    To make one thing clear before I start: I liked this DLC, I thought it was allot of fun. However:

    One thing that sticks out from the go is that this new area is pretty damn big, but for its size it really seems to be lacking in content. Or more accurately, quests specific to the area. The main story and some of the side quest are nice, just far too short and not enough. The area really    To make one thing clear before I start: I liked this DLC, I thought it was allot of fun. However:

    One thing that sticks out from the go is that this new area is pretty damn big, but for its size it really seems to be lacking in content. Or more accurately, quests specific to the area. The main story and some of the side quest are nice, just far too short and not enough. The area really feels underused.

    Visually it looks great, but also not that unique. Clearly a mash up of the Emerald Graves, Exalted Plains and Emprise du Lion. It even recycles the minerals from those locations. You can see allot of effort went into the layout, but it seems very little innovation went into the overall design. It would have been nice to be somewhere with its own distinct look and feel. The Frostback Basin just feels like a jumble of existing ideas. But again, this isn't a bad thing, just a shame.

    Story wise it is great. The back story to the Avaar and the original Inquisitor was very well written. But again, a real shame there wasn't more. The is clearly room for more. Also, it is a real shame that the area and its story has absolutely no impact on the central story. It makes the whole experience interesting, but pointless. In many ways allot like the Hissing Wastes.

    Overall:
    Jaw of Haakon is a decent enough DLC that is allot of fun and a welcome addition for players craving more Dragon Age: Inquisition. But in the end it feels like an exercise in quantity over quality. A shame, since you can clearly see that with a bit more story content, it could have been so much better.

    Tip to developers:
    Next DLC wishes:
    Nevarra - A lost Nocropolis - Undead Dragon    … Expand

    Some great fights and a few good storytelling moments keep the expansion from seeming completely toothless, but it's just not as sharp as it should be.

    For fans of Dragon Age, this is a meaty, content-packed piece of DLC that will take a few hours to thoroughly explore, and feels like it naturally slips in with the base game content.
