    • Trivia
      In the back of the Blackmarsh, on a raised trail behind a tear in the Fade, there is a trio of desire demons performing some sort of ritual over a bubbling cauldron. This is a reference to Shakespeare's MacBeth and the scene with the three witches.

      Anders: You don't actually think your jokes are funny, do you?

      Oghren: Coulda sworn that fly was buzzin' again.

      Anders: [starts imitating Oghren] Har! Let me tell you about my life in one word!

      [belch]

      Oghren: [starts imitating Anders] Oh, no, don't take me back to the Tower! I'm far, far too delicate! Heh.

      Anders: I'm not only a dwarf, I'm a moron! Listen to me fart!

      Oghren: Oh, no, big templar man, what are you going to do with that sword? Ha-ha-ha-ha!

      Anders: Ew.

      Oghren: Don't play with fire unless you wanna get burned, son.

    A step down from Origins

    The most impressive aspect of Origin's Awakening DLC is its length. Whilst I would agree with general consensus of this being one of the best game DLCs, and how a DLC is done correctly, Awakening itself fails to match up to Origins in terms of quality.

    From a interesting, though largely forgettable narrative, to hardly memorable locations, Awakening just feels like a rushed version of Origins without its deeper nuances, impactful decision-making or immersive subplots. I would give the DLC's narrative more props, but the story elements introduced here are largely ignored by the following games, in fact, most of what occurs in Awakening is almost treated like it's not canonical, making the experience less enjoyable the second time around.

    Though where the story does shine is its introduction of new interesting and enjoyable characters, lore and world-building, though none feel like they live up to the experience in Origins.
