"If it isn't the recruit with the great rack" - Oghren

Just started Awakening, aside from sound bugs, looks good!

The ending of Origins was trully epic.

Hopefully you can trigger Velanna & Sigrun Personal Quest. Their are some gamebreak bugs in Awakening. Due to MS policy of Title Update FileSize, it was never patched in PS3 or 360 version.

Also hope your removed Warden's Keep before Starting Awakening, if not you will run into texture glitches. Sentential Armor will look like Commander Armor instead.

No I haven't, I remember you mentionned it earlier, though I have no idea how to do that.

As for the sound bug, it seems like the spells and abilities sounds are in and out, is that normal? Should I simply reload the game?

I Didn't encounter any Sound bugs in my 360 or PC playthroughs. I know theirs a sound issue during the landsmeet in Origins.

After you complete the First Sequence. Talk three main people. Go outside & head into the Dungeon. Talk to the Prisoner & put him though the joining. Which will allow you to talk to the mistress again & will active the Trade Must Flow SideQuest.

Ignore all the other quest within the Keep for now.

You will have full access to the world Map head into the City. DO NOT talk to the City Guard (Law & Order Side Quest). Talk to the Hunters right before the entrance to the City & Marv to the left(where all the shops are). These will update the logs for Wending Woods & Chasm.

Head into the Wending woods first. Do not loot anything in this area. You will than meet Velanna, Head to the camp for a Quick CutScene & head to the Quest marker(again DO NOT LOOT anything). The Velanna will join your Party. Head directly into the Mine. Complete the Mine & recruit Armas(before exiting, you can not return once you leave) for the Trade Must Flow Side Quest. When you exit the mine world Map will pop-up. Head Directly to the City. Once City is Loaded exit back to the World Map & head to the Keep. While Traveling from City to the Keep an Random Encounter will happen and will start Velanna Personal Quest.

Next head the chasm. Complete the Quest & recruit Sigrun into your Party. Head back into the city turn right after gate entrance & a Random Encounter will happen. This will start Sigrun Personal Quest.

Now you can head back to the keep and put both your new recruits though the joining. You can now complete the game however you like now.

Also always do the blackmarsh last.

WARNING DO NOT Activate any other Side Quests before completing Wending Woods(Velanna Recruitment Quest) & Chasm (Sigrun Recruitment Quest).

The only sound bugs I experienced in all of my playing on the PS3 were during conversations. At certain points the character who is speakings lips would be moving, but no sound was coming up. Simply advancing the conversation using the square button got rid of this when it did happen.

Phew, doing all that took longer then I expected, Revan!

Did everything you mentionned. Is it only me or this is dead easy? It seems like I tear everything up without much effort (same mode as origins, normal). I dont even have a tank or a 100% healer yet and did everything without a problem whatsoever.

Sound is fine now, it seemed like it was only for the first half hour or so.

Awakening isn't really that Long. I can beat it in evening(100% all Side Quests & Main Quests). I also know where everything is, All the correct Dialogue choices to gain the max friendship & how to complete ever Quest.

I will say this be careful who you bring at the end.

If you want the best outcome:

I played Awakening on Nightmare and it was still too easy. The funny thing was, I had forgotten I changed it to nightmare. I changed it to Nightmare to fight the final boss in Witch Hunt for the trophy and never changed it back when I started Awakening and ended up playing all 16 hours of it on Nightmare.
