Dragon Age: Origins The Darkspawn Chronicles DLC Review

The Darkspawn Chronicles apparently didn’t earn any fans over at Eurogamer, as they’ve awarded the Dragon Age: Origins DLC a dismal score of 4/10. Here’s the final paragraph of their two-page review:

So, another Dragon Age episode, another hour that just offers the bare minimum of gaming, another shrug of disappointment. Of course, there’s a very boring practical reason for this: new stories need writers, voice actors and animators, all of which cost time and money. A quick loot grind through an existing map? That’s a far more economical prospect. They can’t all be Awakenings, of course, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that only the very naive will still be holding out for lovingly crafted bite-sized stories in future instalments. For a narrative powerhouse like BioWare, that seems like a terrible waste.
