    I'm willing to forgive Witch Hunt's long list of faults for one reason and one reason only; it provided me with a good final ending to my character and Morrigan. Obviously this means I'm a huge softy but at least I didn't cry when Sephiroth died. Take that!

    How could the once great Bioware produce game that were suddenly getting blasted with red review scores? It all seemed to start soon after they were sucked into the 'Evil Empire, EA. They started to add something to their games called DLC. Presumably these letters stand for 'Done Like Crap'. Because they sure were. Almost every bit of DLC for Dragon Age and Mass Effect was a rip-off plainHow could the once great Bioware produce game that were suddenly getting blasted with red review scores? It all seemed to start soon after they were sucked into the 'Evil Empire, EA. They started to add something to their games called DLC. Presumably these letters stand for 'Done Like Crap'. Because they sure were. Almost every bit of DLC for Dragon Age and Mass Effect was a rip-off plain and simple. Some of it offered overpowered items. Some of it offered a couple of hours of game time. None of it evolved the game in question. For Dragon Age, a largely plot driven game, the DLC was lamentably bad. Please remember that in my new scoring system 5/10 0/10 in the old reckoning. Let's hope if Bioware continues with DLC in the future they eventually learn to make it worthwhile for the PLAYERS, not just a way of ripping-off their customers.

    THE GROT REVIEW CRITERIA: After a long time writing reviews like an anus, think its time to set a few bad habits straight: Stop insulting designers. Show some respect for the design process and getting games in circulation. Hence (1) No Red scores. (2) Game scores as follows: Bad Game 5/10. Poor Game 6/10. Mediocre Game: 7/10. Good Game 8/10. Great game 9/10. Stella Game 10/10. To get 10/10 it must be a game that can be (theoretically) play-able for 1000+ hours. Not only great but near endless fun. Games may be bad or poor but making them should earn respect. Thus even the worst POS will still be a 5/10. 0/10 no longer exists in my vocabulary. Yellow is the new red.

    This DLC was below my expectations by a mile! I was really looking forward to seeing Morrigan again, who was my favorite character in Origins. For one it was short. Judging the DLC by itself it was seemlingly pointless. The end was it's saving grace when you finally catch up to her and have a conversation that could have gone multiple ways I think. The idea that what decision was madeThis DLC was below my expectations by a mile! I was really looking forward to seeing Morrigan again, who was my favorite character in Origins. For one it was short. Judging the DLC by itself it was seemlingly pointless. The end was it's saving grace when you finally catch up to her and have a conversation that could have gone multiple ways I think. The idea that what decision was made at the end might have greater meaning in a later Dragon Age game is what ultimately sways me to the score I am giving it. I'm sorry to say I could not give better than that.… Expand

    Witch Hunt's lazily recycled assets, poorly-written stories and meaninglessly unsatisfying ending fail miserably to even justify its own existence as a DLC.

    This isn't a total disaster, but it does not feel like much love or effort has gone into it either. [Dec 2010, p.64]

    If you're willing to spend money to see Morrigan again for about five minutes and get an unsatisfactory explanation of what's been going on, then you should buy Witch Hunt.

    The presence of well constructed brand new characters is totally eclipsed by an unsatisfactory finale and recycled settings.
