Okay so I know some people don't wanna be spoiled, but I would LOVED to be. Seriously, have there been any posts about what the cut scenes are? What the big mystery at the end is? Any new important information lore wise? I just wanna know. I still plan on getting it and playing myself, but I wanna know now.

Your profile pic is amazing!!!
Gonna stream Hakkon some more in a few minutes assuming it all goes according to plan. Top of the hour probably.
MESSAGE POPULAIRE !
After reading various impressions my belief is that this was indeed cut content
Hi KillTheLastRomantic,
As one of the writers on the DLC, I wanted to say Jaws of Hakkon was created entirely after the team finished making Dragon Age: Inquisition. People can like it or not (I hope they do!) but I wanted to clear that misconception.
Thanks,

Actually, I think any Bioware employee should definitely engage more with their customers..... Derailing a topic is way better than the utter silence we've had for a very long time... :S

Thanks for the insight.
I'm reminded of Mike's interview where he said that for DLC there were two camps: those who wanted more of what DAI was and those who wanted story-focused DLC, usually about certain characters. It sounds like this DLC was for the former camp. I'm not against that really, though I'd prefer DLC with more critical story content than exploration.
I guess in the end it just comes down to the pricing for me. I'd pay $5 for another DAI zone, but not $15.

Hi Sylv F,
Thanks for posting and thank you for your effort on the DLC! I haven't played yet but based on the reviews this comment actually causes me more concern. Like others, I was fine with it under the assumption that it got cut because then it makes sense that the DLC was in-line with the rest of the game regarding the large, open area with primarily fetch quests with only a secondary or tertiary emphasis on the story, plot and character development. However, since it was produced after the game came out, it seems like Bioware hasn't really taken fan feedback into account for DLC and future DA titles. Many people, myself included, felt the game went too far in a Skyrim direction at the expense of the solid story and character development that we love DA for. I realize you don't really have control of this as the writers don't set the overall agenda for the DLC, but I just wanted to pass this feedback along to the higher ups. Honestly I'm not even sure I'll buy it since it just seems to be more of the same regarding what we've seen in DA:I. I hope upcoming DLC is more plot-centric and adds to the story rather than just adding more content to the main campaign.

Thank you indeed for popping in and giving us insight !
Downloading it now.
Question is do I wait until I am played through DAO and DA2 and get to it in DAI? Or load up a DAI character I am finished with and play it. Hmmm

My bad, I forgot this was a praise forum and not a discussion forum.
No wait, you're just being a complete tool. Knock it off.
It's not a praise forum but it's not a complain about the same thing hundreds of times over forum.

I have just one question whose answer will determine whether I buy it or not. Is there a way to change your appearance now ?
Are there any new soundtracks for this DLC like new bard songs or music?

Only in the Black Emporium DLC which isn't out yet.

Very sums up my view. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that future single player DLC addresses what i consider to be the major issues with the game.
I read that Patch 6 included the black emporium, it just wasnt in 5 when they announced them at the same time...

could be BS but im curious...
I didn't mind the idea that it was a cut area finished post-release, it just seemed like the most logical reason to go that route for an initial DLC.
If it truly was developed entirely after release then I have to question the logic of putting all of that effort into making a new area when the major criticism of the game was the number of plot irrelevant side missions. I've heard several people say that they already thought there were too many areas.
Updating the game gave characters shiny hair for me. Anyone else got that?
EDIT: Apparently the shader now controls hair gel. Odd how that works after not having played the game for two months 
Are there any new soundtracks for this DLC like new bard songs or music?
No bard songs. There's no tavern in the dlc area. And music? Not really, I mean, it's just like the regular maps in DAI. You just hear the sound of your footsteps.

Appreciate you coming here and speaking with us, however brief, but... It took them 4 months to come up with... this?
Uh-huh...

My assumption (based on the philosphy of the DLC design being very similar to that of the original game and a few other factors) was that the area was planned and cut and perhaps part of the area/art assets etc were already built and got repurposed into a DLC (which is absolutely fair enough). Not that the whole DLC, or even the majority of it, were completed before the games release and held ransom. Regardless of my personal feelings on it's direction I didn't think any nefarious money grubbing had gone on. Thank you for your clarifications.
