They expected the game to be a best seller (it was) and to make a lot of cash for EA and to be universally given praise by gaming websites (which is a major factor in game of the year). The games are now simply "units" that need to be shipped and the fanbase is seen as nothing more then a number on a balance sheet. This idea of a developer being in a high pressured competitive environment (like the current gaming industry) because they love gaming is a fantasy which a new developer/programmer/designer comes to reallise very quickly because in the end it becomes a job where a boss makes demands and the worker complies. (EA does this to Bioware).

With regards to the original theory, even if this dream theory is correct (though very unlikely), that means on top of the DLC's completely playable character (for the whole game but was locked) was already on the disk (confirmed!) and developed since the early stages but also a contrived scheme like this was too. On top of all this, the theory of a dream (if correct) means they planned this to profit even more from the game and we all purchased an incomplete game. By the way I have no problem with the DLC thing it's just that the inconsistencies and lies from bioware about it has really annoyed me.
