Im currently using 1.02 because im scared to use 1.03 since SO many people have problems with it. I guess this dlc is going to use 1.03 so I'll pass it until something is done.



The DLC's and therefor the increased save data messed up Fallout 3, it freezes up every 5 min on the ps3.

But please, PLEASE, at least have a significant presence of dialogue choices.


I didn't see a lot of "dialogue" in that trailer. 

Now BTW maybe the grunts & growls of the un-sentient darkspawn are actually a language (which they "know" and maybe could be translated for the player) and so yes this could theoretically have "dialogue". 

But ... didn't look like it to me. Looked like a lot of selecting, clicking, and attacking in the midst of a massive battle (namely, the siege of Denerim). 

i.e. this is why this looks to me like a warhammer-type RTS set in the DA setting, not another RPG experience. 

The Q & A does say the Archdemon "communicates" with you, I am curious what that means, exactly. Do you hear it as a voice in your mind? Orders flash across the screen?

That is a update to fix PS3 fireware issue. What about for the Xbox?


... PC, Mac ... 

and the gameplay bugs that are affecting everybody regardless of platform ... 

BTW, I'm not upset that they're releasing new content without a patch. 

I think I'm starting to get more upset as to what kind of new content they're releasing without a patch.

FeastDay Pranks .... funny pranks & gifts that add no dialogue to the game

Darkspawn Chronicles .... interesting RTS minigame set in the DA setting with, AFAICT, no dialogue added to the game

Am I starting to see a trend? Look, I know it's hard writing those dialogue trees and recording the VAs, Bio. If you've decided to stop, let us "RPG players" who LIKE dialogue as part of the game know - mmmmkay?

Um definately a NO on the Darkspawn Chronicles for me. I will not and cannot bring myself kill my buddies even though it a game. Playing darkspawn would be interesting but let those who like to be evil have it all to themselves. This is one download I won't be doing, but good idea on giving folks another playing perspective.

It's a fantastic idea, and bringing in a different perspective/storyline is a fun theme thing to do.



I don't know if I can kill all my buddies, heh. :) Will probably buy it to see if I can do it though.

Those who don't want to kill their buddies could always lose the game and let the good guys win!

I'm not sure why people are getting angry about the existence of this DLC. (I am not referring here to people who are frustrated that the bugs they are experiencing aren't addressed as of yet. Bugs are bad.)The nature of DLC is that it allows BioWare to try different things that will appeal to different parts of their audience.

As much as most folks believe  that their play style is the only correct one, BioWare has a huge following made up of people with a myriad of playing styles.

So far for DLC we've gotten: The Stone Prisoner, Warden's Keep, Return to Ostagar, Awakenings, Feast Day Gifts, and now Dark Spawn Chronicles.

A little something for for lot's of different play styles in there. That's a good thing.

I totally agree, and I will definitely not be able to kill Alistair!! hehe :)

Up until FeastDay and this one, they were supporting the play style of adding to the story and dialogue of the game (even if it was optional backstory with the case of WK and RtO).



Sokay. We can sit this one out like we did FeastDay.



I'm just mostly hoping this hasn't become the "play style" they're going to continue to develop for.

I'm torn between getting this DLC (and just trying to make the play through as painless as possible), and just watching someone else play through it on youtube. I don't think I can bring myself to kill my companions.... V_V;

Agreed.  I like that it's not all the same thing rehashed!   :o

Novel idea.  Might get it.  however ...

I got one question.  When it says what if YOU died in
the joining, what if the PLAYER hero failed, etc, etc,
is it really  the player character or just some random Warden? 
I know this is a nit and to be honest it won't have much affect on if I
buy this DLC or not. I'm just tired of BW's doubletalk in their hype. 
Thanks.

I don't think I can kill my friends. But my hubby could. Hubby, please kill my friends... (my homage to the movie "Sneakers." Sorry I am in a weird mood today). I really don't think I could do it though. LOL! I can't even play evil in the game as is. : D

I thought it over and yes, there were times that I wanted to pummel my companions, so I will think of this as Bizarro World comes to Thedas. Let's see---like when Alistair first told me that he was Maric's son (though I always thought that him an Cailen looked alike) and when he made me give our last 15 sovereigns to his good for nothing sister. And the time he dumped my elf mage. Or when Wynn was upset with me because I let Shale into the group, or Sten----well there is more than one time there, Shale when she was just being a complete blockhead, and Morrigan for just plain being the lovely witch that she is.

Oh, I have a wonder do I get to kill Arl Eamon too,since he happens to be there at the final battle?

This is crap. I like playing good characters, and having a canon storyline.
To each his/her own I suppose.

You could just run the final battle in Denerim without any healing pots or tactics, let the archdemon kill you and save your 5 bucks.

So far for DLC we've gotten: The Stone Prisoner, Warden's Keep, Return to Ostagar, Awakenings, Feast Day Gifts, and now Dark Spawn Chronicles.

Once again, I say that what I see is a rapid decline in quality, particularly in the quality of party interaction and storytelling, in the latter half of your list.  Or, more like the latter 2/3rds.

I guess this DLC shows how much BioWare cares about the original companions. No wonder they were tossed aside in Awakenings...



If our fans demonstrate particular support for one type of content over another, however, we'll obviously do our best to provide more of that sort of content in the future.




Right. Give us a DLC with a hour long mission for each companion with dialog and conversation trees of the quality of the original game. Charge 560 pts and I will buy it day one.
