I'd like to add to the chorus begging for a REAL Ultimate Sacrifice ending continuation. Seeing as this is one of the most frequent questions on the board, it's puzzling as to why you haven't addressed it here. But thanks for the other info.

Yeah, I clicked this hoping to get some sort of answer to that. I keep hearing in interviews and text about the expansion that if you want to keep that decision, then you start as an Orlesian warrior, but nothing states at all whether any of those decisions could be imported at all into the Orlesian, or whether you'd have some sort of dialogue choices that would bring up the important ones or anything really.

exactly. if you really read they answers to the FAQ, its all about lack of time and lack of will to pay writers and other teams needed. if awakening would have romances but came out a month later ... i would of HAPPILY waited. i just think its a pointless omission.

[shedevil3001]

it's dissapointing but hopefully it is only awakening that has the no romance as alot of people arent happy with that idea or no dlc though from what i read they are considering doing a patch to resolve that issue as for the us i havent a clue about that 1

[tacopacabana]

ya real excited to see how that one turns out...

ba humbug

[shedevil3001]

i got awakening pre ordered i'm not as excited about it as i was when it was first announced but i'll play it still i guess maybe it wont be that bad even if i am dissapointed in some aspects of it

That's not really the vibe I've gotten. I think they truly felt having a full blown romance either started anew or continued on would have detracted from the main focus of the expansion and if that's what they felt then I am quite glad they decided to pass on it. Obviously this isn't something either of us can really determine until we see how the story plays out and ends.

Nice FAQ. But the handling of the US ending has not been explained.
But overall, I am a pleased fan.

I'll go with this,

Winters Breath is unique in that it  happens to be Both a DLC item, and a Stock item at the same time.... will it port?

They are actually 2 different staves. Winters Breath and wintersbreath. They have slightly different stats. In 1 of my games I got both.

They say the DLC will be easily replaced...I'll stick around and see if that is true- but I don't see them adding another set of Golden Armor that my Paladin can use- nothing seems to fit him as good as the King's armor.
The Dragon Plate and Shale I think I can understand being removed though.
Also despite the extra effort, I believe Dog should have been carried over into the...You know what, no quotes his time: Expansion. =3
The idea that it would require more work seems a little frustrating, reasonable or not- I just hate how it SOUNDS ...You know? =O

[shedevil3001]

maybe we might get back dog and some of our companions in future releases as they have been so popular with alot of the fans

[worksa8]

Maybe, but I'm not about to hold my breath- they did cut quite a bit of things, be it technical or other reasons...So maybe they might have to do it again.

[supersims796]

Excellent, excellent, excellent. That is a much more satisfiying answer as to why DLC aren't included, much more than that throwaway one ya'll gave earlier. All you had to say was "it'll cost money, we didn't wanna spend too much time on it".



That's all I really care about. Now that you've said that, I might not spend my cash on the Reaper's Vestiment, since it may as well be upgraded soon. I'll buy those Tomes instead.



Another question - will Specializations be re-chooseable when we re-spec?

[cmessaz]

They said that if we are willing to use the dead warden, basically we are willing to accept flaws in the story. Thats the impression I got, and if we don't like it then we don't use the dead warden. I don't have a problem with this, I just think I won't be using a dead character. Start a new file in Origins, or load an earlier save and let Alistair take the hit if it is such a problem. I'm getting the impression that there will be no story to explain the warden being alive if they made the sacrifice.
And I'm with you shedevil I preodered Awakening as well and now I'm feeling like I should have waited.

cmessaz I think your right- but story or not you gotta admit sometimes gameplay needs to take priority, some people will complain, but for the most part it gets accepted.

I agree, I guess we will have to see how this pans out. I'm just not as optimistic as I was before about this expansion.

Me either, it doesn't have enough gameplay connection to the first game, it seems like they bridged some story but that was it, just going the easiest route over the quality one...
I mean imagine if they kept dog, all the things they could have done with him. Dog armor, real armor...or why not Kaddi's that actually change your dogs appearance enough you can actually notice it.
I wonder if this expansion will have an extra curricular character like how Origins Had Dog, Shale, etc...
I think it should anyways, but from what I seen I'm no so sure it won't be another rogue, then two warriors.

[cmessaz]

I'm reminded a bit of the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion, nothing at all to do with the main game but it turned out good. Hopefully this will as well. But in Oblivion your character isn't as personalized as Dragon Age. People think that everyone is just complaining about the lack of sex scenes, but thats not it at all. You develop your character in this game and it will be sad if they ruin that. I don't want 20 hours of just killing darkspawn. And why Oghren!!! I want my pooch! Dog armor sounds cool too! Maybe I'll work on a mod.

[Shoehat]

I agree with cmessaz; we're basically gonna have to accept the flaws and move forward.....i'm sure they're setting us up with some kind of surprise of how much DAO will splice in...they aren't gonna reveal all at this point

[cmessaz]

Just hope they don't ruin my human noble story that I plan to import. Unfortunately I'm thinking my Dalish mage won't be importable, since mods sound like they won't work for this expansion. Kinda ruining some of my fun now.

[Spawny]

well hmm and crap. OK I'm going to go back to a couple pre-landsmeet saves and change over my gear lol or maybe just sell sell sell so I have to gold to buy new stuff which seems to make more sense if our old gear is going to be pretty much useless if I import. Bugger damn about the romance bit (and yes I have a real love life before more cheap shot snipes come as they have been to others) I just liked what it brought into my characters storys and it seems I'm not the only one.
Infact it seems this has very little to do with the DAO characters so I am thinking of not importing over (maybe 1 to see) as it seems like a dead end for this expansion as their storys don't really come into play. I just hope the characters storys from DAO do have some worth in DAO2.
I will wait and see Thanks for the answers.

Thanks! You think like me. I have a husband and children, but I am very dissapointed about the relationship thing. It added more personality to the game. Half the time I play through particular ways just to see how a relationship will go. Amen to your post HagSpawn.

^not only that, but Shadows of Undrentide, an actual bioware expansion... had no romances in it. And it was awesome.

  Tales of the Sword Coast... probably Bioware's best expansion *ever*... had no romances in it.

I thought someone else did shadows and Bioware did HoTU which did have romances. (been a long while). I am probably not remembering it correctly tho as I disliked Shadows but enjoyed Hordes.

wait, since when romance = character development?

i think someone needs a RLG

LOL

THat's exactly what I think when I read some of these "where's my romance?" posts.

[TrekkerXT]

Hmm, how is the new mage specialization "Battlemage" differ from "Arcane Warrior"? I'm expecting a set of different spells/skills....but....



???????

[cmessaz]

Here comes the jokes. If you don't like the romance options then don't use them. Just stop the cheap shots on those of us who do. I'm not even talking about the PG13 scenes, they can take those out if they want. It makes the game realistic, to get to know a character on a level not commonly found in video games. This is supposed to be a fantasy world, right? And people want video games to be somewhat realistic? Well there you go. As far as no romances in Awakening, I'm ok with that. I just want the story to flow from origins, if you marry Alistair/Anora, etc.
