regarding performance - at the beginning it went smooth, but the further i went in the game and especially the longer i played within one sitting, the worste the performance got and the longer the loading times (i have a i7 920, 6ram, win7 64 and a ati 5870)

Take a break your computer is overheating..  Shut the game off, better yet the computer.. for an hour or two and play again.

lets not hope that, on my last desktop the gpu was roasted 3 times! same just recently happend on my notebook - wtf - ?!?

So can we edit our imported character's looks before we play?

Which system did you get it for? 360 or PC?

[Leon Elsa]

Judging from the screenshots he posted he got it for the PC.

 Feels like a lead-in to another game, you say? Interesting.

Did it feel like it was hinting at a further continuation for this Warden's story, or did it feel like this story came to a final end?

did you test the dw warrior? the 2h warrior was pretty weak compared to the dw warrior in origins.

Is anyone *really* concerned that the thing that I have heard criticised the most by players is... the storyline?

That and the "continuing" elements that seem to have completely flown away...

Yes, but I'm also aware that a storyline that's 50% as good as Origins is 100% better than most other games, so it probably evens out. They set the bar pretty high with the first one. That always makes things tough.

I've accepted that there isn't much tie in between Origins and this one. I'm okay with that, as long as we return to the story that I want to see continue in the next one. If we keep going to new characters, I'll be very disappointed. But for this one? Okay, we're away from our lives.

And we have to bear in mind that the two users who posted their review for now both romanced Morrigan, and it actually makes sense that there is no mention or direct involvment of our favorite (so to speak) Witch of the Wild. We still don't know if other romanceable companions from Origins are more present (even with letters, off-screen dialogues etc) in the expansion pack.

[Nemesis7884]

2h is much much stronger with the skills... havent played dw a lot... shield and sword is basically a meat shield

there is some remark to origins companions at the end ;-)

Though I didn't go for Leliana myself, I'm very interested in seeing how her absence was explained/handled in-game, given how fond of her so many others seemed to be.

Well, for one I'll be severely disappointed if Zevran doesn't find the time to write my Warden at least a letter

Hey, slow down there! We've got to take this one step at a time. Step one being confirmation that Leliana/Zevran haven't been killed off by falling rocks or spontaneous combustion or liver poisoning from sampling Oghren's personal stash or something. Then we can start wondering about really sexy romantic stuff like letters or what have you.

@ Nemesis7884

Did/Are, you having any of the issues that many others are having after the 1.03 patch, crashing to desktop, increased game lag, etc?



Just curious.

[Booglarize]

Also, Nemesis - I heard on one of the other threads that there isn't any "epilogue save" once you beat Awakening? Is this true?

Not letter. E-mail.

Come on guys, be realistic.

Look at Oblivion and the shivering isles, there was hardly any tie between Cyrodiil and Shivering isles and that expansion was great.

I'm taking in all the reviews but i'm leaving my opinion unbiased, simply because i loved DA:O so much, i'm also completing it again before the 18th ^^

Well, bugger. Does that seem like compelling proof that our character's story is getting wrapped up for good in Awakening to anyone else?

[Nemesis7884]

no save

decent looking 2h swords and also some other unique looking weapons

had some crashes with the 1.03b, no with 1.03, but having lags after about 1-2 hours in the game

To be fair, the main selling point of the Elder Scrolls  games was the sense of freedom and exploration, as opposed to character development and narrative. I mean, I like the series and all and I played through both Morrowind and Oblivion, and despite them both being huge games, I never once felt really attached to my own character, or felt that his relationships with other people in the world held any real meaning. So with those games you're not really losing too much if you go down that route. 

Completely different for BioWare games, though - I might even go so far as to say that the single most important thing, consistently, has been character development. Given that they've built up this good cast of characters for DA:O, there's much more to lose here by jumping from one unconnected game to the next and not giving their stories some meaningful sense of closure.

Well, for their sakes, I hope it isn't like how people "heard from" their ME1 love interests in ME2. It would especially suck, given that they won't even have the option to cheat on them here...

my origin time was:
1pt: 90 hours
2pt: 30 hours

awakening is now 32 hours, but i spent at least 10 hours repsecing, crafting etc... im sure you can easily beat it in less then 15 hours, maybe 10 if youre fast

You're a slow gamer no doubt. My origin games takes 40 ish hours every run. Given this ratio i'll get about 15 hours out of awakening per run. Seems about right. Can't wait.

Thats really all I'm expecting, if that... probably just a letter or something. Although I'd love to be proven wrong.
