Lets try to keep direct spoilers about Dragon Age: Origins to a bare minimum... there are some legitimate questions about this expansion which themselves are spoilers for the end of Dragon Age: Origins, but please try to write your question in a vague way that refers to what happens while not stating it outright / openly...

Yay, I can finally talk about what I've been working away at.



Some random answers to questions brought up (obviously I can't answer everything):



* Choices in Origins definitely are recognized in the expansion.

* You do import all of your gear from Origins, but not from the chest in Soldier's Peak. But you can always pull out what you like, save, then import that save.

* You can't play an Orlesian Grey Warden in Origins.

* Amaranthine is indeed the coastal arling that once belonged to Rendon Howe. And, of course, everyone will speak with a Jamaican accent. OK, maybe that last part isn't true.

[Ferret A Baudoin]

Who is returning, I indeed can't say. Oh noes, the suspense.

[Ferret A Baudoin]

Some random comments.
Only one companion in Awakening has been seen in Origins. The rest are new characters we hope you'll enjoy bunches.
The Inferno Golem and the Spectral Dragon are just two of the new creatures in the expansion. Expect more info and screenshots in the weeks to come.

You can choose to import from any save you want.

[Ferret A Baudoin]

Awakening does have new spells and abilities. We'll be giving out details on some of them later.

As has been pointed out, a new character comes from Orlais - but the game is set in the arling of Amaranthine which is in Ferelden. I could understand why folks could get confused, just making it clear.

[Ferret A Baudoin]

Awakening isn't at any stores anywhere yet, ClonePatrol. So that's just a mistaken rumor.

[Ferret A Baudoin]

Awakening is being developed by BioWare and almost all of us worked on Dragon Age.
