Doubt I'll pick it up at first, simply because I've got so much left in the game to do, notwithstanding ME3's imminent destruction of my free-time. But a few months down the road? Oh, definitely. I'm really enjoying the game thus far.
I really need to dig down into this game. I've barely touched it but loved it. Now I'm balls deep into SSX and Mass Effect 2 again getting ready for 3's release. So many damn games, makes it hard to commit to just one. :P
I feel like I've barely made a dent in the original content, don't know how soon I'll be up for a whole new continent. I wonder if the expansion will up the level cap or introduce new abilities.
Adored KoA. There really is nothing like a hack and slash loot-fest. And fuck yes I'll be getting the DLC.
damn i was thinking about picking up this never-ending game sometime this summer but if they keep releasing large DLC like this, I may wait until a GOTY edition... or until the DLC goes on sale over xbox live.
Honestly, I had a lot of fun with the game but it got pretty repetitive towards the end. Can't see myself picking this up
I second (third I guess) a level cap increase,my LV 40 champion can decimate anything in seconds,so having to restart the game with a new character to have any semblance of challenge with the DLC seems assy.
Also more trophies,I trophy whored my way to a plat,so I want more pointless gratification for the DLC as well.

Might want to clean up this sentence:
"The new expansion will add a new continent for players to explore, the island of Gallows End, and a new story arc which takes place there."
As written it would imply that the expansion adds an unnamed continent and the island of Gallows End. An island is no continent.

I'm really hoping they release their DLC on disc, Shivering Isles/Episodes from Liberty City style. Maybe one of you editors could reach out to Big Huge Games and see if there are any plans for that?
nice. I'm wondering if they'll eventually add spears into the game seeing as some enemies carry them.
Damn, wasn't expecting something like this so soon. Considering how much this game adds, I may pick this up.
@Smo5000
I second that. Spears would be badass. Every time I see an enemy or ally carrying one I let out an "ahh mann" lol

So I played the Diablo 3 beta. Ill say this: KoA has spoiled me to the point where D3 can only disappoint.
Wait! Anew CONTINENT. Not an area....country or town¿ A freaking new continent for DLC¿! Oh my. At least I hope we get stronger enemies and more destiny cards.
My current maxed out character is a gamebreaker. Well, she was a gamebreaker even without me maxing out the skills and abilities.

While I can agree with this sentiment when the game in question feels rushed or lacks an adequate amount of content, I think you're making a bad call on this one. KoA is loaded to the gills with things to do, people to see, and places to explore. What's on the disc is more than worthy of your $60 (especially if you spent as much on something like MW3). You could probably wait til the end of next year and get the game with all its DLC for a fraction of the cost. But if you're going to do that, do it because you just want to save some money; don't do it because you think the KoA devs are trying to pimp you out to EA. With as much content as they've already provided, it's obvious that they genuinely want to give you more game to enjoy and earn your money the legit way. Gotta give 'em some credit.

If they added the NPC exclusive gear and weapons to the mix via that DLC along with a level cap increase,then I'd download it with all due speed and then some.
As things currently stand post-game, the default rags are sufficient for all of a level 40 character's defensive needs so I'd rather something nice,impractical and flashy for a character to wear to show all of Amalur just how useless armor is to him/her now that her/his flesh is so much stronger than steel(though possibly merely on par with the density of Prismere).
Get some battle bonnets and titanium tuxedos in there!

This game has stupid high amounts of content, and a 15% increase? This is how DLC should be done: give more content on top of what was already a sufficient amount for a game.
Got Platinum trophy in 62 hours with 2 maxed lvl chars. Its a good game, but KoA is like a walk in Wonderland compared to Dark Souls. And I got platinum with Dark Souls too...
I'm surprised it took them this long. Usually EA announces this at least two months before the game is out.
@Matt - Australias a continent you tard. It has it's own tectonic plate and everything.
OT - This has convinced me to buy a new copy of this game when I'm done with ME3 and pick the DLC up straight away. In this day and age gamers are forever complaining about day one DLC, and not getting complete experiences and only getting the same old recycled, grey shit and there not being enough new IPs. Well not only does KoA seem to fly in the face of every one of those conventions, but to boot they're doing DLC the correct way as well. Not taking ages to come out, and a fat wedge of content for your money.
I want to support that. Fair play EA, this earns you back some of the cred you've pissed away in recent years. Only a smidge mind.

Anyone else check out the write up IGN has today on this? They make it sound pretty sweet. I like the idea of an upgradable keep, as well as the ability to raise and upgrade pets. Pet spiders or bears? Who do I give my money to?
