Not a bad game over all, could have been much better...my only real complaint is spending 43$ for a game I cleared in one night. Several changes I would have made...(Throwing Romance back in to name one..that amused the heck out of me in the original.) But I did like the gag weapons (They are not bad perse, but by the time you get them you probably have better.) Flemeths Broomstick and Lampost in Winter.  Over all not bad...way to much for one nights entertainment though.

Yeah you guys are getting ripped off. In the UK it retails for £15 for PC which equates to around $22. Much more reasonable.

I don't know about you, but I'm 10+ hours in with my first character, an Orlesian...and I have 7 Origins characters at this point that need to go through the expansion eventually as well. If it takes just 10 hours for each character, that's 70 hours of game play minimum, which for 40 bucks isn't too shabby.



The game is what you make of it, I suppose.

See it from the bright side: It's still cheaper than a prostitute and has definitely more replay-value.

One night???!!!  WOW!  I wish I had the time...I was lucky to get a couple hours last night when I got home.  If this thing will take 15 to 25 hours to complete, I have weeks of gaming ahead...

This wins.

Some people say it took them 10 hours and some say it took them 35. Depends on how your characters are built, how many side-quests you do, how much you explore, if you mess around with merchants/economy, if you do crafting, if you respec to make new builds, all sorts of things like that. I'm sure you can power through Awakening in 10 hours, but you can also get through Origins in 20 hours easily, if not faster. I know from experience that a lot of my time was spent talking to party members in camp, reloading saves over and over to get the "right" conversation options and quest outcomes, etc. If I spent 60 hours but my game time counter only reads 30 because of my obsessive quicksaving and reloading, can I factor that into the game's "actual length"?

So you rush cleared it in a night and now you whine ? I mean you obviously missed LOTS. Most peoples say Awekaning takes between 20 to 30 hours to do. For me 20-30 hours of entertainment is well worth 40$. Hell it cost more to get out for dinner with the family and it last only 1 hour. And i'm not talking about the replay value.

Prostitutes have replay value?

[guise709]

You decide what your moneys worth. If you want to blow through the entire game in one night don't come here complaining you wasted your money. I don't enjoy rushing through my games cause I enjoy getting the most out of it and getting as much fun out of the game. So I spend a lot of time messing around.

My first playthrough of Origins took me about 65 hours. Every one after that varied but it was closer to 20-25. You are 100% right. It is what each individual person makes of the game and how they want to play it.

[KentGoldings]

If you reckon worth by a single playthrough, there's no reason to buy any game. I completed ten-different charcater on DA:O and I plan to do the same on awakenings. Rushing through a game and then ****-canning it is your own fault, not the fault of the game designers.

I bought a pair of cross-country skis from LLBEAN a couple of years ago and I've used them twice. I didn't complain to LLBEAN because I underused them.


On the other hand,  once I get done paying for dinner, movie and a baby sitter.. A night out with by wife can push $200.  $43 sounds like a bargain.

You are getting ripped off.

[Domyk]

So you just play one run through with your first toon and just put it on the shelf huh?

I like playing multiple toons to see what different conversation choices result in. And don't forget Dragon Age Modders, those guys are amazing. I expect some good stuff coming in a few weeks.

heck some guy already made a mod so that all your DLC items import to awakening

Considering I play "Dead Is Dead" (start over if killed), I expect it'll take me many hours, and numerous restarts before I'm done. For me, from what I've heard thus far, this is good "bang for the buck". I'd rather be "over charged" than for such games to never be developed in the first place. I only find 1 or 2 games each year worthy of playing - so for less than $100 I get my annual game entertainment sufficiently satisfied.

You want romance in Awakenings?  It's in there.  Just gotta get Oghren all liquored up first, then he's a cheap date.  Just watch out for the funky green rash he's gotten.

Jeez people, I'm not saying we should all agree with the OP but we dont need to flame them either. The OP felt like it was over-priced, that's a totally fair comment, some who have played it felt it was well worth the money spent and thats also fair.



Let's try to be a little more courteous on the boards here, I see post after post where the OP says something not "popular" and get's ripped a new one because of it, kinda ridiculous.

[PSUHammer]

But, wasn't Bioshock 2 $60 for like 8 hours of gameplay?

Did people forget all of a sudden that the average gamer only plays the main story line of a game once before moving onto a new game????

I wish I had that kind of money, and/or I wish there were enough worth-while games to indulge. I'll resort to the toolset for modifying once I tire of the default game.

You REALLY need to get a life if you finished in ONE night...
