Hmm this expansion ties directly into the ending of the game. No matter what you do, the Grey Wardens of Ferelden are granted Amaranthine as their land to rebuild the order. This expansion puts you in the role of the Grey Warden Commander of Ferelden in charge of rebuilding the order. Depending on how you played the original quest you can bring you existing character over or play a Grey Warden from Orlais. 5 new party members plus one returning character (Morrigan?). This expansion certainly sounds worth the cost. Especially since it raises the level cap, has new specializations and skills etc. It sounds like a new game. If this DLC is as good as it sounds, it is DLC done right. Speaking of DLC, The Return to Ostagar was released today. I have to DL it when I get home from work.
