Origins was a full game while this is an expansion. I think for an expansion its pretty fair. 25 hours as most of the reviews have been mentioning is more than a lot of other full games currently on the market.Quote:

I believe its unrealistic to expect an expansion to match or even exceed a full game. That's basicly what some of the negative comments has been about. For me what an expansion needs to to do is add to the original and with the interesting story(the small bits that I have read) awakening seems to do that.Quote:

For those who don't know EA with their financial forecast gave away that a unspecified dao title will be launched in that time frame and the speculation is that its dao 2.
When is it releasing in SA?
Today. Got my copy this morning, finishing up ac 2 first though.Quote:

You can get the tool here:DAO updater diagnostics
Of course I wouldn't expect an expansion pack to give me an additional 285 hours. What I was actually getting at was that Origins was rated at 50 hours+- by most reviewers, I got lost in it for days on end, literally. So an expansion rated at 25 hours is probably going to give me quite a bit of extra play time.Quote:

My copy is supposed to be arriving this afternoon.
/holds thumbs.
I am 9 hours into the expansion and loving it so far, especially some of the humor.
Played yesterday. So far its great. I really like anders. One of the so called companion shouldn't be listed as a companion though, that npc last way too short to be classified as such.
Anyone know where the oil for the heart of forest quest is located?? Looked online but its not showing up on the kitchen table in the inn. Anyone knows if you need to wait or what??
