Why is it, whether it's a professional review or a user review, like the one above, that no one wants to tell you that one you leave the Keep after the battles, YOU CANNOT GO BACK IN!!!!! The merchant and storage chest, mentioned about, is OUTSIDE the Keep in the Courtyard, it is freezing with snow everywhere and although the merchants have a huge bonfire, it is ridiculous they are outside and not inside an empty keep!

Ask the merchant about a Mage you left behind and he'll say that the Mage hasn't bothered him, implying the merchant has been inside! In other words, even after you know you cannot go back in the game still pretends you can!

Every bit of marketing and trailers for this DLC implied you got to own the Keep, which by it's implication means you can walk around inside of it as much as you want!

So it's bad enough that you finish the quest in an hour, but if you don't have a high level rogue or don't look in every nook and cranny, any chest you cannot open or anything you missed is lost forever!

One conversation you have with the final boss includes him asking why you're there. You can respond that you're here to take ownership of the Keep. That is the last moment where you're still thinking about every room you have fought through and wondering if you can store things in that chest or this crate.

I doubt i'll be going back to the Warden's Keep until a mod comes along that lets you back in. There are other merchants I can go to as well as blacksmiths, and thanks to a Bioware developer, there is a free mod that spawns a storage chest at the camp!

I see no reason at all for this Warden's Keep mod, especially if you paid good money for it! Get the free storage chest mod and forget about this DLC until a mod comes along that improves it dramatically. Having played through it there is no doubt this should have been part of the game, and (until the mod appeared) to force people to get this because it was the only way to get storage was despicable!

But why has no one mentioned about not getting back in? It's not a spoiler because it tells you nothing about the story! This info needs to be spread far and wide, so that more people are not succoured into spending £5/$7 for this rip-off!
