Meh, most likely won't be playing this. However, I think I might check the story parts through Youtube.

Now when Legacy is done, could you bury DA2 and please, oh pelase, move to Dragon Age 3 and make it awesome again? :P


Lol.

That is all.

Shhh! Allow the fools a few minutes of hope!

...Yeah, we all want DA2 saved. In my imagination right now, Legacy is this huge Awakening-Esque 15+ hour adventure with fantastic writing, unique locales, and where my choices will actually matter.

It's not going to happen. But right now, with THAT trailer, I can dream...

Sorry, but given the game isn't great, I'm not paying the price for this DLC.
Also, the demo looked a bit rubbish to be honest - "look we've given something an oversized shield" is not a selling point, and I fail to see how it was "using it's environment" the devs placed it there, the AI didn't decide to set an ambush - very disingenuous.
Lastly, having to use "new locations" so prominantly as a selling point for the DLC is a sad indichtment.

I'm glad they changed the Genlocks, I mean, the whole idea of an army of Genlock's being able to defeat the dwarves on their own was just stupid since they had no ogres of hurlocks at the time...

So when you buy a $2 bottle of coke you expect it to last 2 hours?

How is that different to any other DLC ever released by either BioWare or any other company?

I'd reckon that Legacy will be a relatively short detour that is tangentially to the major narratives or characters. Sometimes, they will contain significant plot points, characters or content that were cut from the game due to time and budget restraints. Or, in the case of release day DLC, good ol' greed. But I have yet to see a DLC that overhauls either the gameplay or story of the main game while fixing it's flaws. I doubt I ever will.

You're expecting too much from a DLC.


I think that's the crucial point. Whether or not you actually enjoyed the gameplay will determine whether it's possible for the game to be 'saved' by DLC releases. As you say, it's outside the scope of DLC to overhaul the game itself.

The thing is, there are many of us who actually quite enjoyed the gameplay. For us, the main issue with DA2 was the pointless story and the recycled environments - it's one thing to enjoy blasting darkspawn and brigands to pieces with fireballs and death clouds, it's quite another to actually feel you're doing said blasting for a purpose rather than just marching through the same room 50 times while following a story that your character has nothing to do with.

Clearly, a DLC that pulls us out of that environment - or at least offers something of importance on the side - would at least make the experience better. But as someone who's already said, ideally this is the type of thing an Awakening-esque style expansion pack would do best.

I mean, look at what Mask of the Betrayer did for Neverwinter Nights 2. It can happen if the developer puts the effort in.

Obviously, I'm not going to pretend Legacy is going to match up to Mask of the Betrayer.... but DLCs could serve as a platform to give us a campaign worth playing, unlike DA2's main storyline.

That depends on where you buy the coke. I once got a large Dr Pepper with my burger king meal when I was in the States, and that took me nearly an hour to drink. You guys sure do like your sugar over there :P

Sad indictment of the original game, true. It's a positive sign for the DLC itself, though.

Wasn't the last time they charged this much was for Lair of the Shadow Broker? I didn't get the impression that 'sucked'.

Could any native English speaker write the subtitle down of the Official Trailer? pretty please >_<
I'm Japanese and can not catch many part of the movie.

Voice of Boss?
" (can't catch ) .. I smell blood in you."
 
Female Warden,
"Grey Warden has build this prison to contain one of the most powerful dark-spawn, (can't catch ) but even the best magic faded."

Another man,
"(after?) Two-thousand years, the magic holds... broken. But you hold the key to his death!"

Boss?
"If I can not leave with you, I will leave through you! I (can't catch )."

Said by others already but I'm gonna wait for a bit 'till after it's out just to hear other people's opinions and reviews of it before possibly buying it.

The main thing I want to know is how long this DLC is expected to last.

@ Lafiell:

Disembodied Man’s Voice (Possibly the powerful darkspawn?): You… are what held me. I smell the blood in you.

Random Woman(Possibly a Grey Warden?): The Grey Wardens built this prison to contain one of the most powerful Darkspawn we have ever encountered, but even the best magic fades.

Disembodied Man’s Voice: 2000 years the magic holds… broken… But you hold the key to his death!

Different Man’s Voice (Possibly the leader of kidnappers?): I swore we’d bring him Malcome Hawke’s blood

Disembodied Man’s Voice: If I cannot leave with you… I will leave through you!

Disembodied Man’s Voice: I seek the light!

It needs to be at least 5 hours of premium quality content (with NO RECYCLED AREAS) to restore their reputation.
