be simplest and most economical for the non-hardcore fans to just wait for the Gold/Platinum/Anti-matter/whatever badged release version that has all the content together. Depends on how desperate or big a fan you are of this particular series or the genre and how much time you have to indulge in it, I suppose.

I've heard of a few unfortunate and confused souls trying to buy their add on content like this from more than once source, only to find that the Steam package doesn't like the retail which doesn't like the next incompatible system. Buyer beware.

Did they ever sort out the many bugs and crashes for DA:O that I've been hearing about? I can remember the game disliked some multi-core CPUs.

It's Fez :shock:

How long, o CRPG Pope, will you bless us with your presence this time, until once again you dissapear into the unknown void of teh interwebz? :mystery:
