I think it was delayed because Ostagar is still overrun with Darkspawn, and it was found to be a Health & Safety risk.

Me too. At least this one is a full(ish), boxed expansion, rather than ultro-flimsy (but still bought and hugely enjoyed by me) DLC. Isn't it?

Talking of DLC, Return to Ostagar was due out the other day, was it not? Dunno why it's been delayed, but I'll get that one as well. Just you watch me.

Yes, it's good to see that it's being well supported by the devs. If they want to slosh a fresh bucket of orcs over me every month or so, well that's just fine by me.
