For those whove played Dragons Dogma
There may be spoilers for those who might so happen to be playing it by coincidence.
Would it be worth it to trade in the original DD for Dark Arisen? Of course, I'll be paying off what's left to get the game. I had no clue about Dark Arisen when I bought Dragon's Dogma, and I heard it makes the game way better with Bitter Black Isle or something or w/e. Anyway, I have gotten all achievements/trophies and have killed both the Ur Dragon and Grigori countless times, so will I get my money's worth? It's either this or Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition since I enjoyed that game as well.

Oh dang o.O I'm leaning more towards DD: DA now. Thanks Silver.
I'll make my final decision next time I go to gamestop
Yes. Very yes.
Not only do you get the new content in Bitterblack Isle (which is a good 12+ hour area on it's own), you get all the previous DLC quests and equipment. On top of that, there is new "cursed" equipment you can find and get purified on BBI, including new earrings that boost skills. For example, my mage pawn right now has an earring equipped that boosts her Ingle and Levin spells beyond High Ingle/Levin to Grand Ingle/Levin, while my main (an Assassin) has an earring on that upgrades his dash attack for more hits and more speed/range.
BBI also changes a little bit as you re-enter it. There are powerful monsters that are attracted to the smell from your kills and stalk the halls. The most dangerous enemy of all is Death himself... and, believe me... he's dangerous no matter what your level is. He only has 2 "attacks"... a paralysis ability and his trademark scythe. The scythe has a good deal of range, but most importantly, it will kill instantly if you're hit with it. More often than not, you are supposed to run from him, but it is possible to kill him if you dare.
y'know i've also been thinking of trading in my original for dark arisen.
