The newest piece of DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition (review), is swooping in quite suddenly, much like a dragon you never see coming until it has already begun frying you to a toasty crisp. The DLC, The Descent, much like the movie of the same name, takes place deep underground, amid the Deep Roads, and it will be available early next week (just after the public holiday, in fact).

However, unlike that similarly named survival horror movie, in the DLC you and your team are not on a vacation, instead investigating the source of earthquakes. And, while you may take comfort in the fact that you won’t have to deal with mutated creatures with a taste for human flesh, your respite is short lived, since the bowels of the Earth in this DLC are populated by Darkspawn.  

As you can see from the video below, just because you are going underground doesn’t mean it’s all close quarters and claustrophobia for you – the vistas are actually quite majestic, reminding more than a little of The Fellowship of the Ring’s journey into the Dwarven enclave.
