I'm on the fence still about this. Considering it's been 4 months and they haven't even fixed the bugs from the original game I worry about the expansion having a whole new set to deal with, plus the price is a bit much for 12 hours. On the other hand, bugs/glitches aside, I really like this game and want to get the expansion for the continuation of the story and some new spells/skills/weapons etc. Most likely I'll wait and see how it goes over and if they're releasing a patch for the original first.
Plus FF13 is out around the same time so I'll grab that first probably before paying almost as much for an expansion but will still keep my fingers crossed for this.

I picked it instead of FF13.

Pre-ordered and can't wait to play it. Don't care for new romances, don't care about not being able to use DLC equipment and don't care about the price....as long as there is continuity from Origins, I'm good.

I agree, if all you want is more romance go pick up a Nora Roberts book.

Me too. I've been playing Bioware games for... well, at least a decade. Whenever Baldur's Gate was released. They've never let me down. I loved Dragon Age: Origins, and I have faith that they will give me more of what I want.

Translation: Expansion for Dragon Age? WTF GIMME.

i gotta wait till the 19th to play it over here

[Lambs09]

I'm in the wait and see group.

Dragon Age was my GOTY but because I loved the characterization of my party members. There is so much dialogue recorded and so many options left up to the player that my second and third walkthroughs played nothing like the first. I'm not sure I want to go back to Ferelden so soon knowing the new party members are throw-aways and that my old mates are only cameos.

Provided there's game play improvement (not just copy pasted room-with-enemies-and-traps, that gets old even on Nightmare) and the story is decent I'll pick it up eventually. Awakenings is $5-10 more than what I think it should be and there are already two blockbuster titles hitting in March that I've been anticipating for years (FF13 and GoW3).

[Vuokseniska]

well to be honest..in the end all your characters go their different ways. Nobody is complaining why sten isn't back in Awakening.



And from the story as we know the people you gather in your party are the new warden recruits

[Cancermeat]

how long do you think i will take to dl on your typical broadband connection, i went ahead and preordered it at gamestop because i didnt want to have to wait until thursay( I'm a ps3 owener)?

[ahpucha]

THE WITCH DOCTOR?!?! The Diablo 3 developers said they want to make their own way so theyre not going to bring back most of the classes. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT they make classes that copy the old ones, which is insulting to the fans.

[zchen]

canceled pre-order also

Wow.  Just got a reality check.  After Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2, I thought Bioware could do no wrong.  I thought Mass Effect was a great game, but then Mass Effect 2 came out.   It was clear that Bioware was listening to the players with improvements in all areas...the elevators, the companion combat system, Tali romance...you name it...they worked on it.  We love Dragon Age so much we have multiple copies on different platforms...We would have bought anything with Bioware on it...t-shirts, mugs, etc.   But wait....for most of the reasons that have been posted here by my fellow gamers...I feel like I have gotten a bucket of cold water to the face.  We have decided to wait and see...and that probably goes not just for Dragon Age 2, but all future Bioware games as well.  We will probably buy the game, but will wait for it to go to resale. 

PS.  I admit, ...I was confused...it appears I have mixed up the upcoming expansion with rumors of a "Sequel in 2011".  However, expansions usually involve building up or continuing...but in Awakening we lose companion relationships, locations, and DLC.  No point carrying a character over then.  We have the option of creating a new character for Awakening, but then what was the point of Origins?   I have read a great deal on the forum and other sites and I believe I am not the only one that is conflicted about the direction we are going.

what is funny is that bioware seems to have a great startegy for ME2 dlc - particularly the fact that everything to this point (including the firewalker missions in late march) is FREE and can be played post endgame (and yet still be carried over to ME 3). There have been no techincal issues (at least nothing I have downloaded), and they have a major dlc announcment played for early March. Conversely DA - has had ONE pay dlc which had major technical issues, and as we all know gives you items (great sentimental value) which cannot be used in the expansion. Then releases an expansion which cost 40.00 and essentially forgets that your character actually played DA. I give the ME blueprint and A and the DA blueprint a D-

Nah, I in the "Wait and See group"...but you can stay and hang out.  Besides it is easier to see where we are are at if we are all on one thread.

My thoughts exactly.

[The Real Bowser]

Yeah, I am going to wait and see if it's good too. After I buy it on release day, of course.

I mean it's Dragon Age Origins for crying out loud, Bioware isn't going to screw this up. The romances were cool but I do not care if they play a big role in this game. My only real fear is that this expansion will be too short. And I'm not too worried about that.

I guess I am concerned about bugs as well, but there weren't really any in the orignal that made things unplayable, except the ones for shapeshifting.  Yeah, that one did suck, but that's the only one I can think of that stands out.  That said Mass Effect (1) did have a lot of bugs that were never fixed, but overall I don't think bugs are going to be a big issue here.

I'm sorry but that is just stupid. You don't LOSE anything. Why does it need to have EVERYTHING from the old game available? Your guy is doing something else, with other people, during Awakening. WTF is it such a big deal that you make new friends? Come on guys, this is a stupid ass arguement.

If you romanced say... Leliana (like I did). They didn't say you break up with her or your relationship is totally ignored. It just isn't part of this adventure. She (or whomever you are pissed isn't returning) isn't glued to your side. You tell me that you've never left home to do something (work, vacation, spring break trip, etc) without your mother (Wynne), brother (Alistair), and girlfriend (Leliana). I mean come on...

DLC gear doesn't transfer? Well guess what??? It doesn't matter!!! It will be replaced inside 10 minutes of game play with COOLER stuff.

The point of Origins??? How is that even an arguement? You have the OPTION of creating a new character to experience Awakening a different way. OR you can continue YOUR character that you put 50 hours into by playing Origins.

Seriously, you all have issues if these are the paltry reasons you don't want Awakening.

If you liked Origins the odds are VERY HIGH that you will like Awakening. Quit complaining and play it.

Hm, I'll be waiting for all of those people that did pre-order to post on this board mainly about the game length (because the price for Awakening is the same price I paid for DA with Shale...) and continuity from origins the romances were pretty fun in origins but as long as the actions of the past are at least acknowledged then I'll feel a bit better about buying it bugged or no I'm sure the mod makers can come up with something (I want to make a mod for DA at least...)..

Or I can just finally finish Demon Souls and wait a few months like I did with DA...

[karma_killer09]

alot of things have been said about Awakening, and i understand your aprehension, but at the same time the expansion pack is made by the same developers and they obviously know what makes a game good for the fans, so im going to get it for sure, and im also looking forward to some knew companions and a chance to hear some new stories. P.S. If any of you have seen some of the pictures of the new weapons and armor, then i doubt you would want to wear or use your DLC stuff anyway....

This game makes it sound as if it is a crucial part of the ongoing DA sotry, so that alone sells me. The choices in DA:O lead into DA:A, and those choices all bundled up move over to DA2, much like ME1 to ME3.

After reading all the FAQ's, forum threads, and following developments on the DA:A homepage - it would appear that very little, if any, of the choices you made in DA:O carry over to DA:A. Now whether the choices you will make in DA:A will carry over to another Dragon Age expansion (or even over to DA2) remains to be seen.

Regardless, I have no  plans to add DA:A to my gaming collection, and do not feel my DA:O or future DA2 experiences (if I decide to buy DA2 that is) will suffer by my not playing DA:A
