CrashToOverride: It's weird with all this DLC it seems every two weeks there is a new one. How is the Golem one? I think I am gonna pass on the Leliana's song one, she was never really a favorite character...Unless the bonus for the regular game is good. How is the Darkspawn DLC? So confused.

StingingVelvet: I have Ostaggar and it was pointless.

StingingVelvet: Leiliana is the best one, even if you never dug her. The narrative is strong and the music is new and it's just well produced. I also think it's a bit of insight into how DA2 will work with the spoken dialogue. The only issue with it really is it's only 3 hours, but that's average for all this DLC for better or worse.
The Darkspawn one is well known to be terrible, as is Ostaggar, I wouldn't bother with either. I have Ostaggar and it was pointless.
I bought the Golem one, people like it... it's combat focused... I haven't played it yet.

Namur: GoA it's a dungeon crawler for high level characters. As advertised, it's freaking hard. Great fun, no (real) story, a bit short.
DC is just a taste of what it could have been a very good expansion. I understand people having reservations about killing their companions and such, but i think a full expansion where you start out as a puny Vanguard in the Deep Roads and eventually fight your way out of there and become a Genearl would have been great fun. As it is the DLC is short and feels a bit pointless beyond giving you some insight about the 'other side'. One good thing about it - you get to kick Alistair's whinning ass ;)
Leliana's Song, to me, it's an epic fail in the story department. If you hadn't played DAO you would never guess that Leliana and Marjolaine were in a romantic relationship. If you can overlook that, and the retcon, it probably is the best DLC.
RtO is short, but it it does provide some sort of closure. Of all the darkspaw my party slaughterd in Thedas those that they wasted at Ostagar were the ones that gave me greater satisfaction. Same thing for the items you get to retrieve there, they're not just loot (depending on how you feel about the characters who've fallen at Ostagar). I enjoyed RtO and the only thing i dind't like was the Alistair/Wynne 'take me along' plugs.
All DLC's suffer from the same re-used areas bullshit.
In general i thought the items from the DLC's were good.

CrashToOverride: Thank you for the reviews. I really appreciate it. They rapid fired the DLC and it is easy to get kind of wary on which ones to buy. + Rep to you.
Also, I guess it's a good thing I use Alistair as my tank and Wynne as my healer xD

Namur: You're welcome.
Yes, it's easy to get a bit lost when it comes to the DLC. I've been getting it them as they're released and i still have mixed feelings about some of them. And yet, i can't wait to see what they did with Witch Hunt ;)
And yeah, if you end up getting RtO and if you have those two in your party you won't mind the plugs .

CrashToOverride: Witch Hunt? is that the new "Final" DLC announced? Do you know what the story is gonna be behind that?

Delixe: Morrigan is back link

CrashToOverride: She was one of my favorite party members.

CrashToOverride: My prediction, she kills the warden :P

Namur: Same here, i absolutely loved her as a character right from the get go (Claudia Black probably has something to do with that), but it never ceasses to amuse me how so many folks seem to hate her with a passion.
Yeah, that's a possibility. Or the Warden gets to 'kill' her.
In any case, since one of my male characters was romancing her, whatever happens i'm kinda hoping for a chance of a peaceful outcome.

CrashToOverride: Claudia Black is amazing! Also my male character is romancing her too so i hope she doesn't die, this game has a KNACK for making you care about the characters. (Except Alistairs whining). Well, A lot of people hate her cause a lot of people play good guys in these games, and she will not change nor accept the good side of things xD

Delixe: My current character which I will be importing hates her because it's a she and she refused Morrigan's offer so not only did Alistair sacrifice himself without me able to stop him but she sodded off before the final battle. Yeah that woman has appointment with Vigilance.

CrashToOverride: "Practical" doesn't apply to the good path in this game, the one thing I found annoying a little in this game, the "Good" path was really stereotypically good, and it seemed the "Bad" was the practical one.

Namur: Well. yes, if you're thinking in terms of isolated grand decisions and 'rewards' like say, the one at the Hospice with the Tevinter Mage, then practicality and the 'good' path seem to be very much on separate tracks.
Thing is, you're playing a Warden who'se only concern is, or should be, stopping the blight whatever it takes. I mean, take Duncan wasting Ser Jory. That doesn't fall in the 'good path' track does it ? It also doesn't fall on the 'evil path' one. Duncan did what he had to do, like you're told from the very beggining Grey Wardens do.
