*if there's another topic about the question I'm about to ask, pardon my laziness but I don't feel like going through the Forum to find it*
So DA:A, does anyone think that will have some type of effect in Inquisition? Minus the title of Warden-Commander if the Warden will be in Inquisition.
Awakening is 20 dolla' on the XBL Market place so I'm just debating to buy or not to buy if the only thing it's important is in Origins and the few side quests you can get in DA:2.
Well if all you care about is importing then don't both because the Keep doesn't care what games you own, it'll let you customize the World State to your hearts content. If you mean will the themes and plots in DAA effect DAI then almost certainly. The whole Architect thread seems likely to continue, especially if Cory is back. Plus Vigil's Keep is like Sky Hold v0.5.
I'd recommend watching a playthrough and then just choosing the decisions you want through the Keep if you don't particularly want to play the expansion and care more about importing. There are a number of decisions that could potentially make a difference in inquisition. We can't know for sure though.
If you like DAO then I'd recommend DA:A though.
What the others said. Doesn't matter for importing because the Keep will handle it all.
But I'd recommend Awakening in a heartbeat. I really enjoyed it.
Get it, regardless of anything. Unless, well, for some reason you can't.
It's a good expansion.
Yeah, Keep importing freedom aside, Awakening is fantastic. Definitely worth a playthrough. The companions in particular are awesome.
I'd recommend it for the companions alone practically, the Awakening crew really does not get enough love. Not that the rest of it isn't fantastic too, mind.
It depends on where your priorities are though really, if all you care about are the major decisions then the Keep has you covered, otherwise it's a really enriching addition to the series as a whole imo and you should definitely pick it up.
I'd recommend buying it.

I don't usually tell people to throw their money at something, but Awakening is good on it's own. Forget DA2 or DA:I. That expansion is worth buying for itself. A lot better if you have a save file though.
Disclaimer: There are bugs. So save often.
I'm still upset at how little screen time the Architect got in that game. The Calling made him a very interesting character, and he just shows up 2 or 3 times in the game. Argh!
I would recommend Awaking for the companions as well, Sigrun was cool, Anders wasn't insane, Nathaniel was fun.... the others were okay. The biggest point was to give more info on the workings of the Wardens, more info/focus on the blight, and to reveal sentient/sapient/whatever darkspawn.
However, just so ya know, you can get Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition for $30 on Steam, which includes Awakening and all the dlc. Easier to work around bugs with the PC console.

I actually prefer it when that happens.
We saw the same thing with Saren in Mass Effect who appears in brief cutscenes throughout the game, but only directly encounters Shepard face-to-face twice, once on Virmire and during the final fight at the Citadel. Same with Loghain in Origins, who spends the entire game consigned to cutscenes and who the Warden only encounters three times (Ostagar, at Denerim with Eamon and during the Landsmeet) during the entire game, unless you decide to recruit him.
Keeping characters like Loghain, Saren and the Architect apart from the protagonist and limiting them to short, important scenes prevents them from being over-exposed, making them seem larger-than-life and more memorable to the audience.
(And to use another example of the same thing, Darth Vader is one of the most memorable things about Star Wars: A New Hope, but he's only in a handful of scenes and very few of them are with protagonists. He's in at least three scenes with Leia, one with Obi-Wan and he never even interacts with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo at all except during the space-battle to try and take down the Death Star)
Well if all you care about is importing then don't both because the Keep doesn't care what games you own, it'll let you customize the World State to your hearts content.
I wasn't meaning about the Keep. I know they aren't doing the "classic" imports anymore, at least for this series now, I was meaning if it would be spoken of and have any impact in Inquisition or if it was just going to be one of the DLC's that won't matter. I'm trying to get all my characters set up in Origins before I go through another PT on DA:2.
Also I'd feel dirty and clinical if I picked options out of Keep that I haven't done.

If I could I'd go to PC gaming in a heart-beat the bugs are just piss offs sometimes, like bugged quests for example. But alas I cannot as I do not have a good enough laptop to play games like Origins/2 or Mass Effect, at least on a good quality.
Thanks to everyone though. When I get my hands on my paycheck I'll be going for dat Awakening. if i don't spend all my money first...
they just did something like this on twitter, a few of the writers was talking about writing villains.

As for awakening, aside from a few bugs in gameplay.... (they do get annoying) the game itself is pretty damn good for an expansion. Great characters, most better than some of the original cast. Get it if you want something to do until inquisition hits, but if all you're worried about is importing, then i wouldnt cause the keep is going to be the import device.
