Wait.....they are making DLC for Morrigan.......doesn't this basically just mean they are jipping her story in order to move on?

Who says that Morrigan's story ends with the DLC?

You made my day, Mr. Gaider

But still, that date that was included in Awakening's box...Hate to be so persistent, but, it's still coming or was it scrapped?

Move over, Clive Barker and your Hellbound Heart.  With oh-so-rotten teasers like that, I think you're going to have company...

Who wants to bet BioWare's servers melt down September 7th?

LOL, yup.  I guess this is why they are doing maintenance on the buying points system a few days before hand.

The WARDEN, Lord Gaider! WHAT ABOUT THE WARDEN??!!! (shakes you like a madman)
Still though, nice to know Morrigans story might not be completely over.

I hate to be cynical, but I suppose this means we can no longer believe a word BW says.  Apologies to Chris as he is just the messanger. 

I'm sick of hearing "we can't trust BioWare" "BioWare lies".

You guys make it sound like they are scamming you out of a fortune. No, they are a company giving you information.

I can't wait:)



Not that it is required or important, just saying, this DLC devoted to Morrigan would be a fabulous time to overhaul the Shapeshifter specialization.



Like I said, not at all the focus of the dlc and why I want to pay it, but it would be a nice surprise gift in a patch for the dlc.

I don't know about you, but I hope this is the Warden's Conclusion. I mean, he's gone a long way, and this is the last thread that needs to be tied before his journey is complete. That's what I hope for anyways.

Warden sacrifices himself to save his beloved Morrigan.



Those wardens who don't care about Morrigan will be still sacrificed. For consistency's sake. Just random guessing...

Well, this is great news! Can't wait to play this. But, I am sad to see this be the last DLC for DAO. I was under the impression that when DAO was released, there would constant DLC for it. The game has not been out for a full year and they are already calling it quits on the DLC? I know they will focus their energy to DAO2, but the original is where it all starts. At least we have this to keep us going till next March for DAO2.

It's pretty apparent that the purpose of this DLC is to establish canon with regards to Morrigan/DR for DA2. There will probably be only one end result of this DLC, or at most, several "different" endings that are interchangeable as far as carryover to DA2 will be concerned.
The developers essentially had three options regarding carryover of Morrigan's fate to DA2:
1. Ignore the choice regarding Morrigan and leave it out or accept only one  outcome as canon, creating a major plot hole.
2. Write two whole games for DA2 at great expense to address each potentially world-changing outcome of the DR choice.
3. Establish some events between DA:O and DA2 that we accept as canon but effectively render the original decision irrelevant.
I realize that the third option is the best compromise, but I can't help but think how the possibly epic consequences of my decision in DA:O will be wrapped up in 7 bucks and a few hours of buggy gameplay.
Ex.:

SPOILER
Take a female GW for example, who has Alistair or Loghain knock up Morrigan for the DR. You're creating not just a demon baby, but one who has claim to the throne of Ferelden. This is a pretty epic premise. But what if the writers whip up a DLC saying how Morrigan is canonically dead because she died in childbirth if you did her DR or got eaten by a bear if you didn't, ultimately having the same effect on DA2 but at the same time, utterly LAME.
Obviously (I hope), Gaider won't do something like that, but even an epic battle with an Old God baby (if you did DR) or (a possibly returned from banishment, depending on your other actions in DA:O) Flemeth (arbitrarily chosen because she has a high dragon form and she lives in southern Ferelden, where the DLC is said to take place) would mean the same thing: no more Old God Baby to deal with in DA2 and a decent bossfight even if you chose not to do the DR.

At the very least, this does lend weight to the Arlathan speculation for DA2 because we now have crossed off the first two items on Arl Foreshadow's grocery list (Orlesian Dictionary > Awakening; Offspring and the Fade > Witch Hunt) and we know that, because this is the last DLC, Forest Fall must apply to DA2. 

END SPOILER

For all that I naysay, I still expect to be purchasing Witch Hunt because, while there may be a dissatisfyingly general ending, I want to know what it is. And hey, maybe there isn't. But there's only so much that $7 can buy.

eh origins had a good run. i never expected that 2 years to go threw, DA2 announcement pretty much put the final nail in that coffin

Given how different DA2 is I thought they might keep producing DAO content even after DA2's release.

Why not serve both audiences?

They did say there would be save import into DA2 which would affect the state of the world. So idk.

[Lord Gremlin]

2baygull: You forgot that Gaider never writes lame stories. And he is behind this DLC. So expect some really shocking plot twists.

[Patch5129]

Regarding the "2 years of DLC" seeming like it wont be 2 years after all. Do you think they originally planned all the DLC we have seen so far released over the span of 2 years, and decided to release them sooner instead.

Or (hopefully) we're going to see more DLC over the coming months.

AMEN! 

Because its not seperate audiences, you'd be allocating more manpower to an older project while still allocating to the new.  Its not cost effective.

hiiii, I'm a big fan of dragon age origins and I was asking miself if the witch hunt will be like the awakening a expantion on DVD or it's just going to be DLC.
