    [​IMG]The Examiner has made its voice heard on how it views Darkspawn Chronicles, the newest DLC released by BioWare for it's Dragon Age: Origins game. This author seems to have a different viewpoint of the game than many other reviewers:

    "This is a refreshing take on being a hero or anti-hero game everyone knew. This time the player will control a darkspawn, not just any darkspawn but a Hurlock Vanguard, one of the commander of the horde army. The unique thing about this DLC is that as a Vanguard, the player can control any type of darkspawn from the small genlocks to the big sized ogres. The player will encounter the companions the player like Zevran, Leliana, Dog, etc., even the NPCs the player met in the Origins storyline like Arl Eamon, Bann Teagan, Knight-Commander Gregoir, etc. Once every spec of Denerim is tainted and every innocent slain and all Gray Wardens killed, the player is rewarded a new sword (a very nice one at that but only usable by Warrior and Rogue) that can be used in both Origins and Awakening."​

    "This is a refreshing take on being a hero or anti-hero game everyone knew."

    Am I the only one who thinks there is something missing in that sentence?

    Regarding the review itself (thanks for the link by the way) the whole argument is that the end scene is cool and that you can beat the crap out of DAO NPCs. As far as I'm concerned I like the NPCs and the ones that I find irritating at times me can be killed in the original game. ;)
