I think it looks cool, but I kind of want some more Companions. I think the Darkspawn are used way to much in Dragon age and i think its time for some new Great threat. I also want some God damn Costume packs lol. I am sick of seeing my companions wear the sam thing for 10 damn years.

This was my thought from a previous post:

More linear maps, more ridiculous anime-styled hack-n-slash, and seeing how it's DLC, I doubt there would be any significant choice or consequence that will impact the game.

Cliched story about some trapped evil that is going to be unleashed, Fable III-styled weapon customization... the 'Pillar of Critical Chance'? Are you kidding me?

I can go on.

Honestly... if THIS is the best that the DA team can do than this franchise won't be going anywhere.

The DA team just doesn't understand who their core fans are and what drew them to DA in the first place.

The ENTIRE selling point of DA:O was being a "spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate"

Why would you then suddenly forget about that and start ****ing that it's not Dragon Age: Origins 2? Do you honestly believe that people bought DA just so they can see the franchise turn into the total opposite right after the sequel?

Honestly, just give Laidlaw another JE2 or use a different IP. I won't mind if Bioware go producing action games but don't go butchering promising franchise by turning 180 degrees with the sequel and not expect people to be downright pissed.

Agreed with Savber100, and honestly the way they're trying to make Hawke's lineage important (and Hawke him/herself important as a result) looks cheap and cliche'd, and force-fed into our mouths. I'm tired of Hawke. Give us the Warden again, or more feasibly, a new NON-HUMAN protagonist

Plus, is that the Architect? I know that's a stupid question, but when they mention original talking darkspawn, that's what I automatically assume. I seriously hope it isn't the Architect, because i don't want the choice to kill him retconned for those who picked that choice, and I want his story expanded in a sequel rather than small DLC.

Yep, unless I see good reviews, I'm definitely not getting this.

If you did a search you would find a post from a developer that said it was NOT the architect.

@Melca, I'd have no idea what words to search for since this was just announced today. I didn't see buzz about it anywhere else.

That said, I'm glad its not the Architect.

Doesn't change my opinion much, though. I'm definitely waiting for reviews, though due to my lack of finances, I'm sure I won't be getting it.

-Origins had no consequence in choices in any of the dlc(witch hunt an exception) so why would DA2 be any different, as far as linear maps...just shut it, alot games end up having alot of linear maps with a few different paths that end up as dead ends cant expect this as an mmorpg.
-cliched stories happen alot, i can see how just 1 game not having a cliched storyline will make you hate anything else otherwise
-name something more interesting and im pretty sure id hate the crap out of it too

honestly i see it going quite far, your just too blind on how DA2 was so horrible to you to see what it may make DA3 like, oh but wait, becaue you hate Da2 so much that you lost all hope for future titles, well, i feel sorry for you for being too picky and expecting DA2 to be exactly like Origins. on a dlc note(you not neccesarily targeted) but, people didnt even like most or any of Origins dlc so i dont see how it gonna change the fact that it is only a dlc(30 min tops) and will not even make most people play or even buy the dlc.

it's kinda funny that people talk about "cliched storyline" when the basic of dao were pretty much every high fantasy novel ever. and you know what? it didn't detract from it. let's come off that.

I should have clarified my view earlier. I agree with this post, as it wasn't whether DAO's story was original or not, but it was all in the delivery of said story, which I found to be original.

Since it's a DLC that can be played at any point during the main story I'm not impressed. I was hoping for something that would continue after the ending to tell what happened to Hawke and Co.

With that said, I probably won't buy the DLC until after user reviews.

What is the point of the final save??

I added the Exile Prince DLC and thought I could load the final save of my Rogue and play that DLC... but no.

All I can do is go to the Emporium with my party.

So what was the point to have a final save??

i dont see how thats a problem, i mean sure considering DA2's ending people want some answers and want it now, but how do you not like going to a different setting at any point in the game. waiting to play a great dlc after you have completed a game, would be annoying (granted some that have a save at the end dont have a problem) but some who play it multiple times would have to complete the story just to play the dlc everytime . at least Legacy you can change it up in every playthrough. but thats how i look at it, and you have your opinion

It's difficult to judge at this point even after having seen the trailer. My impression is that environment design will remain poor but, then again, a deserted prison doesn't lend itself to the kind of visual changes I'm looking for. There's also been some speculation about the gameplay length of the DLC. I've seen people posting it'll total two or so hours, I'd like confirmation of this if possible.

Bottom line is this: This DLC was pushed further in time to address some of the issues that have been discussed at length in these forums since DA2 was released. Which of those issues will it address? If it's indeed a two-hour long DLC, then I doubt it'll be able to successfully show it's taken feedback to heart. And if it doesn't, what does that mean for future DLC?

its weird that they decided to take that out where you can do any dlc in the end game save, it basically forces most people who hate the game to play it again just to try out the dlc

There was a message from the staff in one of the announcement threads that stated it would be longer than the typical Origins DLC length besides Awakening.

Obviously the playthrough length will change by playstyle and preference but I'd say you're probably going to average at least three hours on your first time through. If you're a true completion it'll be more, especially if I tell you there is an easter egg in it and you don't use the internet to cheat and look up how to get it :)

Aside from Exiled Prince, all other DLC is playable at any time in the game, including from the Post-Campaign save.

Honestly im not impressed the screens and also the video have poor detail on envirovment.. The manga inflence is still there.. The new design of genlock seems and hybrid by the troll caves of lord of the ring and a gorilla....

Just a nice suggestion for bioware.. Forget DA2 and make DA3 as a true sequel of the original game..
That will be much more appreciated...

Oh man. The internet has totally changed gaming. I came online to brag about finding a certain easter egg in Origins and the easter egg already had threads, wiki entries, youtube videos and its own fan page.

Anyway, hints about easter eggs in Legacy are good news. (But I refuse to speculate.)

Thatn would be the sort of thing they would do as the last DLC I presume. I too hope they do a DLC like that but I won't worry about it until they announce a final DLC.
