Yes, Witch Hunt is the final DLC for Dragon Age: Origins, and imo a great send off to an awesome game.

What happened to "2 years..."? Dragon Age 2. 

A lot of people keep bringing up the "But we were promised 2 years of DLC" thing.  Eh...whatever.  2 years worth of DLC for a game I love is great, but I have a feeling we got 2 years worth of DLC (or close to it), just on a much more abbreviated timeline than Bioware originally planned.  After all, we've gotten:

The Stone Prisoner   (November, 2009)
Warden's Keep   (November, 2009)
Return to Ostagar   (January, 2010)
Feastday Gifts & Pranks   (April, 2010)
Darkspawn Chronicles   (May, 2010)
Leliana's Song   (July, 2010)
Golems of Amgarrak   (August, 2010)
Witch Hunt   (September, 2010)


Also, don't forget that Dragon Age was originally supposed to be released in early 2009, as opposed to late 2009.  Perhaps the two years thing hadn't taken into account the 6 month delay.

If Dragon Age had been released in early 2009 as originally planned, then gradually released a new DLC pack once every 2-4 months, the above list easily would've qualified as 2 years worth of DLC. 

I just think with the 6 month delay on Origins release, combined with EA likely encouraging Bioware to release DA2 as soon as possible resulted in a much shorter "game life" than Bioware originally intended with Origins and its DLC.

Sorry, but many of those really don't cut it as DLC. Only 3 expand the game, and only 2 of those were done with any care. RtO was a slapdash affair. I really don't count the opportunity to kill all your companions as a valuable addition and Golems is just a dungeon--easy enough for a modder to do. The first two DLC set the bar fairly high, and they haven't even tried to reach that again, except possibly with Leliana's Song, and that didn't have the companion interactions of the first two. That was okay when we still had a year of DLC coming, not every one had to be a gem, but now? It's not so good.

I haven't read all of the posts in this topic, but will they have three possible "story lines" for this?



1) If you import an Orlesian warden from Awakening, what possible reason would he have for finding Morrigan?

2) If you're a female warden, will Alistair be along if he did the DR?

3) If you did the DR with her



Also, if you didn't agree to the DR, Morrigan just leaves so why would you want to find her?

the more i read back chris' highly annoying comment about the 2 years of dlc promise thing, the more i think hes winding us up. surely, even he can't have the immaturity to say something like that?? no..there is an expansion or something coming in the 6 month gap, ill bet my life on it..
if im wrong, my life is gone ( ) but overall chris, i have lost a LOT of respect for BioWare

And what would this "expansion" be about you think? What story could they possibly do? I would disagree, I sure seems like they are advertising this as the last origins continuation that will happen... An expansion seems to good to be true, which means it probably is.

Maybe that date which came inside Awakening is an expansion pack, to tease us back before DA2 comes out.

 and maybe Morrigan's DLC is the last for a reason

This maybe, and I hope to hell will be correct. Because, to come out with a comment like "We can't give you the 2 years of DLC we promised because of DA2" is a big F U to the loyal fans. That's ridiculous, even for Priestley!! I honestly think he's winding us up. He's annoyed a lot of people with that smartass comment of his, and i woulda thought not even he would be stupid enough to intentionally make that mistake

Just wondering, will Morrigan talk about you if you died? Am I going to get a...

SPOILERS

Morrigan: Oh hi, stranger! You remind me of someone! He was a real ****. He wouldn't have a demon baby with me! Even if it would've saved his life! So what if he was with another girl! I mean, look at me! Would you pass this up!

END SPOILERS

If so, please tell.

Hmmm. It never occurred to me that he might be joking, I mean, that would be so.... No, wait, Victor said it was the final DLC, and I don't think he's screw with us for the pleasure of it.

1. Orlesian warden from Awakening, or if you start a new character just for this DLC, you will find Morrigan, because the "wardens" in Fereldon have heard about her return... and she is a popular presence...because of her involvment with the warden. It's not that complicated... they would just treate it as another mission to investiage...
2. I doubt it, he will be ruling the country.
3. If you did the Dark Ritual, then I think you would want to find her, and if you didn't, you still would want to investiage whatever she may be up to, because you obviously don't trust her in that story.

Er, have you been paying attention to the PR for DA2? It's the most backhanded, bollocksed rollout since Stargate Universe....

I think Zevran is the most "loved" of any companion.

Yay for Morrigan! She and my Warden were best friends during DA:O, and I was so sad when she left--she was like the grouchy big sister my Warden never had. This is going to be fun 

Thanks, BioWare!  Oh, and as for the "two years of DLC" thing, I'd rather have expansions and sequels than DLC.  The only DLC I've ever purchased was the first day DLC that came with the game, Warden's Keep, and Kasumi.  Generally I don't think DLC is all that worth it and I'd much rather have a shiny new DA2 game in the next year than five other little pieces of DLC for what adds up to be a lot of money for not a lot of additional content.

resulted in a much shorter "game life" than Bioware originally intended with Origins and its DLC.

they intended so much with the game: ongoing toolset support, dlc just for the modding community, tons of patches and dlc, the greatest modding community of all times. it all sounded so fabulous but in the end was abandoned just for the sake of quick money. they reached such a tiny goal with those bad quality dlc they released so far (not counting stone prisoner and warden's keep). they willingly misled their fanbase - that's the real shame! it's not that those decisions popped out of a sudden....

[Caladon]

Im Confused is this the very last dlc for DRAGON AGE ORIGINS becuase it is said in interveiws in the behind the scenes dvd from the collecters edition that you promise to add in new content for a minimum of 2 years and it has yet to be one year sins origins came out ? Dont get me wrong im looking forward to this one but if its the last then I will feel abit cheated as i was realy looking forward to 24months of dlcs content. Or has this been changed because DA2 is coming out in march and this is a way of trying to push ppl into that instead. Just saying that your rep is going to drop if you say one thing and then do the complete opposite. Dont get me wrong I love bioware baldurs aget 1&2 icewind dale 1&2 kootor 1 &2 (yes i now they didnt do the second but i still liked it  even if it was unfinished) and DAO?

Well if this is the end of all DAO content then please make it huge not somthing i can finish in less then 30mins like golems. Make it hours of play time:)

Or is this just the end of the warden story and there will still be other DLC like liennas song following those chars?

[Lord_Saulot]

While I am excited for this DLC, I hope that Bioware will go back toward a more traditional mode of content distribution in the future, focusing on game, patches, expansions. I prefer full expansions to multiple DLC.

[DarkxBlood89]

As awesome and excited as I am about Witch Hunt I'm disappointed this is the last DLC.

I was really hoping for something to do with Zevran. Especially after he was supposed to stay with you at the end of Origins and was gone in Awakening.



Also would have liked to see something more about Sten. Though maybe since they redid the design in DA2 they are gonna leave that alone.



Still... I want my ZEVRAN, Darnit! I feel like I romanced him for nothing. Oh well, there's always fan fiction.

[HighlandBerserkr]

K, not reading through all these pages, this is AWESOME and i cannot wait, but has anyone complained yet that Bioware lied to us? they said they would release DLC for at least two years after release, and already we are getting the final DLC, what gives ?

Like otheres pointed out:
The '2 years of dlc'  were announced before the 6 months of delay popped up
- suprising though that CP didn't seem to remember that...

Also, I love how we're bashing BioWare in the same thread in which they announced a DLC many of us have been clamoring for.  Ah, Interwebs.  Truly you know no bounds of making me facepalm.

[night0205]

I don't know... Golems of Amgarrak has not been confirmed to import into Witch Hunt.

Saibh -- Is this one of the items in the FeastDay pack (I don't have that DLC)?  If not, I'm terribly confused... but also intrigued.
