Nitram, my wonderful husband, purchased two of the new DLC: "Leliana's Song" and "Golems of Agorbash" (sp).

OMG, these are fantastic. "Golems" you may import your character from Origins or Awakenings. I highly suggest importing the Awakenings version, as even on Easy setting there are several places we wound up surrounded by angry Golems and lost nearly all the party.

"Golems" is a very spooky 'haunted house', with a LOT of nasty critters and some really great loot. It's also a brain teaser: the doors are blocked by lyrium, and there is a very tricky mechanic to getting around. Nitram was totally spooked, as the boss monster makes many little appearances, similar to the first glimpse of a Licker in ResEvil 2. 8/10, for the challenge, mechanics, and storyline.

"Lelaina's Song" starts out as a fun kick-ass, cause trouble romp through Denerim. Then the real story with Marjorline starts. Again, lots of really great loot, and a good look at the new voice acting function BioWare will be using for DA-2. The choice you make no longer leads to a 'tree' of choices, but simply directs the conversation down a set recording. 7/10 for the amusing storyline and the loot. Rather generic DragonAge quests otherwise, so get it only if you really want to know the backstory with Leliana.

Final ring in.

Witch Hunt - Warden and your Dog from origins(Or a new one, if you cads never brought him along), go searching for Morrigan for whatever reason you have. Dalish Elven secrets uncovered, etc.

Not even close to the challenge of Golems, but still a brawl from the word go, with some unique puzzles and fight mechanics. Depending on how you feel on re-using previous locations, you may like or hate the walk through some familiar places: Dalish origin ruins, Circle's Repository, Cadash Thaig, and the Awakening's zone Dragonbone Wastes.

8/10, with bonus points for shout-outs to DA2(Two mages discussing Kirkwall, mentions of Flemeth's survival), Awakenings(Dragonbone Wastes, plus the tale of Ander's first escape), and Firefly(Vera and the /hat/.).
