RPG 07 September 2010

The last of many DLC add-ons for Dragon Age: Origins, the game created by BioWare studio – developers of the base title. Expansion refers to one of the base game campaign's story arcs, allowing us to once again meet the dark and mysterious Morrigan. During a completely new adventure we find out what happened with the witch after the end of the main plot of Dragon Age. Although she vanished without a trace for a whole year, there are rumors about her returning to Ferelden, and our task is to find out what exactly Morrigan wants. Besides new quests, the DLC features two new team members: mage Finn and elven warrior Ariane. Traditionally, as a reward for completing the expansion we can get previously unavailable unique items that we can use in other adventures (including those in other DLCs).

Another expansion pack for Dragon Age: Origins - a game developed by the Canada-based studio BioWare. The plot focuses on a dwarven expedition sent to the caves in Orzammar in order to discover the secrets behind the structures built by golems. However, the entire group goes missing and the player character gets hired by Jerrik Dace - the brother of a dwarf who led the expedition. The player's task is to find out what happened to the group of dwarves and rescue them if possible. The expansion focuses mainly on combat, for the player faces powerful enemies, such as the titular golems. It is worth noticing that the expansion stands out with its very high level of difficulty, aiming to spark the interest of the franchise's most experienced fans. However, the player is rewarded with numerous parts of equipment and a shining, magical ball allowing them to open some doors and crates containing treasures.

RPG 16 March 2010

An official expansion for the bestselling RPG game Dragon Age: Origins created by BioWare. The story of the expansion starts a few months after the events that occurred in the basic game. The protagonist is tasked with rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens which was decimated during the great Battle of Ostagar. What makes the quest harder is the fact that, despite the defeat of the powerful archdemon, the dark forces did not return underground and remain a threat for the whole Ferelden. In Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening the player can visit a previously unavailable realm called Amaranthine, encounter never before seen beasts and obtain new specializations, talents, skills and spells. Five new characters and the dwarf Oghren known from the basic game can join the player’s party. One can play the expansion by importing his character from the basic game or by creating a completely new one which will automatically gain the required experience level.

The third large DLC expansion for 2009's Dragon Age: Origins. Delivering about 60-90 minutes of gameplay, Return to Ostagar takes the player back to the keep that first appeared in the core game. One day, a great battle between humans and the Darkspawn took place in the area. This new adventure begins when the protagonist learns about the existence of a person who survived the said battle and seeks help from the Grey Wardens. Above all, the player kills subsequent monsters that have occupied the keep and the battlefield surrounding its walls. Apart from the locations included in the base game, the player visits several new, snow-covered areas. Interestingly, the player is given the second chance to recruit a Mabari war hound, which can be useful if they had missed that opportunity in the early phase of playing the core game.
