There is very little substance to this guide. As for the walkthrough itself, it is manageable though not as intuitive as the DA: Origins Prima Game Guide and the side quests seemed dumped at the back of the book. The first 1/3rd of the book is stuff a gamer should know if they played DA: Origins, which is 1/3 fluff for gamers who have played through the first. In that case, and here is a money making opportunity, Prima could have sold the game guide for "newbies" and sold a different book for those who don't need the "How to create character". Of course the second book with a veteran gaming audience in mind would sell for 1/3 less the cost.

The Game guide by Prima would be more helpful if it would give the page number for side quests that occur during the main quest. It is frustrating to thumb through the book trying to find the side quest that is character driven.
This game guide for DA: Origins Awakening isn't as good as Prima's DA: Origins game guide because the first game of Dragon Age Origins was new and did require a lot of "how to" information though the Monster Encyclopedia is a little fluffy in both guides--just highlight the bosses.

Other game guides by Prima are top notch such as the Fallout 3 Game Guide, which DA: Origins Awakening SHOULD have been made like, so by no means should Prima be judged as a "bad" source for game guides based on DA: Origins Awakening.

ok, besides that, it's very handy for gifts, databases, class building guides, etc. nice companion. the original strat guide for "origins" was a little better overall but this is terrific.

Its from the same author as the Origins guide, mainly same organization of topics.Little diference in the "right to the point" attitude because this is just an expansion game and most of the plot and mayor secrets are revealed as you go. The guide would be mainly, as the one for Origins, for those gamers that would like to achieve everything on a playthough. In overall the guide provides decent coverage of secrets, characters and multiple choises for those decisive momets in the game.

This guide has all you need to breeze through the game with ease! Well written and very specific when dealing with main story quest and all side quests in game. The maps are well labled and help greatly when trying to complete all quests available in a timely order. If you have play many games like Dragon Age before dealing with several quests you know the major problem in doing the quests is, (A.) Finding out what to do to start the quest. and (B.) Where to go to complete the quest. These two things alone will have you running in circles for hours until you get lucky and run into the right character or spot in the game. With this guide you just go where you need to go and save yourself the headach!

I liked the produck but am very unhappy with being bumbarded with request to rate the produck(I have delited the email for three days) does this satas fie the bean conters.

Typical of Prima game guides, but this one seems to miss some minor hidden, or not so hidden items and features.

This is a great game. The graphics are great, and the story line phenominal.

I also really love the fact that you have more than one character to fight with. Other games have one character that is able to do-it-all, but this setup is so much more fun to play.

I have two negatives:(But it in no way takes away from the game).

1) While you get to set up your characters profile, all the way to picking a voice, you never get the opportunity to really hear your characters voice. I'd like a toggle to allow you to hear what your main character is saying. Even though you pick the lines he will speak, it would be awesome to have this ability.
2) The walkthrough by Prima (I've used Prima on other games with great success and enjoyability), can be a little better. It doesn't give the same walkthrough experience that I've had from them before. Maybe the game is too complicated for them to get a good handle on it.

Thanks for making a truly great game experience.

This strategy guide is garbage so that's where I put it. Prima should look a good strategy guide like Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to see how it's done. Thanks for nothing.

Everything you need to know to maximize your enjoyment, and to make sure you don't miss anything, is right here in this easy-to-use and comprehensive guide.

All the maps, tips, hints, strategies for play and character development, inventory, characters... it's all here.

This is as good as it gets.

did not get this book and it has been over 30 days from ording.so not happy at all will not ever do it again
