Yeah, that's when they're finally releasing the patch to fix all the bugs in Awakening. They may even fix the dex issue in Origins and the frame rate on PS3 as well, that's my best guess.

Won't that be the case?

Awakenings is an expansion, not a continuation of Origins - That's why it's called Dragon Age: Origins - Awakenings.  Look at the box.  The Awakenings expansion is a side trip for the PC and it is optional to the main storyline; that's why there's little to no mention of the companions from DA:O.  If anything happens to a companion in Awakenings (ie getting killed), it would have dire consequences in the continuing storyline.

The sequel will be called Dragon Age2: XXXXX where XXXXX is yet to be named.  Maybe something like Dragon Age2: Revelations.  DA2 will continue the main storyline and carryover the previous companions with all of their relationships to the PC.  It would be a much bigger project than Awakenings which is only a side trip.

And just how do you now all that? How do you know DA" will carry over the Awakening characters and continue the main storyline.

And tell me this...after we completed the circle quest...how come it wasn't rebuilt> Why when you revisit it bodies are still lying on the floor...rooms are still in disarray and Irving and the rest are just standing around doing nothing.

Was Redcliffe rebuilt? Was Denerim rebuilt?

I hate games where everything is left in ruins....just like Oblivion.

You battle all the way through...win them...but see nothing for it.

Maybe its an mmorpg. I remember they was supposedly working on one for awhile. I remember reading it somewhere in the Bioware site. Maybe its DA Online ? Which might explain why there is no multiplayer function within these like there was for the NWN-Neverwinter Nights series.

I'm hoping it's a direct sequel from Origins.

I trust in Bioware/EA's greed factor.  Dragon Age 2 as a continuation of the Dragon Age:Origins saga is an automatic money-maker.  If you tell the public that DA2 will feature Morrigan, Lelianna, Alistair et al, people will buy it up sight unseen = cash-cow.  They already have the background story and characters to build upon.  From a development point of view, this is easier and less costly than starting from scratch.

And for  your information . . . The Circle is rebuilt and Wynne becomes First Enchanter.  Redcliffe is rebuilt and Teagan becomes Arl and eventually marries Bella (if you sent her to Teagan) otherwise, she renames the bar the Warden's Rest (if Lloyd died in the attack).  Denerim is rebuilt too.  Lanaya becomes leader of the Dalish who are more welcomed into Human society though there are still some skirmishes.  All of these details are in the epilogue statements, if you bothered to read any of it.  They can't repair everything in the space of a few weeks that it takes you to travel between places - that would be unrealistic.

Did you rush through the game without reading everything?  Did you not talk to everyone after the Coronation?  If so, you're missing out on a lot of the storyline and what happens to everyone.

disagree u killed archdemon in DAO now u have to kill something else thts leading the darkspawn also in DAO the queen/king said the grey wardens now own the land or Amerianthien so it is a continueation from DAO but do not kno if it will be linked to DAO2

[Zy-El]

The AD is dead, but there are still darkspawn roaming about - as is alluded to in the epilogue. Awakenings is only one side chapter in the overall storyline. Not everyone is going to purchase Awakenings and Bioware/EA knows that. Besides, there are more AD's out there. Remember, it says in the ancient books that the darkspawn are continually seeking out Old Gods to corrupt and become AD's to lead them to the surface world.

[Zy-El]

I've bought Awakenings but have not installed it yet. Going to finish my AW playthrough first.



Do you think any of the implications at the conclusion of Awakenings will carry into the main storyline or can they be ignored? I know that you don't form any new relationships. Other than the PC being level 30-35, I don't think there is any change that will carry over to DA2. Who knows - maybe even the gear from Awakenings may not be importable to DA2. Be prepared for that.

[Atmosfear3]

More than likely another DA:O expansion. One year isn't a very sufficient amount of time to produce a sequel that would be noticeably improved from the first.

[Sinsational]

My guess is it's the next big expansion like Awakening, only longer. Possibly a "full-fledged game's worth" of content. Awakening was probably just brought out to sate our appetite in the coming months. Hell, they're probably introducing a new setting in Thedas. We've seen Fereldan and Amaranthine, but there's a whole continent to explore! Rivain, the Anderfels, the Free Marches, who knows.



I'm guessing that since Awakening was the final chapter of the Origins Warden, and possibly the Orlesian Warden-Commander, that we're starting from scratch again.

[Psychoray]

I hope they don't rush it. Awakening sucked because of it. But we're dealing with EA here, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

This is great.

Yes i did read ALL the epilogue and understood what happens. But i think you'll find that providing you gave Kaitlyn enough money for her grandfathers sword (which i did) she eventually gets to Denerim and marries Teagan. Bella i believe starts her own brewery.

But what i do not like about the ending was all the chatter about Leliana saying we will travel the world together (if you romanced her which i did ) and then finding she won't be traveling with you anywhere in the next instalment or after that even.

It kind of makes you feel you did it all for nothing....why did it have to be like that?

And ok The AD is dead but not buried...i don't think anybody stayed along enough to mop up all the dead...so maybe the undead feasted on the AD body and turned into super darkspawn that could fly

I stand corrected.  Getting my helpless maids mixed up.  I've gone through 4 play-throughs and on my 5th.

In two of them, Leliana is my love too.    And yes, I did the Ritual so that she wouldn't have to mourn me or do worse.  I too said I'd travel the world with her for one and have her with me to rebuild the Wardens in the other.  And yes, I agree with you that it would be a waste of emotional investment to see it all be for naught.

I think part of EA's strategy is to hook you by those heart-strings and say that DA2 will include Leliana et al.  Would you be guaranteed to buy it??  I think so.  And that's what they're banking on.  Evil, aren't they? 

[Malavinious]

I'm guessing Dragon Age 2 - they spent along time creating the engine and game mechanics and now it shouldn't be too hard to create simply another main story to play through.
