Dragon Age: Origins exp-pak offentliggjort

   Dragon Ages: Origins: 
Indtryk efter 20 timer:
Genialt, mange forskellige valg - med konsekvenser - vælger du at redde x eller y? Et langt spil - 20 timer = 16% gennemførelse, 22% af verden udforsket. Masser af dialoger og løsestof for dem der er interesserede. 

Spillet starter ud med at du vælger om du skal være mand/kvinde, dværg, elv eller mennekse. Efter det vælger du din hvad du er (mage, warrior eller rouge) også vælger du til sidst hvordan du skal starte - dvs. om du skal være en "city elf" eller skov elv, et nobelt menneske eller en af lavere rang og andre. Der er i det hele 6 forskellige måder at starte spillet på, som alle tager ca. 2 timer at gennemføre og har giver en forskellig indgangsvinkel til spillet. 

Derefter starter du ud med at skulle blive en Grey Warden (en form for beskytter mod det onde - Darkspawns). Og efterfølgende bliver man så mere selvstændig. 

Du bestemmer selv hvordan du vil håndtere din "main quest", altså i hvilken rækkefølge og hvilke valg du tager. Lad mig give et eksempel uden at ødelægge for meget men læs videre hvis du ikke vil have noget spoleret overhovedet!: 

På et tidspunkt kan du vælge at redde nogle magikere eller blive "venner" med en anden gruppe kaldet templar og miste magikerne. Problemet er dog at hvis du ikke redder disse magikere kan du ikke hjælpe en demonisk besat knægt, men omvendt vil templarene ikke hjælpe dig. Så valgene er jo helt op til dig selv.

Det er rart at dine valg har en konsekvens af en eller anden art, på trods af at disse til tider kan være svære at gennemskue. 

Alt i alt et rigtig godt spil, men det er ikke uden lidt dårlig kritik: grafikken er ikke vanvittig flot, men udemærket, nogen gange kan du ikke undgå at miste liv, f.eks. en darkspawn skal til at slå dig, men du når at flytte dig væk, alligevel mister du liv. Det samme gælder også hvis en Golem kaster en sten efter dig, og du går bag om en mur, så kan du stadigvæk miste liv. Lidt latterligt. Ansigtudtrykkene er heller ikke fantastiske. Der kan også, for nogle mennesker, være for meget dialog, men dette bestemmer man jo helt selv. 

Indtil videre har det underholdt mig meget, så står du på nippet eller mangler et godt RPG så bare ta' og køb det.

*for dem af jer der er for dovne, er der et resume forneden*

January 5, 2010 - Today, BioWare and Electronic Arts put rumors to rest and announced Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, the first official expansion pack which is slated to be released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 16, 2010. The expansion will require Dragon Age: Origins and will cost $39.99. 

Set after the events of Dragon Age: Origins in the land of Amaranthine, players will take on the role of a Grey Warden trying to rebuild the order of legendary warriors. Along with this monumental task, players will have to discover new secrets of the Darkspawn menace as well as face off against deadly new threats such as the Inferno Golem, Spectral Dragon and a mysterious foe that calls itself the "Architect." Fortunately, Awakening raises the level cap of the game, and provides new abilities, spells, specializations and items for players to acquire. 

Players will also have the option to import and revise their characters from Dragon Age: Origins, expanding on the customization of their heroes. Players can also choose to create a brand new Grey Warden from the land of Orlais. Five new party members will also be available for players to recruit and add to their band of adventurers. 

According to BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka, "Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening shows BioWare's commitment to our fans by delivering new story-driven experiences which enrich the dark heroic fantasy universe our fans have come to know and love. The vibrant worldwide community of Dragon Age fans will relish uncovering the secret motivations of the darkspawn, revealing how the darkspawn continue to infest the world despite the defeat of the Archdemon."

For dem der ikke gider at læse:

3 nye (store) bosser: Inferno Golem, Spectral Dragon og "the Architect" - det er muligt at der er andre, mindre bosser.
Nye historie i et nyt land: Amaranthine, ca. 15 timers spil (plus en forhåbentlig ligeså høj "replay-value" som det original".)
Ny origin historie: En Grey Warden Fra Orlais
Nye items, spells, specializations, abilities
Højere level 
Pris: $40 (ca. 200kr)
Udgivelsesdato: 16 Marts (forvent forsinkelse!)

Ser nice ud. Jeg forventer at gennemføre spillet 3 gange (rogue, warrior og mage), for at starte på en ny, med den nye fra Orlais.

Dragon Age™: Origins – Awakening

Der er tale om en klogere underklasse samt klogere drager (fra gamespot), så det ser mere og mere spændende ud. Desuden er jeg næsten sikker på at der er tale om en disk-baseret exp, ligesom til Fallout 3, så ligger den ikke på "must-have"-listen, kan man sikkert købe den billigere senere.

From the Makers of the Best RPG of 2009, Dragon Age: Origins, comes the first official expansion pack.
For centuries, the Grey Wardens—the ancient order of guardians, sworn to unite and defend the lands—have been battling the darkspawn forces. Legend spoke that slaying the Archdemon would have put an end to the darkspawn threat for centuries to come, but somehow they remain.
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.

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

Shape your entire experience based on the choices you make and how your handle complex situations
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: Battle against a new range of horrific and terrifying creatures

Put your skills to the test against an evolved, intelligent breed of Darkspawn and other menacing creatures including the Inferno Golem and Spectral Dragon!

Fra Gamespot, knap så spændende: 

Just over four months after Dragon Age's debut, the game will also be getting its first full-fledged expansion, Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening. Available on March 16 worldwide for the PC, 360, and PS3, the major add-on will feature an all-new storyline that focuses on the rebuilding of the Grey Wardens after the bloody events of the original game's campaign. It will allow players to import their Dragon Age characters or start over as an all-new new Grey Warden from the empire of Orlais. It will also delve deeper into the backstory of the Darkspawn and their ongoing objectives. 

In addition to a new storyline, Awakening will raise the level cap for Dragon Age: Origins. It will also add new foes, with BioWare mentioning such creatures as the Inferno Golem, Spectral Dragon, and a hyperintelligent sub-race of Darkspawn. It will be set in the all-new realm of Amaranthine and will also add new spells, abilities, and five all-new party members, which players can enlist. 
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening will cost $40 in the US and require the original Dragon Age to play. (No UK or EU price was given.) It is rated M for Mature by the Entertainment Software Rating Board in North America and 18+ by PEGI in Europe. The expansion’s official Web site has more details on the game.
