The very, very short review.

At a price of $20.00, It would have been a great game. For $40.00, I feel like I got ripped off. The puzzles are easy, hidden content is lacking, and the story just isn't that engaging. Also, you don't really have to make any particularly difficult decisions at any point in the expansion, at least, as compared to the base game.

This isn't to say that I didn't enjoy it, but my experience with Dragon Age Origins left me expecting more.

    This is next in line for me to play. I guess I'll be moving on to FFXIII that much quicker! At least we can look forward to D.A.-O 2 on 2-1-11 as long as the insert that came with the game is to be believed.

    I got around 12 hours out of it, but I like to take my time and find as much as I can. A guy I work with finished it in 7 hours.

    I have yet to get even 1/2 way through DA:O...

    I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to really get into it.

    Dragon Age was easily my game of the year for last year. I haven't played the expansion yet, but I did pick it up with an EA coupon code making it cost only 20 bucks. From what I have heard it sounds like that's about the right price.
