Gamespot on the DLC: Return to Ostagar

dwarfstyle — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 14:54:52 +0000

Last week, BioWare offered news both good and not-so-good to those not ready to put down the war banner in Dragon Age: Origins. On the positive side, BioWare announced Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, a new, $40 campaign that sees players rebuilding the Grey Warden order following the events of the original game. However, the news came alongside BioWare’s decision to postpone the imminent launch of the Return to Ostagar add-on.

Whatever the problem holding up Return to Ostagar may have been, BioWare has apparently now rectified it. The developer announced today that the Xbox 360 edition of the add-on pack is now available. BioWare expects to roll out the PC installment later today, with the PlayStation 3 version due “soon”–possibly as part of tomorrow’s PlayStation Network update. The expansion pack runs for $5 (MSP 400).

Dragon Age: Origins Expansion Pack Announced!

Designed and written by the same team that brought you Dragon Age: Origins, the Awakening expansion pack offers a brand new area of the world to explore known as Amaranthine, featuring an epic story that will allow players to unravel the secrets of the darkspawn – and their true motivations! Players will face a range of horrific and terrifying creatures including an evolved, intelligent breed of darkspawn and other menacing creatures such as the Inferno Golem and Spectral Dragon.

Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening provides exciting new ways for players to customize their heroes and party, including the ability to re-spec their character attributes, allowing even greater customization and replayability. Featuring an increased level cap, new spells, abilities, specializations and items, plus five all-new party members, players can continue their adventures from Dragon Age, or begin with a brand new party.

Dragon Age™: Origins – Awakening

From the Makers of the Best RPG of 2009, Dragon Age: Origins, comes the first official expansion pack.

For centuries, the Grey Wardens—the ancient order of guardians, sworn to unite and defend the lands—have been battling the darkspawn forces. Legend spoke that slaying the Archdemon would have put an end to the darkspawn threat for centuries to come, but somehow they remain.

You are the Grey Warden Commander and have been entrusted with the duty of rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens and uncovering the secrets of the darkspawn and how they managed to remain.

How you choose to rebuild your order, how you resolve the conflict with “The Architect”, and how you determine the fate of the darkspawn will be but some of the many complex choices that await and shape your journey as you venture to the new land of Amaranthine.

Rumor Confirmed – Expansion Out in March!

TrinityDivine — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:42:36 +0000

Bioware today confirmed the rumors that were circulating yesterday about an expansion. Called Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening , it takes place in Amaranthine and features new enemies, new abilities and spells, specializations and items. The player can either carry over an old character or create a new one – a Grey Warden from Orlais. There will also be five new companions to recruit, but it’s unclear whether the original companions will still be available. The expansion also features an arch enemy in the person of the Architect, a character introduced in “The Calling”, a book written by David Gaider set about 20 years before the game.
