You know how in Gremlins 2, the Gremlins all break into a genetics lab, and they eat all of the weird gene goop and it gives them superpowers like bat wings or vegetable bodies? And remember how one of them drinks like a brain hormone and becomes Brain Gremlin and gets played by Tony Randall? That's kind of what's happening to the Darkspawn in the Dragon Age Origins: Awakening expansion, according to this new trailer.
Of course, we don't know what kind of brain goop they ate -- and they definitely don't sound like Tony Randall -- but they're all called The Disciples and are all smart and talkative now. And evil. As you can see in the various screenshots below, they've got a face only a Gremlin could love. And honestly, while you might play the expansion on March 16 "thinking you know of our kind, human," you're wrong. All they're looking for are things like the Geneva Convention, chamber music, Susan Sontag. That's right: They just want to be civilized.

Ah well...you know...delaystation curse and what not. I'm sure you'll have it by 2011's third quarter at the latest. At least in the meantime, you have Heavy Rain to play and some other cool games, right?

Return to Ostagar is coming to the PC and PS3 on the 11th. It's coming before DAO:Awakening and after Final Fantasy XIII.

They are the original Darkspawn. The very men who sought to usurp the power of the Gods.
They will tell you how they did what they did with good intentions and you will be asked to chose to allow them to continue or destroy them utterly.
And Morigan will be mentioned in one of the loading screens.
Along the way you will meet new people who after being in your party for a given time will ask you to do them a favor. After you have done all the favors for all the new people you may shag one of them. Possibly two. But then you will have to chose.
The End!
Bioware in a nutshell.
I still love them though.
