Dragon Age II Lowtown Profiled

The “World” section on BioWare’s official Dragon Age II website has been updated with a small amount of information and a couple of pieces of concept art for Lowtown, a seedy section of Kirkwall that will no doubt lead us into the Darktown sewer tunnels mentioned below:

A newcomer to the city of Kirkwall will find Lowtown a vast maze of shantytowns and labyrinthine corridors, all clustered around the busy man-made harbor. Lowtown is literally a pit where the slaves were once quartered, but residents comfort themselves with the thought that as poor off as they are, they are still not the worst in Kirkwall. That honor belongs to those who have descended into “Darktown”, the nickname given to the truly desperate who have taken refuge in the city’s sewer tunnels.
