BioWare begins counting down to something or other photo

As you may have heard by now, a couple of BioWare sites -- Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins, but not Star Wars: The Old Republic -- now show a timer counting down to next Monday. Okay, so what's this all about then? Honestly, your guess is as good as mine.

It's likely going to be some sort of announcement for new downloadable content. I'll go ahead and speculate that it'll be related to Mass Effect 2, and the countdown is only on Dragon Age's site for promotional reasons. You can also see the countdown on the studio's main site page, which is plastered with ME2.

Joseph brought up a good point too. Could we possibly see a full-blown expansion to Shepard's story on par with Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening? I'd buy that for a dollar. Actually, I'd buy that for many dollars. Or maybe, just maybe, they'll announce an entirely separate new game. Speculate away!

It's difficult to get excited after BioWare charged at least ten dollars too much for Dragon Age: Awakening (IMO).

If it's a DLC add-on *and* it's reasonably-priced, then I'll get excited.

Obviously, these two games take place in the same universe, and Shepard will accidentally land in...whereverthefuck Dragon Age takes place, and have sex with all the hot, technically alien womans.

Or it could be romance packs for both games.

Lucas - Dragon Age's moon is one of the planets from Mass Effect. One hit by a mass accelerator.
Obviously it's a darkspawn deed.

If it was only on the KOTOR site I would've shit my pants.

That said, knowing it isn't KOTOR 3, I'm not holding my breath. Probably two new pieces of DLC, one for DA:O, one for ME2. That or some new disc versions with extra goodies. Either way it's not KOTOR 3.

Bollocks!

Also, Liara DLC do want. It could be something regarding the comics. Again, either way, not KOTOR 3. Poo!

I heard it has to do with Dragon Age because of something leaked on the DA site or some other. But yes please KOTOR3.

Oh for the love people, The Old Republic is KOTOR 3. How many times do Bioware have to say it?!

In an effort to continue both franchises as fast as possible, the next Dragon Age game will take place in the future. In the Mass Effect future, to be exact.

I think by now, everyone realizes that the Darkspawn were just servants of the real threat: the Reapers.

How come no one is reporting that Firewalker DLC (and costumes, if that's your thing) is live?

Seems awesome so far!

Whatever it is, I'm excited. Not as excited as I'll be when Jade Empire 2 is announced (please?), but excited, nonetheless.

Am I the only one here that wants more of Mass Effect apart from the three main games?

I would love a game where you play as a C-Sec officer on the Citadel, perhaps even play as a younger Garrus on the Citadel!

Something along those lines.

Wishfully thinking: I would love for BioWare to make a Mass Effect game similar to the X-Wing series, but you would play as Joker, obviously.
That being said, I didn't play Dragon Age so I have no clue what this could be.

Blood Dragon Armour going free on Cerberus maybe? Totally makes sense.

Would be nice if BioWare released free DLC fixing the totally fucking stupid plot holes for Liara/Ashley/Kaiden in ME2, but I'm sure that would be far too much to ask.

Honestly, I can't keep up! I'm still trying to make it through Dragon Age and haven't even touched ME2 or the DA expansion. It's ironic that the only thing keeping me from purchasing ME2 is Bioware itself (since I'm currently occupied with DA).

@xaliqen Awakening IS fairly priced. I clocked nearly 19 hours in one playthrough. That is worth $40. I can't even fathom the number of games that come out at $50 or 60 bucks with half or less than half a playtime of 19 hours.

Curious about this countdown but expecting some totally deflated annoucement.

I hope it's a huge DLC for ME2. I know it's a dead horse, but something like ten hours long would be fucking awesome. Still, do want, and can't wait.
