After that horrible Darkspawn chronicles, finally a dlc that sounds promising. Story and characters were the strength of Origins, and this dlc finally and for the first time seems to build and capitalize on both of them. It's not perfect as it does not seem to further explore the story after Origins or Awakening, but i love the idea and really look forward to have it.



Much more of this please, some other characters as well maybe, and i will gladly buy them all.

Playing as a pre-defined character?  Did Mass Effect teach you nothing, BioWare?

That said, I'm very curious to see how the dialogue engine works with this one, given that the PC (Leliana) is apparently fully voiced.

So we don't buy it; simple as that.

Indeed it did teach them something.....pre-defined characters sell big when done right. ME2 has shipped over 6.6 million copies in the first month from release....A LOT more than DAO so it shouldn't surprise anyone if they shift the focus of the DA franchise to a more pre-defined character style.

And often prevents roleplaying, depending how it is done.

And playing a blank character can take away from the immersion due to there being no past to keep the interest. At any rate pointing to Mass Effect as a lesson to what BioWare shouldn't do is a big fat joke because ME2 outsold DAO many times over on just 2 platforms and DAO is out on 4 platforms.

Yes, that is a pity.

Coming in late 2010, the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern version of DA:O . A 20 hour epic DLC where you play the two gossips in Denerim and converse on the events and happenings within the game!  Oh, the DRAMA! 

... And in Spring of 2011, "Dragon Age: Waitng for Morrigan" A 125 hour magnum opus where the player waits at the edge of the Orlesian border hoping for Morrigan to return.  Oh, the SUSPENSE!  (optional infinite loop gameplay only available in Collector's edition).

I kid! I kid! 

[Wowlock]

Now seeing this , to keep people intact to DA series , I wonder if they continue making character based DLCs ? 


As far as I know every companion on DA:O  has very interesting past story. My guess would be Flemeth and Morrigan or Zevran ( and his past ''love'' he killed at an important mission. ) 

There is many stories to use but ofcourse these will be just for binding time.February 2011 will be the date I hope.

Those names take on a very different meaning for me outside of the classical sense. When I read that joke I was confused...

If your character has no past, that's because you didn't make one.  That's your fault, not the game's.

And if I have a pre-defined character, do I know any more about that character's background when I start the game?  I have yet to see a game that gave me more than cursory background information for the PC, seemingly expecting me to learn that background while I was playing, even though that background necessarily has an impact on my gameplay decisions, so the two are guaranteed to conflict if I learn them out of order.

This can work if they handle the actual RP gameplay better than ME does (let me choose what Leliana actually says).  Playing with a pre-defined character can be fun in an RPG.  BioWare's party-based games have several playable pre-defined characters in them, but this will be the first one since Baldur's Gate that lets you take control of that pre-defined character in conversation.

I'm looking forward to see how it works (though I may well skip the DLC, given my unwillingness to install patch 1.03).

[Ziggy]

I love this idea! Much better than that horrible 'play as darkspawn and kill your companions' one. Unless Leliana is the most popular character by far or has a big role in da2, I don't see why they would dlc her backstory exclusively... one for everyone then?

[drhelio212]

This is a great way to explore other areas of lore, too. I hope this takes place in Orlais for the duration of her quest line. I doubt it'll be more than an hour or two long, but still, it gives us a glimpse at Orlesian culture. It'll be just a bit different from Origins in Fereldan. It'll also give us a glimpse at what playing a pre-determined character with a personality in the DA universe is like. Since Ms. Kempa said she voiced the character for his DLC, I'd also imagine she speaks during the conversations. I wonder if we still have control of what she says though like we did in Origins. Just this time she'll voice out here lines. It'll probably be rather linear, though. Still, it will be interesting. Now... if they just bring us DLC involving Sten and all the other characters leading up to the events of the main game. It'd give us a more first hand look into their respective worlds... Sten and the Quinari, Zevran and the Crows, Oghren and Orzammar, etc. It'd be neat, anyway. But we'll just have to see.

barf.

will continue to wait for the interesting characters to get their own DLC.

truly, Leliana is my least favorite, even more disliked than Oghren.

thanks for the link

See, this is the problem with choosing one character for a dlc. Some are gonna be ecstatic and others are going to be disappointed. I would personally prefer it to include my playable character, such as Return to Ostagar. Even though it was short, it added to the story and my character was a part of it.



Maybe perhaps you could consider doing something with young Maric, Rowan and Loghain next time?

[BrunoB1971]

People complain when there is content,people complain when there is no content.



I'd rather see new content any day of the week.



But make sure the game works, so patch it up...the "dlc game" is good for the industry no matter what you think.

[Thibbledorf26]

Will there be a high degree of dialogue and roleplaying, including choices? That's the main thing I want to know after DSC.

Mass effect 2 ?You mean that crappy game with a metacritic score of 94 and will probably win GOTY?
You also play a pre-defined character in dragon age  .

The only difference .. You're voiced in ME2 and you can only pick 1 last name (unlike 6 like origins) ..
I still prefeer to be called *shepard* than *warden* after having sex with Leliana.

Leliana -  Warden .. it's was Great!
Warden- Call me by my name
Leliana - Okay .... what was it? Oh yeah i remember
Warden-Good
Leliana:Later  Warden
Warden : AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Exactly Carmen...

I love Leliana, would love to carry on an adventure WITH her, but not AS her....

Seriously, poeple are getting all dove eyed over this news? WK, RtO, DSC.....you folk really think this will be so much better than those?

A few dollars for a an hours (max) stoyline, and one that doesnt even make any difference to the main story?

"Sign" I was hoping that it would show what Leliana was doing during DAO: Awakening and a good look at Orlais but instead it seems the players is stuck with Marjolaine and her fuax accent.

You won't even get to kill her either,

[sesheta255]

I would much prefer dlc that adds to my wardens story. I'd much prefer something like RTO or the Shale dlc. I refuse to buy DC because I have no interest in playing as a darkspawn, and I won't be getting this one either. For me Leliana was the most annoying, useless character in the game, so playing as her is the last thing I want to do.

[Tony_Knightcrawler]

Sounds pretty cool.

@Jamie; I had to laugh.    Those were two perfect  DA riffs on two classic titles.

@Wicked;  For the first reference, see "Tom Stoppard", (and if you've never seen the work in question, you're in for a treat!)  For the second, see Godot.  For the humor relative to DA DLC... I guess you just had to be there.
