Stone Prisoner DLC ($15, quest and ally)

Helps fight used copies, etc.


So you are saying every purchased game comes with Stone Prisoner?


Yes, but only the Deluxe Digital Download comes with the Warden's Keep DLC.

So the are advertising something every game has as exclusive? Brillant.

"Buy Street Fighter IV, comes with Chun-Li! A 15$ value!"

Every NEW game. That means any time you buy it in a store (back alleys don't count, but you might get lucky!) and any time you get it online, you get this DLC. If you bought it used or something, you can still buy the DLC yourself.

Exclusive content for buying a game.

Considering that a reseller should be giving you the license you should also have the DLC as well. Unless it is a one time thing which means people who reinstall will need to buy it anyway.

Uhh, that came out like two weeks ago. Bolded is on our front page too, lulz.

@Tanuki: Not sure what you mean by reseller (I'm also about to collapse on my bed), but regging your key on BioWare's Social Network and logging in on your game will download the DLC. I'm sure you can pick out plenty of ups and downs to this but I'm pretty happy with the game and its "extras" so far.

I am thinking someone selling a preowned copy. If it works like Mass Effect DLC you get an executable and install code which does not need online access to work. So someone who sells you a preowned copy just needs to supply that info when purchased.

but I'm pretty happy with the game and its "extras" so far.


Good, I would hope so.

I'm sure you can pick out plenty of ups and downs to this


If you want, I can. Just ask. :twisted:

8 pages in and I assume some of you are seasoned at playing this game, where as I've just started. Any beginner tips?

Ok, don't know if you mind spoilers so I'll keep it brief. If you like to collect things (loots). then you'll want to increase your storage space. The 2 cheapest backpack are available in the very first town/camp you get to after your starting story. Talk to the quartermaster when you first get there and he will have one for sale. Then once you return from your first quest before you return to your contact, he will have another for sale (which is 1 more then then you'll usually see in any town) and the price will be more expensive then.

Also, Depending on your character, you might want to take on certain quest earlier. Did you get the Warden's Keep DLC, if so, do that and the stone prisoner first which will give you some nice loot to equip your party. Hang on to everything that say GIFT in their description as you'll find good use for them afterward.

If you have a Rogue, train up your lockpick skill early (or as soon as they becomes available) as there are many locked chest with nice loot. Also be sure to use the TAB key often and everywhere so you won't miss anything. Especially before you exit Warden's Keep.
