Aside from the skills and gear I don't think the DLC from Origins will have any effect in Awakening, that's just getting a little to messy as not everyone will have every single piece.

I just hope we don't get s*** loads of crazy DLC content. All I did was pre-order the CE and buy Warden's Keep and I have a HUGE list of DLC weapons; many of which are nothing special at all.
I was thinking the same thing for my warden lol

I wonder what effects the mods I'm using will have on the expansion. I'm only using two, forced deathblows (which I'm certain will have no effect) and the Raven mod. Since the Raven mod is all about respecing and unlocking specializations I'm kinda worried.

Hello everyone! I'm really excited about this expansion but I have some questions that keep buggin me.
(Spoilers Below)
I am curious about one thing: What if my hero died? Sure, you can make a new hero from Orlais, which is good and all, but will the decisions I made in that game data affect the new story at all? You know, all that stuff they show you in the end about what happens in Ferelden after the Blight, like which king is in Orzammar and Denerim, what happens with the Circle Mages, etc. Or is it that when you make a new Orlesian Grey Warden everything is preset a certain way? I'm hoping you can still load the data of your deceased hero to carry that over while still using a new hero. Unless, of course, they don't intend to mention anything about that at all in the expanded story.
Thanks. That is all.

Your charater will move over to the awaking expansion if he/she died then it'll be the same looking charater that will move over... there might be some storyline for it.
But other than that your choices from the first game will affect small things in the expansion. Like the king/queen will be mentioned somewhere in the game... thats all i know by reading a Q&A i found on the internet.

I hope this info http://answers.yahoo...20180442AAQvY2Q is correct
I'm assuming your a girl by your avatar and love of Alistari... sorry if I'm wrong. You can kick me in the nads if I am.
1. Target release is the 16th, but I wouldn't bet on it. Something as short as RtO is running into some major problems. March sounds a little to early to me... I would actually bet on it being pushed back OR being really buggy.
2. Hehe, I've noticed a trend. People who don't like Oghren either seem to be girls or guys with pictures of elves in their portraits. I assume it's because he's butt ugly and disgusting. Reguardless, Oghren is one of the most popular characters, and at the moment he seems to be the #1 contender.
But nothing has been announced officialy, so he could very well be a temporary companion... although I hope he's perminent. However, it is highly unlikley Alistair would be a companion given his... new role.
3. Yup yup. Unless bioware drops the ball, it seems all the choices you made should transfer over. The only question is what happens with player characters who died...

I thought the option of making a Warden from Orlais was for players whose characters died slaying the Archdemon.

The returning character is definately going to be Duncan, hence the death of the King at Ostagar being a big deal and Duncan's "death" never being shown! He also has history with The Architect from Dragon Age: The Calling, so it makes perfect sense for it to be him.
I haven't seen it actually confirmed that he died, plus there's no mention of being able to loot him in RtO, which implies that his body isn't there?? (maybe that's just wishful thinking though..)
It also means that people are less likely to whine about their favourite companion not returning 'cus if none of them do, they can't say they've been the one to miss out
Plus Duncan is a badass.
Edit:-
If I remember right he buried both swords in to that uber Troll that killed Cailan, so that would explain why they can be found but he can't!

Dragon Age Wiki...
In Return to Ostagar you can claim Duncan's sword and dagger but his body cannot be found to take his unique armor.

You probably can't say but is their a chance that a characters relationships will continue/be referenced in the expansion?
Also Obviously alot of players have earned bonus stat/talent/skill points via using tomes and by taking part in certain parts of the game, will these points also be carried over when you import a character?

Nope... at the moment it's assumed Oghren is the returning character as
A. Alistar is the king now
B. Oghren is seen IN your group in multiple locations

What I would like to know is why this expansion is $40, when the full game is $50 (PC Version).
How many other expansion packs are 4/5ths the cost of the full game? I'm fairly sure the answer is none.

I had this same thought at first too...
BUT last I heard the PC version cost $30 dollars which is standard expansion price, if a bit on the steeper side of expansions.
Now, I'm not sure about this part, but I think it's being released as a stand alone on consoles, which would explain the $40 dollar price tag on consoles.

I think the better question is why is our(PC fans) expansion $40 but console is not $50?

There is a new origin. You transfer your dead character over and all of his/her choices transfer then you create the new Grey Warden Commander coming over from Orlais.

That would be nice.Torias wrote...
i really hope Morrigan is in this, i like her
I grew fond of my dwarven girl's relationship with Leliana and wish they could somehow reunite. But I have a feeling that won't be possible.
One thing I do hope for is to have an actual voice saying the things we choose to say in game. That was something I truly missed.
I would also like to see an update to how codex entries are handled. Currently, if you have more than let's say 10, and the new one comes after those 10, you can't scroll to find it without removing the highlight. This is what really bugged me in the end. Too many codexes and no way to properly keep track of new entries. Opening, scrolling, closing to see if the highlight is gone to figure out which entry was added is not my idea of fun!
