Can you define "importing"? Obviously I understand the concept but not in the context of the player character - is this a natural follow on from Origins or is it a completely seperate story?

Specifically, if the player character sacrificed themself, yet was imported and played in Awakening, does Awakening explain/acknowledge this event or do we just import from the Epliogue save and carry on regardless? (not a fan of the latter idea - it tends to spoil my immersion)

To paraphrase, is Awakening to Origins what Shadows of Undrentide was to Neverwinter Nights or what Hordes of the Underdark was to Shadows of Undrentide?

It looks like default-ending is assumed. Alistair became king, and I would almost go as far to say that the ultimate sacrifice was made, or something along those lines.

How does it look like that?  It says specifically that your choices in the main game would be accounted for...doesn't that, in fact, mean it looks like a default ending will not be assumed?

Oh wait I guess you mean if you start the expansion without importing your character...I guess you are right there.

I'm hoping the relationships we developed with the old companions aren't going to be simply 'shelved' I really like my conversations with Oghren, Sten and Leliana. I guess time will tell.

It is a natural flow...the Blight ended but the Darkspawn are hanging around...why is that?  Find out in the next thrilling chapter.

If the player character sacrificed themselves your choices would carry over but you will be playing the Orlesian who is taking over...or rather building from scratch...the Ferelden Gray Wardens.

 That is my same worry but with so little details my understanding is that we will only have 1 original comanion from Origins with 5 new ones so who knows if we'll even see them or be able to talk to our old companions at all. I reall yhope Leliana is still 100 with me, afterall my ending said we traveled together.

What I wonder is whether the digital download version and boxed version will be the same? I mean, at times the game developers add some "goodies" into boxed versions (I mean in-game) which are not included in digital versions, which is weird considering that those who download the digital versions are, sort of, doing the "better" thing - developer saves money as needs not to spend it on creating packages and such, saves nature as no plastic boxes are made and so on. You'd think that this "greener" way should be actually rewarded, eh?

[Clovis-]

for 30 dollars, are we talking roughly half the content of DA:O?

[RajvsarN]

Why the hell is everyone thinking there will only be one of the old party members returning?

On http://dragonage.bioware.com/awakening it says :
"Encounter five all-new party members and an old favorite from Dragon Age: Origins"

An old favorite can be anyone, for an example Arl Eamon could be the one they are talking about.

Willing to bet a good sum of money that the returning character is Morrigan just based on the wording and location + ending slides for Morrigan (talking about her being seen in Orlais)

Just to clarify a bit here, the value of a game for the developer is fixed. It's about product sold, not delivery method. The publishers are the ones who gain a bit extra on the delivery mechanism in terms of not needing to produce another boxed copy in order to fulfill the order.
Saving nature and all that... meh. It's not really something that factors in here. It's a cute concept and all, and some people might promote their game on that account but really don't kid yourself. If a game sells, it sells. Doesn't matter what delivery is used.
On a side-note, bioware have been really really good about supplying those who purchase a digital copy with something extra, like for instance the Digital deluxe edition of DA:O that came with Warden's keep in the box, where those with a physical copy had to pay the 7$ for it. Just saying is all.

But the game doesn't take place in Orlais...so I will take that bet.

I'm guessing it'll end up with the expansion pack adding a new location point on the map that will carry you over to the new content. 

[damirko]

Great news... can't wait to play it! The price 29.99$ for PC version is just about right!

[MassEffect762]

The favorite is probably Alistair and I doubt we'd be able to choose the favorite as well.



A) How long has it been since the ArchDemons defeat?



What role if any will romance interest play?



C) Will previous DA:O endings/choices carry any weight?

I hope so, i'd much prefer that than a seperate module, or similar means of doing it.

I'm also hoping that you can still play your warden, and continue the story, if you chose to sacrifice yourself - admittedly it would somewhat belittle the sacrifice if you were still alive (not sure how they'd do it either, returning from the fade maybe/morrigan being pregnant from an earlier liason with the pc or one of the parties warden's?) but I want to experience the story from the perspective of my warden and the decisions he made (even the sacrifice one - and yes i know it's something of an oxymoron) rather than experience the evolving story of Thedas from the point of view of several different wardens.

I can't go through every page in this thread so forgive me if it's been mentioned, but did anyone notice Oghren TWICE in the trailer?

[bschaaf]

why is the original game required if you can start over as a new character? Does that mean that you *must* import a finished game (you killed the arch demon) and the only way to play as the new character (GW Cmdr) is if you made the ultimate sacrifice?

[cachx]

I think that if you made the sacrifice, it automatically starts you with the new Orlesian warden, when you import.

But I'm wondering, will this new warden have a origin or will just get thrown inside the main history from the start?

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

Ok, seriously... Is there anything in the xpack that wasn't in the trailer? Because that was packed with awesome.



Now for what we all want to know --- Will there be more sexytimes in Awakenings?

Considering the only shown returning character other than possibly Alistair is Oghren, are you sure you want that to happen?<3

"The game, which will require a copy of "Dragon Age: Origins" to play, is supposed to run about 15 hours and will allow for players to import and edit characters they've broken in from the core game. "


40$ for 15 hours? so...15 hours is probably pushing it. 40$ for 8-10 hours??

[Sir Elliot]

How about some pre-order bonuses?



I find your lack of pre-order bonuses disturbing. *heavy breath*

[NKKKK]

I don't mind Ogrhen being the returning companion, as long as everyone else (cept' Morrigan of course) gets to return as NPC's
