Be a Bad Guy in Darkspawn Chronicles DLC for Dragon Age

Y'know, as cool as this sounds, I have no idea how it's going to work.
Dragon Age lives and dies on dialogue scenes. It's a Bioware RPG, that's what they do. The combat, on console at least, is bona-fide dreadful.
How on Thedas is playing a Darkspawn going to work with this?

So... whats the story? you are a generic badguy without personality that spawn more generic badguys without personality and kill the good guys? If they do that, i will go back to dungeon keeper. If they ad an story and DECISSIONS like in the main game i'll see what i do.
400 gamerpoint dlc eh... I've played quite a bit of dlc in my time and as a rule dlc packs and arcade games get charged at 800. This is a price microsoft is happy with and they only let the price drop lower when the deal is meant for impulse buys. Unless you really love avatar gear you might understand that impulse buys are all shit. So going by microsoft standards this will be shit because nobody who knows about it would bother paying for it.
The other side is if EA and Bioware decided on the price in which case it will be shit. Going by the Dragon age track record Return to Ostagar cost this much and was incredibly short, the stone prisoner was overpriced if you didn't get it for free and Awakenings was 3200 for a 14 hour linear campaign. So whether we compare it to the set value of Ostagar or the divided time investment of Awakenings we can reach a few conclusions.
This will be short, it will use entirely recycled enemies, character models and locations, there will be no challenge for anyone who bought awakenings or anyone using a mage in the original the reward will be a short lived gimmick which alters nothing in the gameplay. Also going by the glitch record, the release glitches will remain.
To anyone who is thinking of buying this always remember that the arcade games and deals of the weak are the only good deals you will get and will always be better than dlc.

This is a joke, right? Awakening is practically a broken game and they are making a DLC thats goes BACK to Origins!? please fix Awakening, thats's all I'm asking. Atleast release a patch or something, anything to show you care!
Well this sounds interesting only I'm not buying it unless it gets a perfect or near perfect 9.5-10, because I have had it up to hear (points at head) with Biowares half-assed DLC's.

I just read the Gamespot interview with Bioware on the new DLC, and I am excited but I have a feeling that this would be cool as a one time thing. My personal feeling is that it is totally awesome to see how the other side lives and kill some peeps in a barbaric fury, but at the same time I sort of don't want to see future DLCs for Dragon Age concentrate on this aspect......I personally would love to see more on the original story....and see more adventure provided for the mighty hero that is the "Grey Warden" and "Warden Commander".
But don't get me wrong I am def. downloading this mofo when it first comes out, and like I said.....it is going to be a blast to play as a darkspawn.......but I think it is a great one time idea and they should concentrate on more main story content after this.
Just my thoughts on the subject.

I just read that to my boyfriend...sad that the PS3 version hasn't been announced yet.
Why does the PS3 lag behind on these things?!
