Dragonage + Addons

I just bought myself Dragonage: origins and I've noticed there's a lot of expansions. If I buy them do they just integrate into the main story like Fallout 3's expansions? Or is it a case of having to select awakening, etc at the title screen.

With it being my first run through, I thought I'd get all the expansions and make the world as vast as possible, Rather than running through it Vanilla. But it would be pointless to do so if its not integrated and means selecting an expansion at the start

Thanks

I have to say....Its a good game, but the combat.... There's So much choice during battle, so many characters to control and a tactics sub screen on top. I can imagine it's not so bad once you've played a while, But right off the bat.... Its complicated. And I've played Mass effect through loads so i expected to be fine playing this. But for some reason I'm finding it somewhat daunting = \

haha, I love Dual Wielding in any game its available. It is what I am at the moment, Elf warrior with Dual wield. Currently a Borrowed longsword and an enchanted dagger

Also, the combat system is getting a little bit better as I go along. I havent really gone in depth with the tactics page yet, I have just used the presets.

I've just fought the giant ogre in the tower and watched the epic battle scene. This game does seem pretty awesome so far.

I wish I had

I got it off games on demand on a whim lol.

Okay. I've put skyrim on the backburner for now(very difficult to do). I really want to play it, but I cant have two massive RPGs like this on the go at once. So I'm going to finish Dragonage origins first.

Now I have a problem, Sten keeps dying on me!!! It's annoying, but I dont want to change, I like my party as it is. Morrigan, Sten and my Dog(who likes to wizz on everything to up some stats). I'm also a dual wielder.

Sten wears the heaviest armours, so i suppose he draws the most aggro. I've got him setup with <50 health use health poultice.

But still, He's always the one I end up having to finish the battle without, and then use an injury kit on. Surely a warrior like him, with a 2handed great sword, and massive armour should be upto the task of staying alive. -_-

I'm being stubborn and sticking with my current team =P I've sort of sorted him dying, He used potions on himself more often, and i have my morrigan as a healer now. Although she's custom so does damage dealing too.

I have to say, I'm in love with this game... Wish I'd bought it along time ago.

What I really like is that fact I get to go from one epic game to another. This till completion(including awakening) and then onto skyrim on PC!!
