The kingdom rejoices, but at least one question remains: what happened to Morrigan? The sorceress joined the Wardens cause, but it is said her true purpose was not revealed until the eve of the last battle. She vanished into the shadows, and while rumors claimed she crossed over the mountains into Orlais no trace of her path could be found. She was never heard from again... until now. Nearly a year has passed since the Archdemon's death, and word has reached the Wardens that Morrigan has returned to Ferelden. She has been sighted in the southern wilderness where she was first encountered. Is it truly her? If it is, then why has is she here and what secret does she carry with her? The Warden heads into the forest to find out and tie up this last loose end once and for all. Expand

    If you're willing to spend money to see Morrigan again for about five minutes and get an unsatisfactory explanation of what's been going on, then you should buy Witch Hunt.

    Last date with the sexy witch Morrigan should reveal some unanswered questions from the main story – and set a bunch of new ones. Seek your answers in Dragon Age II (maybe?). [Issue#196]

    This isn't a total disaster, but it does not feel like much love or effort has gone into it either. [Dec 2010, p.64]
  4. The presence of well constructed brand new characters is totally eclipsed by an unsatisfactory finale and recycled settings.
  5. Morrigan's return is a disappointment in this vapid downloadable add-on.

    How could the once great Bioware produce game that were suddenly getting blasted with red review scores? It all seemed to start soon afterHow could the once great Bioware produce game that were suddenly getting blasted with red review scores? It all seemed to start soon after they were sucked into the 'Evil Empire, EA. They started to add something to their games called DLC. Presumably these letters stand for 'Done Like Crap'. Because they sure were. Almost every bit of DLC for Dragon Age and Mass Effect was a rip-off plain and simple. Some of it offered overpowered items. Some of it offered a couple of hours of game time. None of it evolved the game in question. For Dragon Age, a largely plot driven game, the DLC was lamentably bad. Please remember that in my new scoring system 5/10 0/10 in the old reckoning. Let's hope if Bioware continues with DLC in the future they eventually learn to make it worthwhile for the PLAYERS, not just a way of ripping-off their customers.

    THE GROT REVIEW CRITERIA: After a long time writing reviews like an anus, think its time to set a few bad habits straight: Stop insulting designers. Show some respect for the design process and getting games in circulation. Hence (1) No Red scores. (2) Game scores as follows: Bad Game 5/10. Poor Game 6/10. Mediocre Game: 7/10. Good Game 8/10. Great game 9/10. Stella Game 10/10. To get 10/10 it must be a game that can be (theoretically) play-able for 1000+ hours. Not only great but near endless fun. Games may be bad or poor but making them should earn respect. Thus even the worst POS will still be a 5/10. 0/10 no longer exists in my vocabulary. Yellow is the new red.

There is really nothing that makes it worth getting, it seemed like the only new content in the game was the (very easy) boss fight before you enter the ruins that Morrigan is at which quite frankly is pathetic.

    Bioware has gotten heat over the duration and quality of all of their DLC, but this particular pack sets a whole new low. While the otherBioware has gotten heat over the duration and quality of all of their DLC, but this particular pack sets a whole new low. While the other releases might not have been particularly lengthy, I enjoyed all of them for the cost. Even my least favorite, Golems, was head and shoulders above this DLC.

    It felt more like an undiscovered sidequest (notice: single quest) from the original game. It's a disappointing adventure that answers absolutely none of the questions from the original.

    Frankly, I don't think I've ever played a worse DLC. Horrible. The '2' is only earned through the entertaining banter of your party members, as it's the only worthwhile aspect.

    Summary
    Pros: Good Party Members
    Cons: Extremely Short, Content Very Easy, Barely New Material, No Plot Advancement

    I cannot even recommend this to DA fans. Save your money, there's nothing worth the buy here.

    Im sorry to say this dlc is a complete garbage. first of all it took me less than 2 hours (with few coffee breaks), second i wasn't even closeIm sorry to say this dlc is a complete garbage. first of all it took me less than 2 hours (with few coffee breaks), second i wasn't even close to die once ( while not touching the other henchman, just playing with my rouge... they also didn't die until the last boss, stupid mage), all of that in nightmare difficulty. second the lure is not that great . third and worse of them all the story is a total crap!!, no new information and an unbelievably stupid and disappointing ending without ANY NEW INFORMATION.
    bioware is a great company that make an amazing games but to say the least their dlc are not that great while this one is a simple fraud which just tells you GIVE US YOUR MONEY, See you next time.
    thanks bioware.
