Interested to hear other people's thoughts/opinions. To me, it was alright, though I like it less than Jaws of Hakkon. It's just less interesting since it only introduces two characters, while Jaws of Hakkon had Kenric, Colette, and the villagers of Stone-Bear Hold. And, the way the DLC ended was kinda annoying; the story didn't wrap up cleanly, (the ending didn't seem right for a DLC), and cutscenes seemed vague or odd. (Did the giant blue Lyrium rock disappear or shrink down to form the rock wraith core?) The gameplay was okay, but the battles with respawning enemies were annoying, and why did there have to be collectibles side quests? =/ Price-wise, $15 U.S is overkill. If Hakkon is $15, then this is $7 due to the linear area and weaker story, but BioWare DLC rarely (if not never) goes on sale (based on Mass Effect 2 & 3 and Dragon Age 2), so $15 it is. 206.121.25.50 (talk) 22:19, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

I didn't like it...at all. I think someone more interested in Dwarven or Lyrium history would undoubtedly find it interesting, but it really was a disappointment. I feel as though they could have thought of several better alternatives in regards to a story that focussed on the Deep Roads; I liked Renn or whatever his name was but that's it. The DLC was surprisingly challenging: the final boss frustrated me in particular, and the enemy respawns pissed me off, especially since they were pretty formidable. As someone who's particularly enthused in the overall lore of the series, this DLC did nothing in that regards, for me. Also, the grunts looked pretty meh.

Also, I would really like someone to justify the price of the DLC. Can someone do that? Overall: you could probably watch an entire play through on Youtube at some point; there were barely any cutscenes, and the ending was freaking bad. If I could score it, probably a 6/10, the 6 largely being given for the excuse to get me back in Thedas/Deep Roads. Enjoyable at times but very repetitive at others. 22:58, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

By the way you described it, it sounds just like The Golems of Amgarrak, well as far as gameplay goes anyhow. --Liaison Shaw (talk) 23:43, August 12, 2015 (UTC)
