Hello,

 

I am planning to buy the three DLCs for Christmas and I was wondering when content of the DLC Trepasser is accessible?

Because from the trailer, it looks like an epilogue so I was curious to know if you can access to its content before the "end" of the game? (Cassandra/Vivienne/Lelianna leaving for Divine, Solas disparition, etc...)

 

Please, even if I know, I am posting in the spoiler section, I don't wish a very detailed answer about what Trepasser is actually about but only if you could play the story before the party to celebrate the defeat of Corrypheus where characters talks about their future/departures.

It's not possible. It doesn't appear on the War Table until after the final story quest.

 

To not spoil anything but still give a solid reason: It's the epilogue for the Inquisitor, happening two years after the defeat of the primary antagonist, while also setting scene for DA4 in the future.

It is an epilogue. Only available after you finish the game's story, and set 2 year after the big bad's death.

Trespasser only becomes available after you complete the main story of the game. Also, be sure you've done everything you want to and save before starting it, for once you start it the main game becomes unavailable.

Thank you all for your quick answers.

You should get Trespasser along with Jaws of Hakkon. Descent you can skip until it lowers in price. It's worth about $7 to me. But get it if you want to.

 

Trespasser's main quest is not available until after you beat Corypheus, but Trespasser's DLC also adds new abilities to the talents and spells immediately. Actually it adds variants. Like the upgrade for Winter's Grasp once only did collateral damage to surrounding enemies, and allies as well if friendly fire is on. Now there is an alternate upgrade for it that does more damage to the single target if it is already chilled or frozen. So get Trespasser now. That's really about the only good thing about it.

Definitely have to emphasize this. After the final credits roll you are taken back to the game menu with the most recent save you are allowed to load being the last one before the final cutscene of the game. So it is very much of an epilogue, "this is over" ending.

Be aware that Descent does impact Trespasser as I recall. It affects some dialogue and whether the Inquisitor figures out the big reveal at the end of the DLC.

The Inquisitor can figure that out by finding 4 difficult to find codex entries. I don't think the Descent has any effect on those.

I thought it did? Hmm ... It at least affects ambient dialogue I think.

There's at least one instance where having played the Descent gives the Inquisitor more information, but it's not related to the final reveal.

I quite liked Descent, it was a tightly made adventure with some beautiful environments. Not to mention the lore-shattering revelations in it. Play Hakkon first though, the flow of the post-game feels more natural as Descent is relatively short and linear so it flows into Trespasser more smoothly.

Others have sufficiently covered the main thrust of your question (it's very much an epilogue), but just so you know: having Trespasser installed before starting a game allows you to toggle trials when setting a custom difficulty. You can toggle these trials (game modifiers) on or off at any point in the game, but many of the trophies/achievements that come with Trespasser require you to have a given trial active from the beginning of the game or during specific parts of the game you may have already passed. 

 

Trespasser also updates or changes rewards for some missions, and introduces sigils (which are kind of like runes for armor, though much less useful, in that they give you a small benefit in some stat at the cost of somewhat substantial loss in some other stat). One nice thing about Trespasser is that if you have some trials active, you will eventually receive rewards, though the quality of these rewards ranges from pretty awesome (I love one of the weapons) to fairly useless. 

 

So while the story content cannot be played until after you have finished the main story (and is a point of no return), actually having the DLC can influence the whole rest of the game depending on how you choose to take advantage of the trials.

Jaws of Hakkon - Play late or post game. Focus is on open world.

 

Descent - Play late or post game. Focus is on dungeons.

 

Trespasser - POST-EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS IS THE END. Also adds changes throughout the game that may be good for your/future playthroughs.

 

 

The most clear order is something like: The Final Piece --> Completing all side content --> Ending --> Jaws of Hakkon --> The Descent --> Trespasser

 

But the first 2 DLCs allow some variety instead. But Trespasser is a point of no return. It takes place YEARS after everything else, whereas the first two DLCs, even if played post-game, take place only weeks to at most months after the ending.

I don't remember anything in Trespasser related to Descent directly. I mean, there's the mural in the Deep Roads, but that's kind of self-explanatory. Beating Descent first gives better insight though. Is there a difference in the Inquisitor's reaction to the mural depending on Descent being completed or not? I suppose I'll find out myself soon enough.

The Inquisitor makes a different comment about the mural depending on whether the Descent was completed or not.
