Not asking this to gloat or to revel in dissatisfacted misery. I just happen to be extremely disappointed with what I've read, heard and seen about Awakening, decided not to purchase it for now, and doubt that I will in the future. Not complaining about the price (Europe), but the bugs, the glitches, the narrative disconnect, the butchered conversation system... *sigh*

Loved Origins to bits, but let's just say that if it was this century's Baldur's Gate, Awakening sure
doesn't look like no Tales of the Sword Coast. How many here feel the same and haven't bought the game? Just curious.

[Wolfaura]

I feel the same. Iam not going to purchase awakening either. It just seems lacking and unpolished.



I loved Origins. But awakening is $50 Aus and that's just too much. Though Origins was $110 it was worth every $. I would of bought it if it was a expansion as in continuing the first. But not interested in a seperate game.

[MrBoomba]

Wait what? how was origins $110?

[Kats_RK]

I didn't get it.Got GOW3

[thegreateski]

Alright . . . 3 things.



1. No I didn't, waiting on a patch.



2. $110? damn.



3. GoW 3 is already out? What, have I been sleeping under a rock?

[Burningwolf]

Awakening is more akin to Icewind dale than tales of the sword coast....I'll let you take that as you will..

[TheMadCat]

I'll pick it up eventually, BioWare getting out another patch and letting me play DA:O once more without crashes, glitches, and the new slide show feature would be a great push towards that direction.

...Bwa?! Tales of the Sword coast is probably the only expansion for any game I regret buying, at all.  The only reason I bother to install it is because it ups the XP cap.  

[Taiko Roshi]

I will wait until it is 1/3 the price and second hand. I will not be giving BW any money for this expansion.

[Sabriana]

I did even more than just read about it, I watched two play-throughs, and played through myself on a friend's machine. I'll not buy it, not yet. I have no urge to do so. My reasons?

1. There is no way that I will download the 1.03 patch.

2. It's far to expensive

3. I hate the dialogue system. I ended up running around with the 'tab' key pressed. And what's with these exclamation marks? I want to talk to my allies, even if I end up clicking 'nevermind'.

4. It's too buggy

5. The whole thing doesn't have a real RPG feel. I simply can't connect to the story and characters properly

6. There are instances where the xpac pulls my favorite game (DA:O) and the characters far too OOC, imo

7. No toolset update yet. I'll wait till the modders get their hands on it. Perhaps some of the most glaring inconsistencies can be fixed.

8. Lack of continuity with imported characters, although that's not an issue with the Orlesian Warden.

[Swordfishtrombone]

Based on the comments I've read on it, I'm in no hurry to buy it, but probably will eventually, when it's in the bargain bin.

[mosspit]

Same here. While DAO is fantastic, it feels like it is being pushed out as a "platform" to host all the quick dlcs and now this expansion. Not to fault gamers who like them but this is my personal take.

Plus the glaring bugs and lack of support. I mean this is the first game that makes me relunctant to patch without getting feedback from others. (Yes, im still on patch 1.02). Makes you really realise what the priorities the developer has. And how short sighted it is to ignore quality and reputation.

Had no intention of buying it for $50 Australian but managed to pick it up on ebay for $22. Haven't started playing it yet so have no comment about its quality, bugs etc.

[Spitz6860]

you gotta give some credit to Australian gamers, you pay extra money for games and get less games because of that weird age rating system.



back to the topic, at this point it would be somewhat unwise to acquire Awakening, wait until the price drops to 30$ and a patch comes out, i only bought it because i got the coupon code that gives me 20$ off.

[Weiser_Cain]

No and I kind of regret buying the main game as I think it would have been wiser to wait and see if there's a goty version.

[Mlai00]

***Proudly raises hand. >:- {



I'll buy it when it's patched correctly.

[Obtusifolius]

I won't even bother buying it second hand.

[Onix Sunstone]

Its well worth a look but dont over pay for it ofc, still if assu main game was $110 then $50 for expantion is maybe right, £30 UK here for a full game £15 expantion still 50% less & was plenty for that money, its bigger than most full games.



The bad forum post helped lower my expectations making it seem all the better, I knew some DLC items didnt go but loads did so was happy, Only new bug I noticed was the stealing bug witch dont hurt in DAA cos there so much gold but is a real pain in DOA stupid 1.03 patch witch dont realy make sence as DAA isnt at anytime attached to DAO world.



Im assuming your not all morons & you know by now the loadest forum majority is always the whiners & most complaint post are just crying warden set & dead char back over & over, other radome complains could easy be caused from mods. Then its fanbois & there have no problems of any kind so just read between the lines.



Time the game lasts is down to the player imo, I get 15-20+ out of DAA cos I dig out ever detail/quest the game has to offer. Iv just started ME1 & even in that I can see I could just do the main lines & in DAO & both could last as little as 5-10 hour I suspect but Id buy HL if I just wanna blast content.



Im no fanboy also the games riddled with minor bugs that as a player you do seem to easly over look cos the story kept you to involed & Bioware constaly miss big stand out opotunities to make something even better.



All my char choices seemed to carry over & because spoliers you cant say much but there was more connection mentioned or witness then I was expacting after reading forums.



If you can get it for ok money e.g half the price of a new full game you shouldnt be dissapointed, im on PC version BTW so truely dunno if the consol version are ok bug wise.



I think this is the last time I can bother trying to counter all the whiners & you notice alot have already given up cos we got games to play wile the whiner aint so get off the fence & get ya self some more game time ow & if you do & find its decent take up the banner here fighting the nonsence posts there still poeple out there that might miss out on a very good not awsome expantion of your wardens world.

[ThePasserby]

I have no intention of buying this so-called expansion as long as it remains over-priced at 40 dollars.

[frostajulie]

I will not buy a game that has so many bugs in it that is apparently due to lazy coders. It is sad that members of this very forum are the ones that have to go through the game code and fix the bugs the company was paid to fix before releasing the game. From what I read the code was sloppy and the fixes while time consuming are not hard to fix at all. It ticks me off that even Origins isn't the game it was supposed to be on my XBOX. Add to the fact that the expansion is as much as the original game and there is no interaction with my previous party and this game is just not worth my time, money or effort.



So no I did not buy it and I will probably not buy it especially since I want to stay away from patch 1.03. Admittedly this is not a problem yet since I don't play on my current PC but my new one arrives in June and I will play the shyt out of DA:O on that, but not awakenings.

He means God of War 3 not Gears of War 3. I assume you got the two confused I may be wrong.

Good grief, never going there then, paid $80AU at Game Traders (PC version)... as for Awakenings, I'm just not sure about this one at all, especially for $50 AU... I'll wait for DA2 and hope for some greatly improved visuals.

I'll just wait for an actual stable patch an access to the expansion's sources for modders. That way we can actually fix half the stuff wrong with this expansion.
