Instead of Darkspawn Chronicles? , Something to cover the gap for your character between origins and awakenings?,  Companion DLC?  maybe even you get to play as a Mabari  

[sassperella]

If you look at the forums, I think one of the most awaited dlcs is a companion one. It seems that the lack of conversation in awakenings and the lack of carry over of certain relationships upset a lot of people.

Anyhoo I've seen a few posts asking to play as darkspawn so maybe bioware read the forums and have these others on the cards too.

[MistySun]

Anything but darkspawn. i was hoping it would be the Leliana DLC. But as long as it was something to do with the companions (or indeed DAO or Awakenings) would of been fine.

But NOT DARKSPAWN crap.

[sassperella]

the dlc is made to appeal to all tastes, I'm not keen on the darkspawn one myself but think it's an interesting idea. A lot of people like it. If they made all dlc companion or romance options there were be a lot of complaints too. I think what they need is variety and hopefully that's what they'll provide.

[yullyuk]

well i hope they release a new patch with this dlc, to fix the major issues present

[Lintanis]

Just had an idea and it hurt lol. A Duncan DLC be good maybe set just before origins

[0ts0]

New origins perhaps.. or I know, a PATCH!

[Lintanis]

Just wait for the Darkspawn fanfiction now lol

[ijustwananame1]

Duncan DLC would be great. A tale of discovering that the Blight was coming. Perhaps finding his weapons, or one of them. The story of an experienced warden would be great.



The companion DLCs are tough. Who do you do? Whoever you choose, people are going to be annoyed. However, Alistair, Zevran, Morrigan and Leliana would (I guess) be the most popular. I'd Morrigan's and possibly Alistair's, but would have no interest in Zevran's and Leliana's.



I'm not 100% sold on the Darkspawn idea, but it's interesting.

AFAICT though, those requests were to have a joinable sentient darkspawn join your Warden party after "side flipping," not ... play the "other side". 

BTW, I was hoping that was what the Darkspawn Chronicles was going to be (possibly).... 

I would have accepted anything that added to the story of either Origins or Awakening, either to do more in Origins or maybe get to know the companions of Awakening better. Or possibly an area you could reach from either campaign, a la the ziggurat dungeon in Throne of Bhaal.

Anything story based. You know, the stuff Bioware is best known for.

[CybAnt1]

I'm starting to wonder if that verb should become "was" in the new EAra.

[Frumyfrenzy]

A single story told in several pieces of dlc, each 3-4 hours and each ending with a small cliffhanger. Those entail characters/story elements leading up to a full expansion or sequel.

Excellent idea and I do believe that what Chronicles means

Hm, no, the retail releases all live up to this reputation, however the DLC is lacking. Then again, if you look what Bethesda did with Oblivion before Knights of the Nine/Shivering Isles, they also released very lackluster DLC for a long time before they got on the right track. Maybe there's still hope left

[CybAnt1]

Oh no, I'm really really really hoping this is a one-off.



If not, I'm afraid round 2 will be us playing the darkspawn attacking Vigil's Keep and sacking Amaranthine.



The good news? At least so far I can't see how there could be a round 3.

[searanox]

I really would just have preferred no DLC at all, and instead that they had spent their time making their game stable and bug-free to begin with. But of course, this is the Real World, and in the Real World, as a customer, it is my duty to be raped with a knife by corporations from dawn to dusk.

I agree, Darkspawn Dlc for me is a bumper because I just want to be the good guy (!) lol. But on the ther hand I hope Bioware will release a new patch soon with this new Dlc because I haven't bought Awakening yet due to the amount of crashes PC players are experiencing with Windows 7 64bits .  
A companion Dlc would be cool, maybe with the story of the Grey Warden travelling to Orlais or Antiva to help Leiliana and Zev out 

[Lintanis]

 Orlais and all those French accents  :D, hope Teagan dont tag along . just have to wait for the next DLC or Expansion for that now 

[purplesunset]

Based on what people who weren't too fond of this DLC were saying in the announcement thread:

If this DLC was about, say, you being among the very first group of darkspawn after the magess ill-fated actions.   And if it actually involved dialogue and meaningful insight into that period (Did the mages themselves become the first darkspawn?), they would be game for a DLC like that.

But according to how this DLC was described by the Bioware dev, it's meant to be a hack and slash break from roleplaying with your dog.

You're basically re-treading the exact same environments, to fight the exact same battle you already went through, but this time, you're fighting for the other army.  This hardly qualifies as innovative in my book, but this might be enough for some people.

DLC in the true Biowareann style would have added more info to the world in some way whether through companion story continuations, or giving you a chance to play through historical scenarios that you only read about in the codex entries. But this new release, as it was described by the dev, makes it look like the DLC plan is to release whatever for a quick $buck.

People weren't simply saying that the  DLC sucked. They were seeing it as a missed opportunity and not in line with what they  have come to expect from Bioware's (purportedly) story-driven proclivities.

I would have liked to see DLC based on the events that take place in The Calling. The idea of traveling to the Deep Roads with King Maric, a younger Duncan, Fiona, and Genevieve and maybe a young Levi Dreyden. But this would be more of an expansion or a stand alone epic.

[Arthur Cousland]

Maybe I'll give this a try, but I'm in no rush, since I never had the desire to play as the darkspawn.



Something related to being able to play as a younger Duncan would be nice, or perhaps an expansion that has to do with the first blight and how the Gray Wardens were first founded, or being able to play through the war with the Orlesians.

[poopville]

I see this as a bit of filler to keep interest in DA while work is no doubt being done on a more substantial release down the road. A snack to tide us over till dinner is ready. Nothing wrong with that really. I'll probably give it a look without any huge expectations.

[Zy-El]

How about a DLC to go stomp some Antivan Crows for stealing my SWORD!!! I want my Vigilance back, you mangy thieves!!   And, oh yeah, I'm sure Zevran would know where to find the culprits - maybe I bring him along and Leliana too!  The best way to catch a thief is with another thief.   Yeah, that sounds like a good DLC idea - hint, hint, Bioware. 

This would be in keeping with the storyline alluded to by the Awakenings ending and include some companions.  Yes, there will be some players who did not keep Zevran and some players who did not recruit Leliana, but there will be an even smaller minority who did not recruit either.
