Imagine buying a new album only to find out that you can only listen to 10 out of the 12 tracks. If it's on the disc, which they paid for, they should have it. Even the content which is flagged as future DLC. Most consumers would expect to have access to all aspects of the content which comes on the disc they purchased. The fact has recently emerged that publishers are including this DLC on the actual retail version of the main game, essentially selling activation codes as DLC instead of the actual content itself. Content that would typically be included with the launch is being shelved for a rainy day.

The recent release of games like Bioshock 2 and Dragon Age: Origins have revealed a horrible truth: development houses are spending an increasing amount of time producing DLC pre-launch with each year. Paying full price should infer that you receive a full game, no excuses. It is recommended that if you buy something, you back-up the install files someplace safe. People who have bought games previously have confirmed that they can still download over a year later, however this may no longer be the case. There is a note in the EA store terms that says the ability to download only lasts a year. Cheapest is probably the $5 ME1 Pinnacle Station DLC, otherwise there are quite a few $10 games, you might be able to find one that's semi-decent to add.Ĭrysis Maximum pack, if you feel like benchmarking.

If you feel like buying more than one game, get them in separate orders and continue using the same code. By using the super-secret coupon code (PAXEAST842) you can get a nice discount. The EA Store is currently hosting a promotional deal that can get you $20 off of any game over $40 (OK, fine, technically $39.95). You can find the full interview and all of the information surrounding the remake at the Dragon Age Podcast website. Besides myself, we had six members of the BG2 Redux present for this interview." The podcast host continues, "Anyone interested in doing modding of their own will probably find a lot of interest to them in this interview."


"We've actually had this interview on hold for quite a while. The Dragon Age Podcast group's interview reveals all the secrets behind the modding effort, including how others can get involved and some very ambitious release dates. The modding group has had great success so far in recreating parts of the Irenicus Dungeon, screenshots of which can be found on the team's site. A podcast dedicated to Dragon Age: Origins has featured an interview with the Baldur's Gate 2: Redux mod team, focused on recreating the original Baldur's Gate 2 experience using the Dragon Age engine.
