    The latest DLC Darkspawn Chronicles offers a brand new experience. The first time you can be on the dark side. All in all, I can only recommend the DLC to all Dragon Age Origins fans.

    New DLC is a real "snack" – short and delicious. Its concept "What If…" is amusingly refreshing and scores with a dark sense of humor. We like to kill minions of Good! [Issue#192]

    It is in fact another brutish DLC for Dragon Age, and the roleplay is once again nowhere to be seen.

    A novel first attempt at making a Dragon Age add-on (as opposed to add-in) DLC. The new (to the player at least) abilities and party members are fun for as long as it lasts. I wish BioWare had allocated more resources and time to this DLC since it shows more promise than the other cookie-cutter DLC offerings they produced for Dragon Age: Origins. At the end of Darkspawn Chronicles I had a feeling of accomplishment that none of the other DA DLCs provided, so it at least delivers on an emotional level despite the utter lack of dialog (apparently there was no voice over budget for this project). However, Darkspawn Chronicles would have benefited significantly had the player's experience with the protagonist been longer than a mere 1.5 hours. Feels like a gem in the rough that BioWare failed to sufficiently polish before release.… Expand
