Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening Website Launched, New Content

BioWare has launched a new website dedicated to their upcoming Awakening expansion pack for Dragon Age: Origins, complete with an updated 17-question FAQ, a new Penny Arcade comic, and all of the previous assets they’ve released up to this point. From the FAQ:

1.9 Which Dragon Age: Origins NPC will be returning?

Besides Oghren who plays a large role in Awakening, there are cameos and returning characters. For companions you’ll potentially meet Loghain, Wynne, and Alistair depending on your decisions in Origins. In regards to NPCs, Master Wade and Herren reprise their roles, with Wade offering to make even more fantastical goods if the player brings his list of ingredients. Loghain’s daughter, Anora, may also appear in Awakening depending on your choices in Origins. From David Gaider’s novel “The Calling” – both the Architect and Utha are present in Awakening.

2.3 If my PC died at the end of Dragon Age: Origins how are they alive in Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening?

If a player wants to, they can import their “Dead Warden” into Awakening and play as them. For the story it’s assumed that they didn’t make the ultimate sacrifice, instead somehow survived. A player would start as the same level with the same gear as their “Dead Warden”. Essentially, if a player doesn’t have a problem hand-waiving the story in this regard – neither do we.
