It might be kinda strange but while I've beaten DAO 5 or 6 times, this is my 1st time completing Awakening.
Now that I've finally finished it, I liked it quite a bit. The story being about sentient Darkspawn appearing felt a bit like a shark jump at first but now that I've seen it through, it won me over. If I had a major complaint when comparing it to the main game is it feels a bit too much like an inbetween of a sequel and a dlc in terms of how it's paced. I think I'd have preferred this to be a full blown sequel. I can also mention that while the higher level cap and new skills were cool, it doesn't really feel like the game was balanced around them.
