well iam 2011 newfag so you know....
i like it. i would say its at least as good as lotsb from me2, so quality product for those who can stand bioware games. its about 3-4 hours with entire new locations and story around grey wardens, first darskspawns, magisters, golden city and so long. all companions are voiced not like zombie companions from mass effect dlcs, there is a lot of new banters and you can recruit all of your companions (yes including your sibling) and start the game at any time in all 3 acts as well with post campaign save. couple new enemies, honestly i liked them especialy genlocks alphas with those retarded huge shields and final boss. there are no more parachuters enemies, as there are no more waves of mobes
nice puzzles, a lot of traps to disarm(some really nasty), and easter egg( something like kangaxx from bg2). there is a bit of backtracking but only if you want to do all side quests and gather some hidden loot. in the end there is a choice , you can even double cross your allies, but still its typical bioware c&c so you still fight in the end, just different fuckers. oh and you got some oversized weapons, they look retarded and not really usefull, but who cares 7feet long claymore is AWESOME!!!!
so from all dragon age dlc i liked only golems of angamark, but this one is definitely above all of them. still new shit but it seems that in the end they listened to community made some incline with this release.
tlrd:
if u are about to puke seeing hawke, dont even bother. for the others its the best shit u can expect from bioware, worth torrenting
