    It's available now on XBone. Quick, someone download it and tell the rest of us if it's worth it! ;-)

    It's probably like those DLCs, but like I've said earlier, Awakening was released just 133 days after DA:O launched. So... ya know, it's possible that it's bigger.

    Here is the description on that page:

Explore their culture to uncover what happened to the last Inquisitor and the dragon he pursued. Find an ancient Tevinter fortress that hides a dangerous secret. In this new adventure, playable within the Dragon Age: Inquisition campaign, you will face powerful foes, gain legendary armor and weapons, and confront an ancient god of war bent on destroying the world.

    Features:
    • Uncover a lost chapter in the history of the Inquisition and discover the ultimate fate of the last Inquisitor
    • Explore a vast, new area in Thedas with lush forests and mountainous terrain
    • Earn the respect of Avvar warriors while destroying an ancient cult
    • Strengthen the Inquisition through new operations unlocked by your discoveries

    it's the actual spiritual successor to baldur's gate, its at least what bioware were trying to do with dragon age origins before it became its own thing.

    and PoE looks like it is going to be incredible. no romances though.

    so I guess they want us to play it before the endgame run?

    "Run around in a new giant area! Fight a new dragon!" doesn't really appeal to me.

    Wait what?! Dammit I spent too much time on the stupid multiplayer and never did a second run. Well time to go hunt dragons with my Reaver I guess. I wonder if this new patch will break mods?

    I honestly liked divinity original sin better than POE last time I played it, the gameplay was crap

    maybe it's improved though

    Historically, it seems like the window of Xbox exclusivity for CoD DLC is roughly one month.

    I wonder if EA is doing something similar, or if the exclusivity window is different with this deal.

    I updated my game, since I haven't played it since about the first week of February, and I had a quest get fixed (a rift), but one thing that has not been fixed yet is two things:

    a) there's a store that should have opened up next to the guy in Skyhold who sells those treaty items that are made to increase power and influence. I see the icon showing the buy/sell thing but still, nothing there, and nothing to buy either

    b) the little experience/power/influence bar in the top right corner never shows up anymore. I still get the power notifications and the aura over the inquisitor, but what am I going to do with my 200+ remaining power?

  • Fleur de AlysFleur de Alys Biohacker Registered User regular
    Well, I guess there's always a bright side to this

    As a PS4 player, at least I won't be tempted to buy the DLC before it's patch-fixed

    Oh, don't worry. I'm sure the PS4 will have platform-exclusive bugs of its very own at launch.

    That way, we all get to have the true launch-day experience.

    1) happened to me as well. And it was very weird.

    Even weirder when the vendor DID show show up and there was an empty space next to him where I could purchase stuff as well (there's a box/icon and I can interact with it, but no shop stall or person).

    So...I just fought like
    4 Pride Demons at the same time
    and everything was bright and I had no idea what was going on.

    I haven't really advanced the story but so far its feeling like a high level area with a lot of high level loot/materials and some lore on the Inquisition thrown in for good measure.

    So take from that what you will.

    Hmmm... I really hope there is some meaty character stuff in here. $15 for more grinding and some lore sounds like a bad value.

    There is some stuff about Scout Harding it seems.

    So if you like her I guess you'll like that.

    I was mostly indifferent to her and never got on that fan train so eh.

    Not much with your core party.

    But I'm still early.

    I really, really like Harding, but (obviously?) I place more importance on the core team. That is... preliminarily disappointing, I guess.

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    Meh. I guess this was pretty much what I was expecting for the first DLC so I'm cool with it.

    As far as story heavy stuff goes, if ME3 is any indication we won't get that until the 2nd or 3rd one.

    I mean, I guess it depends on what you mean by "story" in that context. Because the reveal and info dump are pretty important in Leviathan.

    I suppose hearing that it's mostly the secondary vanilla stuff makes the exclusivity window sting less, but I'd rather the DLC be awesome.

    I can't answer if its "awesome" since that's pretty subjective. I mean it isn't Citadel level if that's what you're wondering.

    I mean if you want comparisons I would say its pretty much like Leviathan or Legacy(well except without the family stuff) in terms of content/importance. Not sure if it will foreshadow anything like both of those did.

    *Though I would note I didn't think Leviathan was that important to the main plotline, it just clarified some things.

    I played a lot more tonight, still haven't started the main quest but been doing a lot the side content.

    Yeah, most of this map has you learning about the Avaar. Their customs, way of life, how they deal with mages.

    The map is a decent size and one of the cooler looking locales.

    As far as party stuff, since people like Bassguy wanted to know. Nothing heavy but your characters do quip in a bit here and there.

    It isn't showing yet. I think it should around 1PM CST (That's usually when shit shows up)

    Jaws of Hakkon has the dialog count of an exploration area and a crit path area together.
    Goal was to tie story into the explorable space

    I see it just fine under "Game Details" in Origin.

    Haven't tried to buy it yet, mainly because I don't get paid till Thursday.

    No matter where you go...there you are.

    I liked the body paint.
    The weapons looked really out of place to me with their textures. (Of course I'm at work so its at lower resolution and stuff so it may look better when everything is nice and crisp)
    Edit: JoH is up on Origin. Apparently they added it exactly when I made that last post (11:00)

    Like I'm put it this way.

    If you're a lore fan, I actually think the DLC is pretty good.

    If you're more of a companion/core team person...eh, not so much.

    I'm both myself.

    Yes, but are there new hats?
    yes pls

    i'm refreshing over and over just waiting for the thing everyone wants to know: what are our new dress-up options

    the internet is not cooperating on this front

    i don't think these people are playing the same game i am

    A new area? Hmm. Looks neat, but I'm still nowhere near done with the main game. I'll wait for it to go on sale someday, like all BioWare DLC does.

    As far as drops go I've gotten more high level weapons and a few tier 4 schematics more than anything. I haven't done any of the main quest so I'm not sure what goodies you get from those.

    As far as shops go, there are a lot of schematics.

    Nothing really new but a lot of tier 4 stuff.

    There are also schematics for all the unique headgear. So if you wanted to give Cole his hat back you can buy that and customize it.
