Dragon Age 2: Mark of the Assassin - Review
"Life is like a box of chocolates," opined lovable simpleton Forrest Gump. "Yuh nevah know wutcher gunner get." He might have been talking about life in the 1960s and how going to Vietnam could make you a shrimp millionaire, while thinking for yourself and protesting gives you AIDS, but he could just as easily have been talking about the downloadable content for BioWare RPGs. On balance, it was probably the first one, but that doesn't offer a clumsy segue into a games review, so let's stick with the second.
Because in the chocolate box of DLC, BioWare's output is more variable than most. For every rich, creamy Lair of the Shadow Broker there's a hard, bitter Darkspawn Chronicles . Thankfully, Mark of the Assassin is definitely a delicious treat rather than tasteless stodge.
Things kick off with an ambush in which Hawke and the gang are attacked by assassins. Luckily, another assassin turns up to help you out. She's Tallis, a spunky elven killer, and she's got a favour to ask. An Orlesian duke has an ancient artefact that doesn't belong to him and she's on a mission to get it back. This being an RPG, you're going with her.
Review: Dragon Age 2: Mark of the Assassin
. Mark of the Assassin takes us to the land of Orlais on the hunt for the “Jewel of the Many” being held in a private mansion of a powerful man.
Varric sets the tone early. “Let me set the scene. An invitation, an ambush, all because of Tallis.” And that’s pretty much it. The story has interesting twists and viewpoints, but overall it leaves you bewildered with unanswered questions instead of craving for more. The DLC opens up and drags you along for the experience. Although I was disappointed with the beginning of the story, I was wonderfully amazed by the entire experience. The story takes you from hunting for wyverns in the field, mingling with nobles, to infiltrating a castle. You may think that this is Dragon Age: Kasumi’s Lost Memories, but that is kind of a misrepresentation.
When you get into the swings of things, you immediately hit a few roadblocks. You’re supposed to be on a wyvern hunt, but the way they designed the environment that you’ll have to explore feels very sparse. It felt like I was on a picnic rather than a scene depicting an extravagant hunt for bragging rights....
Dragon Age II: Mark of the Assassin Review | Reviews | ZTGD
Hawke returns in the second piece of DLC for Dragon Age II, and this time he’s brought along a new friend. A knife-eared assassin named Tallis leads our hero on a mission to the oft spoke of, but heretofore unseen, land of Orlais for a quest that runs the gamut from hunt to heist. A collection of cool new enemies to slay and loot to collect pads out the $10 asking price for this one, but the lackluster story and setting, compared to the last piece of DLC, left me wanting a bit more.
The story of Mark of the Assassin begins simply enough. Following a lead from a friend of our favorite story telling dwarf, Varric, Hawke and his merry band of murderers find themselves at the center of an ambush. The odds seem drastically against them, until a strange elven assassin rushes in and mops the floor with our hero’s attackers. Of course (because it’s Dragon Age) she doesn’t do this out of the kindness of her heart, but because she needs Hawke’s help. It seems Hawke’s been invited to a party/hunt/all around good ole’ time by an Orleisian noble and Tallis wants to tag along. You see, she wants to steal a jewel back from this noble, and she can’t do it alone. This is the setup for Mark of the Assassin, and while the story winds through some twists and turns, it didn’t grab me like the story for Legacy did.
