How do you know when you have finished an origin story and started the main game?

After you first meet King Cailan and Duncan leaves you to explore the camp. You'll get the achievement then while standing on the bridge.

ok so one of my spells as a Mage is the abillity to raise a skeleton from a dead foe to fight along side you, everytime i try to use this spell it does not work, i wait for a few enemies to fall before i use it and my character goes through the animation when the spell is used and then nothing, no undead fighting beside me?? anyone else had this?

From the Makers of the Best RPG of 2009, Dragon Age: Origins, comes the first official expansion pack. For centuries, the Grey Wardens—the ancient order of guardians, sworn to unite and defend the lands—have been battling the darkspawn forces. Legend spoke that slaying the Archdemon would have put an end to the darkspawn threat for centuries to come, but somehow they remain. You are the Grey Warden Commander and have been entrusted with the duty of rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens and uncovering the secrets of the darkspawn and how they managed to remain. How you choose to rebuild your order, how you resolve the conflict with “The Architect”, and how you determine the fate of the darkspawn will be but some of the many complex choices that await and shape your journey as you venture to the new land of Amaranthine.

o Put your skills to the test against an evolved, intelligent breed of Darkspawn and other menacing creatures including the Inferno Golem and Spectral Dragon!

been playing the hell outta this recently. amazing game, with a great story. but why the hell does it look as bad as it does? mass effect, while having performance issues, still looked great once the textured had loaded, but my god dragon age looks terrible, it's like a high res xbox game.

also, 1200 points for that piss poor excuse for a quest with the golam...seriously, i got it free with the game and i felt ripped off. i'm scared to buy the other one (the guy at the camp keeps telling me about it) but if it's as short and pointless as that golam quest then i cant see how it can feel like decent value for money. anyone able to say how long it is?

KORNdog, on what did you play the game?

I got it for PC and it ran very well with no visual glitches, also with all settings maxed, this game looks good for the isometric view its intended for (ie Baldurs Gate style).

The expansion looks really good, I started fiddling with the tool kit, its so complex its scary, but at the same time im hoping ill be able to make something good later on.

Bioware has said that the recently delayed Return to Ostagar DLC is now live on Xbox 360 with a PC launch to follow. Still no word on a PS3 release though.
