DA2: Questing Alongside Felicia Day

Dragon Age II continues to deliver seemingly rushed content with the latest DLC entitled Mark of the Assassin. This is an ongoing theme from the critically acclaimed Dragon Age II series. Even the developers have noted that some of the landscape art and content was reused a bit much in the Dragon Age sequel, but unfortunately this was not fixed in the last round of updates where most of our adventure takes place in the forest outside of Kirkwall.

That isn’t to say Mark of the Assassin isn’t worth playing. The fourth of many DLC packages to be available for Dragon Age II, Mark of the Assassin puts you alongside the Queen of Geeks, Felicia Day. If you like millions have a small crush on this gaming hottie, the idea of playing alongside her in a roleplaying game, even if only for a few hours, is worth it.
