If you were disappointed by the Dragon Age 2 ending this may (or may not) fix things. Our heroes travel to an ancient ruin to prevent an evil demon from awakening and blah blah... but things don't go as expected and blah... you know what? We know Bioware by now, this DLC will cost $10, you know what that means: one hour of gameplay along a linear path, collect some loot, solve a puzzle and fight a big baddie, dramatic Good or Evil choice ensues, credits roll.

I liked DA2 very much but I say: don't buy this DLC, watch it on youtube. Save your money for the inevitable and more meaningful $30 add-on like DA: Awakening was

Or, if you liked Witch Hunt, don't mind me: go ahead and buy it

EDIT: I just redeemed my free code for The Black Emporium DLC and holy crap, that must be the worst darn DLC I've ever seen in my entire life: it's basically just a store where you can change your face and buy stuff... stuff I'll never use since the I beat the game and now there's no more quests and I can't go anywhere! The DLC is for sale for $10 if you didn't get it with a prorder or something, so.... wow, I don't envy you if you paid for this monumental crap. Now it's official EA killed Bioware

I was satisfied with DA2 to be honest, I don't this new DLC.

DLC is a waste of money IMO, especially map packs.greendayR0cks

I usually only buy DLC if I'm getting something substantial out of it. I liked the DLC for Borderlands, as it really expanded the game. I'll probably get Kenshi for Mortal Kombat as I like the character and I'll use him a lot online, etc.

But holy crap, most of the DLC for Dragon Age was so abysmal it blew my mind. I honestly can't believe they're charging $10 for Black Emporium as that added virtually nothing to the game...

Loved DA 2, DLC sounds awesome, and the black emporium was cool because it had a bunch of good gear to buy for your characters. But it was included in my game so idk.GodModeEnabled

It's a good thing I'm waiting on buying Dragon Age II. Once they release all the DLC they want on the game, I have a good feeling that they will do an Ultimate Edition package of sorts for DAII. That's when I'll buy my copy.

Yea I liked the game and I know I'll buy the upcoming DLC, but still Dragon Age 2 left alot to be desired and not just in comparison to DAO either. All in all DA2 was quite the letdown for me at least :(

Ok ok ok ok ok.

So which ending was worse: KOTOR 2 or Dragon Age 2?

I think KOTOR 2 was worse but only by a little.

The way the story structure is set up is very reminescent of Baldurs Gate 2 and their older games where the focus on the main narrative doesn't really happen to the final leg of the game. The rest of the game is setup, side quests and role playing and establishing not only your own party members but he city of Kirkwall as one of the main characters itself.GodModeEnabled

don't agree with the Baldur's Gate reference since in chapter 1 not only are you introduced to the main antagonist, you're also given some random information about his motives, and more than 5 reasons why you'd want to kill the bastard. The chapters after that actually make sense in a plot. Save Imoen, find what the plan is and how to stop it and then confront the evil guy. The side quests are there for people to explore and level up without having to resort to grinding with random encounters. They also flesh out the side characters.

In DA2 there's just foreshadowing and fleshing out the characters along with some of the worst side quests i've ever seen in a high profile RPG. (Oh look i found a pair of panties under a log in the slums, they belong to "Lady who lost panties" and she lives in the forest 10 miles away) in chapter 1.

I certainly wouldn't buy it as the game was appaling!!!
