Dragon Age: OrANGE YOU GOING TO AWAKEN?

[DFM]

:AWAKENING



THE ARCH DEMON HAS BEEN DEFEATED, HIS SOUL EITHER DESTROYED OR TRANSFERED INTO AN EVIL GOD BABY.

BUT WHAT'S THIS, WARDEN?

THE DARKSPAWN ARE NOT RETREATING UNDERGROUND! THEY CONTINUE TO RAVAGE THE COUNTRYSIDE, EVEN MORE ORGANIZED THAN BEFORE!

YOU MUST GET TO VIGIL'S KEEP TO RALLY THE WARDENS AGAINST THIS THREAT!



IT SAYS SO IN THE LOADING SCREEN!


UNFORTUNATELY, THE GREY WARDEN COMMANDER IS FORBIDDEN BY CHANTRY LAW FROM EVER WEARING THE GREY WARDEN COMMANDER ARMOR, AND YOU WERE FORCED TO RELINQUISH IT UPON ACCEPTING YOUR TITLE OF GREY WARDEN COMMANDER.



WE DIDN'T GIVE YOU ANY NEW CLOTHES OR ANYTHING, I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU WOULD HAVE SOLD ALL YOUR EXCESS GEAR AT THE END GAME FOR POTION AND RUNE MONEY ANYWAY, RIGHT?



YOU PRETTY MUCH SPENT THE LAST SIX MONTHS NAKED. A NAKED QUEEN. YOU ARE LADY GODIVA.

NOBODY EVEN CARES ANYMORE.



Also your boss Star-Spawned-God-Killer sword was illegalized along with your armor, lucky you kept that shitty sword and shield you got at the very beginning of the game for role playing purposes. Too bad you aren't even trained as a sword and board fighter! I bet you're sorry you called that "Shield Bash" skill we gave you in the beginning a wasted point, huh?

HUH?


Oh whoop Vigil's Keep is under attack!



What are you waiting for? HUH?



There we go, you don't need shit! You could tear these guys apart with your BARE MAKER DAMN HANDS.



This is everyone's reaction to seeing the errant indestructible goddess queen.



NOW THAT FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE OVER WITH

I've barely started playing the expansion, so I can't offer much more than that in terms of input/discussion, but this is the AWAKENING thread for AWAKENING discussions about things that happen in the DRAGON AGE: ORIGIN expansion AWAKENING.

A few pretty spoiler free pro-tips for new starters:

1. You cannot have Oghren in your party without making him a Grey Warden, you can't be like "Hey Oghren I'd love to have you around we can rampage around drinking and spitting and smashing living body parts with dead body parts until there ain't no difference but man being a Grey Warden sucks ass you're just going to have to trust me on this, we'll be much better off if you don't go drinkin' no taint."

You just gotta be like "Oghren get outta here."

2. If you're importing a character, remember Starfang and the Warden Commander's armor are like, barred from entry into the expansion so like post coronation or something you may wanna ditch them and don some of your second best shit. Not that it matters anyway because
