I think I figured out awakening, after watching the first trailer a couple of times.

It begins with a weird beast/man. I think that is some kind of new demon because you dee him diferend as in the other sections of the trailer. Meaning if your old character died you will wake up in the fade and see him. Next thing: I think that same demon is possesing one of the darkspawn you see. Maybe the darkspawn and demons work together?? who knows I think this is it.

As long as some of the companions make a cameo return I'm happy and I would be super thrilled if Morrigan would make a cameo appearance or if there would at least be some of information in awaking on Morrigan even if its just another cliffhanger to keep the discussions about her going! :)

Ok, now that I've managed to calm myself I do have a few questions.

1. Will Morrigan be involved in the expansion at all or is she out of the picture for now?
2. I'm assuming, according to what I read in the articles, if you sacraficed yourself at the end of the game you'll be making a new grey warden - Is this new character a continuation of your old character or somebody brand new?
3. Enchantment?


W8 will anyone in Orgins be involved in the EP? Or do we get new party members? WHAT ABOUT SHALE!?Image IPB

5 all-new party members will be available in Awakening with ONE old companion from DAO returning. Which one you ask? We dont know...yet.
Other DAO companions may appear as cameo.

It will be Shale ... everyone liked her, for the most part, but she wasn't really a romance option.



That said, I Wish (wishwishwishwish) it were Leliana or Zevran, but like you say, it probably won't be one of the romance choices.

but not everyone will have shale, unless they include the dao dlc for her within the expansion, then some people will miss out from before...

I think they'll be holding Morrigan back for Dragon Age 2. No reason except for intuition. It's strange that Bioware went with an expansion pack for DA and Mass Effect went for a full blown sequel.

Very true. I guess what I was wondering about is why Bioware went with a different route in DA? What prompted them to think an Expansion Pack would be a better continuation instead of waiting couple years and putting out a full blown full priced sequel a la Mass Effect? Of course, Baldur's Gate had the expansion Tales of the Sword Coast and then Baldur's Gate 2 came out. Who knows? I'm glad it's coming some significant content is coming out so soon but I get the feeling that the significant story threads from DA will be put on hold in Awakening re Morrigan and her baby.

I would much rather get an expansion every few months than a single sequel every 2-4 years ... I've played the first story through and now want to continue the adventures of my character, not have to wait and hope that'll be possible in years to come.

@ elearon1
Couldnt agree more, maybe some sequels while dev team #2 is slowly working on DA2.

I just came up with a theory. In the trailer, you hear someone say ''the lords have come to swear fidelity to you and the grey wardens'' and then you see some noble bowing before a man in a silver armor. The man in the armor has the same hairstyle as the pc used in the trailer(look at when the Archdemon is slayn in the trailer). My theory is, what if the pc can become the ruler of Amaranthine in the x-pack. It would explain the silver armor, you know, the king of Ferelden wears a gold armor and the arl of Amaranthine wears a silver one. Sorry if this has been said before.



ps. sorry for the grammar.

Though, you know, I REALLY wish they'd let us know how many hours of gameplay the expansion is going to add, because at 40 bucks you're practically paying for the price of the game again and if I'm not getting at least 20 more hours of gameplay for that I can't see how it would be worth the price.

i found its getting cheaper and cheaper 1st time i looked it was £40.00 then it was £30.00 and now £25.00 and I bought the original for £40.00 so i woudnt worry about the price and i think they estimated the expansion at 15 hours but thats nothing to go by as I think they estimated return to ostegar to be 1 hour and i completed it in 20mins normal difficulty and listend to the convo

I speak advertising, expect ONLY 3 new monsters in xpac. Pray for new combat animations at least.

I recall them mentioning at one point that it was only going to be about 20 minutes, but that you might be able to get more out of it depending ... I imagine that is, depending on if you play it multiple times with different cast members in tow. I intend to play again with Logain and Wyn, so I'll get a total of about 45 minutes or so for my 5 dollar investment ... but I was really jonesing for DA.



So long as they don't hold to that 5 bucks = less than 1 hour of gameplay model for this larger expansion.

If you can recruit 5 new fully fleshed out companions and the play time of Awakening is supposed to be 10 hours or less, I dont think Bioware would make such a rushed low quality rubbish! If its not rushed then there are several things requiring some play time to explain them, sort of a ''foreplay'' like the architect, the talking darkspawn etc.

What I'd like to know, does this new Orlesian Warden get an Origin, or do we pick a name, race and class, and just get thrust straight into the action?

Never mind, apparently we don't get an Origin. :(
