I'm just wondering: do any of the original companions (Alistar etc.) have any dialogue in the DLC? I doubt it, but it would be cool if they did.
Also, in regards to the 2 secret achievements, I've heard one is to keep the original ogre you get at the start alive until the end, and the other is to get all your thralls to maximum loyalty. Heres the thread that claims this:

played it through this afternoon :) bit boring at the beginning, but gets much more fun when you get the hang of the thralls :)

EDIT: oh, and I just noticed an AWESOME Penny Arcade tribute at the end of the game ^^

Penny Arcade reference? Whatever do you mean? Hee hee. It cracked me up, as well.

I'm stuck. In the Alienage, I cannot burn down the gate because the barrels are not targetable.

Good god...people have completed it already? Can't be very long then or difficult. I'm giving it a miss. I don't want to be a damn darkspawn.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Honestly, I wasn't forced to kill Shale and the Alistair in this world is so far removed from the one I'm familar with it's like killing his mediocre twin brother.



Bryzon, it wasn't a target in mine either, I just tossed the fire grenade on there and it eventually burned down.

So just to be clear: did the PC die in the Joining or did they just not survive their Origin? Or the Tower?

From the trailer, I believe it's implied that you die at the Joining, and so Alistair's basically been alone the entire time.

Do you get the sword at the beggining of the game once you unlock it?

It really makes you wonder about Duncan's judgement.  He can't find any recruits that can survive the Joining?

I really don't like the thought of dying at your joining. I'd rather you simply didn't make it to Duncan in your origin story because that could concievably happen. This is just like the Mhairi thing where people tried different tactics to make her physically capable of surviving. Amell, Surana, Mahariel, Tabris, Cousland, Brosca, and Aeducan are all physically capable of surviving the Joining and to say otherwise just destroys and sense of 'it could have happened this way.' So what was the deciding factor that killed them? Did Duncan lose too much approval? Did their meeting with Alistair go poorly? Thing King was in a bad mood from all the boring strategy? It makes no freaking sense!

Posts like this don't contribute much, but I think it needs to be said in the hopes someone from BioWare will read it.



I have not played the Darkspawn Chronicles. I won't. I won't buy anything else until they fix patch 1.03. BioWare has plenty of time and manpower to pump "What If" DLCs but they won't support their existing product. Not getting anymore of my money until I see a change in priorities.



I still love Origins. I enjoyed Awakenings, but of course had to uninstall it when I realized it killed Origins functionality. I'd happily buy more Dragon Age content if they would get on the ball with patches.

It still doesn't change the fact that none survived the joining. Thus my verdict still stands, worst joining ever.
