For fans of both Origins and Awakening, Leliana’s Song is a must buy for anyone who is curious to find out the history of Leliana. The DLC is somewhat short, but it is satisfying for anyone who wants to spend more time in Dragon Age: Origins. Let’s hope we will get more of this kind of downloadable content from Bioware in the future.

Dragon Age had me really get in touch with my inner D&D, and the Awakening expansion pack just furthers it. Being able to level up higher, finding and using rare and powerful equipment, and fighting the Darkspawn, this expansion pack adds to the fun. The over-13 hours of new gameplay may sound short but it is just enough to add on to the experience.

Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening is an expansion that will please those who enjoyed the original game, although many would probably have preferred a tighter integration into the original's story particularly in the area of the decisions made by the player in the first game.

Dragon Age Origins: Awakening is a great extention to the experience; there isn’t a doubt about that. However, it’s a great piece of content because it is simply a story, inventory and character expansion on the original title, which was already great. Still, it falls a little on the short side, clocking in at around ten to fifteen hours, twenty if you’re a perfectionist.

All in all, Awakening is a fun title for those who’ve endured the original, but those new to the series will probably take a pass. Despite some bugs, stale companions and rehashed enemies, Awakening offers new armor, weapons and skills, as well as an interesting and well-paced story that’s long enough to justify the price tag.

Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening is exactly what a proper expansion pack should be. With 15 hours of story, new spells and talents, and new areas to explore you’re getting a great deal for $40. Awakening will set the standards for future additional content, especially in BioWare RPGs. While Return to Ostagar was hit-or-miss, any Dragon Age fan shouldn’t miss out on this very solid expansion.

Compared to the original Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening doesn’t offer the same kind of outstanding value–$40 for under 20 hours of questing, as opposed to the 50-plus hours of the $50 main game. Yet the length is nothing to sneeze at, particularly when the questing is this involving. Your objectives are typical role-playing tropes–fetch a plant, kill some demons, seek out the apostate mages–but good quest writing gives them context, and improved art design makes some of the environments fun to explore.

In spite or perhaps because of all that’s been said so far, the decision to pick up Awakening is fairly cut-and-dry. Those who liked Origins and were chomping at the bit for a second playthrough before the credits finished rolling probably have this already. Those turned off by the samey sidequests and endless dungeons may find Awakening more forgiving, if only because the expansion keeps a closer eye on the clock.

In Dragon Age Origins, BioWare struck pay dirt; creating an epic fantasy world within which gamers love to play. Ferelden was rife with dangers and stories that made it a treat to play through several times, endearing players to the interesting characters, the weighty history, and the lush, lived-in world.

In this day and age, we tend to expect expansion packs and DLC to either eclipse their parent title, or - and this is much more likely, wallow in mediocrity and downright failure. Developers have spoiled gamers, add ons like Mask of the Betrayer, The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Secret Armory of General Knoxx are outright better than the original games, to the point where the vanilla title feels almost worthless without them.

You may also be wondering what is left to do in the land of Ferelden after the Grey Wardens have effectively ended the latest Blight. In Awakening, the first large expansion to Origins, players will either continue the role of the Grey Warden they created in Origins, or create a new Grey Warden from scratch. Either way, the Warden heads for the city of Amaranthine, where the remaining Darkspawn seem to be a continued threat.

The Darkspawn Blight was blotted out at the conclusion of Dragon Age: Origins, thereby ending your Grey Warden's reason for existing. So what's left to do? Rebuild and move on, apparently, and those are the dominant themes of Awakening. Many RPGs have been set in worlds under siege by diabolical forces, but few have explored the devastating aftermath of their wars.

Well, that didn’t take long, did it? Five months after the release of Dragon Age: Origins and we already have content that feels more along the lines of a sequel rather than a half-hearted piece of add-on content. Awakening really expands the storyline by not only opening up a new part of Ferelden to explore, but also bringing back those bastard darkspawn, with a strange new enemy called the Architect leading the way. Fortunately, you’ve got some sufficient back-up with a few new characters watching your back.

It’s been a little while since we defeated the Archdemon (the corrupted old god in the shape of a giant high dragon), about six months to a year by my watch, but the Darkspawn did not disband and retreat to the Deep Roads.

I’m five minutes into Awakening’s respectable 20-ish hour campaign, and already I’m fighting Darkspawn. This is annoying for two reasons. Firstly, because I spent a good sixty hours or more ensuring that the Blight was ended and that these little buggers wouldn’t be ravaging and killing any more. Secondly, because they’re exactly the same Genlocks, Hurlocks and Shriek’s that I’ve fought about a million times before.

The $5-15 adventure modules for Dragon Age: Origins are side adventures that add about an hour of gameplay apiece. BioWare's vision for Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening was much more ambitious, though. It's a $40 expansion pack that continues the main campaign from Origins. While it's certainly larger and a better bargain than the modules, it doesn't avoid the main problem with downloadable content: more isn't always better.

On the surface, Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening promises an embarrassment of riches for fans of the original epic, including fresh talents, three new skill chains, an expanded roster of party members and more than 500 new items. But while this expansion is better than many of the standalone role players battling for your buck right now, Awakening feels too similar to its predecessor and offers little that’s fresh or revolutionary.

Many games are jumping on the DLC bandwagon, but the concept of an ‘expansion pack’ is somewhat foreign to console gamers. It isn’t a new thing to the folks at Bioware though; some of the best role playing games of all time have received the expansion pack treatment. Bioware has followed up the 2009 RPG of the year, Dragon Age: Origins, with Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening. Would Awakening bring more of the same quality, or would this taste like a mish-mash of DLC gumbo?

In the age of DLC, expansions are a tricky proposition. It used to be that any PC developer could throw some new campaign content on a disc, sell if for 20 dollars and call it a day. Now, players expect to see DLC for everything, and the obligations for expansions have increased accordingly. Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening would seem at first glance to fill that role well. It’s been positioned as not just the next chapter, but the next book in the Dragon Age fiction. It covers the expansion bases with more spells, more skills, more gear, more characters, more, well, everything, really.

In general, it's a pretty good expansion that supplies more Dragon Age. Story-wise, it takes place six months after Origins, and focuses on how you become the new Warden-Commander of Vigil's Keep, a fortress located in Amaranthine (an entirely new region north of Origin's Ferelden, full of forests, mines, dungeons, and towns). You can either import your existing Origins Grey Warden (regardless of how you ended the game), or play as an Orlesian (Dragon Age-speak for "medieval France") Grey Warden.

Let's remove any confusion from the start. Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening is not another piece of crappy DLC following the dismal inclusions we've seen since the BioWare RPG's release last November. This expansion is 25 hours of full-scale new content, essentially an entire new game, that picks up the story however you may have left it. It has a new setting, a (mostly) new crew of companions, new abilities, skills, spells and talents, and most importantly, a re-imagined approach that's appropriate to a shorter format while still achieving the necessary sense of scale.

Dragon Age Origins is easily one of my favorite games of the last few years and I think that I love it for exactly the same reason that many other gamers can't stand it -- it's big, it's heavy on story, and it's unashamedly nerdy. So when the chance came to dive back into Ferelden with the Awakening expansion, it was a done deal for me. As long as BioWare didn't rock the boat too much, I was pretty much guaranteed to enjoy it.

You still get the same type of battle system and the same type of control scheme as the first game had intact. What'd different is the ability to do some fantastic changing of character attributes and a slew of customizations that expand from the original concept.

Dragon Age: Origins verhalf im Alleingang einem nahezu totgeglaubten Subgenre des Rollenspiels zu altem Ruhm und ließ Spieler wochenlang in die finstere Welt von Ferelden eintauchen. Nun ist es Zeit, in diese Welt zurückzukehren, zu erwachen vom kurzen Winterschlaf. Denn die dunkle Brut ist noch nicht besiegt, im Gegenteil: Sie ist gefährlicher als je zuvor.
