Hurhgnnnghnn

i want to play it soooo baddddd

but i cannot til after the new year-- too many publications to prepare!!!

I really hope you're right about the increased party size to at least 5 :( I use two tanks a healer and myself as an arcane warrior and could really use the DPS.

It will probably be new DLC, but in regards to you wanted six guys just because you could in Baldur's Gate isn't likely and is unnecessary in my opinion as four works just fine for me and anyone else i know playing, but to each their own.

A 6 man party would be pretty nice. Guess I'd have to find a sixth character though...

If it's new DLC, I wonder if I'll have to start a new game to get it. I'm stuck on the final battle, mainly due to unexpected massive lag making it unplayable. Still, Cassius had a few loose ends to tie up before heading off to face the final boss, so this'll be interesting.

Six-character party, wooooooo!

(Damn you! I know it can't possibly be that, but now you stuck the thought in my head...)

It's probably a complete recall of all DA:O copies because people bitched about the DLC.

Seriously though, why do a story if all you have is "They said they'd have something on their site, could be leprechauns! Could be rice pudding!"?
Wait for the update at least.

increased party size would be nice, haveing four dudes lessens the epic-ness for me.

I just hope it isn't DA:Journeys....

That would be lame!

I kinda don't want an increased party, for roleplaying reasons. I'm playing a guy who would roughly translate to Neutral Good, so I really only like Alistair, Zhevran, and Leliana, and I can tolerate Sten. However, Morrigan's a bitch, Shale's not human, Jack's a dog, and I haven't found the other warrior yet.

Also, Zhevran can't pick any locks and Leliana's bad at fighting except at range, which negates her other talents anyway. What the fuck, BioWare.

DLC is starting to bother me. I feel like companies are not releasing full games, then expecting you to pony up 20 bucks to really hav ethe complete thing.

More Dragon Age Goodness? Oh what a glorious day...

Um... have you tried upgrading his lockpicking skill?

But why do that when he has all those juicy dual-wield talents to hone instead?

As neat as more DLC would, be, I hope deep down it's not. I can't even get that promotional DLC to work on the social network, I'd rather not have more DLC piled on top. Oh well, hopefully it'll be something we can all enjoy.

If Bioware caves to the BG fanbase and increases party size to six I'm going to murder someone with a plastic spoon. Haven't decided whether I'll use the spoon in the act or find someone who has such a spoon and take them out. Beware of plastic spoons regardless if such an (unlikely) update occurs!

On a more serious note, I really don't see the need. The game feels perfectly balanced around a party of four.

Thanks for the article though. I avoid Facebook, Twitter and their ilk like the plague.

DLC me thinks. Or a pretty decent sized patch.

uh, is it possible that they are releasing the Dragon Age Toolset, or has that already been out since release?

This is so true.

Avykins:
Toolset is already out.
I want more party members too. Just for the giggle of more conversations.

Not on 360 it isn't, that'd be an awesome addition for the console gamers.

Toolsets are for making mods right? Consoles do not/can not have mods. So therefore it would be a waste of time.

Bioware have stated before that they are going to try and get the most popular mods over to the consoles later on.

hey maybe theyl make rogues get raped less i like the idea of not dieing.

Probably more DLC I won't even think about buying.

The game is 30 hours long. They released THREE full games without ANY DLC. I think they'ved earned the right to charge us for extra stuff now.

It's a sad day when the length of a game is now considered to be 10 hours. That's like a single game of Civ 4.

It's Thursday 9 AM CET but still nothing new on the site.

10 hours? Try 8 if we're talking singleplayer alone. If a game gets over 10 for 1 playthrough hrs I feel i've gotten my moneys worth. Dragon Age's length is -insannneee-.

Then you should really try Baldur's Gate 2. In itself the game is lengthy enough, but is has an incredible replaybility factor. I've played the game for two years before moving on to Icewind Dale 2.

There are several games that have over a hundred hours of gameplay, I don't see that dragon age was particularly crazy. It's a long game, especially by today's standards, and even compared to some older games, but I would hardly bill it as an insane amount of hours. Games are fucking SHORT now-a-days, it's disappointing. Though you clause your statement with a single playthrough, I feel multiple playthroughs should be compounded to the games length.

Yay for more potential content!

Such a great game, it's a shame my computer just died so I can't even play it anymore.

I bet it's a new chapter of Dragon Age Journeys. :)
