Weclock: the night before was awesome, we had this huge party where we roasted the last party who came through, I didn't fight them though, it was my first night on the battlefield, with tomorrow being my initiation.
I had been looking forward to this all my life, or, un-life as it were. I had only been born a few weeks ago, as it turns out I was once an adventurer, returned to life by the Darkspawn.
it tooks me some time to regain my strength, it seems now that I must be stronger than I ever was, as my body doesn't appear as if I could physically be a threat to anyone, I am still rather capable.
Some kind of dark magic I suppose.
Today is the day I am to take on my first few adventurers, but the word is that they have been delayed, they should have been here hours ago, but now there's no telling when they'll come, or even if they will ever come. I may never become a full darkspawn without killing someone.. if that happens my body will degenerate and I will die, again..
I must kill, I must destroy. In order to stay strong, someone else must die.

chautemoc: You're a regular David Gaider. ;)

Gundato: Expansion pack is confirmed.

Zeewolf: Sounds very good. And I'm glad it's coming out so soon, I'm really hungry for more Dragon Age, but I'm not going to bother with the DLC as I completed the main game already. With a new story, new party members and a new land to play in this expansion sounds ideal for me.

Weclock: I probably got the mythos all wrong, then again, I don't think we know that much about the dark spawn? I really need to read those codexes.

Navagon: Wait for the inevitable GoTY version. That's my advice. All this DLC bullshit is making my head spin. Hopefully they'll just cram it all into the GoTY version and that will be that.

JonhMan: Exactly what I did with Fallout 3, and exactly what I'm planning on doing with this game.

Andy_Panthro: Depends on the length of the expansion, and the cost. They're quoting $40 as the US price, which would be about �25, which is only �1.99 less than I paid for the full game.

Namur: Darkspawn are not like zombies, they are not dead who return to life. They come from BroodMothers and only females who become BroodMothers make a transition of sorts from human/dwarf/whatever to darkspawn, and death is not a part of the process. Aside from them, darkspawn are born darkspawn.
Or alt least that's how i think it works...

Weclock: I thought some of that before too, but
I'm not entirely sure, although the idea of darkspawn babies is intriguing.

Namur: I didn't read all the codex yet, but i thing the story arch with Oghren's lesbian wife kind of explains how darkspawn breed. Most creepy bit in the game too, that song about how women are turned into BroodMother's.

chautemoc: Fucking loved that part. Never seen that kind of stuff in an RPG before. When it was promoted as a "dark fantasy epic" I figured it was a bunch of crap. But it is and not in a stupid way...in a really sick and real way. Kudos.

Namur: Like everybody keeps saying, it's far from a perfect game, but it sure has some interesting bits in it. Can't wait for the expansion and whatever DLC they come up with.

chautemoc: I really had no complaints aside from the last 10 hours or so. I found after 80-90 hours I didn't really want to play anymore. Not much of a complaint.
