Dragon Age: Origins is BioWare's return to its roots – a dark heroic fantasy game (really a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate) that combines original storytelling techniques with classic roleplaying. Origins is, you guess it, focused heavily on the player-character's origins where play through your character’s early days, defining his or her background and motivation and begin to learn more about the world of Ferelden from your own distinct perspective. Your origins and choices you make defines how you will view the world and how it views you. Choose your personality traits, from a jealous commoner to a noble lord. Replaying the game is different each time, as your choices change your story becomes even more unique. Dragon Age Origins: Awakening expands heavily on Origins, and introduces and entirely new campaign in the aftermath. The gameplay and choices develop even further with new class specializations and skills while raising the level cap and introducing new enemies. You have the ability to either import your character from Origins, or simply start anew as a Warden from the new region of Orlais. How you choose to rebuild your order, how you resolve the conflict with "The Architect", and how you determine the fate of the darkspawn are just a few of the many complex choices that await and shape your journey as you venture to the new land of Amaranthine.
