Dragon Age: Origins-Awakening, More Screenshots!

Something tells me this is a bad guy.

Yes, I am aware that Karli has already talked about Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, the expansion pack to  Dragon Age: Origins, in his always reliable and entertaining Coming Soon! article. I know it is available now at retailers and via download on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network. But as the rest of the RRB staff knows by now I’m a Dragon Age super-nerd and I just had to post these screenshots.

“Dragon Age: Origins introduced us to a robust, mysterious, and tumultuous fantasy world,” said Aaryn Flynn, Studio General Manager of BioWare in Edmonton. “Dragon Age: Origins — Awakening brings players deeper into the folds to face even more complex moral decisions as the leader of the Grey Wardens and the results of those responsibilities and actions.”

Awakening takes place right after the defeat of the Archdemon, and players will assume the role of a Grey Warden Commander entrusted with rebuilding the order. The darkspawn continue to survive and the player must make difficult moral choices with regards to rebuilding the Grey Warden order, how to contend with the mysterious “Architect”, and how to truly eradicate the darkspawn. Players will be able to import their saved character from Origins or start off as a new character from neighboring Orlais. Judging by the accent, Orlais is the equivalent of France of the game’s world. Told you I’m a nerd.

The expansion pack introduces a new part of the world known as Amaranthine. There they will face a new breed of intelligent darkspawn, and face some never before seen enemies like inferno golems and a spectral dragon. But you all probably know that already. Just take a gander at these screenshots:

Something tells me it’s immune to electric attacks.
