Just finished Descent (spoilers)

Yes, I know I’m late and everyone here has likely finished donkeys ago but I’ve clocked hundreds of hours on the main game across PC and PS4 and couldn’t settle with my inquisitor, then I had issues with my graphics card and had to swap over to the PS4 and then I was busy and blah, blah, blah, just got around to play8ng the DLC.

So I started with Descent, I heard it was the shortest and it took me about eight, nine hours to complete, I’m still exploring the new areas. Opened all the doors without finding a lot of the cogs, why hide something like that. Anyway, I know a lot of people complained about Descent for one reason or another but I really liked it. 

SPOiLERS




I did not like the guns, I did not get the guns. It was out of place and I felt that my dragon age was being invaded by the future. That and they ripped through my Elie’s HP. He is a Dalish elf mage and is wearing sentinel armour, he is level 27, still kept getting trampled though. The new armour was not that impressive and the loot was OK but not spectacular, although the new mage staff is pretty.

I loved being back in the deep roads, though it has never been as gross as origins, I kinda miss the fleshy sacks that defined it and I really wanted to see the new look of the brood mothers but no such luck. I didn’t like Valta much, she was a bit too generic. I loved REN, mostly because he isn’t voiced by David Hayter and the way REN spoke, it was just like having Snake following me. I thought very bad things when he died towards Bioware but it looks like he might make a come back, Valta obviously removed his remains, who else would and the only reason can be resurrection.

The lyrium caves and the Wellspring, were beautiful. The story was great but left me with so many questions. I mean, if a titan is big enough to walk around in and carves cities in and have it own sea and sky, it would have to be well, planet sized or the core of the planet. Lyrium is obviously its blood but mining it doesn’t seem to hurt it. The rhythm was obviously it’s hearbeat. Titan brings up the image of a golem but this seems more to be unshared living rock, or is the whole of Thedas inside the Titan?

And Valta, what happened to her at the end seems to be the same thing that happened when Elise drank from the well of sorrows. So is this Titan a God? So we are heading in the direction of exploring the Dwarven Gods and are down the line with the Elven Gods, will we ever see any proof of the Maker? I hope Bioware doesn’t PC the maker because it has some Christian overtones, it’s a fantasy game, with fantasy religions. I want to see some proof of the maker, we only ever see the chantry. Anyway, it leaves so many questions. 

I will I’ll say one thing, the entire DLC, in fact the entire game was worth it for the nug king, best thing ever. P

What did you Think?

Im off to explore the rest of the caves and then play Jaws of Hakkon.
