Seen the vid... I understand they keep the decisions I made in Origins :unsure: Because it didn't look like it :unsure:

Oooh, I have a very important question. When will this be available to pre-order in the UK? The only place I can find it is Gamestop, which we don't have over here.

using the bioware delay multiplier, i expect the expansion to come out sometime around september. :P


I am voting for october. That's what happened with DAO itself, after all :P

It sounds like you take on the role of either your character (*spoilers removed*), or of another Grey Warden from Orlais (a new character) *spoilers removed*. The events will still happen, regardless. In my case, a new warden from Orlais will be tasked with rebuilding the Order.

I can't wait for that. That's exactly what I hoped they would bring:)



I really like the flair of the Grey Wardens :)

Spoilers about the original DAO and basic information about the expansion's story are fine, but to spoil on how a nemesis (talking Darkspawn) we haven't even met yet meets his doom? Sure we don't know enough yet about the story for this to have any meaningful effect, but what happens when you play the game halfway, and then remembering this piece of video?

Even the original game was spoiled a lot before release. When I finally played the game, I knew what was going to happen or made many accurate speculations of yet to occur events, piecing things together from many of the marketing videos. 

Ah, enough about complaining. Moving on.


Where does it say how The Architect meets his doom, if he even does? He's not in the main game, he's in the novel "The Calling."

The Archdemon is the "big bad" in the main game, and it sucks that it got spoiled for you, but how else did you expect the game to end? You have to end the Blight. That's not really the "end" end anyway, the real end is based on your decisions and not just the killing of one bad guy.


I read The Calling too. First off, the talking Darkspawn in purple is unlikely to be the Architect. The Darkspawn summoning an orb of black and green is the more likely candidate. 

However, whether or not he is the Architect is beside the point. You want doom? Look at the picture of the Inferno Golem tearing the talking Darkspawn in two.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I hadn't expected an expansion until at least summer. For now I'm cautiously optimistic and hope Awakening's length at least comes close to what Mask of the Betrayer or Throne of Bhaal was. Otherwise I'll be disappointed. Now if only they would announce what the new specializations are. Will there finally be an elementalist line for mages? ~Hopes~

The returning character better not be Dog. :pinched: Not that I hate Dog or anything. It would just feel like a cop out compared to bringing back anyone else from Origins. :?

OK, so does this mean that the RTO which was to be released today has now been axed? I would hope not, since I already spent money for the points, especially since this expansion cannot be paid for with the points we have bought for the RTO.

If the RTO is axed, I'd tend to speculate the date for this release may be well, not locked in as stated.

Very confused about the whole mess....................

it seems the returning member is alistar (**** yeah)



so the 5 new members will be 5 new grey wardens (like you recruit them and convert them)



i hope its the case and maybe the talking darkspawn will reveal the true origin of the darkspawn (maybe the chantry was right or not we will see)

Someone obviously never read the book.

Actually,I did... That's why I brought it up. I was just trying to be subtle. Hence the quotes around darkspawn. ;)

I wonder how the chronology will work out. Alistair looks exactly the same as before, albeit wearing shinier armour - it looks like DAA is set no more than a couple of years after the end of DAO.

There's raises the question of what DAA will do if Loghain is still alive, since he's the official recruiter. Is there a distinction between being a GW recruiter and a commander? It would probably be easier and cheaper for Bioware to send him off to the Deep Roads before DAA gets going.

This Expansion sounds really cool, but, the forty dollars had me back up a little, Bioware makes great stuff. but that seems a little steep for an expansion for me. Even though it sounds awesome, I may hold off on it.


Given that the amount of groceries I could buy for forty dollars would be eaten long before I finish the expansion, I don't see this as excessive. ;)

True, but still, paying more then half of what the original game was new for an expansion seem a little much. I don't mean to sound cheap, but... forty just seems to much for me. I can only afford like, three new games a year.

I only just heard the official news about the expansion when I went to order Divinity 2. The guy at Gamestop told me there was an expansion out next week (Jan. 13) on the PC (March for the console folks--so I think it's possible the release dates are messed up or something). Needless to say, my preorder has been made.

wouldn't one of them have to be alistair since he's a grey warden? this is assuming you don't have alistair do that thing at the end of origins that would prevent him from being there. :bandit:

Wasn't Arl Howe the Arl of Amaranthine ? Maybe we get to finally meet his daughter Delilah in the expansion ?

the only thing i hate is a developer made respec. respec is for mmos. if players want a respec, let them do it themselves.

Okay - so I don't know if this has been posted or not and I'm not about to read through all of the comments... but I believe you can download the trailer here: http://www.gamershel...news_89108.html



On another note - YOU ROCK BIOWARE! A DLC and an expansion all within 2-3 months of each other - fantastic!



Question - are romances continued from DA:O and are you allowed to start new ones?

I haven't read the books, but I was under the impression that the architect was the lich-looking guy and not the talking darspawn.



Also, as I said before, the changed the las scene of the trailer, with the golem just punching someone instead of tearing him apart, compare:







Mmmm... can we speculate on the new companions based on the trailer? I see a male and a female mage, and ohgren, and a light armor wearing guy (around 0:36). Seems to me that Alistair will not be playable, the old guy that says "You will need to replenish your numbers" is a small possibility as well. But they may very well be just stand-ins, because they look kind of 'meh'.
