honestly? i am 22 hours in and I only just now got all the companions. so I theorize there's probably a fuck ton of content.
and the replayability is high considering they're essentially doing origins again for the main characters you make now.
so no dlc doesn't really feel like a bad thing.
i have no idea what that individual was playing. its awesome. I've been so engrossed that I got mad when I had to take a break to do some chores around the house today. lol.
story is interesting, characters are AWESOME, combat is addictive and fun, there's so many secrets its fun to explore around and find them all. and the rewards are good, but not as cool as the way you find them.
and the main character you make has the most personality of any of the main characters in Dragon Age thus far.
its a blast.
