Because you didn't ilke it doesn't mean many others did and you definitely aren't a special case where because you didn't like it means the reviewers must have been paid off. I suppose this is the same for every game you dislike that gets good reviews!!!
TBH i really enjoyed it and for £6 you can't go wrong really.
Well for starters a lot of reviews are paid for. Secondly personally I feel that the reviews missed out loads of the games problems.
1) I never even got close to needing a tank spec. There is no challenge in awakening because all your characters are grossly over powered vs your enemies.
2) If you carried your character over you had a ludercrous amount of money and nothing to spend it on.
3) There is only 1 half hearted city, there isn't really much to it tbh. 3 or 4 of the places on the map have no value at all other than to turn up and kill random mobs.
4) If you play a women everyone calls you sir, how half hearted is that?
5) It is exceedingly short and as a result of having no difficulty to it means you can rush it through even quicker. (I play on hard purely because nightmare just means you have to stand there whacking things for longer.)
6) There aren't any meaty quests like before.
Not to mention the fact that the game carries over literally none of your consequences, which is also extremely half hearted and a real dissapointment as they amped up the original so well and felt like your decisions mattered and it turns out that nope they didn't mean anything and all the original characters but 1 annoying one dissapear off the face of the earth. Alister could at least of had some role other than a single conversation. Morigan certainly should have made a come back also. Literally it's just a money grab.
Shall I continue?
You are missing the fact that the reviews reviewed this when it was £15. That is not just a little bit of DLC. That should be a full expansion and it truely isn't.
I think origins is a great game, I love dragonage. But awakening is just boring tbh.
