Coming into any of those games blind you would never know that. Not everyone likes watching the first hour of a video game before it comes out.
No, there's a difference between me (a real life person) and my character. My character literally just learned her name moments ago, and then she's dead. No attachment, no connection. But me, the real person playing the game, I was under the impression that this was one of the few new characters, and then she's dead.Volourn wrote...
Hilarious. You claim it sucks Mhairi dies because there's no dramatic effect because nobody got attached but you go on, and on about how it perturbs you and others... because you got attached. BIO did awesome with that. This thread (and others prove this).

Yup Bratt, there are a few options where you can flirt with him and he flirts back and then I looked at my approval and it was 89 Love or something like that, yet with Ogrhen I got him all the way up and it was just friendly. I'm guessing its either a glitch or maybe IF they bring him in on DA 2 or another expac you will be able to romance him, its only frustrationg cos I cant talk to him anymore unless its a random trigger or the item triggers in the world.

Based on the reviews and many of the post I have read, I will not be buying this game. The fact that everyone says that it practically ignores the Origin story is embarrasing for Bioware.

I agree, I believe this was not a good decision. Yes, the 'Origins' part was over but just continue with an expansion that follows through with what our epilogues said.; it is only logical. How difficult would that have been? I don't understand why they would choose to stray away from the Origins story so much? I am certain the vast majority of people would have been much happier if they would have expanded on Origin's ending, I think that's what most people were expecting.

The basic point is, if you ignore the stuff that went on in Origins, how exactly is this an "expansion"? To me it is just a stripped down version of the original. Certainly not worth the asking price.

It's an expansion in the sense that you get a few cameo appearences, a few dialogue choices and a "Oh hey, you're a hero but we'll mention it ONCE."
LOL yeah, forgot to mention that. She's reacting as though we are yelling at her or threatening her or something.Charsen wrote...
Ok, this is a minor thing, but I crack up every time I ask the Private by the Vigil's Keep gates if I have messages (our version of ME2's Kelly)... and her response sounds so pained... it's awkward.

Allow me to first say this: I loved Origins. I slobbered over and practically procreated with that game. I've played every origin story through to the end, save for the castless dwarf which I'm getting around to. I obsessed over the game and I waited like a hyper active fan girl for awakening.
Now that I have it, I'm not impressed.
When importing my character I simply don't get the feel of the impact of any of the choices I made in origins. It's as if nothing I did in the rest of fereldan matters in my new land.
As an example, it's already been revealed that we get Oghren back, so this isn't a spoiler. In Origins that drunken dwarf was practically in love with me. I checked his loyalty meter now and it was back to square one with him, which doesn't make a lick of sense.
As for the rest of the characters...a lot of this just doesn't come together. For one thing we had romances in origins. I've been in love with everyone but Morrigan and I agreed to remain with all of them at the games end. What happens to your beloved when you go to Vigil's keep? I see no reason for a seperation and if there was, you get no explination and no mention of them. It makes very little sense and is something they very obviously just sort of shrugged thier shoulders at and went 'meh, oh well.'.
Your new companions lack any of the endearing qualities of the old. You can't even walk up to them and start a conversation, they just spout nonsense at you like any random, unimportant npc. You can't get to really know them on your own terms and, seeing as that was also a big part of what made origins great, it just puts a sour taste on the game. Not to mention it makes figuring out what gift to give to who a huge pain in the ass.
And why in the hell am I running all over the place doing beggars tasks? In origins your basically an outlaw, you need to scrap up gold everywhere you can, so taking up all these side missions makes sense. In Akawening I'm the GODDAMN QUEEN. If I need money and men, couldn't I just send a note to my husband and tell him to send some? It doesn't make any sense.
I fully admit that brining all the details and complex choices made in a previous game when importing your charcter would have been a monuemntal task. So many little descions that could affect the world. BUT: that's what this game is about. That's the beauty and draw of it. My actions matter. It doesn't feel that way in awakening.
Basically put, it's Dragon age origins with the guts carved out. It's a fun toy but there's not much really to it. Having played it for roughly 8 hours already, I feel confident in saying that I regret buying it. Should've waited to rent it or soemthign.

You know the more I look on these forums and the more I see how many people are upset with this game, the madder I get that I spent $40 dollars on it.
I feel tricked almost. Like the brilliance of Origins was some kind of lure to get me to flush a couple of 20's down the toilet. That money could have gone to a lot of other things (and as the mother of a 10 month old, believe me when I say a lot of other things I mean A LOT of other things).
I really hope Bioware is reading all of this. Because if they plan on making any more dragon age games, they can bet I won't be buying it unless they plan on going back to the original formula that was such an accomplishment.

Ack, this is making me nervous. Are they really NOT going to make any more expansions where we actually get to interact with the characters? It would help to know whether or not to spend any more money on the franchise in the future. RPGs are all about getting to know the characters we encounter and interacting with the world.
