the descent dlc? WTF did they pull a legacy ending.

I didn't really get a WTF from either of these DLCs. What was it specifically that caused the WTF? The surprise and unanswered questions concerning the Titan, I assume?

DA2's Legacy was pretty clear-cut, I thought. That's not really the topic at hand, though.

I really enjoyed the Descent. I played it for the first time in the middle of a fresh campaign. I took it on after the destruction of Adamant, its fallout, and a handful of "Inner Circle" quests. I was a bit under-leveled, which made the increased difficulty all the more awesome and jarring. I quickly "caught up" to the target level, due to the XP curve. I also resurfaced fabulously wealthy and bedecked in gear we'd use to the end of the main story, in some cases. That seemed very appropriate for a Deep Roads expedition of this sort.

I love how this series has presented the deep, interwoven lore progressively, bit by bit. It makes one feel like an adventuring archaeologist. Half the lore we learned in DAO is BS. Kernels of truth were present, and we begin to see when and how the falsehoods crept in, as we uncover older and older sources and wonders. Awesome stuff, and a good DLC, in my opinion.

That's just how I like it, in this series. They've proven that they can be trusted to eventually come back to those questions in a creative, satisfying way. Mass Effect is my overall favorite series, but Dragon Age amazes me with the quality of its writing. It's BioWare's true crown jewel, I think, in terms of creating a rich, compelling RPG. For the first time, I find myself hoping that Mass Effect becomes a bit more like DA, in terms of writing, as that series moves into the future.

As to this particular topic, I didn't have any real WTF moment, but I definitely have more questions, now. The DLC seemed to confirm ideas about lyrium and "returning to the stone" that I've had for a long, long time. Tying it all together in the form of the Titan is curious, and definitely raises questions. We'll see where they go with it.

I'm glad they didn't forget the "children of the stone" in DAI, even if they had to go back and address them via DLC. At least it was a huge DLC.

Abrupt ending? Yeah, I guess that's fair.

But you've got to keep some powder dry. It was a pretty huge reveal about lyrium and the Inquisitors job was to stop the quakes. Which s/he did.

The deep-roads-as-titans-intestines thing is a mess for someone else to sort out.

Look forward to more on this storyline.

i really loved it!!! the music! the descent was clear!! all the way down! the underground sea was terrifying !!!! my imagination run wild! ANd the titan as a concept was pretty shocking! huge ramifications over the lyrium!
But yeah the ending was kind of abrupt!

I don't think that this is an ancient evil type thing where we'll have to vanquish it sometime in the future. It is possible though that it could tie into Solas' shenanigans.

Really? I totally did, in both cases. I just shook my head ruefully in the first case. I didn't have to like it, but I knew it was going to happen. There were way to many dialogue cues hunting in each direction.
