Reactions: New Dragon Age DLC to answer Morrigan’s mystery

Finally, some DLC I care about. If you know me then you know that I am loath to waste $5-$10 on forgettable, meaningless, tacked-on content. But $7 to find out what really happened to one of the most interesting characters in my favorite game of 2009? Sign me up! The description on BioWare’s website gives a vague idea of what to expect:

The dreaded Archdemon has been slain and the advance of the darkspawn halted by a lone, heroic Grey Warden. The kingdom rejoices, but at least one question remains: what happened to Morrigan? The sorceress joined the Wardens cause, but it is said her true purpose was not revealed until the eve of the last battle. She vanished into the shadows, and while rumors claimed she crossed over the mountains into Orlais no trace of her path could be found. She was never heard from again… until now. Nearly a year has passed since the Archdemon’s death, and word has reached the Wardens that Morrigan has returned to Ferelden. She has been sighted in the southern wilderness where she was first encountered. Is it truly her? If it is, then why has is she here and what secret does she carry with her? The Warden heads into the forest to find out and tie up this last loose end once and for all.

Players will be able to import their Origins or Awakening characters for this final confrontation with the dark sorceress come September 7th on both the Xbox 360 and PS3. And while BioWare promised two years of DLC for Dragon Age: Origins, “Witch Hunt” is being billed as the “dramatic conclusion to the Origins storyline.” Pair that with the March release of Dragon Age II and I’d say BioWare should be a little more cautious about public commitments in the future. Still, I’m totally buying this.
