Re: Games Discussion Thread
The Game Informer articles touch on the redesign of the qunari, among other things. Apparently their reasoning behind the difference between Sten vs. This guy is that not all qunari have horns. And there was only a small portion of the race viewed in the first game, so it stands to reason we did not see all physical specimens Par Volen (sod sp?...the Qunari homeland.) had to offer.
Also, while this makes me a bit giddy, I also think it's kind of shitty in a way.
""Never follow me." With these words, Morrigan vanished into the shadows. Her plans and her whereabouts have remained a mystery... until now. But whether you seek answers, revenge, or reconciliation with your lost love, you may find more than you bargained for."
Witch Hunt. The last DA: O DLC. Available Sept. 7th.
Description:
The dreaded Archdemon has been slain and the advance of the darkspawn halted by a lone, heroic Grey Warden. The kingdom rejoices, but at least one question remains: what happened to Morrigan? The sorceress joined the Wardens cause, but it is said her true purpose was not revealed until the eve of the last battle. She vanished into the shadows, and while rumors claimed she crossed over the mountains into Orlais no trace of her path could be found. She was never heard from again... until now. Nearly a year has passed since the Archdemon's death, and word has reached the Wardens that Morrigan has returned to Ferelden. She has been sighted in the southern wilderness where she was first encountered. Is it truly her? If it is, then why has is she here and what secret does she carry with her? The Warden heads into the forest to find out and tie up this last loose end once and for all.
Key Features:
Confront Morrigan in this dramatic conclusion to the Origins storyline
Earn powerful rewards that transfer into your Awakening and Origins campaign
Import your character from Origins or Awakening or create a new, high-level hero!
So, basically, if I want to see how things fully play out, I need the DLC. That...kind of sucks ass in my opinion. From a marketing standpoint, I can see why they'd do it, but up until now, I've mostly just considered a lot of the DLC optional content. This is like...game Canon. I'm thankful for youtube and the stuff people post on it.
Although it makes me wonder even further about the supposed Dragon Age Ultimate Edition that Gamestop apparently has for reservation. It's due out in October and retails for $59.99 but there's been nothing released with regard to content. You'd think the Bioware site would be hyping it up. Unless they're waiting for all the DLC to be published first (which is the theory behind the UE...it's got all the DLC in it.) If that's the case, I might consider trading in my existing copy and picking it up (having gift certs. helps a lot, too.) If it's just codes, like with Stone Prisoner, I'll pass, since I might as well just hook up to the net and download them straight, but if they're on disc, that might be fun.
