Hi,

I have been wondering how many people(roughly) have actually downloaded the new DLC.

I was waiting to see the reaction it got before I bought it as I was a little let down with RTO
when I dived right in.

There doesnt seem to be that many threads talking about the DLC or that many people in the ones that are
there so I was wondering if it has been a flop in terms of sales so far?

So the question is, who has got it? Is your opinion good or bad?

Thanks

Shades

I haven't bought it yet, but I plan to. Its only 400 gamer points, so even if it isn't that great you really aren't out much. I mean, it would be worth it just for the novelty of playing as the darkspawn.



Of course this is coming from the guy who has liked all of the DLC that they have come out with.

[Xendin]

Already played through it.



I wasn't especially impressed by RTO and didn't expect too much from this one.



To my surprise I really enjoyed it. I wish it would have been longer but it was a refreshing twist on the final battle from the previous game. Playing as a darkspawn was a lot more fun than I thought it would be (especially using your minions, and killing them when you don't need them anymore).



It would have been better if you could play a whole darkspawn campaign through Ostagar, Lothering, and Denerim... but its worth it if you have a couple bucks to spare.



My DLC rankings so far (best to worst):



1. Stone Prisoner (Shale... 'nuff said)

2. Darkspawn Chronicles (Being bad is good)

3. Warden's Keep (Great history/lore/items, but over almost as soon as it begins)

4. Return to Ostagar (Return? Weren't we just here?)

I have it, but have not got a chance to play it out....

[Grace1957]

I haven't gotten it or Awakenings yet.I have heard too many horror stories about the patch that you need .I think I'll wait a little longer for both.

[Tarua]

I enjoyed it very much, the ending alone was worth the money.

Although I don't think a whole campaign would be interesting, that would take an Awakening darkspawn.

[bzombo]

i got it. it's been fun. it's the longest of the small dlcs. if you like wk and rto, you'll like this one too.

[spottyblanket]

I do plan to get it, but I have to nab my friend's wireless to do so.

[sonsonthebia07]

It's okay. It's fun tearing up NPCs from Origins, but you probably won't wish to play through it again after the first time unless you go for achievements.



I prefer DLCs to be part of Origins myself, but a problem with that is that characters become over-powered too early in the game with the addition of more.



This was a nice little break from things. I wouldn't get it if you dislike the combat in Dragon Age though.

[Shadesofsiknas]

Thanks for the replys.



This is probably one I will sit out.



Im more inclined toward the story DLC, This while sounding fun sounds like one play and throw away.



Ah sure whats meant for ya will never pass ya by.

[grymmeller]

I payed for the **** and it slipped away and so I lost my money.The profile is pretty jumpy to.I dont like this ****.The game is wonderfull in most aspects but the networking**** stinks alike...

It is good treatment to beat up good NPC if you are bad day(s)....

[Tame1]

Do you get anything for your actual characters by getting this DLC? Atleast RTO gives some decent armor.

[Rhys Cordelle]

There is a longsword. It's not a "must have" kind of item, but it's decent.



I don't really feel negatively about any of the DLCs, but I would personally rank Darkspawn Chronicles lower than the rest. It was an interesting twist, but part way through it I just wanted to get it over with so I could earn the sword and get back to my real game.

I downloaded it. Here are my comments from a different thread:

Well I must agree with the masses. I was disappointed, but in the same vein, how could I not be. The dialouge was basically absent, the team concept was not in view and there just was no purpose, no comraderie to get behind. It was pure Hack & Slash, as many had thought it would be. If I was suppose to learn something about the other side by playing them, well it didn't happen. I learned no more than I already knew. So I layed out my $5.00 bucks and got about 4 hours of Hack & Slash, I guess it was a fair price for what I got. I'm just glad it was only $5.00. I also agree with most that this DLC will not go any further than where it currently is, just a simple twist to keep us interested until the next "REAL" Expansion or DLC comes forth!

Thanks for the spin BioWare, but lets not lose our focus!

Seems most people think this DLC is Meh material.

[FDrage]

I haven't bought it yet and I'm not sure I'm going to at present. While I'm kin of interested in these "What If" scenarios and also nice that Bioware is trying something like that. It doesn't seem quite as interesting to me from an outside perspective. I don't really want another type of "RtO", while I liked the concept of it and I enjoy these "Sentimental" trips back, I kind of was a bit disappointed by it overall (length, challenge, kind of expected a bit more of a battle or more of an impact .. hard to describe I know). Beside I prefer some bigger modules then these smallish DLCs. While I enjoyed DLCs e.g. in Fallout 3 with Operation Anchorage (end battle was bit smallish for the "final" battle of a important conflict) and The Pitt ... I enjoyed them par6tially because I bought them together with the original game so they where p[art of my playthrough. On there own they would have felt a bit short and "disconnected" and I kind of feel like that with these DLCs here as well.



Also while it isn't a lot of money, it sums up ... a little bit here and a little bit there. I still got my gaming budget and there are a few things on the horizon that interest me quite a bit more then this DLC,

[NamiraWilhelm]

Downloaded and completed (though annoyingly missed out on an achievement, i previously had them all damnit).



Not particularly buggy, though i noticed it takes a bit long for the damage inflicted on an enemy to show up. Some heavy battle scenes run slowly. For myself anyway.



It was fun, a little weird if you've been as involved in the game and companions as i have having completed it a depressing amount of times. And if you've romanced the characters.



But it only took me an hour to complete, and i kind of wished it had more background, say learning more about the darkspawn in the deep roads



And i am extremely jealous i never thought of the name they gave Dog. Awesome

[DarthCaine]

It sucks. It's 99.9% combat and really short

My game keep crashing everytime i fight Elves in the Elven District, so i can review it

[Dark Lilith]

Dl'd it last night,have yet to play it.

[Lucy Glitter]

No thanks, I don't find killing my old companions appealing, even if alternate universes are really great.

[Elanareon]

Yeah, for some reason battles here was much more enjoyable than ones in the OC. Like much more realistic and more chances to strategize. (compared to OC) although the sheer amount if "allies" makes it trivial.

[Wedger]

It was odd that the Archdeamon spoke in text. I would have expected a deep timbered female voice. But Hurlocks can read, go figure.



Either that or Bioware cheeped out.

[Fish_Eye_McGee]

Downloading right now. I'll probably edit this with my opinions after playing it.

EDIT: So, opinion time. Well it was alright for what it was: a hack and slash. I did have fun playing it. I don't really feel like I looked into the hive mind or whatever though. It was alright, I give it like a 7/10
