Continues the story in Orlais Amaranthine. Badass Skeletor dude looks badass.

I really hope they manage the high level game play better than other titles (COUGH Hordes of the Underdark COUGH).

EDIT: I can't read and the game actually takes place in Amaranthine NOT Orlais

Ive always wanted to see Orlais. Im excited.

Way too expensive though.

It's Amaranthine, not Orlais. Or is Amaranthine a part of Orlais? It's not clear in the full description. I assumed Orlais will be the setting of the full sequel.

Edited: In the full description it says you can start from as a grey warden from the neighboring land in Orlais. So it's not in Orlais.

Comment on trailer under spoilers:

I wonder how the expansion works letting you import your character if either you sacrificed yourself or let Alistair sacrifice himself, since he's apparently there too. Does the game force you into the old god baby scenario?

Also, apparently the big adversary is from some fiction book in the game setting that I haven't read.

Okay, read it wrong. You can make a new character that is FROM Orlais, but the game takes place in Amaranthine.

That's slightly less cool.

Im very sad now.

Oh well. That is an interesting question. Will the game work differently depending on which characters died? Also what if Alistair took over as king?
