Dragon Age 2 DLC item packs released
Should Hawke's pockets somehow not already be overflowing with loot, you can now pick up three item packs for $3 apiece, or $5 the lot.
As if your Hawke's pockets were not already overflowing with loot after countless Dragon Age II items were given away as promos outside the game, BioWare has released three three class-specific item packs for its RPG as paid downloadable content.
Each $3 (240 Microsoft Points; 240 BioWare Points) pack contains items tailored for the three main classes--mage, rogue and warrior. You'll receive weapons and surprisingly attractive armour usable only by Hawke, along with three items followers can also equip. All three packs can be bought together in a discounted bundle for $5 (400 MSP; 400 BioWare Points).
These items packs are the first original DLC released for the fantasy RPG, as The Exiled Prince is more of a pre-order bonus that's also sold separately. While BioWare released a fair few item packs for Mass Effect 2, it also created some lovely new storylines and missions as DLC. Hopefully we'll see more of the latter soon for Dragon Age II.

I never understand this kind of DLC. Is this stuff better than the loot you get in the game? If so, then that takes away a lot of the fun of playing an RPG, the constant quest to upgrade your gear.
If, on the other hand, this isn't better than the loot you get in the game, then why pay $3 for it?-
Probably for the same reason people buy hats and other cosmetic items in other games simple because it looks cool.

They should be working on making each dungen unique, each encounter backdropped by beautiful vista. Not this equipment pack crap.

No kidding, of all the complaints I've heard about DA2, the one that has most killed my enthusiasm and kept me from buying the game is the lack of unique environments.
This is coming from someone who bout DA1 at launch and played every bit of DLC. Haven't bought DA2 yet, not sure if/when I am going to.-
Save your money, it's pretty awful. I deleted it after a few days, and I loved Origins too. Plenty better games on the horizon.

I made it to around lv17 until I finally uninstalled it. It felt so lifeless and dull. I was actually okay with the pre-made hero and all, it's just the execution of the story and the lack of effort that ruins it.
Unlike the first one, this sequel just feels like it was phoned it. As if it was done by a few guys in their off-hours at the office.

Same here. I love DA:O. I was playing it earlier this morning even. But after playing the demo for DA2, I knew it was an inferior follow-up. Combine the twitchy, dumbed-down, way-too-exotic combat with the lack of unique environs AND the fact that there are still several bugs within DA:O that Bioware never fixed and I just can't justify giving them more money.
At the most I'll wait until they release the DA2+DA2 Exp.+DA2 DLC combo pack like they did with DA:O and get that... after prices go down. They burned me once with that little trick, they're not gonna burn me again.
It seems to be a common trend Blizzard started: make good quality games, get a huge fanbase, then burn your fanbase.-

can't forget some game called World of Warcraft either! Jesus has it been seven years already?!?

From a person who also bought Origins at launch and bought a majority of the DLC, I was still decently satisfied with DA2. All complaints aside about the ending, linearity, lack of interesting environments and the so' so' combat, all of the writing, signature party member banter and interesting quests/characters were all still present.
Tell me you didn't laugh at least once with Isabella and Aveline in the group or with Varric or Anders.

still waiting for the inevitable DLC. Bioware did mention they're going for more "beefier" DLC for DA 2 and most (if not all) of them will involve Hawke.

The expac will be Celebrity Champion's Apprentice. Where the rich ass Hawke fires.....bleh you know the rest of the show.
