Dragon Age: Awakening
Since this is planned for March, it should probably get its own thread. Here are some videos showing off 2 new NPC's and the Children, some sort of abominations that are presumably Darkspawn of some sorts. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/02 ... wakenings/In case you forgot, this was the announcement trailer http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/05/drago ... -foretold/

Re: Dragon Age: Awakenings
New character vid...Sigrun, dwarven warrior and part of the (excessively cool) Legion of the Dead. http://g4tv.com/videos/44279/Exclusive_ ... n_Trailer/Also, previews and even the rare hands-on are pouring in. Some stuff: http://www.rpgwatch.com/#14405I'm actually excited. Anything to lengthen my DA experience substantially at a similar level of quality is interesting, to say the least.

Re: Dragon Age: Awakening
Yea, I'll almost certainly buy it. Obviously the first was quite good. I may not buy it on release, though. I don't have a ton of time to put to gaming, after all.

Re: Dragon Age: Awakening
haha, I was kind off putting off buying it until I heard some more opinions but I suppose I'm gonna buy it regardless when it comes out. You're right, more DA is just too good to turn down. Hard to believe it's coming out next week already - early next week for you yanks. (15th and 18th of March)

Re: Dragon Age: Awakening
| | | | Quote: GB: By the time a character reaches level 20 in the base game, there really aren't any desirable talents left to choose from. How do you intend to keep things fresh and ensure that we have plenty of appealing advancement options when the level cap is raised even further? How many more spells and other talents are you implementing in the expansion? Will these fall under the existing talent trees (Archery, Entropy, Two-Handed, etc.) or will we be seeing additional talent categories for each class? Care to give us an example or two?
Ferret: When we extended the level cap in Awakening (from 25 to 35) we also added a ton of new spells and abilities. There’s over 50 new ones to choose from, so there’s more new high level talents than you can get with one character. There’s two basic type of talents we’ve added – the talents that support our new specializations and those which are available to the core classes. The ones that give more goodies to the core classes fall into existing talent trees. Each type of weapon combat has another talent chain added to it. So two handed weapons, weapon and shield, dual wield, and archery all have four new abilities apiece. Mages get two new spell chains, as well. You have to be high level to pick up the new talents, but they’re often more potent than anything you’ve seen before.
An example of a warrior ability is “Peon’s Plight”. This ability allows a warrior to outright kill any one normal or critter level enemy, or deal a lot of damage to anyone else. This allows warriors to really change the tide of many battles. For example, if you start a fight and you see a non-elite Hurlock emissary in the back ranks – just bull rush him and lop off his head in one fell swoop. Conan would be proud.
Another awesome ability that both warriors and rogues can pick up is “Accuracy”. It’s a modal ability for archers that once activated increases the effectiveness of all of your ranged combat stats. The difference is immediate and noticeable. If you get the entire Archery ability chain it feels like Legolas has got your back. | | | | |

Re: Dragon Age: Awakening
Hey Satsi, how is Awakening priced on yankee steam? 40 bucks?

Re: Dragon Age: Awakening
Haha, how was that even not-so subtle? Thanks. I guess it won't be worth the trouble of acquiring it over American steam then (it's 30 € in Europe).

Re: Dragon Age: Awakening
Mm I'm waiting for reviews now, I mean the expansion is due in days (maybe already tomorrow for our yankee doodle friends) and I haven't heard any critical response yet. Who am I kidding though, I'll buy it anyway. The flesh is weak. The mind too.

Re: Dragon Age: Awakening
Review on Eurogamer: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/drago ... ing-reviewGoes on to say many fine things, and a 9/10 overall score. Guess I'm heading to steam now to spend my 30 simoleons.

Re: Dragon Age: Awakening
I went ahead and bought it. am installing it now. I realized that with Op Flash done, I didn't really have much else to play at the moment.
