As the title states.

The video chat confirmed that we'd have an ability to unlock Reaver and Blood Mage in Awakening, in case we missed them in Origins. My question is, can I unlock Blood Mage in Awakening and then see it back in Origins?

[LeoExgb3]

Or here's a better question: Once we unlock the NEW specializations in Awakening (i.e. Legionaire Scout, Battlemage, etc) can we use them in Origins?

[RedBaron3]

I'm not sure if we can (I think the devs poo-pooed it early on), though a patch, upgrade or DLC to do so would be lovely.

Wait, my question or his question?

I'm pretty sure my question originated yesterday, I haven't seen many people ask it...

[Cuthlan]

I believe the OP's question is a new question, and an interesting one.



No, the new specializations added in Awakening don't work in Origins. But whether or not unlocking Blood Mage in Awakening also unlocks it in Origins is a good question.

No you can't. They said that the importing to Awakening is a one way option.

Sorry am annoyed for other reasons. No new specs dont go back to Origins. Been answered many times.

Nah, I got that. But the unlock for Blood Mage and Reaver are on the account, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't also unlock for Origins.

Yes, but that is for your character's save. Unlocking specializations in Origins isn't based on that character, it is for your whole "account" (so to speak). And if the specialization is available in Origins... it might. I'm curious now. I have them all unlocked so it doesn't matter to me, but it still has me curious.

Once the specs and abilities are there it seems inevitable that there will be a 3rd party fix, probably even from one of the toolset developers on this site. It just doesn't seem right for these specs and abilities to not be available through the whole game.

I'm running on an older computer, so Dragon Age runs best on low-medium settings (I don't ever get blood splatter!). I've been avoiding a mage playthrough because of this - when I want to sling massive spells around, I want to get the best graphics for my money, since I can't upgrade for another six months.

Ergo, I haven't been able to unlock Blood Mage for my account - it's the only spec I haven't done - and I want to have some sort of legitimacy in doing so. I also have a friend who plays the game on XBox, so she can't unlock Blood Mage (she's not really into mages). Understandably, this limits our options when choosing to spec out companions - Morrigan would be a wonderful Blood Mage, and if Wynne's going to call her a maleificar, well, why shouldn't the appellation be true?

So if my Warrior or Rogue could unlock BM in Awakening, and I can spec out Morrigan back in Origins, I'm interested. I just hope a dev sees this post and gives us an update.

Did he? I watched the live show, and I didn't catch that.

I doubt it helps, and you've probably already considered it, but the opportunity to unlock Blood Mage is definitely not very far into the game. You could roll up a mage and just basically control alistair or another character and head straight to redcliffe.

I've thought about it, and doubtless it's something I'll have to do; I guess I could just fiddle around with the scripts and warp through the game very quickly.

Then they should've put it in the FAQ.

I just checked what Ferret said, Eli, and he said that we'd have an opportunity to unlock Blood Mage and Reaver, not that it would transfer. In fact, he didn't say anything on the topic at all, hence my question!

[RedBaron3]

Bump!

[ankuu]

It doesn't transfer, i am sure. It was said on IGN as far as i remeber the source, that the transffering is a one way route.

Think like this. Awakening takes place AFTER Origins. You can't teleport back in time.

EDIT: Look.

You also have the option to import your character from Origins through loading a saved game, and that can be done at any time. You actually don't need to have completed Origins to jump into Awakening, but it is a one way process. Once you make the jump to fast forward that amount of time, you effectively end that Origins campaign and you begin the Awakening campaign with that character. You can always go back to your Origins save and continue that separately, but once you go into Awakening, because of the level up and the time passage, there is no coming back to Origins at that point.

It's utterly amazing how people don't or refuse to read information about the game on the game's website.

[TheRealIncarnal]

Can someone get a definitive link to that "no"?

[RedBaron3]

Hopefully we'll get a dev to answer this definitively tomorrow, when they check the forums.
