Yeah, I don't get it either. It's basically another zone you're unlocking and the advisers don't have any role in those in the main game. Why would this or the Frostback Basin be different?

People really will find anything to complain about. I told you guys this would happen. lol.

In the main game the advisers have roles in all of the crit-path missions; they're all there for the Halamshiral Ball, Leliana's there for In Hushed Whispers, Cullen's at Adamant, Cullen and Josie are both in the Arbor Wilds, etc., and they have at least one War Table cinematic for every major mission. I don't think it would have been that far off to have hoped that they'd have a similar scene at the start of JoH (or at least some new audio lines at the War Table instead of text only), and I still don't think it's that far off to hope that they might have similar involvement in Descent, especially given all the feedback BioWare has received about many fans being hungry for more content similar to the crit path.

As long as no one's yelling at the devs on twitter or breathing fire about EA dollar signs here, I don't think it's unreasonable for people whose favorite characters are advisors to be a little disappointed if their presence is text-only in Descent like it was in Hakkon.

(And that's my last post here today without a tweet in it, I promise... sorry :S)

Wasn't there word of more Leliana lines being recorded awhile back?  So we might get a scene like that.  If we're addressing tremors throughout southern Thedas, I would hope for a pre-mission scene discussing the scope of the problem between the advisers.

That could be for that other dlc BioWare totally isn't making right now involving a wolf.

... Unless it's something they're recorded for the next DLC

or it's more MP voice over intro to a mission or something.

That would be my guess. I'm having a hard time imagining how more tavern songs might fit into a Deep Roads DLC myself, and they said that the vocalist who did the tavern songs was recording more.

It'd be funny if we run into Sandal and Bohan down there in this DLC, especially since Sandal's VA teased something a few months back

[Dancing_Dolphin]

Oooo, this dlc gives me an excuse to roll a dwarf quizzy. Yay!

Fab! And thanks for the "really soon" answer last week. Is there an optimum level for starting The Descent? #DAI

 

Mark Darrah ‏@BioMarkDarrah

yes but I don't remember the best range. @Mike_Laidlaw ? the upper end covers post game

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

It gets tougher as you go further. Starting area scaled down to 12ish minimum, I recall.

 

User

So if I'm lvl 27 atm. The Darkspawn is going to be the same lvl as I am at the beginning right?

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

Unlikely to be that high at the start. Will scale higher as you descend.

[Hrungr]

User

How's loot scaling? Do uniques that stay at a certain level? Or a point in the game when you'd get more "bang for your buck"?

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

Loot does not scale. There is a wide range of gear to be found. Further down, higher level foes and loot.

 

User

So essentially it encourages you to come back later if you can't clear it initially?

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

Yup.

Wonder if the upper level cap will be raised?

Good question... I just fired off a tweet.

[Apollexander]

Something relative to the part-figures which Mike and Mark revealed was leaked. You can read the post in the MP subforum.

@User Glad you are excited. The Descent will be $14.99.

[devSin]

Having more DLC means there's still a chance for the ghoulies to come back. Hopefully the survey DLC (they showed up alongside a qunari plot last time, after all).

Make it happen, Mike!
 

That would be my guess. I'm having a hard time imagining how more tavern songs might fit into a Deep Roads DLC myself, and they said that the vocalist who did the tavern songs was recording more.

It's also possible they just did them in bulk.

Thanks to the silly @dragonage interns, we know of two of them (one about Harding, and one about the elves). The elf song is probably for the post-game DLC from the survey, so it doesn't seem likely all five (if any) would be for this particular dungeon romp.

(I only watched the trailer once and couldn't quite tell, but it sounded like this one might have new music from Trevor.)

Really surprised those did indeed end up being about multiplayer. Kudos to the people who called it.

Survey DLC?

[Call Me Jord]

Survey DLC?

 

I think there was a survey with details leaked about Deep Roads/Qunari Invasion/Solas DLC.

 

I'll pm you a link, I don't want to post anything here and get into trouble

 

Edit: Fantastic price point, will be buying that day 0.

 

Providing my Rogue is finished by then, I'm enjoying the class so much that I don't want my Knight-Enchanter to be the first into the Deep Roads!

Muppet Camel Express@mel_f_lem: I should not have gone to work today, but I’m glad I did, if only for that one meeting…
Thank you @JasonTBarlow

Jason Barlow@JasonTBarlow: @mel_f_lem teamwork!!!

[devSin]

Survey DLC?

EA sent out a marketing survey that revealed details of the final DLC (which also lets us know there really isn't going to be an expansion, since the DLC described itself as the Inquisitor's final adventure, taking place after the events of the main game).

You can find copies of it floating around. It was a couple months back IIRC.

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

One near element about The Descent is that much of it was developed in Austin’s Bioware office.

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

Our first real outing teamed up directly with folks like @hallhood and @CourtneyWoods, who did much of the writing.

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

They also did a ton of work on the Darkspawn, teamed up with our combat crew here in Edmonton. Really glad to collaborate!

Meet the Kal Sharok dwarves!

Spoiler

This only added to my doubt of the official year of Kal-Sharok's "rediscovery" as declared by the Assembly of Orzammar. I didn't mention this to my host. As curious as I was, there was an undercurrent I found unsettling. I must stress that he and his helpers were professional and honest throughout. But there was something I can't describe. While he remained hooded, he looked me square in the eye when our deal was struck, unashamed.

I lived through a time of Blight. I've felt the gaze of a Grey Warden and seen the corruption of his prey. Why I remembered both in that moment, I still can't explain. - Source: http://dragonage.wik...with_Kal-Sharok
