It admirably accomplishes what an expansion is supposed to do, and doesn't in any way diminish what made the great one of the best RPGs ever made.

The attention to detail is impressive, even if we’re talking about the floating boats in the ethereal realm or just the white dragon bones. And BioWare sprinkled some new enemies into the expansion.

Perhaps most interestingly, the volume of choices you make leads to what might be an even more variable ending than the previous one. There are some incredibly tough choices to be made, some peculiar allegiances to form, and a region to save from the darkspawn. You're a Grey Warden, it's your duty.

A great expansion to an already great RPG that shines from a varied enviroment design, more options and challenges and excellent characters.

If you enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins, I strongly suggest you buy Awakening.

Awakening is a superb expansion to Bioware's role-playing epic and delivers 20+ hours of exciting adventures in Ferelden. The gameplay changes compared to the main game are minimal.

Bioware's latest RPG will hit still does not approach the complexity of the former Baldur's Gate. All RPG fans who already own the main game should still buy awakening.

Awakening is an awesome expansion to the roleplaying game of the year 2009. New monsters, new companions, new skills, a stunning atmosphere and a really cool story will chain you for a long time to your computer.

New enemies and ordeals, a bunch of killer abilities, fat loot and a couple of well-fed dragons – what else can a level 20 character wish for?

Though there's not nearly as much content as the first go-round, there's still an awful lot to love.
