i'm thinking about getting it and i wonder how it compares to awakenings in length, dialogue, items.
also, did anyone get leliana's story?
thanks. (i may just get it anyway.)

Awakening is an expansion pack. Leliana's Song and GOA are both DLCs, so they're much smaller. I played Leliana's Song, and it was okay. It started out fun but then ended with nothing but combat (and the story wasn't exactly captivating because we already knew how it would go).

I've played the Secrets of Amgarrak, the story is fun, ( kind of a horror/mystery involving a team of dwarves lost in an ancient thaig while trying to uncover knowledge about golem manufacturing)
It has a fun puzzle/maze sequence and REALLY challenging battles if you play the game on hard/nightmare...
I also liked that it kind of implements one of the choices you have made in the original campaign (regarding the dwarven King) if you use your previous character (which you really should do btw if you are about to play it in an advanced difficulty setting)
The only flaw, something which is the case for most of these new DLCs is that there is simply too much combat for an RPG...it reminds me a little of icewind dale 2, if you know what I mean...

Given the chance, I would also want to point out that there is a slight flaw in the walkthrough regarding the Golem notes, the second " Mechanics note is NOT found in the green golem room, during the green phase.

Btw, I did not like Golems of Amgarrak DLC at all. I thought it was under-motivated and tedious, and I never want to see "rainbow exploring" again.

I felt that it was very tedious. However, I thought that it was difficult enough for me to be unable to solo.
It seems to be a trend with Dragon Age DLCs, that they are mainly focused around combat. Hopefully Witch Hunt won't disappoint.
