Honestly, the way I see it, this was probably for the best. Because we all know that it would have had a massive bug that wouldn't be fixed until January anyway :p
At least now, the devs are at work instead of at home.

The DLC will be released Jan. 5 on Xbox 360/PC and late Jan. on PS3 (link).

I just paid $7 for Warden's keep, and I bought the 400 points for RtO.
I'm guessing the 1.03 patch will come out on Tuesday as well, so they can add the quest giver/dlc advertisement to the main campaign.
I was kind of ticked off by the quest giver for Warden's keep being in the camp and telling me to buy the DLC before I actually bought it.

Ok, forget i said anything ;)
But i still wouldn't mind waiting till late Jan so that everybody could get it at the same time.

That was rather unnecessary...
Could've been worse, though.

Good catch. I thought they were all simultaneous.

Return to Ostagar got delayed... again.

I don't know how Bioware managed to screw up a 30 minute long quest that's was _announced_ two months ago.

It probably has to do with Bioware being Canadian. Who the hell uses a Canadian flag to represent the English language on a website? Either go with the nation of origin (UK) or the largest English-speaking nation (US).
Silly Bioware.

Yeah, you'd figure that if they used the Canadian flag to represent the language they could at least then write in proper Canadian, eh.

How do you spell Canada?
C, eh? N, eh? D, eh?

I think the initial delay was caused by Sony not getting its act together and approving the PS3 version on time. I haven't heard what the problem is this time, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out they are once again being jerked around by their "partners."

Expansion pack is confirmed.

and then they returned to ostagar... late..

The darkspawn are sitting around waiting!

the night before was awesome, we had this huge party where we roasted the last party who came through, I didn't fight them though, it was my first night on the battlefield, with tomorrow being my initiation.
I had been looking forward to this all my life, or, un-life as it were. I had only been born a few weeks ago, as it turns out I was once an adventurer, returned to life by the Darkspawn.
it tooks me some time to regain my strength, it seems now that I must be stronger than I ever was, as my body doesn't appear as if I could physically be a threat to anyone, I am still rather capable.
Some kind of dark magic I suppose.
Today is the day I am to take on my first few adventurers, but the word is that they have been delayed, they should have been here hours ago, but now there's no telling when they'll come, or even if they will ever come. I may never become a full darkspawn without killing someone.. if that happens my body will degenerate and I will die, again..
I must kill, I must destroy. In order to stay strong, someone else must die.
