In our experience, DLC usually serves as the thin mint after a fulfilling game experience. Problem: At our current rate of progress, we’re on track to finish Dragon Age by next holiday season. But, for those of you who haven’t been diagnosed with chronic slowpoke syndrome, BioWare’s putting a fresh helping of content on your already stacked holiday gaming plate.
The new mini-arc “summons players to a new quest in which they will return to the fateful battleground in Ostagar where the Grey Wardens were nearly wiped out. Players will discover King Cailan’s top-secret political agenda and go behind enemy lines to revisit a place that many feared had been lost to history.”
It’s going for 400 BioWare Points, or $5.00. For now, BioWare’s keeping mum on release specifics, only saying to expect the DLC “this holiday season.”
Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re actually off to go fight the Blight at Ostagar right now. Oh man, that King Cailan is so dreamy. We sure hope nothing bad happens to him!

Wow. The new Dragon Age seems awesome. Too bad that I can't play it, because I won't be at home on the release date. In my next holiday season I'll go with my husband in a Hawaii hotels honeymoon. I can't wait to come back and make some DPS.

I wish the pay-for-DLC phenomenon had left PC gaming alone. This little trickle of content that you'll have to pay for as part of the "Bioware community" (whatever that is) is my big negative with the game. What about just producing a proper expansion and charge for it one time, for $20? Then there's the nagging suspicion that the DLC was content they weren't able to finish in time because it was buggy, etc. and so now they're trying to make more money off their mistakes. And really, how much should we pay for a quest in Ostragar, which is an old set of maps that they just repopulated with monsters? I won't be buying the DLC until they bundle it all together as one expansion and offer it at a reasonable price.
