In other news, not involving violence, the expansion has been announced:

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.

So it springs from the plot of the second novel, 'The Calling'.

The Architect is the only intelligent darkspawn. Sort of an outcast. The novel also had some interesting secrets about Grey Wardens.

Thanks Unmei.

So guys who have a console version, do you consider this a great game? I actually bought it today for PS3 but now I'm thinking if I should bother. I actually have Demon's Souls too but its dreary and depressing mood was getting to me.

I watched Beowulf for the first time a few days ago which I thought was great and it has kinda prompted my interest into the fantasy genre again.

As much as i love Demon's Souls, there's really no comparison between the games. The mood of DA:O is dark fantasy, somewhat along the lines of Neverwinter Nights or Baulders Gate. It's very story driven, and also very strategic combat heavy. It's definitely a good game, and it'll last you a long while.
