After the terrilble addon I doubt anyone would buy known as Feastday it seems like Bioware again has suprised us with a new and interesting twist to the Dragon Age story! So how long is the play time? For five bucks I know it wont be a lot but this should be interesting

Brilliant!

Set in an alternative universe where "you" died in your Joining but AFAICT is NOT playing the whole game from the darkspawn viewpoint, but rather you being a darkspawn commander in the siege of Denerim.

Yet just like "doing things in the Fade affects the material world" (although it's not exactly clear why)... looks like they had to sweeten the pot .... doing things in this alternative universe gives your Warden something (a sword they call "Blightblood").

Incidentally, read the Q & A. **It sounds mostly like a Warhammer-style RTS set in the context of the siege of Denerim**. There will be no "darkspawn party". Rather, your darkspawn commander can simply select any unit within sight as he's moving around (ogre, shriek, blight wolf, whateva), and issue it orders.

On the one hand, the try everything side of me says I might get this just to try out the darkspawn unique abilities (like Grab).

On the other hand, it's just hard for me, from an immersion perspective, to immerse myself in a mission I can't embrace (killing innocent people).

EDIT: and maybe I'm wrong, but the trailer seems to hint you may get to play the Archdemon itself. Which is enough of a mindbending idea for me to be caught in a tailspin between hmmmmm and arrrrrrgh.

I love it when they destroy and/or cheapen canon in the name of unmitigated profit!

[Merilsell]

That is pretty much my opinion about going all RAAAWR and AAARGH. Further words aren't needed.

LOL! Thank you.

I am surprised so many people cannot handle an 'Evil wins' DLC. It's an alternate, NON-CANON take on if the PC died.

The only problem I Really see with it is WHY is Alistair wearing Templar armor? He's just asking to get slaughtered.

This is definitly the best Dragon Age DLC I never expected.



I get to play as a darkspawn AND kill Morrigan? Sold

[Marionetten]

You know what would be a really brilliant idea?

A patch. That's what.

[Dick Delaware]

This actually sounds like a pretty interesting and unique idea. Curious to see how it works out.

[2papercuts]

i wonder how you will play it, will you just access it like awakening?



also they should have had the warden just never been recruted by duncan than have him die at the joining



its an interesting idea, but ill wait to see if its good after awakening.

[Ashlag]

I don't think I'll get it, based mostly on my not even getting Awakening; but it looks fun, if really only a one or two time thing.



I am interested in how reviews of it are once it comes out and what people think about it.

[Abriael_CG]

My interest in playing a darkspawn = 0

I wonder if this is common. I remember that in the old TIE Fighter game, you ended up not doing too much fighting against the Rebels, who come across as kind of insignificant.

[Lucy Glitter]

Eh, it looks pretty cool imho. I won't buy it, though. If it does give us more insight into Darkspawn, then yes.



I was hoping for a romance Awakening addon, tbh. I am pretty disappointed.

[bandy1]

Humm...



So development time devoted to playing a drakspwn in the Battle of Denerim, as opposed to fixing the buggier than an ant farm 1.03 patch for PC ( or anything at all on console for that matter ).



Yeeeeah.



Tanks for nothing BioEAware.

 could not of put it better 

[Slarth79]

Do we get to kill Anora as well? At this point it's sold just to get a chance to kill Alister & Morrigan

I doubt that there is any twist to the story. Your godlike Warden died at the Joining and without him or her the mission is doomed. And that's it.

I doubt there's any point to the backstory. Like why exactly is Morrigan in the final battle? Why is Alistair wearing Templar armour? What was the result of the Landsmeet? And what insight into the supposed Darkspawn hive mind can be provided?

Really, I could come up with ideas why the scenario could be interesting and I'm certain none of the ideas will be adressed at all. I expect pointless, uninspired hack and slash.

Edit: I might be more interested if I could see my own PC fail but NOOOOOOO. My PC can be a self-serving ass and still be an awesome hero who will never fail ... unless you let them choke on a little bit of Darkspawn blood.

I think this will let me appreciate my team more. A vision of how the world would be without you. It also lets you be on the other side of a fence and get another view of what you are fighting. Also, this is the chaotic stupid kill everything plot that chaotic stupid lovers have been asking for... Without the stupid part, just evil and chaos.



I am going to consider it cathartic, even if I have to kill the ones I love. I'll just appreciate my team more when I get to them.

[salviana]

I remember the words Alistair said about marrying Anora - "I`d rather marry the archdemon" - so i guess he had it coming

[velimirius]

this sounds like a **** that i wont buy,since wardens did not failed,non sense dlc just to feed their asses. crap as always with maybe 1hr to finish.
i wouldnt play it event if its free.

I'm not very interested either. I already had enough of a problem making the 'evil' decisions in Origins, just to have the achievements. Granted, killing soldiers is not the same as killing someone more innocent, but still, if there is a clear evil, I'd rather be on the side of good.

[spottyblanket]

It is cheap. Psssh. So may as well buy it.

This new DLC sounds interesting. I *might* even buy it just for the lulz of being a badass darkspawn vanguard ;-)
