I wonder if this DLC will damage your save game. In DAO if you play DLC with post-game save it will erase your final choices and basically screw the savegame to hell. What about this time? And info from developers?

I'm going to say one more thing in this thread, and I hope, hope, hope the devs will listen. What this game needs is an Act 4. The last three years. Clear up some issues, see where Hawke is hiding or living and bring Hawke into what I think would be a better cliffhanger than what we have.
Look, the world is about to go to war. But Act 3 rushed everything. Create an expansion, DLC, whatever, but you need a closing Act that settles everything in a more satisfying way and sets up the big things that have been foreshadowed .
And I like the game. But I'm just being constructive and real, here. I think a lot of people here would welcome that. I have faith in you, Bioware. The great thing about the age we live in is that you can make a solid game a great game by just creating a little more content. Will some fans complain about having to spend money? Probably. But people always complain about money. But from an artistic direction, and not a monetary one, you have a chance to redeem yourself. One more Act.

I'm always somewhat confused by this idea that Act 3 was rushed or didn't properly end things. It did. It just didn't end them in a manner that saw Hawke in a particularly good place. Yes, Hawke's missing. But the story arc that began in the prologue neatly concluded at the end of Act 3. That doesn't mean Hawke won't come back, but if he does, it will be for the start of a new story arc. Most likely the world-going-to-war thing. And that's the basis for a whole new game, not just a DLC.
The mages versus templars conflict was set up from the very beginning of DA2 with the introduction of Wesley. The entire game was building towards that final confrontation. That some people didn't see it coming doesn't mean the final conflict was rushed. And just because Hawke didn't save the day or defeat every enemy around him doesn't mean his story didn't conclude. It did. He's just not an ultimate hero. He's a (fairly) normal citizen swept up in events greater than his control. And part of doing a story like that means the ending can't be a glorious defeat of all opposing forces. That's just not the sort of game DA2 is.

Actually, Cassandra interrogates Varric three years after the Second Battle of Kikrwall (aka, the final battle), so we haven't gotten our ten years next. An expansion will likely cover the final three years before Hawke's dissapearance.

"Defeat an ancient evil" Wow, they're going all out on originality.
Better than insane mages and insane templars who are possessed by the spirit of idiocy. If the DLC is has a proactive Hawke, some meaningful choices, and a focus on the storyline, I'll be pleased.
Perhaps this ancient evil is an insane mage who, through an unfathomably evil magical experiment, manages to grow an equally insane templar out of his torso and then they fight for control for ages until you come around and get the exciting and morally difficult choice on which one of them you want to kill. And then the survivor turns on you anyway. And then a very confused stripper bursts out of a cake.

'fool me once, shame on you'
i'd very much like for this dlc to be good, but i'm not holding my breath, and i'm not buying it at release, if at all. forget the whole DA2 fiasco, i'm still bitter about witch hunt.

Mike Laidlaw stated here: http://social.biowar...ex/7697770&lf=8 that the next dlc is called Legacy and can be activated at any point in the story.
Thoughts? I for one would've prefered dlc that takes place after the end of DAII.
Update: Stolen from Sengoku no Maou's post on pg. 7

Is it "just" a story DLC? Bioware stated that it listened to feedback & applied it. So...does this go for this DLC's story exclusively or will this DLC include some core fixes/options etc. that a Patch cannot cover?

DA2 had final choices?

I don't think any of the DLC will explore the three years before Hawke's disappearance, since he either sided with the templars or the mages. If Hawke sided with the templars, he's not really in a position to off on adventures, and if he'd sided with the mages, he might be in a similiar position to the mages based on what Anders kept saying (at least to an apostate Hawke). I'm guessing the DLC will focus on the seven years before Hawke make the final decision in Kirkwall.

On the contrary. If Hawke went with the templars, the expansion could cover their years as Viscount, and it could cover their flight from Kirkwall if they sided with the mages.

At this point I don't trust Bioware too much with Dragon Age II to buy the DLC or any that has been released after launch I want reviews from what I am seeing so far its just a dungeon crawl no story that you seriously want us to pay for and I have a feeling the dungeons which some call innovation will just be the same old
I am going to wait till someone plays it and we get some reviews and no I don't trust any paid reviews

Noob question, because I couldn't be asked to read through the whole thread:
Is the DLC RE-USING existing textures/zones or is it new stuff?
