    Will this be like the Oblivion pack where it installs to your hard drive?  If so... what's to stop someone from renting this, installing it and calling it a wrap?  If not, is it going to involve a lot of disc swapping to access the content?

    @sickVisionz: You'll need the disk to play it
     
    EDIT: Or it'll be live only.

    As far as I know, all of the content is separated from the main world so I imagine it will detect your save games from DAO normal and just use the DAOA disc to play the new content.

    I don't know how it's going to work in terms of functioning with the software, but from what I understand from previews and stuff, gameplay-wise, the game is separate from DAO.  You can even create a new Orlesian character if you don't have a character to import.  It's possible that they'll require the DAO disc, but from what I understand, the PC version will function like a traditional expansion pack where you need the previous game installed.  However, since that's not how console games work it's pretty much guaranteed to be either where you don't have to keep the DAOA disc or you don't have to keep the DAO disc.  Either way, you'll be able to sell something.
