BioWare doesn't have a stake in the platform wars, I should think they would be more interested in not alienating fans from any platform.

However holding back the release to please the PS3 fans would alienate the users of other platforms. And that's overall larger amount.

(as would trying to hide such delay, since that's something bound to get out of the bag sooner or later)

The Architect and Conductor look like human Grey Wardens who decided to fore go dying at their Calling and instead let the change happen.

I thought of this also.  

Could this be Dumat the first Arch Demon?  Maybe the Grey Wardens didn't really kill him but Imprisoned him instead?  Is this creature older than the known Old Gods?   We have no idea how old the old gods where when the Maker imprisoned them.

I actually wonder why the Grey Wardens all wear clothing that looks the same. Can't they have different armor and robes?



I mean, it should be a strictly BYOS type of Order.



BYOS = Bring Your Own ****.

I always though they were. Not a fan of the uniforms myself.

On a sidenote, who's the fancy hair Warden? He intrigues me.

I'm sure after the blight that changed because people started realizing they were important and started giving them $$.

I imagine it's the same reason why armies use uniforms all over the world. So it's easier to tell whether the guy in question actually is part of your organization.

And please, I hope that our companions will all have additional lines...

Don't get your hopes up, no DLC has ever had every companion character return to record a few lines.

Um..this DLC is $9.99

There will ne more dialogue.

That's untrue in the case of DA:O DLC.  Remember Return to Ostagar?  If you brought Alistair & Wynne along you had just as many lines as the regular campaign.  I think Morrigan had a line or two in there too.

Warden's Keep & Stone Prisoner had all companion dialogue too; one particular scene between Avernus and Oghren in WK made me fall off my chair laughing.

For $10, I'm not holding my breath.
It better not be simply a Warden's Keep for DA2.

I still have a mental image of my Mahariel vehemently refusing the new uniform
"I am not wearing that..."
how is he meant to sneak around in bright blue and silver?

[Special_Agent_Goodwrench]

Oh, and here he is.



Who iz dis man, Bioware?

Anyways, I shall call him him Bartholomew Fancyhair for now.

[TEWR]

It would just be nice to see some variety in what they look like.



And is Stroud in this DLC? I made a joke pages back about him being part of it before I even knew about the trailer, but I think I saw him in the trailer

I put my Mahariel in the Sentinel Armor set and he looked like a badass. Never once took it off. He sleeps in it, eats in it, has sex in it. You name it, he does it.

Well it's not like every other organizated group in DA down to Fereldan Doglords didn't come sporting exactly same sets of clothes... Grey Wardens are actually quite extravagant here, they have robes *and* armours.

Never really noticed before, but the architect has an H.R. Giger-esque quality.

Agreed.  I think that's why I loved his character so much.  He was unsettling, but strangely sensible.  Until you read The Calling and realize he wants to kill the majority of people in Thedas. 

Anyway, love the the Architect and the Conducter looks more like a warrior "awakened" Darkspawn.  Whereas Architect was a mage.

[Gibb_Shepard]

I wonder if this is able to be accessed while Carver is in the Grey Wardens. I'd prefer to take him along, but not have to revert back to an Act 1 save.

[PARAGON87]

So do we know this boss character's name? I saw a couple of pages ago someone mentioned the name "The Conductor". Is this true?

Was just about to ask that myself. Where are you folks getting this "Conductor" name from?

[tmp7704]

Hmm checking out the trailer again it appears there's actually more than two Grey Warden armours -- there's robe for mages, heavy armour for warriors and a (new) in-between of sorts for the rogues by the looks of it. All three visible around the 0:30 mark.

My question is who decided "the harsh truth of the Hawke lineage"? Did Mike and David come up with it, even if they didn't directly work on the DLC, or is this something that was farmed out to an intern just so they could get their $10?

As for Mr. Irenicus Face... I'm not seeing a direct copy of the Architect. If anything, they're both derivatives of the abomination.

1) How long a DLC will this be, roughly?

Yeah. Most their DLC (even LotSB, that everybody gushes over for whatever reason) isn't that long, although they can pack some good gameplay in (although, I think that depends who the designers are; DLC more often gets done by the B and C teams, I think, not the A team that actually made the game, and it can really, really show IMO).

iakus wrote...

2) I see that you have your companions with you for this.  Is there any dialogue with them?  Let's face it, companion interaction was one of DA2's major redeeming features.

I was going to ask if they could nudge Fernando to give a cast list. I doubt there would be much dialogue because of the need to get all the VO lined up (my guess it'll just be Nick/Lady Hawke and whatever actor for the antagonist they get from their very small pool of actors they use over and over and over).

iakus wrote...

4) Is this a standalone adventure, or does it tie in to anything going on in Kirkwall?  Will Cassandra question Varric about it?

I think, tying in to #2, it's unlikely anybody in the game will respond. They don't lightly modify the base campaign (not even to fix it), and they'd have to get the actors back and record them the same way (the last thing you want is different quality or volume or whatever with the drop-in parts, how cheap) and then script it into the game.

Worst DLC ever. Ever.

Bring Down the Sky was a triumph compared to that stain. That it could have anything in common is why my first question is who came up with the concept of what Hawke's Lineage: The Real Honest Harsh Truth is going to be.

I don't think it would alienate users from any platforms if they handled it gracefully.

Well, you can see how the PS owners in this very thread are upset that they have to wait longer to get the DLC. Why do you think users of any other platform wouldn't be just as upset if they were told the same thing, that they have to wait longer to get the DLC? I really can't think of any way how they could 'handle it gracefully' --  pople simply don't like to wait, no matter the reasons you offer them.

The new warrior-exclusive weapon is a two-handed sword?

Seems like there's no love for sword 'n shield users anymore...

[Tyrium]

is there a trailer? do we have a link? I'm excited for this one!
