Golems of Amgarrak released today and after dusting off my Cousland, I tore through the new DLC. From what I had read about the release I didn’t exactly expect to tear through it so to say, but soon I was watching the credits and looked back and wondered where the DLC went. This short, punchy package delivered flares of challenges in a nice visual package, but felt shallow in terms of story. Check out the full, spoiler-free review below.
With Golems of Amgarrak set to release tomorrow, we’ll take a look at some additional lore that was released in the BioWare wiki regarding Caridin, the golems, House Dolvish and Amgarrak itself. This background information will help you better understand the history behind the powerful golems and the lost thaig of Amgarrak far in the Deep Roads.

For those of you who have finished the Leliana’s Song DLC, I hope you will find this post thought-provoking and I would love to hear your own comments on how your impression of Leliana changed (or didn’t) after completing the campaign. For those who have not yet played this episode, I will try not to spoil too much, but if you care about such things, I’d highly advise playing through before reading this. I would hate to color your impressions before they’ve had a chance to form on their own.
A big point of focus for BioWare in Dragon Age 2 is going to be refining and defining the art style. The developers themselves have admitted they weren’t completely satisfied with the look of Dragon Age: Origins. Art director Matt Goldman sat down for a lengthy interview on how the art team is overhauling the look of the upcoming game to make it instantly recognizable and deeply ingrained into the world itself.
Last week’s news beat was dominated by Dragon Age 2 previews, but this week, the focus has shifted toward the upcoming Golems of Amgarrak DLC release. The new package drops Tuesday and has been promised to be a challenging module that should push even seasoned players. Outside of Golems news, the Qunari get a new look, BioWare developers speak, and our staff took looks at the political situation in the world and how choices you made with your Warden can affect DA2.
Yesterday we got a glimpse of Jerrik Dace, who has called for the Wardens’ help in the search and rescue mission to the lost thaig of Amgarrak. Today, BioWare posted details about his missing younger brother, who was one of many lost in an excursion in the Deep Roads. Jerrik is certain his brother didn’t just disappear and is leading the search for him – a sign of a relationship not shared by many siblings of the dwarven nobility.
