Dragon Age II: Legacy and the Question do you DLC?

Yesterday marked this "official" announcement of the newest DLC pack for Dragon Age II, a game which I thoroughly enjoyed, if not as much as Origins. The basic premise is that a very powerful darkspawn (evil corrupted creatures which act as a blight on the land if you haven't played the games) has been sealed away by powerful magic in a Grey Warden prison, but the spell that held it is finally degrading, and of course your character Hawke, is somehow irrevocably connected. This darkspawn shown in the trailer looks similar to the Architect, for those of you who have played the Awkening expansion from the first game, so it's possible that he was not the only one of his kind, which certainly means big problems for Thedas.

This is an exciting DLC for a lot of gamers since it takes you outside of the main city Kirkwall which you don't get to leave during the main campaign. Bioware has said that the DLC can be played at any point during the game, and if you're playing after an endgame save it takes place just before the climax of the game. Unfortunately for those of us on PS3, we'll have to wait a little longer for the release, likely because the development and quality checking on the content is still feeling the delay from the PSN outage.
