I loved that they allowed us to purchase all those rare weapons, schematics, accesories etc., but I must admit I was a bit disappointed for a few things:

- high price for, well, everything;

- still no Superior Battlemaster Armor for me (as expected, since it can be found only with the "Short List" perk, but one can always hope!);

- companions are not allowed to come with you in the BE (I wanted a Varric-Xenon reunion!)

- no Thaddeus  :crying:

We need a BE story DLC. Let's finally find what Xenon is looking for and go relic hunting to fill the Emporium shelves! (Where do you think he gets this stuff?) Throw in a nice finder's fee...

And yes, I'm snarking and am not serious.

I didn't think any one would like the idea. It does have the makings for a good old fashion monty haul though.

Now I expect the screams of 'god no! Don't waste zots on that.'

:)

Someone would still consider it a fetch quest  ;), this little is certain.

Lol! Hey, people are calling for old school. What's more old school than a dungeon crawl with a obscene amount of loot?

Ah... Secret of the Silverblades... good times.

What did you expact? Its a free piece of DLC that lets you remodel your characters(which is great!) and gives you the chance to buy rare crafting materials(which is also great!).

It's a free minor piece of DLC that is very welcome. The nose of my inquisitor is too big. WAY too big, and it needs adjustment.

 

It particularly complements the Tinting Bench in the Undercroft

as it no longer requires high level stress to update your latest party's matching armor in Silk Brocade or your tint of choice...

High-level stress? Silk brocade is almost a 100% drop from any L8-15 Venatori spellbinder anywhere in the world. You can pretty much just poke your head outside and get a couple bolts whenever you need.

Now, plaideweave and other Tier 1 cloth can be much harder to come by. I sympathize with people who wanted to use those a lot for crafting or tinting.

The only thing that gets me about the Emporium is the pricing of items. Good thing getting more gold is pretty easy. I miss some of the random stuff in there, like the box of screams that always made a hilarious shriek when you passed by it.

As for crafting, I'm very glad for the dragon scale. Expensive but they're usually the thing I love to keep around for both making armor and shading them.

You are quite correct, I do however use rather a lot of Silk Brocade...

(and Hardened Gurn Hide, and Dragon Bone)  :D

so just because I can get it from venatori corpses,

doesn't mean it's not nice to buy some if I'm running short...

I had no idea making armor was such a huge deal to so many players! Equipment creation struck me as fairly straightforward when I played the game; take what you find and fuss it together. I was always well-suited as such.

There was no Andraste to fondle.  Boo.

 

But... I'm rather happy with my very expensive weapons and gear :)

I'm mad the BE doesn't have mats from Hakkon area. I like the green and the yellow cloth.

And if someone can complain about the lack of wimminz I can complain about the lack of appropriate hairstyles and codex entries. Even if it is free.

Eh it's understandable that they wouldn't put any Hakkon stuff in there since paid add-on n stuff.

Aren't the superb armor schematics from Hakkon?

I saw some superb schematics, but I don't think they're the same ones from JoH.  Don't you still only get one of 3 schematics for each class available for sale at the Avaar merchant?  The others still turn up as loot, and I think those were the ones in the BE.  I remember hoping for the cutaway coat look rather than the scaled tunic with the leather saddlebags.  I got the duster, but I liked the stats and didn't have to fight those Hakkonites for them.

I'm just glad I was able to buy that expensive dagger for Cole. My babe's gotta have the best! Everything else in there was useless.

I dunno. I was glad to get a decent bow schematic early.  I really like the model for the Grunsmann's bow, but I prefer to make a better one than the one sold at Bonny Sims' shop. It's nothing super impressive, but so far it's been rather handy.

 

Anyway, regarding Xenon again, I'm enjoying some of his commentary. In my last visit, he says that Venatori visitor came by, and he fed it to the monster under the floorboards.

Im sure everyone is going to defend the Black Emporium because it was free and you get what you pay for and Blah Blah Blah...

 

Its not even as good as it was in DA2. No funny Lore, very few dialogs, and they didnt even get back the original Voice actor! Just some guy doing a bad Joker impersonation.

 

Im happy to be able to buy the absurdly annoying to find random schematics and crafting materials but they could have added those anywhere.

 

Hells bells, i hope they add some free dlc to this free dlc, because I payed zero dollars and i still felt ripped off.

This post pretty much exemplifies the whining, ungrateful mass that is 80% of the Dragon Age "fanbase"

I can take or leave the lore, though having funny stuff to read is always good. I just miss the screaming box and to some extent Thaddeus, though it doesn't really do anything at all. The real star is the urchin. WHERE IS THE URCHIN? I REQUIRE THE SERVICES OF THE URCHIN.

 

Nicholas Boulton is still listed as the voice of Xenon in this game, however, so it is the same voice actor, though I'm sure the team's voice processing was just terribly inconsistent.

Did he have throat surgery or something?

 

Good lord man, go on Youtube and remind yourself of the voice you used.

 

Anyway as i said "Meh, its free!" isnt really enough to satisfy me. A lot of things are free, that doesn't mean they are golden.

 

I mean i downloaded it. Ill use it. Im glad i can buy the annoying to find things. But would it have killed them to put a silly statue with some silly journal entry?

 

(Or face codes so the Character editor is actually of use to me?)
