I'm really enjoying it, I like how it doesn't feel nearly as linear as other maps which is a huge plus.

A ton of depth to it, but man that dragon is hard to kill failed on threatening. However i put most of the blame on the crappy melee targeting system. The hit box is as big as regular mob but its body takes up the entire screen. Doesnt make much sense and is just bad design overall/

The map is gorgeous and fun, be ware when playing as an Assassin though, you'll easily fall from edges using Flank Attack.

I've done dragon on threatening and perilous as archer with some pugs (mages mostly).
Map is large, way more enemies then on normal ones, wave 3 hardest probably.
As for the dragon. Typical SP dragon fight. Some adds, lots of flying around, huge hp pool. Dragon rarely use this wings waving type of aoe (and this attack is deadly). At the first phase of the fight and sometimes at the end.
And I've got Staff of the dragon from perilous run.

[Kinom001]

Yeah, that is most definitely a great map. Well done, BW. Well done.

Just watching them play it on twitch, it seems more like an SP environment (albeit more linear), kudos to Bioware.

I am on pc and don't have the castle map as option. DLC is downloaded, I have all three new characters. Is this a bug?

[Rolenka]

I tried it with two different groups on routine, which I can normally solo, and we died on part 2 and part 5. It's a little harder than threatening. Though it was demons both times, and we did not ring the gong. Still, I think I'll be avoiding it for some time, which is too bad because otherwise it is so well-done.

Obviously, there is the dragon breathing fire on you. But then additionally, all the encounters come in waves. Enemies are not just standing there, waiting for you to engage them. You come up to an encounter, start fighting, and several waves of enemies begin spawning around corners and coming after you. When it stops, you move on to the next one.

 

I guess it let Biower pack more enemies into a physically smaller map. It is beautiful and intricate, though. And the treasure rooms are off the beaten path.

Loads of enemy spawns too,speed running (altho possible) is not advisable, slow approach, clear out areas, keep an eye on your mini map, many times I have found we cleared a section and then another 20 red dots appear behind you,,  Managed a 45 Killstreak on routine with a lvl 5 Avvar, (granted I used Boon of the Spoon so had a decent weapon but still, personal best Killstreak)..

 

Really like the many different routes, ladders etc. you can use to flank enemies.

[JaneLunaC]

Since it's not so linear, the enemy archers have more places to hide,

not only do you have to watch out for before you, you have to watch out behind you and above your head

So many upstairs and alcoves that can be used for archers, makes it much harder

 

Still I like the challenge, and the map is way more interesting to play in

Plus sometimes having a dragon at the end,changes things up a bit and makes it more fun

 

Just hate it when you get toxic area and everyone's scattered (especially the person who's holding the torch),

that part's not so fun

First time playing ferelden castle and my game crashed. Off to a good start.

[scene_cachet]

New map is amazing. 

 

Need more like this. 

[Tec187]

Anyone have a link to a video of it?

Been looking on the tube throughout today and havent found a single one.

Would really like to see it.

[nibyl]

Second game no crash, third game crashed again. Biower pls.

[khelegond]

The dragon can only appear in this map, correct?

EDIT: stupid me, just read the FAQ. Thanks.

That and leaping shot with the archer/hunter!   

[Sulaco_7]

This map is too good.. it basically gives you the most XP out of all the maps - and from what I can tell, the difference is pretty significant.

 

I think this is going to cause imbalance.. where everyone is going to get funneled into this one map to grind for levels.  Casuals will wonder where everyone is.

[Robbiesan]

Agreed folks.  BW did a great job with the castle map.  Much of it being so open, with enemies spawning all over, you really have to be careful in some spots.  I played only routine yesterday to get the hang of the new characters, map, and dragon fight, and wow, there were a lot of wipes, especially on the last wave before the dragon: dem archers!! 

 

From this experience however I learned how awesome Isabela is.  My lowly level 1 had to clutch the last enemy waves, and thanks to HoK ring, awesome daggers, and using bits of the map for cover--managed to pull it off (49 KS), only to have the team wipe on the dragon.  hella fun though.

I shot myself into that hole in the stairs on wave 3 or 4 with fade step last night

[Beerfish]

Haven't had a chance to really explore as the few games I've played have been pretty frenetic.  Lots of areas to go that is for sure.

[Para9on So1dier]

Reminds me a lot of Fort Drakon from Origins, speaking of which would love to see that as a potential MP map in the future, alongside Kirkwall (starting from Lowtown and getting to the Gallows

[graythegeek]

I'm really enjoying this map, it's a real challenge with the sheer volume of enemies. Nice work by the team.

[Fearsome1]

How, when, and where does the Ferelden castle map appear? It is not one that I've found to select. I have crafted several Dragon's Calls, but thus far seem to have no impact. I've just been randomized into one of the three previous maps. I have Zither and was able to craft Sky Watcher as well.

 

Any help here would be appreciated.

There is a problem with this map compared to other maps.  Last night I tried to play about 8 games on perilous, every game during that span was set to castle and on about 7 of them I got the endless 'joining' screen in which you have to **** down your xbox totally as you cannot exit the game at all.

The Dragonslayer DLC is separate from the patch that they put out last week.  You have to download it individually on whatever platform you play on.
