Review Yaru 3/5 · Jan 16, 2025

Good expansion - why Ohgren?

80/100

Or maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention. Either way, it didn't really capture my interest as much as Origins did, which I suppose was to be expected. Still, it's an excellent preface to DA2! Not to mention fascinating from a lore perspective.

Too many bugs

The story felt way less immersive comparing to the main story of Origins. I encountered a high number of bugs trying to finish the side-quests, clearly the DLC went through very little beta testing.

Honesty the experience would've been really good with a little bit of bug fixing... You would literally need a guide to not find any bugs.

Still …

Still a good DLC, I guess.

Handed out some gifts, talked to Oghren about Felsi, realized that 'Kitten' had disappeared from the inventory before I could give it to Anders. @_@
