Sounds Awesome.
Unlike some I really enjoyed DA2, even with it's reused assets popping up a bit more than I'd like.

aaagggh. Idk. They should have put more time into DA2. They should have stuck with good characters like morrigan and aliester.
Has Bioware given any indication as to how long Legacy will be? I'd rather have a single DLC pack that spans 10-15 hours rather than several that are 2-3 hours.
I'm still waiting for a highly discounted Ultimaye Edition that contains all DLC... I wasn't fond of the changes and absense of depth.
@emptyskin: buh?
I hope you're not going to suggest that Varric wasn't the best character in the series. Honestly, the DA2 characters were all pretty good (except Fenris, maybe), but they all suffered from much less interaction than the DA1 cast had.
It's a crime to offer up characters as fun to talk to as Varric, Aveline, and Isabella, but only let you talk to them a couple times a chapter.

Nope! That's the dreaded "warehouse" location! Oh man that location was great - our party had good times visiting "warehouse" OVER THIRTY TIMES <3

Really though, this looks pretty lame. I was under the impression you would play as Hawke, and it would be easy to assimilate this into your main game, so that each time you play, you have a quest to complete to level up *your* Hawke. My guess is this will play out like the Darkspawn Chronicles did in DA:O - you just select it from the main menu screen, play it once, and be done with it.
I'm also skeptical of the difficulty. I know it's hard at press events to really concentrate, not to mention the fact that you don't have all of your skills, weapons, and abilities on hand because they give you a demo build. I have little doubt that the strategy will be not much more than "mash mash mash - dodge - heal - mash mash mash" for my Warrior and Rogue characters.

Meh, my money's on Catherine next week.
Otherwise, ESIV: Oblivion 5th Anni Edition is currently consuming all my gaming time and attention.

I'll be sure to pick up this game just so I can send it to the dwarfs in Orzammar so they can diarrhea all over it. DA1 is still an amazing game. DA2 is just a pile of crap. No thank you.
I liked DA2, well the first half of it I played, but I found the repetition of going back to the same areas rather annoying. (And I've heard a lot of people complain about this) It's just..I got to a certain point and suddenly I lost interest. It wasn't the repeated areas. It wasn't the story. I'm not sure what happened.
Still, this is in my pile of "need to finish" games, so I may at some point pick up the expansion. I think they need to make a game where your choices at some point could cost you the character. Then you're forced to play as one of your team members, and based on how you used them/treated them, directs how the game plays out. It would be far more exciting then just giving us some DLC to play as a different character.

Thanks for the preview! But man, I don't know. I think I'd probably get more out of just playing the main game through again with a different build. Still feeling a bit burned about that Morrigan DLC for DA1, which promised to be a cool extension of the Warden's story but ended up feeling about as disconnected as could be. DA DLC is always so short, too.
Also a bit skeptical of the difficulty, as I ran my entire first playthrough of DA2 in Hard mode, downshifting to normal only for some of the more excruciating fights. (I'm happy playing most games on Normal.)

"Bioware continues to their never-ending quest for expansions by adding more story, enemies and items."
But not new environments I see.

Huh? I must have missed a lot of DA2, because I do not recognize the locations of most of those screenshots.
I had a huge amount of fun with DA2, so I'll probably pick this up. Gonna wait for reviews first, though, because most of the DA:O DLC wasn't very good at all.

Itll take an expansion length DLC for DA2 to get me to buy it. Sorry Bioware, but youre off my "must-buy" list of developers these days.
And sometime they need to resolve the storyline with Morrigan and Alistair. That dlc for it just made it worse.
Thank you, John Speerbrecker, for spoiling what could possibly be the biggest twist of this DLC. You are totally not a douchebag.
I'm sort of bummed that you're playing as Hawke's father and not Hawke in the DLC. I didn't like any of the Dragon Age: Origins DLC that didn't have you playing as the character the player made. I would have hoped that since they bothered to make a defined protagonist for Dragon Age 2 they'd want to give us more or him or her in the DLC.
