Anybody have any idea what that means? Is this a bug? Did anybody else gain XP? Have I reached some kind of cap?

Even though I have never reached level 35, I believe that is the new level cap.
When you reach level 25 in Origins, the xp bar indicates "0/NaN experience points to level 26" as well.

The level cap is 35, so your character is at maximum level.

Should there be a new Official Witch Hunt discussion (spoiler free) thread started and this current one moved to the spoiler section? There are a lot of info in this tread now, it would be sad to ruin someones game if they don't want to know possible endings and such. Perhaps a new tread that could start fresh? Spoiler free =)
Well, have fun gaming =)

I enjoyed it, but am a little embarrassed that I have played so many times that I cannot recall which Warden had the romantic link with Morrigan. Guess I will have to do a more detailed search, and find out other possible endings to the story.
Just reload each save and go through the Epilouge!
If one says her regretting and feeling sorrow then that is it!
Don't listin to people that say that the regret ending only means your friends.
You know deep down that it means she regrets leaving you!

Then Morrigan steals the book. Which leads to to the cause of Witch Hunt. She gave a hint by saying she was wrong about Flemeth wanting to be immortal. She knows what she wants because she read the BOOK! Flemeth might already be immortal because she might be a Old God!

Overall the quality was comparable to Dragon Age:Origins, especially the story, cutscenes and the banter. For me it was the best Dragon Age DLC (despite! the fact that Morrigan didn't ackknowledge that she did the Dark Ritual). Standout moments include the library banter, the various references of things of the past and the future, amount of story, cutscenes and dialogue, the party banter and, of course, Morrigan.
But despite its high quality some things didn't work. It is too short, a flaw it shares with all the Dragon Age DLC that came before. Every piece of story DLC felt like it was the first half of a bigger high quality sidequest - again: high quality, yes, but only a fraction of it. Quests this short (for me) do not work for a RPG like Dragon Age. Mass Effect 2 collected player data, Dragon Age should do the same. Maybe it is a good idea to focus the length of future Dragon Age 2 DLC around an average session of a player (in his first playthrough, when things are most interesting). Or have a survey as to what length of given quality would be seen as meaningful amount of content for a DLC (independent of its price). I really do believe this is the crucial point for Dragon Age DLC. Again, the high quality is there, but high quality is nothing without appropriate length.

The entire DLC consists of rehashed environments we do get one new boss but in exactly the same location where we fought a boss in DA:O Awakenings.
I've played through it in about 1 and a half hour and the ending is incredibly unsatisfactory (and I get the tie in to DA2 but that's hardly an excuse).
The Morrigan encounter just felt phoned in she offered no real insight into her actions and in no way did it conclude the DA:O storyline in the end you'll be non the wiser as to the motivations or plans of Morrigan and wasn't that exactly what the DLC marketed?
This should have been free just to get people excited for DA2 not $7,-

Now that you mention it downloading DLC which was marketed as a
conclusion to previous events but did nothing to conclude said events
is totally like eating a bad sandwich and then wanting your money
back.
My god man this must be THE most profound remark I have read in my entire life.
Please could you contribute more pearls of wisdom in the form of analogies from mediocre sitcoms??
I really hope you can your words truly inspired me.

I will remark that there should have been emphasis on the 'I' in "I didn't really enjoy that".
Personally I did enjoy that, many others did too. Granted a vocal portion of the community did not enjoy the DLC or felt it was too bugged. The bug is being investigated and if possible will be fixed. But asking for a refund because you personally didn't enjoy something even though you used it completely is not reasonable.

No, a better analogy would be buying a sandwich, which turned out to be rotten and asking for a refund, which is justifiable.

No asking for a refund when said product does not live up to standards is not unreasonably at all.
All the objections I made are not subjective all the environments were rehashed the DLC did not bring closure to Morrigans story although it was advertised as such and the DLC is bugged.
Whether or not you've enjoyed the experience is completely subjective though (I might just have high standards) but from a quality point of view WH was not up to Bioware's standards.

All the objections I made are not subjective
1. All the environments were rehashed [Subjective for the reason that you didn't like that. I did. Two different people with two different opinions. So it's subjective.]
2. The DLC did not bring closure to Morrigan's story although it was advertised as such [Subjective for the reason that your ending did not bring closure. Mine did. Two different people with two different opinions. So it's subjective.]
3. The DLC is bugged. Yes, yes it is. I personally didn't experience any bugs, many others didn't either. Others did experience the bug. Bioware have acknowledged this and are working on the problem and will issue a fix when that is possible. Bugs happen, it's software, that's a granted. [On the subjective note, if I hadn't read the forums I wouldn't know it was bugged, so I would be none the wiser and my experience was that it was not bugged.]

Enjoying the experience is subjective. As for your statement that it is not up to Bioware's standards, that is subjective. For me it is up to Bioware's standards.
So when it comes down to it, after subjectivity is removed, the bug is the only problem. And that will be fixed for the people that experienced it.

It's not even aquestion of whether or not I liked it they did nothing new for the DLC if I wanted to visit the same stuff again I could've just played DA:O again that would've saved me $7,-1. All the environments were rehashed [Subjective for the reason that you didn't like that. I did. Two different people with two different opinions. So it's subjective.]
I've played through every outcome and non of them brought closure since we can't discuss spoilers here I recon we'll have to leave it at that.2. The DLC did not bring closure to Morrigan's story although it was advertised as such [Subjective for the reason that your ending did not bring closure. Mine did. Two different people with two different opinions. So it's subjective.]
Really you expect nothing new from DLC you pay money for you are satisfied with the same locals same mobs?Enjoying the experience is subjective. As for your statement that it is not up to Bioware's standards, that is
subjective. For me it is up to Bioware's standards.
The two new characters were less than one dimensional they had no real motivations or backgrounds wit
does not substitute substance.Why not simply use old characters at least they had some connection to Morrigan.
But it shouldn't have been released this buggy now shouldn't it? It's simply lazy.So when it comes down to it, after subjectivity is removed, the bug is the only problem. And that will be fixed for the people that experienced it.

As for the bug. It wasn't laziness, it was a mistake and mistakes happen. It's being investigated to be fixed. That is a resolution to the problem.
I think I'll stop responding now as we've repeated a lot of the same things just in different ways. I'll keep an eye on the thread though if you reply.
I hope that once the bug is fixed you can enjoy the DLC a good deal better.

• A nice little arc from one of the origin stories.
• An interesting twist to the history of the site of another origin story.
The bad:
• The new npcs are trivial.
• Combat is trivial, as you have access to the overpowered Awakenings talents and spells and there is no enemy remotely as tough as in the Golems DLC. And that was with a character direct from Origins. It would be beyond trivial for a character that completed Awakenings.
The ugly:
• A major npc and plot point are sacrificed to promote DA2. Yes, Morrigan urges you to buy DA2 – not in some many words, of course - and no, you don’t get much else from her. How Bioware could think this will be effective is beyond me. I was neutral in my expectations of DA2 but now I have completely lost trust in Bioware.

That was pretty ugly imo. You would've hoped they would've put some sort of effort into making the final dlc and bring about some conclusions. . ya know something special instead of a commercial that we had to pay for!

Are you serious? As if BioWare really needs to do that, their game record itself is good enough for people to buy Dragon Age 2, not to mention that I'm very happy with such ending, because we know this will not be the last we will hear from Morrigan, our Warden, and the child they have, I would much rather see the ending later in a proper sequel rather than a 2-hour DLC.
