I'm talking about JoH, Descent and Trespaser.
I finished the main game and that is it.
To be honest, I just want Trespasser since that seems to extend the main storyline. The other two seem to be their own separate thing that is not really essential to the story. But if they do add a lot, then I may want to play those first before getting Trespasser. It's just that I don't really feel like spending the extra money and time unless they do add a lot.
Thoughts?
Thanks
If you like the stories connecting, Descent has some stuff that travels over to Trespasser.
Takes around $88 AUD to get, with the Game of the year costing $89.99 them down here with the exchange rate.
If you can hold off, hold off. They are fun. Jaws of Hakkon was enjoyable, not worth the full price, so I got it when it came cheap. The new ability is great if you are a ranged class. Deflects at the enemy for 20 seconds. Perfect for all the Archer swarms in Descent.
Descent, was a lot more fun. Saying it is worth full price is pushing it, but it was really enjoyable. The music is a lot better as well. Especially when reclaiming the thaig.
Trespasser adds a lot more Schematics, some very nice armor pieces, and some great weapons that basically make a lot of the base game gear redundant. Still need to use the prowler tailcoat if you want a crit build, but the Gryphon mail has almost as much utility so if you don't want to wear the tail coat, it works just as well. Again, not worth the full price if you ask me, but it was a great ending to the game.
You should wait for a sale. The GOTY edition was just released, it contains All of the DLC for only $10 more. Individually all the DLC cost $55, the GOTY which includes the digital deluxe game version is $60. I just finished JoH and loved it, and want the rest of them.
Might as well sell your copy and get the GOTY edition.

You can't sell a registered copy. Because that means to sell the whole account with whatever it's on it and that is against Origin's policies. Digital copies or registered games on services like Steam, UPlay or Origin can't be transfered to another party. You can refund the game for a certain time period if you can provide a valid reason for doing that, but you can't sell your registered copy to someone else. That's the bad part of the digital world...

Was the OP on a computer/digital?
Retail copies from EA are giving Origin codes. Origin is a requirement in order to play DA:I (retail and digital copy) and you HAVE to register the code in order to be able to play the game.

Doesn't matter. The activation code the OP used will not work for another install under a different Origin account. So buying a used (physical) copy of DAI is buying a shiny plastic coaster.

I feel as though there is some miscommunication here....
If it's a physical copy and not on PC, then none of that matters....
I can play a game on xbone and sell it, then go buy a used copy and it will work fine....
I do have to use the same Gamertag, otherwise yes, I do have to get a new Origin account
Buy JoH and Trespasser, skip Descent.
Ooh! But Descent has some awesome difficult fights!
So many Darkspawn!!!
Yes.
JoH and Descent are not important to DAI plot but are game changing to the lore of Thedas.
Definitely get Trespasser, it's the true ending to the game.
Personally, I liked JoH and Descent as well, even after I was expecting to hate them. I bought them the week before Trespasser came out, just so I would be up to date with everything before the finale and wouldn't miss anything.
I usually hate DLC, 5-10 hours just isn't enough to make me re-pick up an RPG I've already completed. It makes the plot feel weird and disjointed to me. I think playing all three together helped with that, as it was closer to an expansion pack's worth of content taken together.
JoH offers lore about the Avaar and old Inquisition, as well as a new area, abilities, Tier 4 schematics, War Table assignments, etc. Recommend playing it before the Vanilla conclusion.
Descent offers lore about Dwarven culture, a new craft materials shop, more Tier 4 items and schematics, and some challenging combat. While the last Boss fight could be better, the rest of the mod was quite entertaining.
Trespasser is an epilogue; lots of dialogue with the Companions that remain. As it is more focused on a single story, there are more cut-scenes, and less side content. It offers a final crafting station with a shop nearby with most of the crafting materials.
Recommend all three, and the vid reviews from BioFan.
"lore about the Avaar" - This is what almost made me not buy/play it. Let's keep the topic positive, talk about the good things of the DLCs and forget Avvar exist in this setting ok? Avvar are like a bad joke you are ashamed of ever telling.
Buy Trespasser for sure.
If / when you can get Descent (it feels like it will inform future games more than Jaws), then Jaws of Hakkon. Although JoH is the least important in terms of story content, it is also one of the coolest at expanding general lore. We learn a whole lot about the Avvar and their belief system (it is very unique and pretty cool, their gods actually exist, unlike the maker lol).
But Trespasser for sure, it is far and away the best DLC and directly informs the general plot moving forward.

I have no idea what you are saying, the Avvar are very interesting people, and probably the only humans in the setting who have a God that hasn't turned his back on them like a petulant child.
While I liked the other DLCs, I'd say that Trespasser is the only "must have" out of the lot.
I still will go with all three are amazing and unique!
JoH has a whole new area that, timeline wise, is best done after the Coryfish fight.
Descent is unique due to the lack of Deep Roads in the game and offers a good dungeon crawl 
(some tought fights)
Trespasser, is just a fantastic finisher for the game... you get to see many new aspects of the fade and about Fan'heril (sp?)

I'd rather see pictures of aborted fetus and starving human beings than remember Avvar exist in Thedas so I will just forget this topic too. Not masochist enough to visit it again.
Such a lovely person; a ray of sunshine in every post....
I recommend playing JoH before meeting Cory for gaining a little more insight into history and a small quip from Solace. If done this way, one may better integrate the War table assignments into the overall campaign. Also. take Dorian along for a bit of humor.
Yeah so do I love it when after the Inquisitor hears about the Hakkon god and asys something along the lines of "Another god that wanjts to destroy us.! can this wait until we've dealt with the current god that wants to destroy us." Have to say that's another line Alix delivers with excellence. Well that's what is said if you play it before defeating Corypheus anyway.
