I think it looks pretty fun for five bucks, and is an interesting way to add some extra content to the game. I think that the people who are whining about wanting new dlc that integrates plot/characters into the story don't understand how hard it is to insert new content into an established project of this size - not just in development time, but in testing. There's a reason Stone Prisoner was $15...

The concept is intriguing and for $5 I'll probably wind up getting it. BUT not until June. Would like to hear whether or not it breaks other things in DA. No hurry on my part.

LOLs! Hey, to each his own, right? Image IPB

And I was simply trying to explain the concept of AU, since some folks were trying very hard to figure out where exactly the story in this new DLC would fit in the "canon" story...

OK, can someone please explain to me how, in this world with so many possibilities, so many different choices and different outcomes, can there be a "canon" story? I understand that even in Awakening your choices are taken into consideration (well, except if your Warden chose the US and you still wish to import that character, then it's assumed that there was no US... although I think I read a post somewhere on here with a quite a valid point, I found - if your Warden decided the US, then that would be the end of the story for that particular character, and so you either have an option of starting the Awakening story as an Orlesian Warden or choose to import a different character/ending from Origins).

So, yeah, have been trying to grasp the concept of "canon" in the Origins universe. Image IPB

If it was an alternate point of view then I'd consider it acceptable, this however is just a "what if" scenario without the Warden, seems a bit pointless to me.


Pointless? It's a story.

I just want the weapon, I really, really don't want to play this DLC, but I do want that weapon, And I have to beat this DLC to get it, that really, really bugs me.

Am I the only one who would have been way happier with another item pack (like Feast Day Gifts & Pranks), but with weapons and armor?

EDIT/NOTE: I mean quality full sets of weapons and armor

Hmm... interesting. I hope it gives us more insight into how things actually work in Darkspawn ranks rather than just being a "kill kill destroy EVERYTHANG" sort of thing--tie the story up with The Architect somehow, maybe?--but I'm not keeping my hopes up. I'm leaning towards not getting it at the moment, would rather see the video for myself first before making any decisions, but if I do decide to get it I think it will be out of curiosity more than anything.

I rather would have seen an announcement regarding a patch, though. Just saying.

I dont think its pointless. Example: In rambo first blood he was spoused to die in the end. But they decided to keep him alive at the end this is like a alternative ending nothing more nothing pointless about that. But i assume its opinion.

Man, I feel pretty sorry for Al in this picture.:P

Anyway, I wanted to b***h and moan about the bugs and such, but I think I'll shut up this time. Darkspawn idea might be okay and kinda original after all(yes I am aware of the mods)

Still, a DLC that would extend/enhance/edit/enchant/add new/whatever current companion quests and their romance would be better indeed.

Half seem to aprrove while the other's are dissapointed that it's not about the characters. Personally I would've liked to see playing the warden who has turned unexplainably evil for reasons not his own.

Here you see how opinions can be different....

I think weapon and armor DLC is nothing but a cheap way to get the money of MMO-addicts who crave to get the best equipment.

Of course, Dragon Age needs better-looking armor, but modders do a great job at providing those already.

Well... sounds very interesting.. I take it that this is an intro to "smart darkspawn'. I will definitely check it out... oops need memory card to remove some characters... WAIT! Hey BioWare - how about increasing the number of characters we can create when you bring this baby home??!!

This one I might have to see wait on to see what other's think, and I'm usually the first one to buy these DLC's. But I'm a little leary about this one, I think it's cool that Alistair's taking on such a big role but I'm not too entirely sure I want to play a DS. I'll just have to wait and see.

The Orlesian Warden was poorly executed: what it should have been is being a way to re-enter the world after your original warden sacrificed himself, what we got was a non-customisable default state of Ferelden. A simple explanation as to why the Origins Warden was alive again would even have been enough.

BioWare, I understand that the whole Morrigan's god baby story has the most potential for a sequel (or two), but please don't pretend that the Ultimate Sacrifice ending never happened.

Why didn't they make a DLC about us being a darkspawn disciple under the command of the Architect? IT would have been MUCH more interesting and more worthwhile. For now, I am not interested.

I love it.

It's kind of like It's a Wonderful Life for Dragon Age.

After a decision went very poorly costing many lives our Grey Warden sits all despondant wondering wether or not we've truly made a positive impact on this world.

Along comes Clarence the helpful fade spirit to show us what the world would be like if we hadn't existed.

And we get to see it from the DarkSpawn's point of view.

This is going to be a hack and slash blast!

I just hope the Hurlock Vanguard can cast spells!

Well seeing there are only what...5 or 6 characters to kill playing as a darkspawn...it will be over very quickly won't it?

I don't see the point in this.

Hey Gurlok, watcha doing later ? Why, lustlok, missing some action?,
