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. :)




 So we only get one original companion but in the video we clearly see two. Meaning...you LIE!!!! lol or that was just part of a cut scene? What I am really asking if I can get it out of you is will we be able to talk to our old group at all or even see them in the new campaign?...even a few of them not every last person perhaps.

I have said this before, and I say it again, I am excited for Awakening. It also pleases me to no end to see people from Biowaare commenting as it tells me that they are listening to us..or at least thinking of us.



On a side note, I laugh at the RtO thread xD

still hope we see some of the old guys, they have all grown to me and i really loved and cared for them, especially the romance, and it would be a shame imo if they just disappeared after all the work and energy i invested in them and how much they mean to me in the end of the game.
One can at least still hope i guess


I'm pretty sure some of them will appear as NPCs (Alistair visibly does if you made him king in DAO)


that's what i hope too. I see the reason for not making them playable, character driven games need some new input from time to time, and given how many possible endings there are, it must be horrifying to try to include them all into a still working and playable game.
But as you said, thy can still return as non-playable but nevertheless important NPC'S for the xpac. At least for now, nothing we know of this xpac excludes this. And i would really more than miss them if they just vanish, and i can't wait to see some of again (romance choice included of course, as that person has grown the most to most players, including me)

I kinda made an arrangement with one of the old companions to travel to Orlais after killing the Archdemon etc. So will the companion you had before in Origins be "fixed" or will it depend on how you played "Origins " and the choices you made as to which old companion you will retain ? Also what about the DLC content character  "Shale" ? is she out now ? I guess so because we are loosing our Storage chest from Wardens Keep until some future expansion i guess when maybe we can use it again?

Looking forwards to battling the Architect and all his/her minions Posted Image


If I remember right there are only 4 companions that will stay at your side in atleast a few Epilogues. Shale always leaves you, goes to Tevintar and always disappears is some manner so I see no reason to expect her to make an appearance in the expansion. To the companion that would return, Gaider already said it's fixed, it'd be to much of a waste of limited resources to write the dialogue, hire the voice actors to record it, script them, ect. for a variety of companions only to ever actually have one in the game.

Awww nuts, that means Sten, Shale and Leliana aren't returning.. :(

Oh well, it won't get in the way of our enjoyment but I really hope the origins characters particularly the romance will return at some point in the future.

dear bioware,

better framerate (hint use more SPU's) and fix the EA server connection (which is causing framerate issues)  for the PS3 version thanks.

He said only one companion in Awakening has been seen in Origins. That doesn't mean we won't see any other companion from Origins aside from the one.

You dished out $50 two weeks ago, you won't have to dish out the $40 for ATLEAST 2 months. I don't see your point of argument.

the point he try to make is that you are a mother ****ing brat that live on you father and mother wealth fare,me and possibly him have to work very hard to pay rent,cars,assurance,food and everything this life require wen you become a full grow man.

No, it simply means they aren't returning as companions. As regular NPC's they can make a comeback, just don't get your hopes up for Shale and Sten. ;)

Wooaahh... Settle down there friend. Many of us are suffering as far as money goes these days.. Come now, we are all here because we have a shared love for the game, no need to take it out on your fellow gamer.

Well then, Mr. Grownup Manlyman, here's a thought....   Don't buy it until two months after it comes out.  If you're really all grown up you know about budgeting.  :-)  So skip a couple coffees each wekk, put those three bucks in an envelope, and there you go.  At the end of three months, you have damn near all the money you need for the Xpack. 

:)

its not a new game. Its (supposedly) 15 hours, requires the original game and expands on the originals story and content. It's just possibly started separately. It's an expansion. Think BG2: Throne of Baahl and D2: Lord of Destruction, Starcraft: Brood War, Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne, Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun: Firestorm, among others.

I don't think i want to pay more than 20euros for this, but then again i rarely pay more than that for my games, Dragon Age was an exception :P

I am slightly bummed that we will not get to have more of our former party members back in Awakening. But I do hope that we get to see, maybe speak to them at some point. <3

 It's not really a sequal considetring Bioware was quoted 15 hours for Awakening for $40, DA:O was $50 for 30-100 hours depending on how you play. So basically it is a high price but EA knows more people will pay it than miss out. I don't agree with it just like the guy who spent $50 two weeks ago. I have plenty of bills don't need an over priced expansion which is why my friend is buying it for me. Win, win we both play & I don't have to pay that outrageous price.:wizard:

Man... If the old party members are not important to the plot or don't show up at all than I will be mad. This is an expansion not a sequel. Thus I want to see my old party members if they can't rejoin my party. Though why they can't is a mystery. Personally I think they better have a good reason for not saving the world again by your side other than that Bioware got bored of them and wants us to like the new cast.

Wonders if he would complain if he bought the game in february not realising an Exp was coming out....the game was ready last April, the PS3 pushed everything back to November....so even with that...the game will have been out 4 months before the exp appears (providing its out on time)...



Whats the problem?

 It might be a cheap route out of paying original voice actors? Maybe these guys are cheaper. Plus We should only get Loghain, Alistair, Leliana, & ??? idk Oghren was planning to leave, Wynne was basically going to die soon, Shale is a giant rock chick off to kill birds, Morrigan ...well she's gone solo. So we really do not have too many party members left. lol.

classy.

No,
I live on my own, have my own job, rent an apartment and own my own
car. Now you can assume and be ignorant all you like, just don't use
the anonymity of the internet as an excuse to belittle someone. If you
disagree with what I say then challenge it, debate it with something,
don't come typing gibberish and tossing around ignorant generalizations
about someone you don't know.

The point I was making to him,
was against his argument that he now has to pay $40 two weeks after he
paid $50 for the base game, reality is he doesn't. He's got two months
to set $40 cash to the side if he truly wants this expansion, that's a
dollar every other day. If one cannot save up $40 for something they
want in two months they have to seriously reevaluate their lives.
