So yes, BioWare loves downloadable content. Not only will Dragon Age: Origins DLC be available on the game's launch date, the developer is also planning to further drain our bank accounts with content spanning the next two years.

"Yeah, we have plans that stretch out for basically two years," explains executive producer Mark Darrah. "And it's going to be everything from really small stuff like item packs up to larger quests that might last an hour or two up to even fully fledged expansion packs. Really it’s a broad long term support plan for the game."

Darrah also confirmed that the DLC will hit all platforms, except for anything related to the PC-only game creation toolset. 

Dragon Age is looking like a contender for RPG of the year and is a game I am incredibly stoked for. I really do wonder how overboard they're going to go with the DLC, though. Hopefully there is some solid content that's worth the money, but two years of the stuff seems ridiculous. Anybody for horse armor?

That's good, Bioware should make some quality DLC.

The only DLC I ever buy probably.

This game is going to be a SMASH! I just downloaded the character generator and created my two initial characters...a Dalish Elf warrior and a Human Magi. BTW, check out this video...it rocks:

I remember the last time they made that promise, it was for Mass Effect.

....Eugh.

So.... I guess I'll wait a couple of years to see if they release a complete, definitive version of the game on the 360.

I don't mind waiting. I do mind paying an extra forty dollars.

Sounds great to me! Always good to have that additional content support for a couple of years. I'm trying to think what other games are still getting supported like this, but can't think of any example.

@ Khuutra: I'm sort of the opposite of you. I don't mind paying the extra money for the two years until a complete version came out. Besides, they might not even do one anyway, and I'm sure not everything they're going to release will be worth buying.

I suppose I could compromise and pick up the game for cheap and then buy the DLC...

Yeah sure I'm so running to spends tens of dollars to buy DLC for game I'll get for 40$.

If they want to charge up to 10$ for 2-3 hours long DLC like in Mass Effect i wish them good luck :)

They were too lazy...after playing Fallout 3, Bioware totally could have provided us with better DLC...other than some DLC that required you to go back before a massive quest chain.
