I paid money for that DLC. what a load of old tosh....There was more action in the golems DLC.

This was just boring and I thought there would be more inmteraction with morrigan. I WANT TO FIGHT FLEMETH NOW!!!! what bugs me more though was how bugged this DLC was. I just wished I could say when Morrigan sais you did not give the ritual - "Errrrr, Yes I did.....We made love all night long but I guess I was that bad you didn't remember.....but then again I suppose the baby you had, could be a nice reminder...derrrrrr - Now where is my child I want access rights; Or i will kill you Bitttccchhhhhh".

A while back, Bioware said they test, retest, and retest their products before release. This buggy DLC shows (to me) that they lied. How can they supposedly test things yet the products are released with easy-to-find bugs? And now they want fans help? Damn, Bioware. You're freaking lazy that you want fans to do your job for you.

You've already battled a god and at level 25 or lower at that, the archdemon remember? Yes you can make a big creepy monster, slap level 50 stats on him and make your pc fight it. But would it make any sense storywise? I think not.

edit: actually having the warden defeat an old god first and things like harvesters after and those being harder, is already pushing the boundaries of believable in my book. I'd have preferred it the other way around. After all what could possibly be more difficult to fight than a god?

Edit: my spelling sucks, corrected.


Well, the arch demon was not a pure god, in his own environment. The Arch Demon was a tainted dragon here on this plane in effect.

And not a very powerful god at that. As Old Gods go he put up a poor show. Had Cthulu turned up, things might have been more lively, 600 feet high of towering tentacle head...

There are many ways to make tales with high powered characters make sense, are enjoyable and appealing that go fay beyond simply "battling a big creepy creature with level 50 stats". It simply requires a good imagination and creative skill.

Finished Witch Hunt. It was cool, but after playing Lair of the Shadowbroker for ME2, I was totally underwhelmed with the "Epic conclusion to DAO." The ending seemed a little rushed and awkward, unlike the interaction with Liara.



It was better then Darkspawn Chronicles, though!

Maybe they outsourced their QA testing to India...:lol:

I finished it twice, and no bugs for me, although, the fact that i enter the mirror with morrigan at the end tells me that there is a connection between the dlc and the DA2.

You know, for all those people out there whining and complaining, pull your head's in!!!!!! If it wasn't for the likes of Bioware and other companies like them, you wouldn't have these games to play to begin with.

I mean seriously, grow up and be greatful for what you get.

The reason I come onto these forums is to see what updates/news there is and to see if any fixes are available, and all I get to read is complaining! I've never met so many people acting like two year olds throwing a tantrum in one place in all my life.

The fact that Bioware representatives are extremely active on this forum and apologetic about any bugs found would suggest that they do actually care about giving you quality goods. And you know what - LIFE ISN"T PERFECT, so why are you expecting a game to be 100% perfect?

Even with it's bugs, the game is brilliant, entertaining and very fulfilling. And you know what, if it crashes, just save your spot more often, it's not that hard, you press a few buttons and surprise, you haven't lost anything!!!!!


I like your idea ^_^
hope they will do it in that way

It's impossible to account for every bug in every single iteration of every game. If you are expecting such a thing, you are deluded and have no sense of reality.

I went back and redid the ending, this time choosing to go with Morrigan. Was it just me, or did I hear Journey playing on a jukebox as we went through the mirror?  :lol:

You were satisfied by the fake time limit limiting disclosure? Reasurred by her dire warnings and evil look as you walked through the mirror? You really think your Warden's playing happy families with Morrigan after making it clear that she is sacrificing herself to her either evil ambition or noble goal? She needs power and TIME remember - you think the baby is on the other side of the mirror, waiting to be breast-fed by Morrigan in limbo land when she's only just been able to open the portal?

This has been handled badly and is leaving people to make apparently vain wishes about a speculative DA3. To make the Morrigan vs Flemeth thing so big (it looks like they'll have us guessing which one of them is the Big Evil), and remove the Warden completely from that narrative? To give us ME2 Hawke and 'set us free'? And if they knew they'd upset fans why rub in the insult with the patronising lecture on change?

I think you're right - we won't play as the Warden again - it seems apparent that BW just don't like the Warden. I love the idea of a series of games set in Thedas, even each with a different feel or style and different characters - but expectations set in Origins have been spectacularly mishandled. The idea works in novels - just not in a game where you've been staring at your hero's backside for countless hours, innocently assuming a character-led sequel to your choices.

What makes this so annoying* - not teasing, which BW think we like - is the announced finality of the Warden story (as far as our decisions as the Warden go) and complete lack of ending - I agree with an earlier posting - killing the Warden outright would have been better.

A shoddy DLC which didn't provide on gameplay and didn't provide on story - either one or the other would have been some kind of acceptable.

* Edit - actually the most annoying thing could be the suspicion that Morrigan tells your Warden nothing because she signed a confidentiality agreement with Bioware for DA2.


Good points and although I found the DLC relatively enjoyable taken in isolation, it is true that this being touted as the wardens final quest ( ie, we never get to play the warden again ) makes little sense in light of what was presented at the ending.

Ie where Morrigan leaves me a special gift ( what gift ? ) and tells me its Flemeth I need to be hunting down.

Hunting I will never get to do apparently...( and doing it as Hawke, or another protagonist doesn't answer that satisfactorily ) Especially as you point out, bigging up the whole Flemeth/Morrigan/Child story arc so clearly, an arc in which the warden had so much influence and so much vested interest. Only then to remove the prime protagonist from that narrative for good, is a mistake.

Since there is no rational reason then given as to why the warden would just walk off and 'retire'. Simon Wiesenthal is told where the uber 'German' villain  is ( the N word apparently fails the auto censor on here, how odd ). No problem, he gives up looking and fades away.....

Its sucks big time that you won't be able to import the end of WH into DA2.


I didn't think it would. Supposedly DA2 takens place during, or close to, the Blight. The Gameinformer issue that features DA2 says, and I quote "While the Hero of Ferelden was rallying new allies against Teryn Loghain, a new legend was stirring in the doomed village of Lothering".

So, I take that to mean that this isn't really a sequel at all, but just an offshot of what I, at least, consider to be the main story. And that just pisses me off. I don'y care about some poorly named small fry from Lothering. I want the Grey Warden. You know, the HERO OF FERELDEN. That's where the main story should be. And it annoys me to NO end that BioWare is switching focus from OUR characters to some idiotic reject of their own devising. Fail.

DA2 is a story within a story. It's what was going on on the side while the MAIN hero, the Grey Warden, was battling the Blight. Another quote "Dragon Age II has a framer narrative, which means that the exploits of Hawke occured in the past, but are being retold in the present." Seriously, what the HELL? It's not even really a sequel then! If Morrigan is in it, I suppose it'll be a Morrigan who hasn't yet met the Grey Warden and who hasn't given birth to his child. Just plain BULL. It doesn't seem like DA2 will continue the story or answer any of the gaping holes that are currently in DA:O and frankly, I don't want it to, I don't want this Hawke loser taking the place of my Warden, but I AM furious with the direction BioWare has chosen to take with the series. If they do come out with DA3, and that game also isn't a continuation of the Grey Warden's story and the true purpose of Morrigan's child, I will be pissed beyond all belief.


You're going to be disappointed. The devs have said that the people are not the focus of the Dragon Age world, but the *world itself* is the main character. The Warden is a 'story within the story', *not* the main story.

They have stated this multiple times, and I love that this is the first series that will actually use this plan myself. As it stands, no one knows if the Warden will come back. While I was attached to my  mage, I'm in no way going to force Dragon Age t obe about him.


You don't know that. :)

Where or not Dragon Age is about one character or not isn't the point. The point is that too much was left unsaid. Too much was left unresolved. And it was things that concerned our Warden. It would just be poor form to leave things as they are with the Warden's story. If Flemeth is involved in future game it will most certainly involve the Warden and it just doesn't make sense not to have him return. The child is his, after all, and even if it's a female Warden, the child may not be hers, but she's still the one Morrigan turned to for help. I can't see Morrigan not wanting such a strong ally, and one she can trust, again.

That doesn't mean I want Dragon Age to be about the Warden. If anything, it was the Warden who allowed me to love Dragon Age as much as I do. He wasn't a premade character that came fully developed. He grew with the setting he was in.

And even if the Warden does not return, which would make me sad, I hope Hawke doesn't either. I think it'd be much better if, in future games, we were able to make our own characters again, with whatever race we choose. Warden or no Warden,

Well, at the very least, what reviews I've seen about this DLC are certainly affecting the purchasing power of Witch Hunt for the people who aren't die-hard fans of DA:O. I've been reading forums from other sites (just Google it). I'd say that there is a 90% disappointment rate, many sites marking this as a complete rip-off (not taking into account the bugs) and people responding predictively. As for myself, I expected more out of this DLC, but I suppose this could suffice if all the developers wanted to do was get the Warden's story over with so that they could focus on DA2.

I think, whilst excellent this DLC suffered for the same reason as Awakening did: the story they were trying to tell was to big for the format. The story of the Architect needed it's own game whilst the hunt for Morrigan needed to be an expansion.

Another great DLC from Biobug.

My warden had done the dark ritual, folks.

OK, DLC's for Origins are over.



I'm looking forward to Dragon Age 2, and i hope for a great and bug free game.

I hope Bioware reads this, and knows how angry I am with them. I willingly give them my money to conclude my warden's storyline, and I get another cliffhanger? Shame on you, Bioware. SHAME ON YOU!

*sigh* I know how you feel, I truly do.

But, let's look on the bright side! Our Warden might be back for the 3rd game! And even if he/she's not maybe we can play as his and Morrigan's child (or...Morrigan and Alastair's child? *shudders at that combination because it just sounds so very WRONG*). I hope that for the 3rd game, BioWare gets rid of this premade character nonsense. The reason I loved Dragon Age was because of my Warden, he was MINE. Hawke's not mine and I certainly don't want him.

Even if we don't get our Warden back (*sniffle* I hope we do though!) maybe we can make all new characters of our own. Oooh! Wouldn't it be neat if they made the Qunari a playable race? ^.^
