Dragon Age: Redemption debuts as new DLC for the game is released

By Ryan Fleming October 11, 2011

Behold, Dragon Age fans! Are you beholding? Good. It’s a big day for fans of BioWare’s Dragon Age franchise. For owners of Dragon Age II, a new DLC titled “Mark of the Assassin,” is now available to download on Mac, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The new DLC will introduce the character, party member and slightly murderous elf assassin Tallis, voiced by actress and geek-goddess Felicia Day. Tallis joins Hawke in order to infiltrate an Orlesian estate and steal an ancient, and valuable relic.

The character of Tallis is also the star of the new webseries Dragon Age: Redemption. Written, produced and starring Day as the elf assassin, Tallis has one final shot at redemption when she is tasked by the Qunari with locating and rescuing a mage that recently escaped from a Chantry prison. The series also stars Doug Jones (Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army) as Saarebas.

When it comes to web based series, Day is arguably the reigning queen. Her own series, The Guild, recently completed its fifth season, and she is a recurring guest-star in the Zelda-inspired series, The Legend of Neil. She also co-starred in Joss Whedon’s award winning web-based musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Basically, she is extremely busy on the intertubes.

The first of six episodes debuted today at midnight, and new episodes will air on the Machinima YouTube page every Tuesday at Midnight.

How to start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4

People standing outside Nuka World.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4

A man and a robot walking in the wastelands in Fallout 4.

Each piece of Fallout 4 DLC adds something substantial to the base experience. In the case of the Automatron expansion, an entire new questline pitting you against a robot army led by a figure known as the Mechanist. Starting it isn't as difficult as starting other DLCs like the Nuka-World expansion, but it-s still a bit cryptic. Buying the DLC doesn't automatically make it apparent how to actually start this new adventure, but we'll give you specific directions to find it in the wasteland.

One of 2023’s best indie games is getting a movie starring LaKeith Stanfield

James descends on an elevator in El Paso, Elsewhere.

El Paso, Elsewhere, one of Digital Trends' favorite indie games of 2023, now has a film adaptation in the works.

Variety reports that LaKeith Stanfield -- an actor known for his work in films like Judas and the Black Messiah, Knives Out, and Haunted Mansion, as well as TV shows like Atlanta -- is going to star in and produce the film. The adaptation is in the works at Di Bonaventure Pictures, the production company behind the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and The Meg film franchises. Little else is known about the film at this time, although we'd presume it will be a fairly direct adaptation of this intense story-driven game.
