Voice acting wise you can actually recognise Alistair's voice right away. Nothing you haven't really seen before mostly. You're generally trekking through dark, dimly lit environments most of the time but occasionally you're back out in the wild full of the familiar but wonderful looking ruins and foilage.

Since this is just an expansion, there's really not much change visually. There's a lot more quests to do than all the download content that has only lasted for less than an hour so far. There's some new skills - About one new row for each class such as granting you extra health or mana. It's also disappointing most of them aren't even successfully recruited and despite having a number of gifts to pick up, you can't actually speak to the new characters to increase friendship. I also find it kind of stupid how you can recruit any character you want as a 'Grey Warden' which makes it feel as if nothing really important's going on any longer. On the other hand, decisions don't feel quite as engaging as in the original because you don't talk to many key characters that might end up changing the course of the story. Unfortunately you can't talk to them like you can in the original. Once that's done, you're thrown right away into combat with around two new characters. The odd thing is it doesn't let you keep any of the equipment from the download content. You're given the option to create a new character or import your old one. You find it under 'Other Campaigns' instead after loading up the original game which kind of makes you wonder how much content there is. Now it's time for you to get to the root of it all while meeting a whole new cast of characters.Īfter a lengthy patch to 1.03 and installing the expansion, you'll find it doesn't get its own shortcut. In ' The Awakening', you're now the Warden-Commander who is out to re-establish the Order of the Wardens but upon arrival at Vigil's Keep in Amaranthine north of the old Denerim, you find it's been attacked by Darkspawn - An evolved kind that seem more intelligent and can talk. As long as the game's quality remains more or less the same.

Just 3 months after Bioware released their D&D Dragon Age Origins game, they release a brand new expansion pack and hints the true sequel will follow next year in 2011.
