Last Dragon Age: Origins DLC To Address Morrigan's Departure

Guess we won't have to wait until Dragon Age II.

One last bit of paid downloadable content is coming to Dragon Age: Origins, and it's set to answer one of the biggest questions users had after chopping the head off of Ferelden's latest Blight: what's up with Morrigan?

Taking place a year after the fight with the Archdemon that closed the game's original storyline, "Witch Hunt" will allow adventurers and their crews to "confront" Morrigan after her mysterious departure. It will also address Morrigan's deep dark secret--the reason she decided to join up with the hero to begin with.

Witch Hunt will take place in a fresh, heavily forested area, as well as what appears to be a man-made cavern (go figure). The forest looks like it has a small dragon kin problem, while the cave-thing appears to be infested with skeleton-things or ghouls (again, go figure). 

    

No Caption Provided
 
Developer BioWare is promising that players of Witch Hunt will "earn powerful rewards"  that can be used in Awakening and Origins proper. This is in addition to learning of Morrigan's secrets, of course, which are priceless. Also, if you want to start from scratch with a new character, apparently you'll be able to do that.

The DLC hits September 7 across all three of the game's platforms and will be sold for seven bucks (or 560 Moon Bucks on the PC and Xbox 360). BioWare is suggested that this the last bit of content for the RPG, which makes sense since Dragon Age II is well on its way.

I'm looking forward to this. After reading a little about Dragon Age 2, I was afraid we'd never find out what Morrigon was really up to.

Oh lord. 
I am never, ever going to finish Dragon Age. Ever. 
 
If this were a Bethesda game, yeah, I'd be okay with that. 
 
But goddammit, no. Fuck no. I want to find out how all this rolls out. I fucking need to
 
I just don't have 150 hours just kicking around.

I smell an attempt to cover up game continuation / crossover issues that may have arisen from a late change to Dragon Age 2's game style.

At least this dlc isn't priced to gouge, unlike the Shadow Broker.  Of course, I'll still be getting both, STUPID BIOWARE.

Sept. 7th seems to be a big day for Bioware DLC with the Shadowbroker DLC for ME2 coming out the same day.

More than likely since Flemeth looks to play a large role in DA2. "
What if I killed her?

actually I've heard atleast part of Dragon Age 2 is concurrent with Dragon Age 1.  Like you see Lothering get wiped out and stuff.  No idea if it goes past the first game or whatever, but yeah.....

Now I have to install DAO on my PS3 with all the DLCs again. :O
This sounds very interesting. I've always wondered what happened to Morrigan after the main story.

I hope this allows an option for a happily ever after ending with Morrigan.   I  . . . uh . . .  I mean, the Warden was pretty upset when Morrigan left.

I just bought Awakenings (haven't unwrapped it yet) and now they finally announced some DLC that I find super compelling.  Gonna play this before starting Awakenings if the stuff is compatible :).

Now I won't have worry about Dragon Age II since everything from Origins will be resolved. Good job Bioware.

I can't say as I am too excited about this. Most of the DragonAge DLC has been unimpressive. Having bought the XBoX copy of the game I still have trouble with the file corruption, so it doesn't matter how much this DLC might be awesome

Id buy this just to listen to more Morrigan Voice Acting. Or I could play Uncharted 2 I suppose.

My character did not make it to Awakenings, and I wasn't able to transfer my dead Warden's story into the following game, so it just made up who was the King for me, etc.  Now I'll be pissed if my Orlesian Warden finds Morrigan and she doesn't recognize the love she shared with my original character, despite the fact that he didn't give her a child. 
 
And, if I change my old Warden's ending, he'll be naked because he was wearing Warden's Keep armor, dammit Bioware.
 
Oh, also spoilers.

I am just before the final boss fight in Dragon Age so what happened to Morrigan is still fresh.
 
Bioware should have just focused on story DLC because that's what people care about really.  The only DLC I'll buy are the ones that are both oddly addressing my lover's fates in both games (Morrigan and Liara).  Interesting how that turned out.
 
Either way more items never interest me in DLC anyway, I want more story and it looks like Bioware is finally delivering.

Nooo because Dragon Age 2 begins in Lothering just before it's destroyed. It will go further through the times past Origins, but what's certain is Hawke is well already an adult near the beginning of the Origins story.

Yeah, I read that on another post so I deleted my post, it seems you quoted just in time. ;)  Thanks for the heads up though.
