The only reason I purchased this DLC was that I was under the impression there would be answers to at least some of the things alluded by Morrigan/DR. I didnt romance her (or like her but that's beside the point).

To say I didnt get what I expected is an understatement. I literally feel ripped off. As such I've given up on the whole franchise. I've lost all confidence in Bioware/DAO team.

see you around the net.

I was really looking forward to actually tracking Morrigan down. I would have been so cool to have effectively been 'hunting' her. Tracking her through all of Ferelden would have made for an excellent game. Instead, we just track a few mirrors and poof - there she is.

[Foreman20]

Why no 2 years of DLC? Because DA:2 happen? That is what a BioWare rep actually stated. I just cannot believe such a great game ends like this.

[caffeine_fiend]

This was an unbelievably bad DLC. It was equilavalent to the tv show Lost. A plot-hole driven nonsense "mystery" where even the writers don't have a clue what is going on, because they haven't made their own minds up where the story's going. Not only does this DLC not add anything to the orginal story, it takes something away from it. If I could have my money back,  at the cost of having my memory erased of this experience, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. It would be a double blessing and a win-win situation. This DLC is the definition of "filler" in every sense and is just a poorly disquised sham "cliffhanger" a.k.a advertisement for DA2. I haven't had a game make me seriously angry since I was a child, but this one REALLY succeded in doing that, because the only thing that stinks worse than this DLC is the smell of shallow greed of the producers of this DLC.  THIS DLC WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A CON TO GET YOUR MONEY. There is ZERO care taken here over the player's experience or sense of value for money and no quality control to speak of.  I wish all the major game review sites could have the gonads to be brutally honest in their reviews and review scores  and score this game lower than average rating of medicore that this DLC achieved, since the majority of players feel that it's not worthy of even that. I would love to see game review sites begin to consider the players who actually buy the games and stop being "less sensitive" and fearful of "upsetting" developers such as BioWare and other developers in regards to such cash grabbing attempts as this slapped-together, horrible, bromidic DLC. The two things that made Dragon Age Origins a great game were its story and the personal connections you felt as a player towards the characters in the story. The only thing I felt at the end of WITCH HUNT was a burning desire to never buy another BioWare game. Instead of WITCH HUNT this DLC should have been called CASH HUNT. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................

Thanks for breaking down the total cost!

Stone Prisoner was a free promotional offer for me and I did not get Darkspawn Chronicles, so my DLC's only cost $65 for a total of $105. I've played through the game 20+ times now and I'm averaging 120 hrs for Origins and all DLC's. I thoroughly enjoy the game - haven't played anything else since I started in Feb 2010.

What is the cost of $5 or $7 once a month? I spend half that much on coffee everyday.

[Armasil]

Well-spent money to me.

[SonRyu]

You know what makes me truly, truly sad. I have a poll stating out of 41 people, 57% actually liked this game. Were we playing the same thing?!



The only thing I enjoyed about it was the Circle, it was actually new and unique. The rest of it was a flat out failure

Why does it make you sad that 57% of people don't hold the same opinion as you do? Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's bad nor that others shouldn't like it.

[Well]

On a scale of 1-10 I give it a minus 3.I decided to hold off on preordering DA2 mainly because of Awakening and what I have heard put out by Bio on it.Dragon Age was creative and well deserved high praise.Since then they seem lackluster.As far as the DA side.Oh well.

[Naugi]

Seems redundant to state that this was a huge dissapointment when so many have already said so, but it was.



I really like to feel immersed in a story, and to be honest when I reached Morrigan I was so excited at the prospect of the promised conclusion of my wardens story and the answers to come ... and then it all went horribly wrong. Morrigan began to completely rewrite history and talk nonsense about our past. Completely baffled I stopped playing and searched the web and ended up reading through pages of complaints from angry players about this bug. I then had to track down the 1.1 patch and spend 2 hours downloading it before I could continue the story ... well obviously by then the moment was lost, the immersion broken and instead of feeling happy and satisfied I felt frustrated, cheated and annoyed.



For real fans of roleplaying games with good storylines this DLC was a great way to completely destroy the Dragon Age experience and leave a very bad taste in the mouth. I loved everything to do with DA:O before this and have every single DLC, but WH was honestly the worst possible thing you could have done to Dragon Age.

And not only because of bugs or length. But because we were told for 2 years, we were told the story of our Warden would go on, and that pledge was broken.

This.

[Mordechaisiz]

I agree with Shazzie. From what ive read on here... i cant say that i actually want to purchase this. Though i know Bioware doesnt give a rats butt about my little bit of money..considering the thousands who will continue to buy the products whether theyre awesome or they suck. The thing is they had something perfect, and they left it to work on DA2. They rushed the DLC to close the story for the warden..and from what ive read..to advertise for DA2. If it was just to advertise... why not just make it a free dlc. We pay you to advertise YOUR product to us... well thats a first. Angryface@u Biowarez

I liked witch-hunt. It gave me more to think about *BIG SMILE*

[XFemShepX]

I'm still waiting for that console patch. I wish you guys would've taken longer to review the crap DLC you put out, instead of making me wait for you to fix it up.

[Onix Sunstone]

OMG how can you make a patch for a few dialoge choice fixes into a 900meg download ? Must be the same skill they used to miss the major bug in one of there smallest & most important moments.

Bioware did not create a patch.  They re-coded and recompiled the DLC; that's why it is called version 1.1.  They changed more than just dialogue.  The code had to be modified to recognize the Dark Ritual flag from the player save file as well as the section that creates the end game save file for Witch Hunt.  The code changes were too extensive to be packaged as a simple patch.

hehe yea I new it was whole thing but still its nonsence, the textures didnt change, the landmass didnt change the sound files didnt change at best some got added.

Still does seem fixed & I used a save game from v1 so a bit risky maybe but seemed ok Morri opened with a more apt attitude to a LI, only thing I did notice was the "why betray me" option as a dialoge but maybe thats just a choice tho imo she never did in my game.

[Zy-El]

Yeah, I got that "why did you betray me" option and thought it should have been "why did you have to leave me?" Really . . . I don't know why she could not have stayed with the Warden.

Unless it had something to do with keeping the baby away from the darkspawn taint within the Warden. And, of course, once the baby was born and away from the Warden, it would be okay for Morrigan to be in the Warden's presence again.

.AWAKENING ( cost US$30)  Released: March 16, 2010

Original cost of Dragon Age: Origins (cost US$40)
Cost of 1 expansion and 9 dlc's (cost US $85)

Awakening was retailed at $39.99

Probably cheaper at most stores now but it wasn't much cheaper than the full game which was $42-$49 depending on where you ordered from.

You are making blatant assumptions. On this forum the majority of people did like Dragon Age. Out of the 9-10 friends I have that own the game: 6 of them thought it was amazing, 2 thought it was alright, 1 didn't like it. The guy that didn't like it does nothing but play video-games every spare moment he gets, and is much more an FPS guy (well, he is a powergamer, he doesn't take to role-playing that well, even in his pen&paper RP games he power-games, which is sometimes unsettling). That is no where near an accurate pool of data, but it is the trend that I have seen, where the majority like it, and a few don't like it, and for those few it is mostly just because of the combat. They often say if the combat was re-done then they would play the game in a heartbeat. Needless to say, the "meh's" and "didn't like" people seem to be eagerly waiting for DA2.

There are only two things I have seen a majority of complaints about, and that was Awakening expansion, and witch hunt. But in terms of the original Origins game, most people seem to have loved it. Coming on here with vitriol comments for those that don't agree with you is rather silly.

SonRyu is referring to the Witch Hunt DLC. As is evidenced in his
posts on this thread, he is a fellow fan of DA, but like many DA
fans, he is not a fan of the Witch Hunt DLC. The poll he is referring
to is this one....
http://social.bioware.com/poll.php?user=1282162&poll_id=11167   I happen to share SonRyu's opinion about Witch Hunt and like him
I'm a huge fan of DA. I started playing video games in high school in
the 1970's, when they originally came out, and I've been playing them
in my spare time ever since. I'm a published fantasy author and even
though that doesn't make my opiinion any greater or less than any
body else's opinion of this DLC it is my opinion. Every story has a
beginning, a middle and an end. Every great story has characters who
you grow to love or hate. My feeling is that this DLC destroyed the
DA story not only because it was unpolished and insubstantial, but
because it plodded through the final chapter of a great story like a
sway-backed horse plodding through a muddy field on its way to the
glue factory just to die a mile short of its destination. Witch
Hunt's complete lake of  catharsis took away from the great storyline of DA. Like I said everyone has an
opinion and this is mine. However everyone's opinion should be
respected, whether or not they're contrary to your own.
