Dragon Age 2 First DLC Revealed; 'The Exiled Prince' Free with Signature Edition
by Xav de Matos, Jan 07, 2011 4:00pm PSTAlthough Dragon Age 2 won't hit store shelves until March 2011, BioWare has already revealed the first downloadable content for the upcoming RPG. "The Exiled Prince" DLC will be available for free with the "Signature Edition" of Dragon Age 2, which is offered as a free upgrade to gamers who pre-order the game before January 12.
The DLC offers players up a new quest and character (named Sebastian Vael) with its roots deeply seeded in a revenge plot. If you decide to skip the upgraded version, the downloadable content will be available for $7 (560MS Points) following the Dragon Age 2's release.
In October, when BioWare revealed the "Signature Edition" upgrade offer, the dev promised it would include $20 worth of additional content. According to EA's store page, the edition also brings with it four bonus weapons and a digital copy of the game's official soundtrack. Dragon Age 2 will also offer new game purchasers with additional content, much like the Cerberus Network did with Mass Effect 2.

I'd say I would wait for the reviews, but, let's be honest... virtually every reviewer seems to spend their time extolling the greatness of the game BECAUSE it's from Bioware, so it's not like press reviews are a reliable indicator. Instead, I'll just wait a year or so for word-of-mouth and the release of a discounted bundle that includes the game and all its DLC.

The gaming industry is being overrun by greed and asinine corporations. Don't say I didn't warn you when the "Big Three" gaming companies hold a gun to the governments' collective heads and force a 65 Trillion dollar bailout from them in 2020, because they are "too big to fail".

Easily happened with DA. I spent $20 for my DA on PC. DA2 will almost certainly be a smaller game with its focus on "linear storytelling" (a la ME2), so when it ends up being smaller, they can drop the price in no time at all.
$20 again sounds like a great price.

The real EA died when they killed the RoadRash and Counterstrike series of games back when they really cared about what they made and did. This is also a sure sign of what ppl can expect with SWTOR; sub par, generic hype.

Really -- did Shale add anything to DA that would have warranted extra money? Shale should have just been another character you met and had join your band of merry idiots if you could.

I knew it was bad news when they sold out to EA. Here is a company that was doing great for 10 years, making hardcore RPGs, and inevitable greed finally got the best of them.
