Bitvyper's friend was.
Also, Awakenings is much darker than Origins. It's part of why I like it. There's no perfect sunny happy ending. The closest you can come is losing most of your troops at Vigil's Keep, but breaking the siege in a sort of pyrrhic victory. It's all quite awe inspiring and satisfying, but not 'happy'. Also, all characters can die in the epilogue if you do things poorly.
A lot of the side quests are a bit more dark too. It feels like proper dark fantasy.
It's not without its problems, of course. Not too fond of the new dialogue system. Old one had problems, too, but I don't like the lack of available dialogue. And there are a few bugs.
Like, save before entering the silverite mines. There's a rare bug tied to certain equipment that can cause you to permanently lose everything your main character has equipped.
All in all, though, I enjoyed it immensely.
