Well I have to say I'am pretty pissed about this dlc,but that was kinda expected since,you know,dragon age dlc kinda sucked(Shale was awesome,but that was because the character had awesome dialogue,not like zaeed/katsumi).As expected the dlc is fairly short,about 2 hours of gameplay,and extremely easy(way easier than the golem one).
Every single environements of the game are recycled,there is'nt a single one new of any sort.To this dlc defense,I don't care,but some people might,so it's worth mentionning.You basicly visit 4 environements,flemeth house,where you find you first companion,then you go the circle where you find you mage companion,as well as the enchantement drawf(forgot his name all ready).His father is alive btw,he is a merchant at Denerim by now.Then you go to the basement of the tower where you where with johan if you played the mage origin,nothing as change,but there is the most overpowered mage robe in the game there(I think you can import it btw).
Then you have to go to the Dalish cave of the dalish origin,to find the mirror.Then,you go to thaig cadash(not sure about the spelling),to find some elven artefacts(that just happen to be,you know,sealed under dwarf for no valuable reason).The your mage as a revelation and says "Hey i know where it is,it's in the Dragonbone Wastes,so let's go there".
Once you are there,you find cultist that are apparently doing the same kind of stuff that Kolgrim did,you kill them all(with no options of dialogues btw,and nothing explaining wtf are they doing here),and then you figth the new creature from the tailer(a very very easy boss btw).
Then you find Morrigan standing behing where the mother was(at least,you don't have to do the dungeon before that room),and you have you last cutscene.
Just to make sure everyone knows,I broke with her when she started annoying me with "love is a weakness blablablabla" and went with Leliana after that,so I was'nt sure how she will react seeing me.
From there you can do :
1)ask questions=>No answers at all.She says you son if safe(of course he is),she can't tell you what she is doing with it altought she acknowledge you as his father(yes it's a male btw),but she is preparing him for something big apparently.You also have a persuade option to convince her to answer you,but it does'nt change anything,she just says the same stuff.
2)Tell her that you did not wanted things to end this way => it's basicly you way of telling her that you still love her,and that you want to back with her.From there,you have two options,either you follow her,either you stay here(despite being in love with her).At this point a cutscene occurs and you kiss her,regardless of following her or not.If you don't follow her,then you get the book you companions came for(I'am not sure why any one should care about that,but okay).Btw you can tell her she betrayed you,but it does'nt make any sense since she did'nt,so I really don't see the point of that.
3)You can kill her.You character execute her,and I have to say,both characters looked really sad in this scene.I don't know how did they manage to make dragon age engine do emotional faces,but they did in this scene.How,and the you get the book as well.
In conclusion,don't buy it,watch the ending on youtube.

I guess most people are pissed off at that buggy ending, which im sure would be a huge slap in the face, especially for morrigan lovers like me.
One other disappointment is that lack of answers......I thought this DLC would answer our biggest questions, but it just keeps piling it up with more questions and no answers. Ugh, and we all know this is the last DLC for Dragon age origins.
Guess I just can't get enough of Morrigan......no matter what they do, i always want to know more T_T

@Saibh @TJPags With the horrible impersonation of Sandal + the pretty crappy quest-line I wouldn't have been surprised if this was just a mod instead of Biowares official product.
Bioware dropped the ball big time for this DLC, especially with all the expectations that came with it. "Your Wardens Last Adventure!!". I understand why gamespot gave it a bad review.
Another lazy lazy thing: Your origin doesn't really matter, you're just Warden Commander to everyone. Remember this thing called Dragon Age ORIGINS Bioware???? Ugh.
Agreed, Lazy start to finish.
Hell, they couldn;t even remember my dog's name!!!!!!!
They hyped this as the conclusion to what was, really, a damn good game. And this is how they finish it?
What a serious lack of effort.
QFT
On laziness: Seriously, Bioware, you couldn't even give us a few paragraphs of text to tie up the many many loose ends/cliffhangers you left us with? The Wardens adventure ends with Morrigan having an amnesiac fit. Thats how this epic tale ended for me.
I think our problem is we thought they would bring their A-game and our expectations went too high.
I might have settled for their B-game . . .or maybe even the C-game.
This was just a bad imitation of a game.
A few minor fixes that would have changed everything for me:
1. Morrigan remembers the DR (patch this bioware, for chrissakes)
2. NPCs + Morrigan remember who you are/make a reference to your origins or the choices you made
3. Proper epilogues [Like we got in Awakening + DA:O]
4. Sandal having his proper voice (ok, not so important. but its quite annoying)
These would have bought my current 2/10 rating to at least a 5/10. Though I would still be disappointed with the overall mood of a DLC that was supposed to be your Wardens finale.

If you didn't do the ritual and she just left before the final battle then I can see why you might feel betrayed.Btw you can tell her she betrayed you,but it does'nt make any sense since she did'nt,so I really don't see the point of that.

On a side note, I want to know when David Gaider interviewed my husband because my husband IS Finn. Seriously, right down to the neurotic neatness, bug hating, and infinitely adorable personality.

I found that pretty puzzling. It's not like she doesn't tell you that's exactly what she'll do. Not that she really did. Except in this DLC, where she has apparently lost her freaking mind.Sarah1281 wrote...

Sounds biased to romance and DR ritual wardens.
What gets answered to US characters? With no god child her destiny theory is out of the window. I said this would happen ages back, either bioware pick or favour a canon ending for the future storyline or we never get closure on origins (Or Morry is wrong and the kid is useless)
What do you mean? The US characters are dead, so they obviously couldn't confront Morrigan about it, and for an Orlesian Warden the US didn't happen (For some stupid reason, as that would've been awesome), and he just continues as if the old Warden retired or something.
You can US without dieing technically. Point is if the kid is going to play a vital role in the series then they may well outright confirm DR as canon, or make Morry fail big time. Hence I ask what happens if you dont have the kid, does she go off breeding for an alternative 'destined' child? Or is the DLC just fan service and the series will ignore the whole 'problem of choice' in future?

Heh, that's even buggier than my ending where she decided that she was refused. They really have to do a better job with dealing with our choices. If these things aren't going to work, I'd rather answer some questions in a conversation at the beginning of the game than import. It's pretty weird when you're the consort of the king and you get know acknowledgement of that from the templar in charge of the tower. Finn, I can see--he's an acedemic who never leaves the tower. A Dalish wouldn't necessarily know, but a templar really should, especially one who's highly placed.
This. He says something about the last time you were at the tower - he knows exactly who you are - why can't anyone acknowledge it? I am queen dammit!

The DLC was a total ripoff money wise(expected with EA) especially with rehashing of old areas. However the 2 characters were pretty cool, and having your dog back was cool too.
Gotta admit i got really nostalgic and almost emotional seeing Morrigan again, but that all went out the window when the game totally bugged out with her saying i didn't perform the ritual, even though i did. Then after she left and pointed out the gifts.......we went over, picked up the book, the dog digged and boom credits........
Why was there no definitive answers or explanations when this is supposedly the end ?

Surely the fact that you know she's going to leave doesn't make it any less of a betrayal. In fact, she gives you maybe five minutes warning before up and leaving. That's about how long Alistair gets if you first accept Loghain's surrender until the ultimate decision and people still consider that a betrayal.errant_knight wrote...

Do you mean if you import a dead Warden? Then you didn't US in the AU you're playing, Loghain or Alistair did. You can't US without dying because that's what the US ending IS.You can US without dieing technically.

They haven't written it yet. Some dude is sitting in an office at Bioware with a dartboard covered in plot points trying to figure right now.dunachar wrote...

Overall, I liked the option of going with Morrigan the best. It keeps my relationship with her intact, and it's not like Arienne couldn't have just grabbed the book since it was right there. Plus, the Warden is done now, so it doesn't really matter if I have him leave Thedas for good. But then again, I was also in a relationship with Leliana, so I feel bad leaving her behind.
But, like other people, I'm disappointed. Having some closure with Morrigan was great, but it seemed way too concerned with leaving plot lines open for DA2 and couldn't deliver a definitive ending and there was no epilogue, which really should have been there since DA1 is now finished.

It drove me nuts in Awakenings when they would say something like "Well, you're a grey warden, you can do xyz." And I thought "I'm QUEEN! That's why I can do XYZ!" Esp with the doling out favors to the various nobles and stuff. It's just weird that they make your character queen but nobody bothers to react to the fact that YOU'RE ROYALTY.
Also, Sandal not having the same voice makes me a sad panda.

Other than the ending I did enjoy the DLC. Reused areas don't generally bother me because I have absolutely no sense of direction. If I've seen it before then there's a chance I might not get hopelessly turned around. I also want my own copy of "Does this Book Have Griffons in It".
As for Sandal, I just tell myself repeatedly that he has a cold. It almost works.
