Except that in Europe it costs 15,00 EUR = 16,46 USD
15,00 USD = 13,67 EUR
So we europeans are paying 3€ more just because.
 
If the DLC was any good then maybe, but it is not - for me it adds nothing to the game. More boring fetch quests, a short and predictable storyline, stupid Avvars + some dragon-god thingie i couldn´t care less about - a Skyrim rip off, as if that game wasn´t bad enough already, bioware wants now to copy it all over.

Nope; no prejudgments here....

Yes. The main story is stand alone, but it adds a lot of interesting layers to the story of the Inquisition and to Thedas in general. The banters are great. The Frostback Basin is probably the most beautiful environment they've done to date. New materials and schematics are nice along with more about Avvar history, and you get a few nice war table missions that deal with things that you've done in the main game.

 

Now what's this about Dorian's banter about a romance with Cullen??? That was the ONE thing that annoyed me, before, nobody in the party, while wandering ever gave me crap for it. So SPILL, blast it!

[ERINII]

I'm not very interested in the Avvar or the history of the Inquisition, so my first reaction to the DLC was meh. I will probably get it if the price drops, but for now, no.

I clocked in my Victory at around 11hrs on Nightmare - Gotta say. My usual, "Throw self at enemies, receive XP" ,route didn't work too hot this time around.

 

I had to get tactical, make sure all my people's gear was up to snuff, and often times it came down to clutch, last minute gameplay decisions. Surprised that I managed to nix both the bosses on the first try (Thanks to a last-minute revive using Dorian in his Spirit form, or my KE Focus ability.)

 

It gave me lots of laughs, some interesting lore, bad-arse new armour pieces, and some frustrating moments (Darn you archers!). In all honesty -- I'd get it.

 

Am I the only one who kinda wants an Avaar barbarian set of armor for that extra flavor?

The story itself isn't too bad. There are a lot of stuff to read in the codex from the dlc. I enjoyed learning about the previous Inquisitor

this is my problem, if i wish to do so i would have spent 15$ on a good book.

Does this DLC add any new scenes with your  LI?

I really hope the next DLC has some scenes at Skyhold. For a lot of reasons, but chief among them being the fact that the advisors weren't featured at all on JoH and took a back seat in the main game as well. I'd just like some cool conversations with my inner circle though, because there weren't enough of those (no direct ones in JoH either).

I thought it was okay. It improved my opinion of DA's Avaar considerably. Adding to their gravitas and their lore was a nice touch.  There is some puzzle solving in it (I hate puzzles, but that's my personal failing). Thankfully, someone had solved them for me on YouTube. I wish the DLC had introduced a new character, particularly since this is kind of post-game (over level 20), and while we met some people, a new NPC companion to take the place of those who disappear or go on to other jobs would have been nice.

 

It is a pretty area, and I liked the back story, but by level 20 (10 of them already conquered and after Skyrim) the final boss fight was a yawn (I'm just not scared of them any more, you know? What's one more frost breathing monster to kill?) I loved meeting a certain person, but that was over so quickly.  Was it worth $15.00? Considering going to a bad movie will cost you that much by the time you buy the ticket and the gas to get there, yeah, it was worth it, but it didn't engage me the way Legacy did.

Yeah, in the main game the three advisors had equal content to the companions. I'd hate for them to keep getting nothing in DLC.

Thank you... that is freaking hilarious. And I can just imagine how that might go...

Well, they got less content in the sense that they didn't get 5 hours total of banter. But yeah, really hoping the next DLC will feature Skyhold a lot. Leliana voiced the MP DLC trailer recently, so I'm hoping that means the advisors are/were in the booth!

You're welcome! I loved that banter too.

[DarthSideus2]

Well I'm about 8 hour in so far with a lvl 24 character on hard, and I am really enjoying this dlc. There are many challenging encounters, a lot of new high level gear and schematics, lots of good crafting materials and a decent story. IMO, if you are still playing the vanilla game, this dlc is definitely worth the purchase price.

 

Update: Just finished dlc and it was worth the $15 (the revanent and despair demon battles were awesome ). I had stopped playing DAI for the past few months but this new content will make me do a whole new run thru the whole game .

Missed a few stuff for one of the trophies, can be redone through another character, although I may not go back there for a while. My first impression sorta stands. The map is huge, beautiful, but sometimes it feels empty because it's a lot of exploring and backtracking. I'm disappointed there wasn't any way to actual talk to the Hakkonites or see their leader, judge them or whatever. Their role was basically being the villain of the day of the DLC and nothing else. I enjoyed the interactions with Sun-Hair's hold characters and some of the challenges of the DLC, but I feel that for a $14.99, it's honestly lacking that something extra that made me appreciate the former games. I would love to see more sides, more choices whenever there's a conflict. I want to be able to see a lively world, not just go from point A to point B and kill something just to unlock the next scene. It want my character to feel things and I want them to interact more with their surroundings and not just by solving video game puzzles. The companions had a few lines but again I was disappointed by their lack of personal "quests" or interactions in this DLC. Having different locations with spots you could bring certain companions after you get requests from them would've been interesting, just saying. More companion quests means more time to spend with our favorite characters and possibly more romances. The DLC wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best thing I played. It was slightly above average but less than good. I enjoyed Ameridan's story and the tidbits related to the first inquisition, however the rest felt empty to me. Storvaker's codex entry though was a nice reference to Mean Girls.

I just finished the DLC for the first time too!

Ultimately, I had a good time, though it took a while for me to climb over that sudden difficulty curve. I appreciated this in the end because it forced me to take a more tactical approach to combat and actually think about the builds I was using and needing to forge the proper equipment. Cold resistance is a must for this DLC!

 

I enjoyed the story a lot, mostly because I'm a lore fiend, though I feel the Hakkonites were under utilized. They seem to be the ultimate evil bad guys just because the DLC needed an antagonist. I would have enjoyed a little more interaction with them, even if it was only a few lines of dialog. I feel like that final battle in the fortress would have had more of an impact if I had actually gotten to know who I was actually fighting. 

 

But the DLC does a lot of things right, too. The equipment and schematics you can find here are fantastic, way better than anything I had been using up until that point. There were a couple of moments where I found some new weapon/armor schematics and basically said to everyone, "Wait here while I shunpo back to Skyhold to make this really quick." Because the enemies level up with you, by the end of the story I had made a fair amount of progress in terms of levels. I entered at level 20 and left being level 24. 

 

I really enjoyed Harding getting more screen time, because Bioware really didn't do enough with her in the main campaign. In this you really get a good feel for who she is as a character. Meeting the previous Inquisitor was a welcome treat too, he and my Reinard totally bro-ing it up for a few minutes. 

 

Despite minor nitpicks, I really did enjoy myself and don't regret spending the $15 on it. The amount of enjoyment I got exploring the new area was much more satisfying than I thought it would be, thought I'll admit I did get lost quite a few times trying to find my way up the mountains.

Noticed you said you went back to Skyhold a lot to make things. Did you miss the armor and weapon crafting stations in the major camps or at the Avvar hold?

 

I'm not being sarcastic here, just curious considering the situation.

I didn't see any stations for weapon and armor mods, and I need all the things when I get crafting.  So I also went back to Skyhold occasionally. 

[Wayning_Star]

yes and no, the game over all is the same, there isn't much of a change with that DLC. Fifteen bucks is just and only that. The add on is as crashy or worse than the main game as well. No settings will fix it so it's a save a lot game...(pun intended?) I'm amazed how much the thing reminds of / copies Mass Effect... even the dramatic music during the end game.

One of the camps had the stations on a platform above the main walkway. Can't remember the layout of the other one right now. The Avvar stations were right outside the store iirc.
