Dragon Age: Origins Expansion?

Well, I'll have to say, my Czech is a little rusty, but thankfully, Google Translate can do most of the work for me, however rough. Anyway, according to Eurogamer, a full expansion for Dragon Age is going to be released sometime in the Spring. There isn't any official reveal, but it seems as if this info was leaked on the Bioware forums.

The expansion will follow the same formula as the main game (different races with different origin stories), but with a smaller, around 15-hour main story. It seems to have the working title Awareness (Dragon Age: Awareness?) and will apparently follow the event of the first game, as opposed to happening concurrently or beforehand. Also, the level cap will be raised.

If this proves true, it could be a great addition to the game. But, in my mind, expansion packs were pretty much dead. The DLC model is much more lucrative for publishers, and I thought that was the path that all new games would be taking. Seems EA and/or Bioware are trying to prove me wrong. Eurogamer is claiming there will be an official reveal sometime early in January. Now we play the waiting game.
