This is my angry face.

I guess the most logical question is why? We already know the story of Leliana's journey into the chantry, she gives quite a lot of detail when recounting it during the main game. Why devote an entire DLC to something we already know is beyond me. While we're at it, why not devote an entire DLC to Ostogar and... oh.

I like the idea of taking control of a former party member as your character, but shouldn't we be focusing more on future events rather than the past? Dragon Age 2 is likely an inevitability at this point, why not some in-between stories like the sten's journey home? Bah, i say.

Question is easy to answer:

They got the story already. Only have to fill in a few gaps, expand and stretch a bit there and done. Overpriced DLC for little amount of work (although Bioware might surprise us).

So Corinne Kempa was telling the truth! More Leliana! <3

I don't even have Return to Ostagar. If I don't plan on getting now, and I'm in Ostagar for the first time, should I open up the mage's chest? I read on the wiki you can't get some kind of magic staff if you open it.

Hottest bisexual bard evar. Of course, I'm having a hard time thinking of any other bards, so I guess the competition isn't fierce.

Shame on Bioware. I played through DA:O three times in a row, bought RtO and WK and realized this once awesome company turned into a bunch of greedy bastards. So no DA:OA or any other cheap DLC either. As for ME2, I'll get it when it's on sale on Impulse or Steam.

Who publishes BioWare games again?

Exactly.

DA:OA was quite bland in my opinion, very meh. I think it was around the third or fourth major boss fight where I realized.. not a single character who i had met was likable or at all relate-able. Don't get me wrong they were quite interesting, but interesting does not transfer into likability. I didn't want to see any of those people live through the encounters we were going into, yet I was stuck with them at my side. There was one character who I found to be tolerable, and Bioware took quite the

route and killed her off. I was really disappointed. She may have been bland, but she was the only person I actually wanted to talk to. I uninstalled the game shortly after the 4th hour mark, and will likely never go back. IMHO you're not missing much.

Mass Effect 2 on the other hand, well, i detailed my thoughts on that months ago. Still play it to this day.

Agreed...but you missed Mass Effect 2 (or did you?). Was 40% off on Steam on Saturday.

I'll get it for 5€ on a christmas sale. Yeah I know, I plan way in advance :D That's how I got ME1 last christmas

**Double A** · 06-22-2010, 03:17

I should probably play ME1 again... I made the mistake of not being a vanguard on my first playthrough. Honestly all I need is a shotgun with unlimited ammo or charge.

I think I only was a soldier in ME1 because all of the non-soldiers either looked wussy or girly (it was like 3 years ago, ok? I was 13!)
