 Will there be achievements?!
Honestly, there better be achievements if I'm going to pay $40 for it. If there are no achievements, I may not get the expansion, even though I love Dragon Age. Yes, I'm an achievement ****. Call me what you will.

Probably there will be achievements for the pc-version at least.



There were for Shale and Wardens Keep.

I'm pretty sure they will. In their IGN interview they said the expansion is as about as long as other games. I can't imagine they won't have you covered.

I guess it comes down to whether or not the expansion is counted as DAO, or if it is its own game. Because a game can only have x amount of achievements in x amount of time. At least that's how it is with Xbox 360 anyways.

Your going to let some insignificant, virtual bragging rights stop you from buying a game?

I hope it has 360 achievements, mostly because I like them but also because they are a large part of the experience for many Xbox players. But I don't think for a second that they will leave them out.

Of course. This expansion pack follows the same method as Halo 3: ODST. Retail package, new game, new achievements, but comes under the same title.

I was going to say the same things but there is no arguing with console gamers, my friend.

As a console gamer, I can honestly say the PC version is better. Achievements mean f*** all with better graphics, mods and controls. Image IPB

That little "Bloonk" sound is so comforting.

really?  You are the reason the achievement system was conceived-- to bind people in addictive corporate thralldom.

Not all of us console owners are Achievement-aholics. Oh, I'll work towards them, but for me, they're not the be-all and end-all of a game. I play a game because it's a great game, not so I can get more 'insignificant virtual bragging rights' (kudos on that, by the way).

I'm an achievement ****. But this is my second best game ever, so I'm buying it anyway ;D

I agree with parts of this only because I don't work for them at all. If I get them though the course of the game, that's fine but going out of my way to get them. Not a chance. I play the game for the game. That's pretty much it.

I hope not. Those freaking achievements keep influencing the way I play even though they do nothing and have no value...yet for some reason I want that stupid 'you killed 50 things with Whirlwind' or whatever achievement. Curse them.

The will, indeed, be achievements in Awakening. I heart achievements, as well. There's a couple games I've played for 10-20 hours more to get my 1000 Xbox achievement points.

Do y'all Xbox players get some redeeming value for the achievements? On PS3 they seem silly, and I try to get them only if they are funny/amusing.

yay confirmation :D

And I guess I went overboard when I said I wouldn't get the expansion if there was no achievements.^_^

Bragging rights is about it as far as I can tell. All the achievements you get from all the games you play go into your gamerscore. My husband just hit 10,000 and he's all excited about it.

I honestly don't usually play xbox but I'm 199% addicted to this game. I plan to try and get all the achievements just because it gives me more reason to keep playing. :)

I also plan to get the PC version and do it all over again.
