I finished another chapter in the Dragon Age saga. Awakening was an expansion pack that followed Dragon Age: Origins. Because my character died in Origins, I created a new one. Had my character survived, I would have imported him to continue his adventures. I played a mage previously so I decided to play a rogue this time. Gerod first specialized as a ranger. I focused on that aspect rather than the thieving arts. Thankfully, new characters start at level 18.

The story picked up months after Origins. Once again, you play a Grey Warden. This time, however, the protagonist was from Orlais, the largest and most powerful nation in the land. Civilization still faced the threat of darkspawn. Unfortunately, some darkspawn were showing signs of intelligence. No longer brutes, some were observed speaking in common language. An assortment of companions were encountered, both new and familiar. Awakening had many quests to complete along the way. It provided me a decent 20 hours of gameplay, which is decent for an expansion. By the time I finished, Gerod had achieved level 30.
