I decided to play a new character all the way through Origins, so I could have a sort of 'Canon' Awakening play through. As such, I've only in the last couple of weeks got to the expansion.  

Flipping Nora it's intense. I've got near to the end and I think I've made all the wrong decisions and I feel utterly awful about it. Origins gave me many moments of heartache and pain, with the soothing balm of victory, friendship and love. Awakening has been relentless in comparison. 

I honestly flailed at all the decisions I had to make. Being the Warden-Commander felt brilliant until all the people started dieing because of my decisions. Very, very brutal. I felt like my character probably would, inexperienced and extremely lacking. 

The result of all of this is an awful mess of death, despair and destruction. Yet still everyone looks to my character for answers; she's hoping to curl up in a corner and sob. 

I actually had to log out because I needed an 'It's a Game, don't fret' reality check. 

Very well done Bioware! Now please sort out the bugs

When writing the stuff in Vigil's Keep and politics often I wanted to portray the joys and sorrows of ruling ("heavy is the head that wears the crown" was always in the back of my head). The part about the peasant uprising I think is historically pretty accurate. If you gave in to peasants' demands (which seems right in contemporary times) you could get raked over the coals. In my last pen and paper game there were similar themes and the players really got into it. I'm glad you guys liked it.
