The perverted and probably alcoholic dwarf Ohgren plays a much bigger role this time and has become even more fun as a result. Most in the gang are new, but some familiar faces pop up now and again.
One thing that hasn't change is Bioware's amazing characters. The missions are shorter this time around though, which gives Dragon Age: Origins a faster tempo but, at the same time, a shorter life-span. Before I even set foot outside my new keep my to-do list is filled with stuff I need to take care of.
But it's also filled with side quests, and every person I meet seems to want me rescue their kidnapped daughter or help some attacked village somewhere. The game follows a similar structure to the original, where you get a couple of main missions that you can do in whatever order you want to. At the same time I'm often a victim of conspiracies, which is the dark side of being a celebrity I guess.Īs a ruler, I have tons of things to do. Of course, everyone is never happy and I have to choose my battles wisely, or just roleplay my way through the situation at hand ("what would my character do?"). I get to settle disputes, decide how the rather limited resources should be divided and even judge in criminal cases. It also means I have to make a couple of new decisions. As leader of the Grey Wardens I am the ruler of the area, and everyone from farmers to noblemen have bend to my will. My new-found status gives a whole other feel to the adventure this time around. If you import your old self all your decisions, relationships and gear will be transferred over to the new campaign, and you will be upgraded to a more fitting level and given a couple of new abilities to play around with. From there, you can choose if you want to import your old character or start a new one from the country of Orlais, in which case the game will take for granted that no Grey Warden remained in Ferelden. I've walked straight into an ambush, and before we can call the interior decorator to have a look at the dungeons it's time to kick some serious evil butt.Īs an expansion for Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening adds a new option to the game's start menu. The welcome comittee is not made of cheering knights, though instead I'm greeted by darkspawn and a troll.
The keep used to belong to Arl Rendon Howe, but after his betrayal it has passed on to the Grey Wardens and as leader of the order I'm supposed to set the situation straight. Soon after the events in Dragon Age: Origins, I'm slowly making my way to Vigil's Keep in Amaranthine, the northeastern part of Ferelden.
