I finished Origins around 4-5 hrs ago on Nightmare (85:ish hrs total gameplay on Nightmare), just started Awakening. As soon as I have finished GoA then I am all set for W.H.

[Joshd21]

Yay can't wait to pick up this DLC

Will not having played Awakening affect my experience with Witch Hunt? Besides the better loot and exp?

Story wise no. But dont underestimate the importance of loot and experience. The talents in Awakenings are really good and add balance to all classes.

Also, some encounters may prove much harder at lower levels. Take the Harvester from Golems DLC, depending on your class you may not be able to pwn it with a Origins character.

Yeah no kidding, I tried taking that thing on in nightmare with my rogue and I barely won, then I took it on with my arcane warrior with same difficulty and had little trouble.

I have to agree. The mage classes are the way to go.

I would like to know how will be worked the import of our saved files if we did the US. 
Will be our warden revive as on Awakening? or will be able to create a new character AND import our choices from Origins?
Also I would like to know which was the default choices for the Orlesian warden (if we import him) and how will be manage if we revive our grey warden on Awakening and play with him on With Hunt (he refuse the Ritual but he's revive so....)
I guess you could answer this because the DLC will be release in less than 24 h. 
Thanks.

I don't see how you can create a new character AND import choices from the OC. Your "new" character didn't participate in the OC. He's a stranger in town.

In Awakening, the Warden didn't "revive". It was a form of the Blight that "revived". The Warden was simply continuing his adventures.

 Wait, who confirmed that we will be able to import our Warden from Golems of Amgerrak?

[ungureanucodrin]

first above all i cant wait to play this and its only a few hours left:D,second i am thinking that the end of this dlc might end in a few possible ways.1 our warden dies ,sacrificing his life for morrigan,2 our warden decides to let morrigan go,3 our warden kills morrigan in a blind rage,it may be a stupid opinion but this is what i think and honestly i would like a gladiator ending style .A mighty hero who passed every obstacle except the obstacle of love.pardon my english im not mastering it so well.otherwise i am looking forward to this dlc and i wish the people at bioware to keep up the good work

They know the Morrigan romance fans are out there. Its just a matter of how cruel the writers feel in making us squirm. I'm hopeful that they won't come down hard with yet another Plot Hammer Dark Ritual style ending for the Warden romancing Morrigan. Laidlaw and Gaider have both said not to worry. Laidlaw has said that he doesn't think Morrigan fans will be disappointed with whats in store. They seem like decent enough people. For the time being, I'll take their word and assurances over the crummy "journalism" of Gamespot.

I sure hope that Laidlaw is right and we don't just end up paying $7 to BioWare for another kick in the balls ending with Morrigan.

I think that it would be an excellent twist (and original) to have Morrigan as evil. Steer away from the cliche "misunderstood character" and make her seem misunderstood, yet she's actually one of the most evil people out there. It would be nice if they make her manipulative, sociopathic, heartless, and power-hungry. She never cared for you or anyone else. She only acted like she did just so she could get what she wanted. Not the classic semi-evil woman who's really good at heart. That's a cliche. Im tired of cliches. Bioware, don't just try and make all the Morrigan lovers happy. Do something that will make us ALL happy.

Of course you can. Why wouldn't you? You can import your Warden from any saved game, and at any save point in that game.

BTW, here's a little tip. After I finished each campaign, I went back and opened my last save just before my last battle (and the game's ending). I stripped all the NPCs of everything and put it in inventory, then saved again in  a new save. I imported my PC into the next campaign from that save, and had all that good stuff still in my inventory, and it's invariably better than the stuff your next game's NPCs come equipped with.

For example, in Angorrak I was able to equip that dwarf sidekick Brogan with the Vigilance Sword and Sentinel armor from Awakening. Jerrik got the Provocatuer armor from Leliana's Song, and Dumat's Spine and Duncan's Sword.

I've got all kinds of goodies in inventory for WH for Ariane and Finn. The only thing I've never kept was stuff for the pooch, because I didn't play him (I thought he was a boring character).

Ahhh yes, making a morally ambiguous character into a mustache twirling pure evil villain- thats soooo not a cliche.

In Awakening, the Warden didn't "revive". It was a form of the Blight that "revived". The Warden was simply continuing his adventures.

I'm sorry but I don't understand you. What's the OC? And what do "a form of the blight revived" means??

If I didn't do the ritual and I made the sacrificed to kill the archdemon I'm dead. How can I continue my adventures?? I never understood how the revived thing on Awakening works....

And I want to import the choices from my dead Origins' warden to the new character in With Hunt because even if this new character is "stranger in town" I think the way Morrigan acts will vary if you did make the ritual and if you didn't, no matter which character talk to her. Don't you?

That's also why I want to know which are the default choices that will be import with the orlesian warden... Was the ritual made or not? I hope that if this is the end of that chapter from Origins there will be a different.... It must be a different. Has Morrigan a baby or not? No matter which character you play with.

The OC is the Original Campaign. That's the first game.

In your post you mentioned "creating" a new character, which is an option, and is what I reponded to. A "new" character won't have made any "choices" in the OC because he wasn't present in the OC, and presumably hasn't ever even met Morri.

As to how your Warden may have been "revived" from the OC, I have no idea. Mine didn't die, so I don't know how that ending was handled, nor any resultant "revival" in later DLCs or Awakening.

But the term "Awakening" in that expansion refers to what the Architect is doing, not an "awakening" by the Warden.

[Statulos]

Even if the conclusion to the story arch is tragic and sad, it´s a conclussion. That´s the only thing I´m expecting to happen and I think, I´m going to be dissapointed.

I'm just hoping maybe we have a merchant. Between Drake's Fall and all of Golems I have a lot of stuff.

I may be expecting to much but I expect way more then just a couple lines from Morrigan and then she runs off again... that would be the biggest mistake Bioware has made with Dragon Age.

If the Gamespot "preview" is anything to go by, prepare to be massively disappointed.

What did you expect? Dragon Age is a dark game, not one full of happiness and pleasure.

Let me shed some light in the matter.

If you choose to make the Ultimate Sacrifice you warden is dead. End of story. However, if you start Awakening the warden you play is not the original, but an Orlesian warden recently moved to Ferelden.

Now, if you import the Orlesian warden in the witch hunt DLC, i presume Morrigan either acts as if it is the first time she sees you, however we dont yet know WHY you are looking for her if you dont know her. Perhaps you just stumble across Flemeth's hut.

Or, they will make a few default choices just like in Mass Effect 2 if you start a new character. What those will be, we dont know. Perhaps they'll take the Dark ritual as default, or perhaps not. We'll have to see.

Seeing as it seems DA2 has nothing to do with Morrigan or the Warden, my hope lies with DA3 or beyond. But it seems they're just milking Morrigan's story for all its worth so us poor saps keep buying it up, only to keep getting zero meaningful answers.

I'm hoping against hope there is more to Witch Hunt than that Gamespot preview let on, otherwise I'll be massively disappointed.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I haven't read anything so far to indicate that it'll be bad, we just might not get all the answers we're hoping for.

Exactly. The trailer never said that you would find out what Morrigan was planning. It only said that you'd find out where Morrigan was.

So is it possible for you guys to confirm if the Dog is OUR Dog or not?

It is, and it isn't. Due to technical limitations, we were unable to import the actual dog creature. There is a popup to name dog, and dog's equipment and stats are generic, much like Oghren in Awakening. You can use a respec tome and customize him however you want.

From a story perspective, if you recruited dog, this is your dog. If you didn't, this is a different dog you picked up sometime later. There's a codex entry for each version respectively.

So the Warden will only exsist in Morrigan's  memory later on, then into legend. So I guess she stays with him untill he dies or whatnot.  I  do not see where he might be back for DA3. I think they want to do him/her in for good, so the codex will be his end as in being dead.  I heard alot of people thinking the warden may be in DA3 but thats a shot in the Dark.  I once thought that he would go off with Morrigan after this DLC and have to deal with Hawke and Flemeth in DA3 but that also seems to be shot in the Dark.

I really don't know where DA goes from here, as they want us to like the Lore, I never really cared for it, as I did care for characters far more then the lore itself. The lore to this point has been moot to this point and to make fans care more for lore then the characters is taking a risk,  What is being done is what Zelda would be without it's main, Link, even if it's a different Link each time, most people don't know. So it's like saying  Hawke will kill Gannon in the next Zelda.

I will be one that will say the Warden gone from this game is only going to be what helps to hurt it and you guys that get paid to make this game can say what you will, but you made fans with the first game and have to be ready  to deal with a fallout from taking the Warden out.  I guess you hope to bring in more new fans, thats the only hope you have. I hope your PR dep, can spend alot of money to spam Hawke on the TV waves and get into te heads of the so called new fans.

I don't know if this has been said, seeing as how i cant bring myself to read 89 pages to find out, But how will mods affect this? Like say a mod that lets a female romance Morrigan or even do the DR. I am curious about this because i have a warden all ready but its modded and i don't really feel like making a whole new "Vanilla" warden just to get a real experience from the new DLC.

That won't make us ALL happy.

Well, maybe you can have the option to join her and side with her. As I said in another comment, this game is dark, not happy and satisfying. I like it best when people don't get too cliched about things. Many characters in the game show this ruthless, power-hungry side. Bhelen in the Dwarf Noble Origin. He seemed like a helpful and nice person, but the you find out that he's ruthless, uncaring, and power-hungry. The same goes for Arl Howe (though with a guy being voiced by Tim Curry, what do you expect)? So many people in that game are very good liars, so who's to say that Morrigan isn't either?
