I'm playing Origins in DiD (Dead is Dead) mode, so whether I make it all the way through in time for Witch Hunt without having to do another restart remains to be seen. Also, whenever one of my companions get's killed I remove them from the party. As such, I'll have to take extra care to ensure Moragan's survival so that she's involved in the end-game.

Looking forward to this DLC!

I'm slightly confused by the end of your thought process there.
If you kick Morrigan out of your party manually she'll still come back for the end of the game, I believe.
Therefore, you'd either need to accept that Morri "got better" or you'll need to consider Morri dying a restart-required decision because the game is now "broken".

If Morrigan gets "killed", I consider she is seriously injured, and out of action until she decides to appear  in the end-game. Furthermore, if a companion is killed (or knocked unconcious), I have the added burden of taking the injured back to camp regardless where I am or what I am doing. Granted it's all make-believe, but playing this way helps me enjoy the game more.

Man, I really hope this DLC is good.

From what I read somewhere (I could be wrong), they will allow you to import your Warden into DA2...? Although I have no idea how that will affect the story or the gameplay. If they plan on allowing us to import our Warden, then it's very unlikely our Wardens die. Not that I would mind playing as Hawke (Hawke is going to be a woman when I get DA2).

I would guess you import the political situation you left in Ferelden and get "mails" as DA2 progresses of how Ferelden is going. But they claimed that wasn´t possible in Awakening and used the US retcon instead. Also a possible cameo in Lothering.

Well, its importing the Warden's last save, rather than the Warden. That save containing info about your choices etc from Origins and thus how the world was affected.

That doesn't stop them killing off the Warden but if they did do that........

I would be inclined to agree with you.  I can see how you might see our warden during Lothering, but anytime after that.  I would seriously doubt it.

They need more then that, this is their time to add some plot-twists into DA:2. They've already stated they want to add Morrigan's story into DA:2, so...I'm assuming this isn't going to end well at all. =P Or else why would her story have any need to continue, which is exactly what they need to do, Last DLC=Time to Hype up their full console release, and I love the DLC's and everything, but yeah....1 hour and 30 minutes worth of content every month/two months pales in comparison to a full length feature game. So I'm completely fine with DLC stopping early if that means more work on DA:2.

Funnt that, because the flip side to that argument is that given how quickly DA 2 is being pushed onto the market after Origins, ( just over 1 year ) there is a perfectly valid point that rather than more work on DA 2 taking place as a result of curtailing Origins DLC's early, there has in fact, been less work done.

And guess what..yes, the game will be much shorter.

 

Actually, the fact that theres only 1 year and about 4 months of work on it, doesn't mean it's going to be bad by any means. They had the tech already made, they just did improvements to it. So yeah....Storyline/voice acting will be MUCH easier the second time around, since they already know exactly what to do. If anything DA:2 will likely blow Origins out of the water. Which realistically any SEQUEAL should, be better then the first. Thats the point of a sequeal afterall....

Agreed. Minus one year of DLC is horrifying enough, but literally telling our Warden to "go **** himself" by replacing his spotlight with that of Hawke's, who I assure everyone will have his chance to become a legend, is a horrible no-show approach at this climatic ending.

Minus one year of DLC's but getting a full length game...Yeah, the latter is much better. And the Warden has HAD the spotlight for an entire game, expansion and multiple DLC's. How much spotlight does someone really need? This is something that shouldn't JUST be about the Warden or JUST about Hawke, they should make this good enough to where after the end of this DLC, it'll have you(the person in general finishing the DLC) completely intereasted within DA:2, thats smart marketing, aswell as smart storytelling. Anyone who'd disagree isn't looking at the bigger picture and really is a little 'too' attached to their warden. I love my Warden too, but hell, I'ma love to see some epic storyline unfold right into DA:2.

A DLC is hardly suited to an epic cross over tale, so within a limited 2 hour tale there is just not the time to tell the kind of story you would like to see. Arguably as well, those who suggest that people are "too attached" to their Warden and want DA 2 stuff right now are a]impatient and b]seem a little too much like blind Hawke shippers.

Sure, a full game is better than a DLC but whether it comes on March 11th next year or had it been a year later than that, the full game will finally arrive, no doubt about that. So dismissing Origins DLC's on the basis of that argument is redundant, other than making the complanee seem like a restless teenager.

( and one of the primary agruments against Hawke/DA 2 as now presented is that it does seem to have been rushed and therefore truncated to cater to exactly those impatient people. Thus by Origins standards, DA 2 will be much shorter. )

Everything you just said sounds stupid, Alright, if you make a full length feature movie, and you want to hype that it's going to have an amazing sequeal, what do they do? THEY GIVE A CLIFFHANGER ENDING. Sure this is better suited for an Expansion instead of a DLC, but thats not something anyone but Bioware can controll. Origins is done after this DLC, time to look at the bigger picture and that is....DA:2. The next content in line for the Dragon Age series. Bioware gave us an amazing game in Origins so why not just trust that they're doing it right and after they do their first lousy game then complain? Who knows how long it realistically will take them to make the game, or if they had ALREADY been working on DA:2 before DA:O even hit shelves, some companies do that, depending on the confidence of their product. And my arguement was, that DA:2 is coming sooner, rather then later, so dismissing Origin's DLC Sooner, Rather than later was a GOOD thing. That means they can start working on DA:2 DLC after it's release.

How or why can you import your Warden if DA:2 does not include you playing as your Warden? It makes no sense...unless the DA:2 storyline incorporates your Warden as an NPC in their current role in Ferelden (as in the HN Origin) into it and Hawke has some interactions with them.  Now that angle would be VERY interesting to say the least and would definitely make me want to play it but sadly I doubt we will see a storyline this creative and interesting.

Its reportedly about the length of ME2 which given the increased cost by making it fully voiced is probably all that could have been expected and quite frankly there are some grindy areas in DAO that could have been shorter without lessening the game.

Yes, you can import a character from Awakening, thus an Orlesian is valid as well.

Oh gawd, the Deep Roads is the first thing which comes in mind. Also if we think about it, the origins stories themselves make for up for a chunk of the game.

You weren't importing your Warden directly.  You were importing the choices and decisions made across all the games.  So if you kept importing your character from Origins to Awakening to Golems and finally to Witch Hunt, then everything you did along the way would be carried over even if the character specifically isn't.

My first time through ME2 still took me about 45 hours to complete, which yes, was half of my first Origins run (90 hours) but still far and away long enough to feel like I got my $ worth.  I do agree though that some Origins areas could be have been a little shorter, but I'm not going to nitpick over that.

da:o is one of the biggest and most awesome games ever... this dlc will just make it even better

He can edit it though. Won't see a thing but go on BBcode mode and delete all espaces past the last word of original post. That should delete the weird codes too.

[Theagg]

Pafff, all this aside, Leliana sent my warden a letter. She was going to tell me all about the audience with the Grand Cleric ( that must have been something serious, or special..I mean, the Grand Cleric, what could that have been about ? ) but I will never get to know now will I....

[Elite Midget]

Well, it was a good 2 year run of DLC for Origins. It had to end sometime, right?

[night0205]

Yeah Dragon Age Origins basically started and finished in less then a year, but I admit they released quite a bit of stuff in that time... I just hope that this DLC wraps up the Warden's end nicely.

[1bloodyrogue]

I'm seriously thinking its possible to kill Morrigan and us ourselves die shortly after. I mean nobody really wants to imagine the end the warden we created. So they force it on us and make us accept Hawke by offing us. Story wise.
