Assuming you thought Dragon Age was a good bargain...

How does the expansion compare?

Assuming you thought Dragon Age was a good bargain...

Why would you?

In any case, I couldn't stand Awakening for more than fifteen minutes. Dull shit-brown banal that makes NWN2 look, feel, and play good.

WTF? Why would anybody touch expansion to game that he hates? Hell, I thought DA was rather ok for rtwp and I didn't even consider playing any dlc. You people are strange.

Fallout 3 is a better game. Go play Fallout 3 DLCs.

 

[Dragula]

It's shit. I liked DA:O, but the expansion is shit.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

It was pretty short and nothing new, just a couple more classes and abilities that weren't too amazing. The plot wasn't terribly interesting either. Can't really recommend it.

I played and finished DA:A but can't remember any specifics about the plot or quests. Consider that I'm neither amnesiac nor a sclerotic and draw your own conclusions.

Just imagine they're looking at the people on the sides with a smug look of superiority

Because two previous similiar games (NWN 1-2) had expansions that were much better than the original game?

Well.... they still haven't patched up the game since release, which includes hundreds of bugs and the engine as of patch 1.03 is as stable as a upside down pyramid.

I'm yet to find the courage to continue though, because not only there are several plot holes in comparison to my original playthrough in DA:O but Bioware managed to remove some of your equipment from the original game. Yes, they've made an expansion that doesn't accept dlc items, kinda shows you how good this re-re-re-re-re-modified engine is.

Hardly. NWN were platforms with games (sucking) attached. NWN's expansions could/should be considered entirely new games. While DA had structure closer to BG games. Every expansion is bound to be continuous addition to already existing game.

I torrented Dargon Age and still didn't think it was a good bargain. Just about everything about it was contrived and trite. Would not play again.

 

[Sceptic]

Started it up yesterday as I was bored and had nothing to do, and thought I'd try Darkspawn Chronicles. That didn't work (needs authorization) but Ostagar did so I played that one instead. I thought I'd pass an hour, but the DLC didn't even last that long. WTF?
