@Boost32: Yeah, that's what I mean, thanks. We have a lot on our plate as it is, and while there shouldn't be a particular reason to go out and personally do some good deeds, I really crave that sense of having a personal connection, a personal stake. Especially after the disappointment that was the vaunted "rivalry" with Corypheus, which didn't actually exist because he is such a non-entity outside of IYHSB.

To put it like this, yes its worth it BUT.....

Give what has happened with bioware dropping last gen support and force people to buy the game one more time and even worse a new console then I would not under any circumstances recommened anyone to buy it. Youtube it instead.

It starts off fairly strong but takes a bit of a nosedive. As the inquisitor actually says at the end 'I'm leaving with more questions than answers'. Two interesting factions/beings are revealed yet we learn almost nothing about them beyond...they're there. Companion interaction is almost non-existent and there's tons of combat with enemies that have obscene amounts of health/barriers. It wasn't really my cup of tea, not for £12.

 

On the plus side, I really don't see them having in ALL the companion voice actors in the recording booth for a few measly lines in JoH/Descent and given that there were five bard songs recorded that have yet to appear in a DLC and Bioware Austin made Descent, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a huge story/companion heavy DLC coming from Bioware Edmonton that's been cooking for a good while.

 

Edited to also add that the player dialogue in Descent was very bland and neutral, from what I experienced.

For me, the only real points of interest are: can I interact with my companions, and is there any sense of personal involvement in the story? Apparently the answer to #1 is a resounding no. What about #2? Is there a reason why the Inquisitor gets involved, or are we just the closest convenient errand girl/boy? I dislike impersonal "sightseeing tours" and writers waving more questions than answers in my face with the expectation that I care enough to wait for years for the resolution. I also couldn't care less about loot on general principle, and the combat in this game isn't what I call enjoyable so that's no priority either.

 

 

The earthquakes are destroying several Lyrium mines, its affecting the Orzammar trade with the surface and since the Inquisition is one of their customer and no one else is answering the call, its make sense for the Inquisition to be involved.
But it doesn't v make sense for the Inquisitor to be involved instead of a army.

 

Well, this is two pronged. From a player perspective, people question why send the Inquisitor instead of the Grey Wardens or the HoF. This gets answered in both the war table description (Inquisition needs the lyrium for the mages/templars they're housing) and in the introductory conversation with the Shaper Valta: "Why call for us?" It gets explained that if the lyrium trade collapses, the economical devastation is global which will result in chaos above and below. We are already going to the Winter Ball and dancing with other people and picking a ruler to keep things stable instead of letting things become chaotic. This is the same concept. The Inquisitor needs to control the battlefield. The other prong is from a writing perspective that gets revealed later on in the story -- suffice it to say that the earthquakes are related to the breach. So it's still relevant instead of being a DLC from the left field.

 

Some say that the ending creates more questions than answers, and that may be true, but I also saw it as setting the stage for future games -- the information is moving the franchise forward. This is still akin to ME's Leviathan where you learn a big secret in the end, but it cannot directly impact the ending since it's a DLC. The rest of the game has to stand-alone without it.

 

No harm in watching the DLC on youtube though. If you like what you see, you can always buy it later.
