Surprised there wasn't a thread for this yet. I think it was leaked since I can't see any official announcement for this?

"Could one thing in this bloody world just stay fixed"

One of my favourite lines with a great delivery haha.

edit: This pretty much confirms the survey from before and that it's the last DLC:

I know they’re different BioWare teams, but some of the the goals of Trespasser remind me of Mass Effect 3’s Citadel DLC. Did you take any inspiration from that?

I would say we took some notes there. Citadel happens in the timeline – it happens mid-mission, before the end. It’s not an epilogue in the same way, though when it was released, for many people it was their last experience with Mass Effect. This big thing about Citadel that we found resonant was that opportunity to hang out with your friends again and saddle up for another mission. There’s a bit of a joy in seeing these folks again and seeing how they’ve evolved. How are things with Dorian now? How are things with Blackwall? Of course, we can change elements of that based on how you played Inquisition and the decisions you made. There is a chunk of Trespasser where you get to catch up with old friends, and that is certainly our most hotly requested thing for DLC. When we look at critiques for The Descent, it’s often “Well, I just wanted more out of my followers.” We wanted to make sure that you have the opportunity to deal with your advisors like Cullen and Josephine, but also that the followers are there and you have a chance to see how things have turned out for them.

How does Solas figure into all of this?

If you’ve seen the ending, you know Solas is a special circumstance. I’m not going to promise that he rejoins the party and things are great, but he will make an appearance. I know people are excited about that. Solas remains an exceedingly complicated and enmeshed character in the world. In the course of the DLC, we’re not going to wrap up his storyline – that’s just way too complicated. But we can add a lot of texture and information to it, so it isn’t just this one note of confusion. Instead, it’s an opportunity to learn more about his situation in a way that we may be able to explore in future games. If there are future games.

In terms of structure, is it like the Jaws of Hakkon DLC, which gives you another large area to explore freely? Or is it more focused?

It’s much more narrative in the way it flows. There’s clear goals, clear next steps to take, and it’s much higher in cinematic presentation than Hakkon was. We look at the feedback, and that’s something people have been looking for – something dealing more directly with the followers. We’ve had this cooking for quite a while; it was coming, and we knew this was there. Hakkon was a chance to refine some of what we learned about exploration, and The Descent was an opportunity for us to work more closely with the Austin team to make more of a dungeon crawl. This one is the more narrative heavy of the three.

That looks awesome. Can anyone translate the text? And is that Viv as the Divine at 0:27? Or maybe its the Mother whose name escapes me?

They're subtitles. I would wait until the panel happens, I'm pretty sure they're going to do gameplay and reveal the new gameplay mode from the leak.

It looks story heavy just from the trailer. Several locations and plenty of dialogue along with fighting.

I do regret one of my choices in the game though now
Siding with the Qunari in Bull's companion quest. >_>

Is this supposed to be big story DLC like Awakening/Witch Hunt or is this another pointless side?

Based on the trailer, like the witch's hunt (since Awakening was expansion sized. Doubt this will be like that)

Given the nature of the it and the fact that you're actually speaking to people in a variety of locations, I would say it is. I'm also pretty sure it's the last one.

Wonder what the excuse for not letting us use spears is going to be this time.

Day one. Haven't bought the other DLCs yet (first time not day oneing Dragon Age DLC), but this continuing the main plot threads is too much to ignore.

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Good trailer and I'm actually looking to re-playing the game some day once the last dirty memories from the grind wash out of my conscience. This looks like the first piece of DLC that doesn't just add more stuff to grind (although I suspect it does that too) but also some kind of continuation of the story from the main game.

Hopefully BioWare/EA offers these for 50% some day down the line.

I ended up skipping the last two DLCs after reading reviews but I'm definitely picking this one up now that we are finally at post-ending DLC.

Well, it sounds more interesting than the others so far, at least. It seems like it puts more emphasis on the dialogue and overall story than the other DLC did, which is good since I felt those were lacking. Hopefully it's as solid as it looks.

Jeeze, I feel like this game went silent for real long then just started spitting out DLC left and right. Maybe it was the console exclusive delay between Xbox and PS4 (my console) but didn't the last DLC come out only a few weeks ago, or is my perception of time just off?

Definitely looks like the last DLC that will also set up Dragon Age 4. Fans have been speculating for awhile now when the Qunari/Tevinter tension will explode into war again, and now that southern Thedas storylines are wrapped up DA4 seemed like the perfect time to switch focus.

It seems like the Qunari are using Eluvians which is a bit shocking.

Yeah, but the Descent was made by BioWare Austin whereas this is BioWare Edmonton again. Different studios.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the Descent had a bunch of technical problems that led to a delay and the dropping of the previous gen systems.

Oh my god!!! Is this Solas at the end? Finally a post-ending DLC. Can't wait and it's coming out in one and a half weeks?


They will probably announce it on Monday.

They're going to announce it later today at their PAX panel actually. :)

Panel is called Dragon Age: Past, Present, Future so I think it'll be interesting for lots of reasons.

Holy Balls!! The Inquisitor is pissed!
Gave me Phantom Pain vibes, maybe we have to chop off our own hand?

I mean the Inquisition is a heroic version of Big Boss' MSF anyway

This looks like DLC worth getting. I wonder what Iron Bull has to say about this, especially if you made him sacrifice the Bull's Chargers for the Qun.

Pretty good chance he'll join up since he said that's exactly what he would do if the day ever came.

That part with Solas will be the final scene of the DLC, won't it? It's gonna be Morrigan all over again.
Click to expand...

That's probably my biggest concern lol. Hopefully it won't be like oh look we finally reached Solas now for 2 minutes of partial explanation and then the DLC ends.

Final dlc?
Edit: I've asked this on every thread for a DLC but I want to know which one is last so I can play them all!
Click to expand...

Everyone seems to be assuming that this is going to be the last DLC. I'm sort of confused, though, because I always assumed that there'd be DLC dealing with the Warden/Weisshaupt stuff that's hinted at during the game's ending and this DLC doesn't seem to be doing that.

Possibly they'll save that kind of stuff for a sequel?

I guess they'll say at the panel if this is the last one.. I just want to jump back in;(
