The Lord of the Rings song must have cost a pretty penny.

That is a song from the Battle for Middle Earth game and if I remember right, EA has the trademark law on it. So they can use it for free.

Oh sweet. Didn't realize that. Spoof trailer anyone?

It is possible that the returning companion could be determined by what you did and how you did thing in your playthrough(s). I would imagine that anything involving Morrigan would be for a full sequel not DLC or expansion. However any of it happens Awakening looks amazing and I look forward to the fight with the spectral dragon.

Don't like Oghren one bit...I used runscript zz_addapproval just to get him to minus -100 to kill him...



Would be a bit weird if i imported my character and Oghren was somehow alive..



Leliana/Morrigan/Zevran/Shale/Loghain would be better than a red headed drunk dwarf who obsessed over a his wife who turned out to prefer other women over him, and who can blame her when you have a drunktard like Oghren as your husband

It's too short, gives no real information except the date it's going to be released, and does very little to get me motivated to go the the store and buy this game, much less pre-order.

When I saw the CGI trailer for the Urn of Sacred Ashes it gave me goosebumps....I went to Best Buy to get the game the next day.   I can't see anyone rushing out the door with their wallets biased on this Awaking trailer.

So comeon already, it's a teaser; If you like the game (and I for one do), all these little tidbits don't really matter; when the new stuff comes out I will get them, period.

Hey guys, do any of you know the name of the song playing around 29 seconds, with the singing and orchestra going behind that?

[Gold Dragon]

Actually, I think a Return of Duncan (Dead or alive) is feasable. WHy would be a spoiler, but think about it. the Darkspawn would have recognized him, surely.

[Waterunleashed]

i agree with the duncan idea, which would be awesome. I still hope i can play with alistar esp after watching my epilogue that says he roams around ferelden because he hates court life. I could totally see him using this as an excuse to get away from being King and back to the familiar life of kicking darkspawn butt.

has anyone seen the new Anders video?

http://au.pc.ign.com...ers_012910.html

[MClover]

Yep, just saw that video. He seems like a pretty cool character and has alot of story potential. So we know we have a mage. In Anders' video debut he was throwing some damage around, anyone have thoughts on if we can build him as a support mage or will there be a second mage which is support?



Do you guys also think that the respec option will unlimited and/or available to companions and not just the warden? If so, it might not matter what spec Anders is.



Last question, IF Oghren is the returning companion, then do you guys think it's safe to say the 5 remaing companions will be 1 warrior, 2 mages and 2 rogues?

Unless Awakening is a much more significant expansion than it seems to be, I think they've overpriced it. DAO is a great game but I won't be getting Awakening til the price drops pretty significantly.

[TheGriffonsShallRiseAgain]

ok I have to say this. You just showed us what we already knew. in the announcement trailer you can see oghren and the spectral dragon as well. Oh and also Cailans ghost interupts a scene so spare me but im pretty sure this aint news not to mention that if people took the time to look at the first trailer you could see alot more. Aside from that well the spectral dragon looks decent although it looks like a recycled dragon that was just shaded and colored to be more ghost like and given a few new tricks. I was hoping for new looks or something to keep me going.

[MClover]

^ We also saw Alistair and Wynne in the trailer. This little video raises the question if Oghren is the returning companion or just with you for a short time, fifth temporary party member slot? Also, the video showed a new shield and staff model, not too big, just a little snack. Anders trailer was the same. Got a little background, but the best stuff is being saved to be discovered in game.

Nobody EVER considers Duncan..why is that?   We don't have proof he's dead.   hehehe

Well, for ME Duncan was never ever a ''old favorite'' nor was he some sort of companion, to say it bluntly, he was that guy who forced me to join the grey wardens, the fool who went willingly on a suicide mission and he only served a very minor role at the beginning of the game. 

I would be hugely disappointed if hes the one. 

We don't know WHOSE favorite they are talking about right?   Bioware can't choose from eleventy billion different opinions on who the old favorite is...so I am SPECULATING its none of the above..and matter of fact I still think its Duncan.

Hence the Awakening title..not only for the "talking darkspawn" but what I am referring to.

They can't possibly choose someone's personal favorite, that will come down to more warring on these forums. 

People going yeehaw they picked mine I am special...people going they didn't pick mine..why Bioware why???

I think my guess may be closer to the target.

Bioware knew fans would grow to like certain characters and invest in them, its not like this was their first Crpg.
Playing this game with fans on who is returning is rather childish and only causes hate threads/flame wars.

I really cannot be bothered to get involved in the whose is returning "i wonder" debates anymore. You cannot blame fan reaction/over-reaction for that, you lit the match to fuel hype with threads such as this.

Who is returning, I indeed can't say. Oh noes, the suspense.

 

If it is truly Oghren as most suspect, it should be officially confirmed which goes to further my point on the marketing ploy used above.

I hope the returning character is Oghren, he was great comic relief and like someone else said, he did have less character development than the others so giving him more focus in the expansion can fix that. Also I think anyone who expects to see Morrigan again before Dragon Age 2 is a bit foolish.

If the expansion is 20 hours long for one playthrough then I think that the price is right. After all, the joy of this sort of game is playing through it multiple times to see different outcomes. Playing through once as your character and once as the Orlesian character would be the minimum.

Thats true..I see it as a marketing ploy very definitely.

As for those who hope it is Ohgren, Morrigan, Leiliana..or whomever. 

If it turns out its not..they are going to be greatly disappointed..aren't they?    Officially confirming who it is..would then of course be a rather large spoiler,  and we know how some react to spoilers..they get a little teed off.  Heh.

Even playing it twice at say....30 hours or so,  definitely worth my investment, but I know I'll probably do more than two just to make sure I get whatever extras there are in the way of side quests and or achievements.

[Mistersunshine]

I love Oghren. He's got some comedy gold moments, and on the serious side, I think his "final goodbye" speech if you're friends with him at the end is the best one out of all of them.

[Waterunleashed]

In the IGN interview they talk a lot about how the story react to your choices in the game. Not just the expansion pack but that if you transfer your character the path you chose in the old game transfers as well. This leads me to believe that they have finally figured out how to make everyone happy with the returning character choice because it is selected by who you did kill and who's your best friend or love interest from the game. ie who came to your rescue in the game. Or they just said too much work and you have one of the characters you couldn't play with last time.

[NightmarezAbound]

I do not think that the companion will be Duncan, have a feeling it will be Dog. especially since in RtO if you missed dog the previous time can get him there as well? makes you belive that they want you to HAVE Dog.



and I have a far more sinister thought on Duncan, and all the Grey Wardens that go into the Deep Roads for that last time. What if they turn to Darkspawn? and not the run of them mill Hurlock, Genlock, Ogre kind. but the new talking ones? what if Duncan or some other fallen Warden is the talking darkspawn seen in the trailer? Imagine that as your future, not only 30 years, but if you are not destroyed you become that which you have fought for most of your life? Afterall, think of say Ruck. He lived alone in the Deep Roads for 5 years, and we are talking a smith, not a warrior. And the darkspawn ignored him, because he stayed in the shadows and fed on the flesh of the Darkspawn, thereby consuming the taint. Now after 30 some years the nightmares get worse and you are drawn to the Deep Roads. Supposedly to die fighting the Darkspawn, but what if at that point the Darkspawn see you as one of their own?

What does 30 years of living with the taint do to you mentally and physically?

but this is just my twisted thought.

[Nayt Navare]

Ugh, Ogrhen?!?!?!?!? Pass-adina.



i'll still get it, but that boring sod isn't coming with me!
