Quantcast



We're doubtful that mage and new party member, Anders, will fill that massive void in your chest that Shale leaves by not being available in Dragon Age: Origins expansion "Awakening," but Anders might just make you laugh a time or two.

Officially introduced this afternoon, Anders is something of a reverse Alaistar in terms of role. Anders is a mage who doesn't like the Chantry and apparently has issues with the templars from time to time because of it. But don't think he's sour on the inside -- the trailer above seems to indicate otherwise.

Dragon Age: Origins -- "Awakening" is slated to hit March 16 for the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3.

I don't have my copy of DA anymore, but I'm looking forward to playing a Game of the Year edition eventually.

Meh why does it cost so much money to play a whole game? I'll buy this when I find it for 20 bucks, sorry BioWare. I just really wish you gave me Mass Effect 2. I'm not bitter though. Someday maybe.

So Anders is basically a character who might as well have been created by merging the personalities of Shale and Morrigan?

Sorry, wasn't paying attention if it's already there, but what kind of mage will Anders be?

Really? The same day as GOW3? Decisions, decisions.
I thought that we have this problem at the end of the year, not the begining.

@BoBoTheChimp757 You're thinking of Jowan, the wimpy bloodmage.

Nice to see a HUMAN MALE NPC spell-bomber, at long last.

I thought Morrigan was the anti-Alistar? This guy just look like hes a replacement for the people who want a healer but dont like Wynn.
