Default Re: DAO : Awakening - coming so soon!

And I bought it tonight. It's shorter than Warden's Keep and it is a letdown, to be honest. You don't feel like you're in the middle of blight infected land. You just pop up in Ostagar like in the beginning of the game except the place is full of snow. Kill maybe 50 darkspawn spread all over the place and loot the armor pieces off some of them, then it's over. There's one boss fight at the end versus a necromancer darkspawn who summon about 7 or so undead through the fight.

As far as loot goes, the armor is not bad but it's not better than the red dragon armor. The king's sword is a 9 damage one with two rune slots and and a couple of built in of buffs including +9 damage to darkspawns if I remember right. At level 15 I had better stuff.

You also get Duncan's sword and off-hand weapon from the end boss. They're geared toward a rogue kind of character and they're not bad, but I'm not sure they're worth 5$.
