In all due seriousness OriginsIsBest, think of the game as a novel. It has a rather captivating story, interesting characters and like in any epic adventure our hero must somehow battle against impossible odds and save the day.

However, some novels have a....trying to avoid the word incomplete but lets use it with a milder effect......a incomplete conclusion. You get the ending and the actual conclusion of the events and the dangers our hero faced but they wont tell you everything that happend from that point onward. It is actually a story-telling strategy in order to make the readers imagine, on their own, what happend next.

Make no mistake. I wish a more outlined conclusion myself. I want my warden to run with morrigan and make a baby football team, but if the writers leave room for speculation, this is my view on why they do it.

That I can fully agree with, it has been badged as the resolution to the Morrigan romance/DR storyline, so for those who followed that, the reviews and spoilers indicate a less than satisfactory conclusion; those people, and I suspect that includes you, have my sympathies.


But it doesn't even seem like it gives the Warden a solid last hurrah either- so whats the point behind this DLC if it doesn't end up satisfying either the Morrigan fans or those that want resolution and closure for the Warden? We shall see on Tuesday I suppose...

WTF?? This is the Morrigan closure we get? This just made me hate Hawke with a passion. Sorry but I will pass on DA2.

BioWare has this sh*t so messed up right now. The world of "Thedas" is not as important as the story and characters, guess they gotta learn that the hard way.


We need to bring up the spoilerific Gamespot "preview" to Gaider in the livestream today. Not that it matters much, but if the ending to WH is as lacking in closure and answers as it seems....:ph34r:

 Yes well, it doesnt make me want to stick around for Hawke in DA2. I'm not buying, I will rent it at most, or borrow it of my mates, only takes about a day to complete right? Posted Image
Then we get more cliffhangers, except this time it doesnt matter, because nobody gives a sh*t about Hawke! yay!

Well everyone wanted this. So everyone should be happy/


Umm...I wanted a 'full sequel' for the resolution of the Morrigan/Warden thingy. :P :lol:

Oh well. Must...stay...optimistic. :wizard:


Did you think you'd get that for $7/£5?

I'd quite happily pay £25 for another expansion pack that tied up all the loose ends to the DA:O storyline.

Umm. I was poking at the quoted poster's 'everyone' lines. I wanted (still do) a full sequel dealing w/ the 'issues'. Since that won't be happening for DA2, I can wait for DA 3 or 4 or whenever. :lol:

Still, even if I'm not satisfied w/ the upcoming DLC, I don't that'll stop me from getting DA2. :)

I'm going to spam...the *bleep* out of that ustream today.
Since WH won't give us some proper closure. It's only going to leave us with more questions. ( Just finish the story! I dont give a flying horse about Hawke and his rise to power! )

The best we can hope for is that DA3 brings back the warden and Morrigan story. Since that looks unlikely I think I'm done with DA after WH kicks me in the nuts Posted Image

My emotionally cold, arcane warrior alienage elf who despises all other races will take his beloved and faithful dog and do his level best to kill (unlikely) the callous **** who deserted the cause on the eve of the final battle.

Doubt he'll get that chance, from what I've heard its been hinted at by Bioware that she'll have a very prominent role in DA3. But yeah that was what I originally expected from this DLC, closure for all, the chance to go with her if you had a romance with her or the chance to kill/wound her if you hated her.
Whether or not either of us get those choices we'll have to wait and see, but the previews certainly don't spell much good... on the upside I think the IGN DA2 preview called the darkspawn they encountered goblins, so one can wonder how much faith one should put in previews! ;)

Until we see the DLC it's impossible to say what resolution will be offered. Until then all is speculation.

Exactly, Gamespot and IGN both had highly dubious reviews lacking in journalistic rigour. I'll reserve judgement until I've played the DLC.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I just have the feeling Gaider will be cackling maniacally on Tuesday when he feels a great disturbance in the Force,as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Hmmm. After reading the gamespot preview, I'm not surprised that Bioware has another disappointing dlc. Isn't that par for the course for them with dlc for this game? Having said that, the gamespot preview is probably a pressure relief. . .a way of reeling in the high expectations that a lot of posters here have for this dlc. Realistically, this dlc is a lose-lose for Bioware: no way to appease the masses and no way to wrap the story up in 1.5 hrs. The fact that they chose to go ahead and release it makes me question their sanity and left me to wonder if they just got lucky with DA:O.

Well, I must admit that I'm afraid that Gaider did IT again.

So DA2 will have us play as Hawke... only to realize somehow he will become an evil tyrant or powerful evil lord of some sort. Then in DA3, we'll realize that the godchild is somehow of a savior, and we'll probably play as him, trying to bring down the vil empire of Hawke The Evil One. Either way, the Grey Warden will either be dead, or a very old man. Maybe he could get to see his son before he dies... and one last reunion with Morrigan? Oh whatever... won't happen anyway.

Exalted March, you mean?

At this point though, any Wardens that have romanced Morrigan have been smacked upside the head with the Plot Hammer and kicked in the balls so much that another disappointing ending like is hinted at with Witch Hunt is just beating a dead horse at this point.

If its as inconclusive as Gamespot made it out to be, my faith in BioWare to complete a meaningful story will take a big hit and I'll likely give up on DA.

Right, so everybody is hoping that the warden returns in DA3 along with Morrigan?



HA! When pigs fly, you know they are going to introduce another character with a voice, with a whole knew totally awesome title.



I hope to god they get back on track with DA3, and no f*cking Hawke either.



But that won't happen, so if WH kicks me in nuts, I'm raging on these forums and leaving DA2 in the dust.

Oh I'm sure Bioware isn't finished with her. She most definitely will be in DA3 with her child. But the emotional closure with our Warden is not likely to happen. The Warden at the time of DA3 will be very old (don't they die at 50?) or dead, and Morrigan will likely not have aged (spells and stuff). The lack closure will be a wound in our gamers and Morrifans' hearts. You'll see. She'll remain this inaccessible exotic creature we love her for.
