Well, they said from the initial announcement that only one companion in Awakening would be from Origins so I'm actually thrilled that they say we're getting some cameo's. Now if only they'd say who. Damn Bioware and there silence.

I think perhaps youa re not taking into consideration that the expansionw ill begin with characters that are already at, or near, the original level cap. Raising the cap 5 levels is hardly an enormous amount, and I can easily see my Warden gaining five levels in 15 hours.


Except they're talking about raising it to 35-39 and not 30.


Uh...when did this get said?  And by who?  I've read every article, and the dev posts in this thread, and noone has said anything of the sort.

IGN: Speaking of the level cap, can you tell us what the new level cap will be raised to?




Fernando Melo:We can't because we're still balancing it. You
will probably end up in the mid to high 30s -- that's kind of the
current thinking, but that may still change.

I've been playing this game for days straight (alternating with my husband whose account this happens to be currently lol) and my word, I can't get enough. I don't know what I'll do in March. I've had plenty of free time with winter break from uni and 2 wks off from work to play this game, but I'll have my head in the books come March lol Luckily, April is the last month of the semester so I wont have long to wait to get lost in it yaaaay! Sooo happy for the expansion news!

Since this expansion will probably deal with taint I'm wondering if Warden's Keep will be mentioned as that also deals with the taint?

I gotta admit I'm pretty thrilled they're releasing an expansion so early after release. Yet I can't help but wonder just how much content is actually going to be in it. I'm just skeptical at those theorycrafting that this expansion will be just as long as the main game.

Guys, dont know if you noticed but i have a theroy. (SPOILERS)

If you watch the trailer at one point it shows Biowares character (the warrior guy whos in all the pictures for the game) killing the archdemon.
Then later in the trailer you see him running around ( now some could argue you never see his face but you do for a few seconds in the trailer)
Also you see hear that woman talking about the dead watching as i take over the mortals.
This all looks like it pointing to somthing, I belive that it could be possible your character gets revived somehow and you have the option to play as them again in awakening. (I hope this does happen, i really do want to play as my old character who did die)

Morrigan's Dark Ritual.

Well I was hoping the five +1 NPCs , where +1 is a familiar face and a favorite, but new as a NPC. (eg. BANN TEAGAN!!!!) was in adition to atleast some of the old NPCS, but a bioware employe crushed that hope above...bummer.
Three of them would be out of the question for NPCS.

Morrigan due to obvious reasons, Alistar due to just as obvious reasons (since all of his endings would prevent him in some way or another from runing around and rebuilding the Gray Wardens and saving the world once again) and Shale due to the fact she is DLC. Sten and Wynne is unlikely they would travel with you again. Wynne complains she is getting realy old and Sten wants to go home.

The last three (and dog) is actualy the only ones that makes sense that they would continue to travel with you (unless you marry Alistar). In my endgame i traveld for a while with Leliana, Zehvran and Dog, and Oghren eded up a soldier in Denerim). So I hope I get an explanation why two of them (or all three if its the dwarf that returns.) wont travel with me for this quest. Zev and leliana are both madly in love with me so they better have a reason to dump me. Hopefully they will return in other expanisons or sequals since i have to agree Oghren looks like the obvious choise if only one returns..


I think Morrigan has the best chance of appearing again as no matter the ending, she's always the one that goes off traveling.  We have no clue how soon after the main story the expansion happens but considering Alistar still looks the same so it can't have been more than a few years at the most.

*Spoilers*



Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.



On my main/first playthrough, Leliana was part of the expedition that went to the Urn of Sacred Ashes and Zehvran is my best bud/sidekick travelling with me (though in my pure good guy story he became leader of the antivan crowes).

Wynn went with Shale to Tevinter to help Shale become a fleshy again (though in my pure good guy story, she is Alistar's advisor in).

Oghren is looking to get back together with his girlfriend on the surface (though he becomes a general in the army on my pure good guy story).

Sten has his sword back and went back home and Alistar married Anora and became King and ruled with her.

I slept with Morrigan to survive killing the Arch Demon but in all playthroughs she's the one that is always going off travelling and it was always over the frost back mountains so she could be in or around Orlais.

Frostback Mountains + Orlais = West of Ferelden
Amaranthine = North/North East of Ferelden

Morrigan is the least likeliest to appear as she said she was going to go well away from the Warden

this is just me but i think morrigan will be in this because considering that shes the most popular dao character of all time it would be a disapointment for he not to be in it ... march 14 is my birthday plus im getting a new pc so i guess i'll have to pick this up to go with it huh ?

I am incredibly psyched about this new expansion this means I finally have the drive to finish my new characters play-through who I really want to be my Main Hero he is by far my best one yet.



This has totally made me forget about ME2 for a bit, this expansion looks like it will be awesome and epic and just jam packed with action and amazing story telling. This expansion makes me look forward to playing through this again.

Not really, I'd rather they bring her back and do her character and story a proper justice instead of making her a shadow paling to something else.

Good to know that romancing a character like Zevran or Leliana will result in you getting a cameo on why they are not going to help you fight the new threat or be with you on your new adventure.

=/....yippee.

I was hoping an expansion of the ending would...expand on the ending. The ending that you chose. So if you chose to frolick with Leliana or Zevran, then the ending would be about how Leliana or Zevran come with you to frolick.

Sure hope that playing the expansion pack as a new Orlesian commander will be entertaining and worth the $40, because I'm certainly not importing a character to find out they didn't get their happily ever after with the character of their choosing.

Okay, I know that this will probably get buried somewhere in this massive thread, but there is a really good article at IGN dealing with new information. The article is from today, and is an interview with Fernando Melo the Online Producer. One little thing that I found that cleared up one big issue: ".....-- there is one party member that returns that can join your party and continue on. I think we're trying to keep that under wraps until a little bit closer to launch though." (from page 2) I found the whole article rather informative....

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. :)


ok all i did was hit the "bioware" button to see their posts so maybe this question has been answered, but the way he words that statement can have two meanings:
  • You get all of your original companions, and out of the new ones you've only seen one before. -OR-
  • You only get one companion to return with you.

@Tymay: What it means is out of all the possible companions in Awakening, only one of them was seen in Origins. That's all.
