"Dragon Age: Inquisition The Jaws of Hakkon" DLC Review

Publisher:  Bioware

Genre:  RPG

Summary:  A hostile tribe makes the investigation into the last Inquisitor's death and resting place more difficult.

Gameplay:  Gameplay is the same as the rest of the game, but restricted to higher levels (somewhat to my annoyance, as there is no in-story reason), and there is a new ability available for the main character after a certain quest.  Unlike the rest of the game (but like other DLC), enemies level with you.

Style:  The Frostback Basin area is gorgeous, with an interesting variety of locations ranging from vibrant multicolored swamps to cliff-side Viking-like villages to frozen ancient ruins.

Story:  The Jaws of Hakkon tells a great story that enriches Thedas' past and lore, expanding on a culture and area of history not touched on much previously and adding interesting characters in past and present.  There is plenty to explore in the Frostback Basin, but smaller side quests and stories easily can be ignored if that is your preference.
