Do you know how it works with the DLC? I mean, can you still play the original game or are you stuck having to play Awakening, as it isn't a simple case of switching discs. If you don't know that's ok.Russ Pitts said:I'll try the Awakening disc on my second Xbox later one to see what happens, but it was "aware" of my Dragon Age save games, so I'm assuming you have to have created a DA profile on your console before the Awakening disc will work.Virgil said:One thing I'm curious about - does the disc version function entirely as a standalone game as well? I can't recall seeing a purely disc-based console expansion before.
Functionally it plays as a standalone game, though. You ahve to insert the DA disc to go back and play DA content.
Considering the lenght of the game (well, depending on playstyle) you get atleast 4 times the value of the money if you compare it to any other game release - and this is only an expansion!Kmadden2004 said:I'd really love to play this game, but I just can't justify spending £32 on it. Perhaps if it goes down in price, I'll download it.
Damn you BioWare for releasing the PS3 version only as dlc in the UK, and damn you SCEE for forcing them to make the choice!
I'm sure that's the case, just as I'm sure I will buy this game at some point in the future. I just think it's a tad annoying that XBox and PC gamers can pick the expansion up for £20 from a high street store, while we UK PS3 owners are forced to fork out the full price for a download with no incentives beyond "You've got no choice".KillerRabbit said:Considering the lenght of the game (well, depending on playstyle) you get atleast 4 times the value of the money if you compare it to any other game release - and this is only an expansion!Kmadden2004 said:I'd really love to play this game, but I just can't justify spending £32 on it.

Well, I just started Awakenings and carried my female Human PC over from DA:O, and became Queen Consort to Alistair. He appears in the beginning to see how you fared on your journey to the new Warden base. You have the option of seeing if he will join you, as he, too, is a Grey Warden, as well as King of Ferelden, and he says that he has to go back to Denerim to take care of matters there, but "my beautiful wife" you are capable and I must say a quick good-bye before I change my mind. Gives you a wonderfully sweet kiss on cheek, and departs quickly to return to Denerim.kawaiiamethist said:How does this game play out if you become Alistair's queen?
