darthspudius: uh... I must be thick because I'm not following. Because you don't have some
pointless dlc, you don't have the full game? I'm starting to think I'm not cut out for modern gaming. You have the full game, play it. The dlc are just nice little extras that are not required.
timppu: Pointless? How about e.g. these?
Stone Prisoner: HIGHLY IMPORTANT, because you get a new chacarcter to join your party, in this case a Golem and "it" plays a very important role in one of the main quest.
Witch Hunt: HIGHLY IMPORTAN depending on whether you do a certain part in Origins, this DLC is pretty much the true end to the game if you play Origins in a certain way.
timppu: Why would Bioware make pointless DLC for their game? Don't they want people to buy their DLC, if they are all completely pointless and irrelevant, as you suggest?
Say what you will, but at this point the base game is not the full game. It is a gimped version.
Random_Coffee: I do think the DLCs for Origins are awesome.
timppu: Ok, so not pointless. That's good to hear.
Maybe I will buy the ultimate (=full) version of Dragon Age if I catch it in some deep sale sometime. Too bad EA/Bioware has intentionally made it silly to try to expand one's existing Dragon Age game to the complete version, by making the separately bought expansion and DLCs outrageously expensive.
That's the kind of bullshit practise I hate. So far GOG has fortunately had less of that, GOG users even complained when Risen 3 has a 0.10 euro (10 cent) price difference between buying the full edition, and the base game + expansion separately, LOL!
Pointless as in Witch Hunt being shit and Stone Prisoner hardly mattering. I don't think I ever had it in my party. :P
