BioWare today announced a Dragon Age: Origins expansion titled \'Awakening,\' continuing the fantasy RPG\'s storyline with new areas, enemies, party members and more in March 2010. In something of an unusual move, EA\'s asking price for the expansion is $39.99, only $10 less that the regular price of the original PC ga

$39.99 = FAIL.

Right now members of the public are making content like this expansion that will be free.
This expansion should be priced at 19.99, or even 9.99.
I wont get it right away, ill wait for the price cut.

It would be nice to know how many hours estimated but more than likely I'll buy it. The game rocks and it's the best RPG I've played in a long time.

Ya whatever. The quality of this expansion will easily outweigh what some guy with no life can do in his bedroom.

Tom stop being a moron, the quality of a FREE expansion will easily outweigh that of an entire paid development team with much more past experience of using said quite badly designed development tools. The price of this expansion doesn't seem to fit the content expansion, I'd want to see actual engine/game feature improvements for that price aswel. Price drop and it will be good.

And only just just started playing Dragons Age, its a pretty 'good' game, though I wouldn't say 'great' as quite frankly it still leaves a lot to be desired (though the addons and mod content I'm seeing now is good a sign). And when you play a game that has an NPC telling you about some other area you can go quest in.. but at the end of the conversation you find out that its premium content! that's just bullshit.

Anyway I'd like to see Mass Effect 2 being more expansible, as the original PC version was too consolized, thus crap.

Whatever Koogle, you go with your acid trip mods, quest addons, I'll stick to the storyline and quality that comes from these guys. If it costs $40 oh well. I got a job and I have plenty to spend on games. I've already bought most of their DLC. I've also gotten most of the ones included on cd with games magazines I picked up.
