Dragon Age Origins Awakening

[iPcc]

I just want to know whether this game really is that good. It beats Dawn of Discovery or Anno:1404 in review scores and I think Dawn of Discovery is one of the best games I've ever laid my hands on. Anyway, I remember I've tried their flash demo and I wasn't really impressed. I've seen some graphics of it and it resembles WoW graphics. Is the story that good? ^^

Finished awakening. Going to give it 85% reason is due to a few annoying bugs if they fix this it goes to 90%. If you liked the original game you will love this game but some of the things might be difficult to understand if you haven't read the calling.

I don't think any of these are spoilers:





1.Memory band disappears when captured by the architect, all other equipment is reclaimed but that ring.
2.Correct ending slide for those of us who romanced morrigan correctly does not play at the end.
3.Skills from wardens keep doesn't work, the blood skills appear in your skills list but they don't function.
4.If you don't do the main quests in a specific order you can't do the joining for velana and sigrun.
5.Velana sidequest doesn't always trigger, have to use the console for some of my playthroughs. No solution currently if you are playing on the console.
6.Very hard/nearly impossible to get oghren approval high enough for sidequest. Would be solved if there were more gifts in the game or if you import an origins character he retains some approval instead of starting at 0. I solved it with console commands since I didn't want to wait around for a fix to finish my final side quest.
7.Sigrun,velana and justice get to 100 approval first gift I give them. This is a major problem due to you not then getting the npc skills for advancing their relationship status.

Yah, I found Awakening to be great but not nearly as good as Origins.

Reasons: I didnt like how you could just buy new specs. Would have been nice to earn them.
Storyline was also a little bland
Not difficult enough
And I couldnt find most of the recipe ingredients to get Wade to make the special items

I would give it 80% (considering i gave origins 100%...i loved it)

Oh, also all the DLC items and warden armour arnt carried over! Which made me crazy because I basically played the first hour of the game naked! :-/
