A expansion disk is coming out for this game in March. Since I'm no longer getting FFXIII I now know what I'll be doing. You need the original game to use the disk, it's not dlc sized it's a whole new area (think ffxi expansion). Not sure how big it will be compared to the original though.

Video of the new expansion. May be considered as spoilers with people showing up alive and such (well depending on how your game turned out I guess).

Expansion details:


US, January 5, 2010 - Today, BioWare and Electronic Arts put rumors to rest and announced Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, the first official expansion pack which is slated to be released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 16, 2010. The expansion will require Dragon Age: Origins and will cost $39.99.

Set after the events of Dragon Age: Origins in the land of Amaranthine, players will take on the role of a Grey Warden trying to rebuild the order of legendary warriors. Along with this monumental task, players will have to discover new secrets of the Darkspawn menace as well as face off against deadly new threats such as the Inferno Golem, Spectral Dragon and a mysterious foe that calls itself the "Architect." Fortunately, Awakening raises the level cap of the game, and provides new abilities, spells, specializations and items for players to acquire.

Players will also have the option to import and revise their characters from Dragon Age: Origins, expanding on the customization of their heroes. Players can also choose to create a brand new Grey Warden from the land of Orlais. Five new party members will also be available for players to recruit and add to their band of adventurers.

According to BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka, "Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening shows BioWare's commitment to our fans by delivering new story-driven experiences which enrich the dark heroic fantasy universe our fans have come to know and love. The vibrant worldwide community of Dragon Age fans will relish uncovering the secret motivations of the darkspawn, revealing how the darkspawn continue to infest the world despite the defeat of the Archdemon."

* Choices in Origins definitely are recognized in the expansion.

* You do import all of your gear from Origins, but not from the chest in Soldier's Peak. But you can always pull out what you like, save, then import that save.

* You can't play an Orlesian Grey Warden in Origins.

* Amaranthine is indeed the coastal arling that once belonged to Rendon Howe. And, of course, everyone will speak with a Jamaican accent. OK, maybe that last part isn't true.

Edit: And lol on being a reaver so soon. I'm not even able to be one yet. Darn my choices in my first two plays.

*If you get the Reaver Class before me ur done!

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
l2p
Got it first time through.

[Ploid]

Haha you win this time Sef. So what are you going to use it on? Your tank, or a DD?

[Mrdude]

I got the Champion one instead because I didn't wanna piss people off in my party

apparently you can save it before that event happens, keep playing one way, then reload and go the other way and still have the reaver.

didn't know that until after or I'd have done that, hehe.

[ItsSeflol]

Gave it to my guy with capped dual wield everythings.
Almost done my first play through - at the Landsmeet part, after this it's Brutal Legend and then prolly play a different job class 'til FFXIII/the x-pac.

[Mrdude]

I got hooked on Cod lately, I'm just finished the earl emon part, I'll prolly continue it once Cod starts to bore me

also, max dual wield and pumping dex is rape. I can tank on my guy better than Shale or Alistar, its pretty pro

[Kooyo]

i've been playin this alot lately but im not too far, seems more like an oblivion type game, but i like it

[ItsSeflol]

The endings are so fucking gay. <_<
It's like a CS, explains what happens to a couple people..but not your entire party, and then just ends.
Literally.
It takes you back to the main menu right after the credits.

[Killer]

I have a dual wielding berserker (my main), a spirit healing arcane warrior (Wynne), Shale the tank, and a singing duelist (Leliana). Leliana is really effing weak and I wish I could get rid of her but I made it where she can unlock anything... My main dual wielding berserker literally does 50% of my party damage. Leliana is like 20%. I can't find rings worth a damn most the time, but I just kinged Horrowmont and got key to the city. How do you see other people's profile on EA so I can show off my build? D:

[Mrdude]

pretty sure there's a website somewhere
