Technical support is supposed to be TECHNICAL!

Has anyone seen a blight wolf in this DLC? It's supposed to be a recruitable thrall but as far as I can tell there aren't any to be found anywhere which makes the achievement for maxing the loyalty of all thralls impossible.

Anyway, here's my little review for the PC version of this DLC: Darkspawn Chronicles was a fair bit better than I expected. If you like Dragon Age combat, I'd say it's worth a buy. If you don't like Dragon Age combat, avoid it at (almost) all costs. It clocked in at 2 hours almost on the nose for me. It might have taken less time if I had been playing on lower than nightmare and if Sten hadn't slaughtered me once. It's fairly difficult on nightmare largely because you have pre-built level 12 characters. Inability to customize your abilities means you have to build your strategies around what they give you - which was nice as a change of pace. You do, however, get your DLC items - which can give you a little boost if you have ones that fit well with the Darkspawn characters. If I hadn't read all the codex entries that might have shaved off some time too - but those are definitely worth reading. They're the only thing that might make it worth it to those that dislike Dragon Age combat. They create a nice little picture of Alistair's journey through Origins without you - some of his decisions are... surprising. He also made a few choices that aren't even available to The Warden. In terms of value, $5 for 2 hours of play is about dead on what Mass Effect 2 DLC should cost if we're to compare it with the main game. It's still twice the cost Dragon Age DLC should be, but... oh well. It's still more value friendly than Return to Ostagar at least
The Blightblood sword bonus you get for Origins and Awakening is fairly neat. In Origins it's a Tier 7 one-hander with a permanent venom poison bonus on it. In Awakenings I presume it's bumped up to Tier 9. A solid 7.5 out of 10 overall I'd say. It was fun and I hope Bioware keeps trying "weird" DLC. Though I hope the next one does have voice overs and choice-based play. And, once again, I'll make my suggestion for the next DLC to be playing an excerpt from "The Stolen Throne" playing as Maric and Loghain! I'd snap it up in a second
Thank you. I'm still awaiting it on PS3 but am looking forward to playing it even more!

A question for those who have this before I d/l it............. How do you start it?, is it like a completely seperate "map" type thing, or incorperated into the game itself or what?. As in how do you go from being a grey warden to being a darkspawn?
Thx
