I already own "Dragon Age: Origins" and all it's material.

Was kind of hoping when I heard "massive prize pack" that they might be offering another one of those computers with the custom themed cases. :p

A non US only contest? Fantastic! I already have Dragon Age but i'd appreciate the DLCs.

I'm not going to tweet though, maybe once but not every day. I'm not going to demean myself by spamming my followers every day to show them how desperate i am. What moron thought of that?

i already have dragonage, stone prisoner and blood dragon armour, but the rest of the DLC would cost around 1.5 times as much as DA:O.

I would really love this, but unfortunately I'm not 18 and I already have all of this, and the rest of the DLCs.

That would be me.
Well it was more of a rhetorical question, but sorry if i offended you. It may have also been poor judgment to write that... Anyway, tweeting once is fine, great even, to spread the heat and feel like you're a part of it, but every day, really?

Sure, if someone really wants more chances to win. I like to give people more than one option to win if I can but not needed to enter.

Why am I answering these absurdly specific late-plot-oriented questions about a game I'm hoping to win? If I know these answers, I would've played it already, and hence wouldn't care about winning it.

I gave up at the end, because to the uninitiated the questions read like incomprehensible gibberish about an alien culture on Mars. No doubt this stuff must be spoilers to the games. Seems a very poorly thought out contest.

This is the first contest that I can enter as a non-US/Canadian citizen. Plus, other than what I got from purchasing my copy, I don't have any of the DLC.

While I had no intention of buying any, participating in a contest to potentially get it for free still sounds compelling.

I wish game related contests would stop using Twitter as the major part of participation. I don't have a twitter, I don't want a twitter, and I'm not going to get a twitter. Most other places, I just put up with it, but this is The Escapist, this is a gaming site. I don't want to use the current social networking fad to participate in contests, I would much prefer for the majority of the entry methods to be gaming based.

I understand using twitter as one of the ways to participate. After all, twitter is the current big fad and most everyone doesn't share my old manish sentiments about social networking. But twelve entries from it as apposed to the two you can get from gaming related entries? Really? That doesn't seem a bit much?

How about a few more gaming related entry options and a few less tweets, or heck make it so that you can just post a comment on the forums once per day to the same effect.

It's too bad you can't exchange the prize for the 360 Equivalent. My computer doesn't even meet Dragon Age's minimum specs.

Why do I feel the strong need to agree with you?

Why am I entering this contest? Not only do I own everything except the newest brand new DLC but I own mods and other nice things. Why do I need to enter? Oh yea, it has Dragon Age on it so I can't resist. Though for most gamers this is a nice idea, a lot of friends I have would never personally pay 20-30 odd dollars for DLC

I like how it mentions there is no time limit, but at the end of the quiz, the results show how long the top 20 took and then your score, I call shenanigans on this competition even though I entered it twice with Doralius someone had a blindingly fast connection with a time under 30 seconds?

how come you can buy this game in the store if your 17 but cant win it online or watch videos about it?
Probably due to some US states, and countries like the United Kingdom, and Australia having age limits of 18.

Cheers for making this available for non-US residing people. It took me by so much surprise that I had to re-read the T&C's 2 times, just to be sure... :)

I have some questions:
1. When approximately could I know the list of winners?
2. Do I really need twitter to participate in this contest? I mean, I've already passed the test of 10 questions about DAO. Is it enough to become a winner?

Thank you in advance =)

Anyone else ashamed at how much the escapist tries to garner popularity off twitter?
It really does make me sick.
