Bioware announced the contents of the new Dragon Age DLC. The big news? You'll be playing as a Darkspawn, not your Grey Warden you've spent so much time with.The DLC is called Darkspawn Chronicles and you'll be playing as a Hurlock vanguard, (think a Hurlock Alpha but cooler.) The DLC takes place within in alternate timeline, which begins after your hero from Dragon Age: Origins death.
That's right! You can play as one of the uglies!
But what else does it offer other then a look into the dark side? It adds a Darkspawn only ability called enthrall that makes any Darkspawn you use it on join your party. The party maximum is still four, but this means there won't be any party mainstays other then yourself. Possibly a negative, but would you really want to be in constant company of a useless Genlock (the rogues and weakling of the Darkspawn) or make that super cool Ogre (walking death) be your best friend? Once completed it also gives you a Darkspawn item that your character in Dragon Age: Origins/Awakenings can use, giving you a nice little bonus once the DLC finished.
Darkspawn Chronicles will be released May 18th and there is no word on pricing as off yet.
