'Dragon Age: Inquisition' news: DLC has lots of features but they come at a price

It appears that the next DLC for "Dragon Age: Inquisition" will be here sooner than fans think.

News of the third DLC surfaced courtesy of a leak on the Bioware forums. The leak came in the form of a survey and revealed that the upcoming free content will be the last and will tie off the popular roleplaying video game nicely.

The DLC is described as the "last adventure" gamers will have in "Dragon Age" and one that will decide how the video game will end as gamers ultimately face off against the evil that spawned in the world of Thedas.

Of course, it goes without saying that reports of leaks or spoilers should always be taken with a grain of salt. But whether this is legitimate news or not, the survey hints at certain things.

An alleged synopsis of the DLC informs gamers that their next task, after having closed the Breach, will determine what will happen to the Inquisition.

"Your mark suddenly glows, erupting with magic connected to the Fade. Assassins attack in shadow. An invasion of enemies begins. Win a race against time to face a great evil before it is too late," reads the rest of the synopsis.

The survey even mentioned some new features that Eurogamer was nice enough to list down in bullet points. Some of these features hint at -

* gamers being required to "test your mettle against the full force of the disciplined and battle-hardened Qunari army"

*there are new and diverse areas that have to be explored as one fights the opponent across Thedas

* players will also "uncover secrets of the Fade" that will hopefully help them navigate that world

* a new, challenging gameplay mode will be introduced

But perhaps the most important information that can be gleaned from that leak is that this DLC will set gamers back a whopping $15. This will undoubtedly generate a lot of grumblings as some full games already cost anywhere between $15 to $60. So a DLC that costs almost as much as a full game better have some pretty impressive features.
