So, something else happened on September 7, besides Lair of the Shadow Broker. As some of you may have noticed, a new DLC for Dragon Age: Origins also came out on the 7th, and was immediately overshadowed (no pun intended) by LOTSB. In fact, it hasn't even earned a news post on the Dragon Age Wiki! So, in an attempt to do it justice, I'll post a little blog about it here.

The new DLC is called Witch Hunt, and as the name implies, it does have to do with Morrigan. And I have to say, I found it quite enjoyable. To be honest, I didn't like the two new companions (the party consists of you, the dog, a Dalish elf warrior, and a mage), and was constantly hoping that I'd have the option of either killing them myself, or getting them killed. But the storyline and plot was compelling enough to totally overpower this one negative point. There were only a few new items to be found, and there weren't really any new locations, just the Circle Tower, a thaig in the Deep Roads, some elven ruins, and a location (won't say which one) from the Awakening expansion. But again, it was still really fun.

And one very important thing to note is that this is the VERY LAST DLC for DA:O. Now, as some of you may remember, originally BioWare said, when DA:O first came out, that they had two years worth of DLC planned out for it. And now here we are, barely 10 months later and they're saying "Nope, this is the last one." So, why the discrepancy? Well, as our dear friend Chris Priestly explains, they simply didn't expect Dragon Age II to be ready this soon! DA II is set to release barely 16 months after DA:O, negating the need for two years worth of DLC to fill the gap. So, back to the main point, this is the LAST DLC for DA:O, and one of the possible endings (the one I did first time through) makes this VERY CLEAR. There's no coming back from this, or going on after it. So, in closing, let me just say, this is a DLC which hasn't really got much attention yet, which is a shame, as if it had come out on any other Tuesday, it would have been all that anybody could talk about. (Well, maybe not any other Tuesday, as next Tuesday I hear some newfangled game is supposed to release!) So, if you're a fan of DA:O, get out there and download this content!
