So i've seen that they have released a new DLC - Item Pack #1... has anyone bought it yet? Or is it worth buying at all?

The weapons are nice, but BioWare didn't include high res textures for them, which is pretty noticeable on the bow and the dual wielders, imo. The accessories are very nice, but I'm not sure they're worth the money considering anyone can make accessories for free. As far as the armor goes, you're pretty much paying for the textures, if you ask me. If you share BioWare's apparent lion fetish, this is probably a must-have purchase. They also ruined an otherwise cool overcoat by adding a low-resolution fur texture on the collar.

Seriously, why do they do that? Sebastian's armor, the Cumberland Circle Robes...

Anyway, those are just my nitpicks.

The bottom line: for five bucks you get some cool (albeit low-res) models, and some quality accessories.

Have only opened two of the three "special delivery" chests so far. Currently playing a Warrior, so took a look at the Mage and Rogue stuff first.

Equipped my companions with their character-restricted accessories (which level-up with them) and sold the other stuff -- essentially as junk, since the merchant value for it, (and apparently ALL the "bonus" items) is... 1 copper!

Over on the BSN, Xeyska posted screencaps showing pictures and stats for all of them: "Dragon Age 2 Item Pack", so you can make your own decision.

They look good I suppose... might even buy them. I'll see if anyone else gives an opinion, and my next pay is in two days so I might give it a shot.

I thought the sets were rather nice for 5 bucks.

[Jsiice]

yeah it is definitely worth the 5 bucks

Well then, my pay is here and I've just bought the item packs. Will give it a shot when I'm back from work.
