Dragon Age: Origins Thirst Mod Beta Now Available

Our very own Eric Schwarz continues to chisel away on his 10-20 hour Thirst campaign for Dragon Age: Origins, with the choice and consequence-focused fan expansion officially reaching beta earlier today. The add-on is now content complete and fully playable, but Eric warns that there are some rough edges that he’ll be patching out as he marches onward to final release:

Thirst is a Dragon Age module focused on choice and consequence. It is a stand-alone campaign designed around non-canon story elements, but integrated into the existing Dragon Age lore.

Set in the trade city of Arceris, ruled by the mysterious Council of Six and tyrannized by the criminal mastermind Bloodblade, you play a recent arrival to the city who soon finds him or herself trapped there as an embargo comes into effect. Using your unique skills and abilities, you will uncover a conspiracy at the heart of the city and decide its fate!

FEATURES:

– A whole city to explore! Over 50 new areas await you within the city of Arceris, from the bustling Market District, to the fetid Arceris Slums.

– Thirst’s story moves forward as you help characters in the world solve their problems, your connections growing as you move up the ranks of its society. Optional and main quests interact to open up new opportunities… or close them off.

– New character backgrounds! If you ever felt that Dragon Age’s choices in backgrounds were limiting, Thirst gives you the option to pick up the sword again as a Retired Soldier, explore civilization for the first time as a Survivalist, or use deception and subterfuge as a Swindler, each with their own dialogue options and starting stats.

– Between 10-20 hours of gameplay! Thirst is both large and highly replayable, with multiple solutions to every problem and decisions that affect how the story plays out.

DISCLAIMER:

This version of Thirst is a beta of the full mod. Thirst is content-complete and fully playable, however, you may encounter bugs, a few rough edges.
