I just finished Legacy, and seriously the DA team should make this their blueprint on how to make their DLC for now on, because this is the best of all DA DLC (including Origins), it had: a challenging, but not impossible fighting atmosphere and a lot of it, plenty of party banter, complete with fully voiced squadmates, new characters, new areas, secrets around every corner, mini-boss battles, puzzles, a hard-but-not-too-hard final boss and dialogue choices that actually meant you had to make an important choice you had to take through the rest of the game.

I'd rate it an 8.5/10, and if I had the choice of ranking it with all BioWare DLC, I would put it at #3 after Lair of the Shadow Broker and Bring Down the Sky.

EDIT: And BioWare, I can't wait for the expansion, and there better be one.

I really enjoyed the DLC. It's nice getting Hawke mixed in with the Wardens. I loved the lore as well.

[atheelogos]

we must have an expansion!

[devSin]

Yeah, but we also must have a patch. And we must have hi-res textures. And we must have more DLC.

And apparently BioWare must take a really, really long time to give us these things. I guess because they must.

It's already been like twice the amount of time they took to develop the whole of DA2, and we're on the first content DLC? The second patch? Hi-res textures for something released in prehistoric eras still aren't ready?

An expansion would only be worth it if it retroactively patched away some of the more jarring issues with the main game, like doing away with some waves and adding some more environment.

You realise thats exactly what they did with this dlc right? So an expansion would not go back to the way it was

[Renessa]

Oh, I would love a lengthy expansion (size of Awakening) to bring Hawke's story to a better conclusion.

Contrary to my Wardens, I don't feel that Hawke's Story had a proper ending. With almost all my Wardens I felt happy with the "ending". One married Alistair, one would start a Life of Adventure with Zevran and one went through the looking glass with Morrigan. They had accomplished their mission. It was easy to say good bye.

But poor old Hawke is more or less on the run. Even my Vicount Hawke just vanished. Why? Where? And you had a real cliff hanger at the end of DA2 with Leliana and Cassandra.

Now, I can understand that Hawke will probably not be the protagonist of DA3, as the focus is more on Thedas as a whole and how different characters influence the story of the continent, but there is no stopping them from bringing Hawke's story to an end in a good expansion.

After playing Legacy, I think it more possible than ever. Bioware just has to follow the now taken path, combining the advantages of DA2 and DAO (this is how Legacy felt for me) and they could produce a high quality expansion. I certainly would buy it.

Are you serious?

I am less than pleased with the amount of time it has taken them to patch the game, and release DLC. Its like the entire team had deserted and only Mike and David are left to work on it on their own. lol. With John helping out.

But really? Are you being facetious here? I cant tell.

If you are then okay. I agree.

If you arent then I can only say. Are you an idiot?
Its been FOUR months since the game was released, and the game was developed in around 13 months. On what planet is 4 double 13?

Thumbs down to another add-on/expansion. Legacy is good in many ways(and bad in others, although that's mostly DA2's fault), but Dragon Age 2 itself is still so bad that I don't want to finish the current character I made to play Legacy. I don't want anymore Dragon Age 2 add-ons. Bring on Dragon Age 3 or whatever the next game will be called.

[Ainmarh]

Oh yes; I loved Legacy, much more than I liked the DA2 itself. A full post-game expansion, please.

This would be great.

There's so much they can work with, as well.

[bleetman]

Given the amount of criticism (quite rightfully, I assume) aired about Dragon Age 2's rushed development time, complaining that their dlc took too long makes me sigh. So, what. It's fine, nay encouraged to take the time with development and really get it right, but God forbid if they take longer than the imagined, arbitrary time limit for what would be acceptable.

Make up your minds.

[Ginkeh]

+1 vote for more DLC and an expansion.

[Tony Dawg]

^++1 more

I dont think the problem is that they took too long. It think its more that the DLC is in actuallity supposedly between 2 and 3 hours long. A lot people have to be wondering what the heck the team have been doing that it took four months to develop a such a short DLC.
If you compare it to Fallout New Vegas for example.

F:NV has been out around 9 to 10 months-ish and Obsidian/Bethesda have turned out 3 DLC that are quite a bit longer, a bit more significant, in a world thats much harder to "sculpt" being that its a LOT more "open" than Dragon Age, and complete with companions and interaction and cutscenes and whatnot.
All three DLC have been fairly well recieved on the whole (they have flaws of course).

Obviously being different sorts of RPGs they cant be directly compared; but they can be compared in a more general sense. In a sense of Quality, Quantity, & DLC length versus length of time to develop, and cost of the DLC.
And with Bioware being a larger and "better" company than Obsidian and Bethesda are; its a bit of a shock that Bethesda of all companies are doing a better job in respect of DLC.

At least thats what has caused me to raise my eyebrows a bit.

Obviously I MUCH prefer them take too long to release something, than release it too quickly and have it be half assed. Thats usually Bethesda's job.

The DLC is a pleasant surprise after the disappoint Dragon Age 2 was for me, but it won't change what DA2 is.

The game failed on it's own, it'd be cheaper to just remake the game entirely than to waste time, money and resources towards trying to 'fix' it with DLC and expansion packs riding off the glory of Origins and famous plot-lines ripped off of by other famous games.

In other words, it isn't worth it. Concentrate on making DA3 everything DA2 WASN'T.

I think the majority of the DA team has been hard at work on DA3 and/or DA2 expansion (if there is one). I think dlc teams tend to be tiny in comparison to the full team. The story for Legacy as I recall one of the writers saying she wrote it on maternity leave awhile back.

I enjoyed this dlc due to the amount of banter/companion interaction mainly. And more lore...love that lore and puzzles!

Even tho I enjoyed Legacy I would prefer an expansion or just another game rather than more dlc. Just imho, many people love dlc no matter how long/short it is. Also if there is more dlc I prefer that it added to the main game. Seperate 1-3 hour mini-adventures don't really excite me enough to buy.

No they did not. They implemented those changes in the DLC they did not do it for the main game big difference. Same way the new specialisations and talents from DAA were not patched back in DAO when you installed the game.

Logic would dictate that the sales of post-release content would be a better indicator of how other post-release content might be received, as opposed to the sales of the base game.

So if more people buy the DLC than bought the game.................................

No.

How DLC sells, however, dictates how much mindshare the game still maintains. Initial sales of the game tell you how many people own the game, but it doesn't tell you how many are still looking for new experiences in that particular framework.

This comment makes me wnat to get Legacy but I don't have the cash at the moment. GF's birthday is coming up and I'm getting her ME1 and 2 as well as a code for the Kasumi DLC.

If you enjoyed DAO more than DA2 then I would advice for not to buy it. Basically the only change this dlc had was no more enemy waves and  new tunnels. Thats it.

Wut? 

Then I did not have the same dlc since in my Legacy version there were in average just as much banter/companion interaction than in DA2 which is not much. Also there was only one puzzle to be solved. I would call this dlc a disappointment, not worth the money invested though I did since I am a optimist when it comes to DA series(or was until now).
