    The Good: Finn and Ariane, the new companions who join the Warden on this adventure, are interesting and amusing. Their dialogue is the highlight of this DLC.

    The Meh: Combat is boring and unchallenging; the sole new creature comes from the development of DA2. Areas are all reused from Origins and Awakening.

    The Meh: Combat is boring and unchallenging; the sole new creature comes from the development of DA2. Areas are all reused from Origins and Awakening. This gives the whole experience an air of the tired and predictable. It really doesn't feel like a lot of effort was put into the DLC.

    The Bad: It is extremely short. Also, for a DLC that was billed to be about Morrigan, and offered the chance to resolve the Warden's situation with her and gain answers, it failed woefully. On release, it was bugged so as not to recognise all the decisions the Warden made at the end of Origins (so Morrigan would react as if your actions had been different to what you actually did, in many cases). The bug has since been fixed, however. Only a tiny proportion of the game's already minuscule play length were spent with Morrigan at the end, and they were very unsatisfying to my (female) Warden, providing no closure whatsoever. (Male Wardens who romanced Morrigan do get a chance for closure, but I guess I was just unlucky enough to play the "wrong" gender and romance the "wrong" companions?)    … Expand

    Completely unsatisfying. My main character from Dragon Age: Origins romanced Morrigan, so I was really looking forward to some closure on multiple loose ends. Boy did I not find it. Witch Hunt is boring, full of recycled material and not even worth the few dollars I spend on it. Goddammit.

    Despite some small bugs and two somewhat open endings, Witch Hunt proves to be a fine DLC that should't disappoint any fan of the series. If you're a fan of the game and look forward to a decent conclusion to the fantasy saga told until now, look no further.

    But as the last of Dragon Age's downloadable expansions, Witch Hunt closes out the story with more of a whimper than a bang. [Nov 2010, p.81]
