    With interesting plot threads to discover, beautiful locations to traverse, and powerful equipment to loot, there’s plenty on offer in Jaws of Hakkon—it’s a valuable addition to what was already a worthwhile

    BioWare has simply significantly increased the level of hitpoints on them all (a powerful Ogre has as much health as one of the first dragons in the core game) and at times that means many engagements turn into simple slugfests, with the player party and the enemies trading blows with limited tactical input until one of them losses all health.

    It’s a good, fun, entertaining extra bit of Dragon Age Inquisition, and if that doesn’t excite you then, well, you don’t need it.

    It’s hard to fully recommend Jaws of Hakkon when it feels so non-essential. There were no unique must-have experiences tucked away within the DLC that would warrant a purchase at $15. If you’re looking for more of the same, you got it.

    Jaws of Hakkon is a good start for Inquisition's DLCs, though Bioware could definitely do more. If you loved the formula of the original game, this addition will offer a new and interesting questline, extensive and inspired locations, a little extra loot and valuable information in terms of lore.

    Jaw of Hakkon is a good expansion but isn’t able to reach the high standard of quality of Dragon Age Inquisition.

    After having spent over 80 hours with Inquisition I was tired of it and Jaws of Hakkon did absolutely nothing to reignite the flame. [06/2015, p.57]

    Best way I can sum up Jaws of Hakkon is that it's more Dragon Age: Inquisition.

And whether that is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how you felt about the base game.

    It's a fairly solid DLC, for what it's worth, with a good amount of content and a new location, along with new items and crafting plans. It's an end-game DLC, with the recommended level for it being about level 20, at least in the save I loaded it in. Doesn't push the boundaries much, but it sets a good tone for the DLC for Inquisiton, and one can only hope future DLC is even better.

    Now that I've played DAI three times, I have come to really appreciate the environment and the challenges, as well as learned how to saveNow that I've played DAI three times, I have come to really appreciate the environment and the challenges, as well as learned how to save myself and my allies by crafting much better armor and weapons than you'll ever find in the regular game. So of course, I immediately downloaded Jaws of Hakkon. Yes, it could have had a bit more interesting topic. And yes, it's very similar to DAI. But it had enough different "things" (like a new Avvar culture, new animals for crafting, etc) to make it interesting enough. Definitely could have been longer. The DLCs for DA Origins and DA II had much more background story and were worthwhile add-ons. I can see why some folks may have expected more out of Jaws of Hakkon, but I believe it's worth it if you like the series. Expand

What it offers us is one new zone, that is really no more interesting than the zones currently in the game. And actually less so, because at least the zones that came with the game were integrated with the main plot. In the past BioWare DLCs and expansions have had *higher* quality maps, a tighter story, more character interaction, and so on than the originally packaged game. Jaws of Hakkon was more like, hey, you threw down $60 for this game that you've already burned through, why not throw down another $15 to keep playing a few more hours? The most depressing thing to me is that if BioWare can sell this junk for as much as they've ever charged for DLC, can we really expect them to make a real story-centered expansion later? Expand
