But the other two ones I suggested weren't too bad ideas, were they?

Ya, I like your other two ideas for DLC.!

There might be a problem if you play Hawke as an aposate mage though. Bioware would have to take that into account somehow. But ya, the escape sounds exciting and would work since it comes before the 3 acts of DA2.

I totally think Bioware should have DLC that fills in the 1 to 3 year gaps between Acts. What has Hawke been doing all that time? It might even help the narrative of Hawke's story, in a big way. Let me explain.

Think about it for a second, after the Deep Roads Expedition, what reasons would Hawk possibly have to help out all these people of Kirkwall? His/Her family is safe, they're rich and living in the lap of luxury. But for some unknown reason Hawke is compelled to help everyone out with their problems with no explanation as to why.

Why should Hawke care about rumblings within the Qunari? What did Hawke do those 3 years for the Viscount to trust him/her with any sort of delicate political negotiations? They never say, it's all whispers and innuendo. As the player, I don't care. Nothing in the game makes me want to care either. Burn them all and be done with it I say .. but no.

May I ask why the Captain of the Guard, even though they're friends, is stopping by asking for help? Is the guard really so ill-prepared under Aveline's watch she needs an outsider to fix her problems? Wouldn't this make her look incompetent in the eyes of the guard? No, because for reasons unknown to the player, everyone in Kirkwall just accepts that Hawke has everything under control.


So I'm all for DLC that would explain all these curious questions that run through my mind as I play. Because I'm tired of nothing making sense when I play this game.

Considering what they did to Alistair, Zevran and Anders's voice and poor Ser Punce-a-lot I'm kind of happy they left Sten out. Like the Ostagar battle idea tho, don't think Alistair will be much "younger" tho.

Younger compared to the ugly thing that showed up in the Keep

Same here...
There was A LOT of unanswered questions in Dragon Age 2, and the story was definatly lacking due to most of it being cut in the little 'thus began he champions first year in Kirkwall' - 'it had been three years and the Qunari still hadn't left' etc. cut scenes.

2) We worked for one year in servitude? Well, I would like it if we could play through that one year of servitude - I mean, I know there are two different people who get us into the city, but come on - what is the actual difference? I don't see one - we still meet the same people, the story is the same. So I really think who we chose to get us into the city could be played on more.

Actually most of the quest in DA2 felt like being in servitude. Don't get me wrong, I liked playing DA2, but comon these quest... Get me this, Kill that go, go over there and slap random guy x really felt like i was playing GTA and I had to gain some respect from a certain Mafia boss...

Sometimes DA2 really felt like some errands I had to run for certain people before I could continue with the main plot line...

While we're at it, maybe have a quest where your Mabari has to rescue the 'Hero of Ferelden's" Mabari from Darkspawn and you find out they were from the same litter!

This is the best Idea I have ever heard, forever.

Edit - maybe save it for DA3
