Product Description
Dragon Age Awakenings PC
Amazon.com Product Description
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening for PC is the first expansion to the award-winning single player RPG, Dragon Age: Origins. Developed by role-playing game (RPG) specialists, BioWare, Awakenings is a standalone expansion, meaning that ownership of the original game is not necessary, although players of the original game are afforded the choice of utilizing their character from the original game or starting with a fresh character. Additional features include an expanded storyline, new creatures, locations and more. Story
For centuries, the Grey Wardens — the ancient order of guardians sworn to unite and defend the lands — have battled the darkspawn forces. Legend says that slaying the Archdemon would have put an end to the darkspawn threat for centuries to come, but for all the Grey Wardens' vigilance, somehow the creatures remain. But there is a new spark of hope. 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. 
Powerful new new characters to utilize.

As with the original Dragon Age: Origins game, the Awakening expansion is a single player RPG in which the path of a player's created hero is determined through a combination of ongoing actions throughout the game and the character's particular backstory, known as an Origin Story. Origin Stories relate primarily to the combination of the chosen race of the character and that individual's socioeconomic status. For example, a player who favors a Dwarfish character may have a variety of options, including the choice of being a commoner or a noble. As the character progresses through the game he will interact with any number of non-player characters (NPCs) who may have a particular opinion of Dwarves which may or may not be altered by the fact that the character is of noble or commoner status. These built-in impressions, blended in real-time with the character's interactions and choices alter the hero's personal path and eventually the outcome of the events of the game. Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening is a standalone expansion, meaning that ownership of the original Dragon Age: Origins game is not necessary for play. That said, players of the previous game are afforded the added benefit of importing their character from the original game to continue that adventure, or beginning anew with a new character and Origin Story. Key Game Features - A Stunning World Expanded - BioWare’s deepest universe to date just got bigger with an all new area of the world to explore, Amaranthine.
- Unlock the secrets of the Darkspawn and their true motivations.
- Rebuild the Grey Warden order and establish their base of operations at Vigil’s Keep.
- All-new Complex Moral Choices - Embark on an epic story that is completely defined and reactive to your play style, allowing players to create an entire experience based on both overall choices made and how complex situations are handled.
- The Varying Influence of "Origin Story" - Begin your character's adventure with a specific socioeconomic Origin Story that will affect attitudes and exchanges with NPCs, creating the possibility of a wide variety of game endings and thus add to the game's replay value.
- New Ways to Customize Your Hero - Experience additional spells, abilities, specializations, and items to further personalize and customize your hero and party.
- Import your character from Dragon Age: Origins or start anew as a Grey Warden from the neighboring land of Orlais.
- Encounter five all-new party members and an old favorite from Dragon Age: Origins.
- Even more Bone-crushing, Visceral Combat - Test your skills against an evolved, intelligent breed of Darkspawn and other menacing creatures including the Inferno Golem, 'Queen of the Blackmarsh' - deadly Spectral Dragon and The Children, a hideous and huge arachnid like scourge.

 Dragon Age Expansion July 25, 2010

I love the game. The expansion was a bit too short to be classified as an expansion, in my opinion. Should have been sold as downloadable content. Enjoyable none the less.
Bioware - WHAT HAPPEN? Origins was Awesome - Awakening SUCKS! July 23, 2010

Bioware -you really need to start reading reviews of Awakening and take into consideration what you are doing to Dragon Age 2- After Awakening - I afraid that you have lost the edge - the non-linear direction - the humor (real humor)- Character development - ROMANCE!, FRIENDSHIPS -UHG! I bought Dragon Age - ORIGINS for both the Xbox 360 and PC. Awakening I did the same - but took back the Xbox because I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed with the PC version!
1. carry the game on properly. If your ruling with King - then King should be available to you - we missed him so much in Awakening - very disappointed.
2. Let us choice the champion. I would not have chosen Olgren!
3. Romance is fun and exciting in Origins - I would have like it in this play through because not all had romances with 'Allistair'
I do hope that proper consideration is taken in Dragon Age 2 - Being able to choose human, elves, dwarfs - the ability to make your character look the way we wanted. Being able to build friendships, learn about individual party's pasts etc - It looks and appears Bioware is getting lazy -trying to go the way of Mass Effect - in Dragon Age 2 - (from what I've read) If I want to play Mass Effect -I will - I WANT TO PLAY DRAGON AGE - SIMILAR to ORIGINS - and Nothing like Awakening!

Just received this expansion it turns out that dragon age origins needs to be installed for Awakenings to be installed on your pc. This is despite this claim in the product description: "Awakenings is a standalone expansion, meaning that ownership of the original game is not necessary." I played Origins on the PS3 so i have no Origins install on my comp... Sorely disappointed. Ill edit this review when I am able to play the game.
Bug-ridden garbage July 7, 2010

Go look at the online gaming forums and you will see report after report of game-breaking BUGS. These are not the kind of bugs that show up in the field, such as compatibility issues. They are easily repeatable and Bioware was fully aware of the bugs when they released this. If they patch it, perhaps it will be worth your money. But don't pay them to be a beta tester. Selling crud like this is piracy.
