Possibly forced by Microsoft's hand after it was revealed yesterday, BioWare and Electronic Arts have dropped details on the once-mysterious "Darkspawn Chronicles" DLC for Dragon Age: Origins.
The DLC puts players in the boots of the Darkspawn, playing as the army of the Blight, and enslaved by the will of the Archdemon. Focused on an alternate history in the game universe, the game begins with the player dying during the "Joining" ceremony. The Grey Wardens are now ruled under Alistair's command; you'll control a hurlock vanguard, with the ability to "Enthrall" and recruit any darkspawn you encounter.
If you don't know what the hell any of that means, no worries. Why would you play the DLC if you're not already familiar with Origins? And if you are, you'll be happy to learn that the completing the DLC will unlock a special darkspawn item for use in Origins and Awakenings.
"Darkspawn Chronicles" is out on May 18, and will cost 400 MS Points for 360, 400 BioWare points for PC, and $4.99 on PlayStation 3.

I think I'll pass.
This sounds bad-ass.
This new DLC sounds like what I've always known DLC is but forgot about with the earlier Dragon Age ones, DLC = cash grab =/
I picked up Wardens Keep and Return to Ostagar and it was enough to keep my characters doing something new and exciting my 2nd and 3rd times through.
I don't understand why people complain about the dlc, don't get them if you don't want them.
I liked all dlc:s of DA compared to Mass Effect's shit. But it's only me.
Well perhaps Awakening was a bit expensive, but great add-on still.
