Possible Dragon Age Expansion On The Way
By Lawrence Sonntag
The folks at Bioware have been cranking the ol’ content generator on their recently released Dragon Age: Origins since its release, offering not only two packs of DLC at launch but another coming very shortly. An early product listing may have revealed that even more expansion content is on the way.
However, this content won’t be a measly DLC add-on. Eurogamer.cz reports that an online retailer listed a product called Dragon Age: The Awakening, which follows the events of the original game. The content is said to include a new character / origin story and separate campaign. The new content will also raise the level cap, add new monsters and equipment, and take around 15 hours to complete. Seems small when compared to the original game (considering that one can easily break the 80 hour mark in a single play), but most full retail action titles clock in well under that.
Naturally, this story is entirely speculative, as the original story doesn’t report where the details associated with the expansion originate. What’s more, the original story is entirely in Czech, so we’re all at the mercy of Google Translate to get an account of the report. Either way, Bioware’s made it clear that they plan to support Dragon Age with content as long as players want to have it, so a full expansion wouldn’t be too out of order.

80 Hours? Is that a joke? I've explored done almost everything there is to do in that game and both play throughs have only taken me to 2X hours. This "15" hour expansion pack, then, is likely to take me 3.

2X hours? come on. Listening to the dialog alone will take you more than 2X hours…
It took me 57 hours, taking my time, doing everything.
