Does this DLC assume you romanced Morrigan and did the ritual?

I think the "or" implies that you could have had whatever relationship you wanted and still get closure.

I doubt it. It's too restrictive and she's not even bi.

The DLC accounts for all outcomes with Morrigan, regarding both relationship and DR, Gaider said.

I wonder, if there had been no silly epilogue slides in Awakening (or if they didn't imply a mysterious disappearance, instead saying something concrete) would people (Alistair fans in particular) still be upset? If the Origins epilogue was the only ending we had, would people still be demanding closure?

Makes you wonder if allowing you to import the Warden to Awakening was actually a good thing in the long run. If you could only play it with an Orlesian, nobody would've been upset about "mysterious disappearances".

Yeah, I agree with you. It's just that Awakening epilogues implied this is not the last we hear of the Warden, so it made everyone think we're gonna have more adventures. Yeah, we got GoA and Witch Hunt but I think everyone hope for another, expansion, at least - and that's why they're disappointed.
However, if only epilogue slides were changed in Awakening, it wouldn't have provided enough closure I think - Awakening was way too abrupt. If the expansion on the whole felt more complete, then probably there'd be less frustration.

It shouldn't be that hard to account for all relationships. I mean, there were pretty much four options, right? Hostile, neutral, close friend, romance.

[Dean_the_Young]

Double that depending on whether the Grey Warden is the parent or not? (I'm not sure if a male GW can have Alistair still do it, but it would alter the dynamic.)

Yeah, I don't think it'd be that hard. Even when combined with the DR choice.

I wonder, what the game will assume if you create a new character? That you're an Orlesian Warden and just happened to hear something about a mysterious witch in the woods? Or that you're *the* Warden, so if you're male they'd assume romance, and if female, friendship? Or just neutral for both? Hmm.

[Inzhuna]

@Dean_The_Young, yeah male warden still can ask Alistair/Loghain to do it.

It's the confirmed last DLC for DA:O?

I wonder if this means they might include all the DLCs into one DA:O game, like Fallout 3 Collector's Edition.

[Agka87]

I wonder if Alistair / Loghain will be our second companion...

[Remy LeBeau]

Man, I was expecting Morrigans story line to continue with an expansion pack on this mysterious date 02.01.2011. Did anybody else think the same?

[Spartansfan8888]

Maybe there's still hope for a future expansion... they did say this is the last DLC but not the last expansion right?

Last content for Origins period.  No expac.  All hail Hawke.

The Warden's tale is done... There is no way they will be able to continue him on to fit everyone's origins and everyone's appearance... His story will be told later, but he himself will probably die in this DLC. At least that's what I'm hoping for...

I hope we don't die in the end... but I agree with you that it is a very real possibility.  I'm hoping that Morrigan can somewhat see the future like Flemeth can and foretell Hawke's rise to power and this can plausibly set the tone to pass the torch from the Warden to Hawke as the main hero/ine of the story.

30 year post Joining lifespan for Wardens, so yeah. He's got roughly 28 to go, maybe.

[EccentricSage]

Zevran stays with all my wardens, so if he is not in this DLC, then it will be utterly immersion breaking. they can't keep using the 'he's confronting the Crows in Antiva without you' excuse. It hardly made sense for Awakening, I can't imagine it making any more sence being used a second time.

[Sarah1281]

I know he's supposed to 'stay by your side' but does that really make it realistic that he's following you around like a puppy 24/7?

While this new download sounds interesting they are still many unresolved issues form DA:O. If you played a NF and married Alistair one of his concerns is an heir to the throne? How this going to be answered?

That's not the kind of thing that's going to be an immediate concern a year post-Blight, especially if you're never in Denerim to try and have babies. Presumably, if the subject ever comes up they'll have a default probably-not-related-to-Alistair-or-Anora heir like one of Fergus' kids.

[Zjarcal]

@Phedra:



Not every question about DA:O has to be answered. There are many things that you could ponder on but don't necessarily have to be answered.



As for that particular question, it would be really easy for someone else to get the HNF pregnant and they can just say it's Alistair's baby.

[Phedra]

I am not one who is crazy about pondering; I like resolutions to situation, carrying on the Therin bloodline seems to be important enough to have the landsmeet the an answer to the heir of Alistair should matter.



While a case can be made for either Alistair or the HNF could conceive a with someone else; however I am not sure I am crazy about that option personally.



Call it a pet peeve if you will.

[Sarah1281]

If there is no heir then there is no heir and there is nothing that anybody can do. The Landsmeet (who doesn't seem all THAT concerned with blood as they're perfectly happy to let Anora take the throne alone) would just have to deal with their lack of Theirin babies. As long as Alistair names someone else his heir before he dies, a smooth transition can be made.

It's important to Eamon, not the nobles. They are just as happy with Anora on the throne.

I understand your pet peeve but there's nothing you can do about it. Two GW can't have kids, period.

Ha ha dog returns! Excellent! What more could I ask for in a dlc? My wardens back in all his bearded goodness, some sort of conclusion to my Morrigan romance (and possibly the OGB), faithful ole Mabari. The only way this dlc could be better is if it allowed me to stab a drunken hobo Alistair (aw go on Bioware, please?)
