Just got this and the graphics are giving me a headache. Does everyone have clipping issues with dwarf beards, dwarf pauldrons, and a shield that floats of your back, or is my game bugged?

WAD, I'm afraid. The floating shield is not noticeable when viewed from different angles. The clipping is annoying at first, but you get to the point where you ignore it. The dwarves' beard tips being glued to their chest is what really grates.

That's just because the Dwarfs eat lots of sticky food.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Dragon Age EXPANSION announced!  :w00t:

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/61805

QuoteBioWare today announced the "first" Dragon Age: Origins expansion, titled 'Awakening' and continuing the fantasy RPG's storyline with new areas and party members in March.

Playing with an existing Dragon Age character or starting afresh as "a new Grey Warden from the neighboring land of Orlais," Awakening will charge players with rebuilding the order and "uncovering the mystery of how the darkspawn survive after the slaying of the Archdemon," BioWare reveals in a press release.

As well as the new world area of 'Amaranthine,' Awakening adds the ability to re-spec characters, "an increased level cap, new spells, abilities, specializations and items, plus five all-new party members" and naturally new enemies, including "an evolved, intelligent breed of darkspawn," Inferno Golems and Spectral Dragons.

"How players choose to rebuild their order, resolve the conflict with the mysterious 'Architect,' and determine the fate of the darkspawn are just some of the many intriguing moral choices that will shape each player's heroic journey," teases BioWare.

Requiring the original game, Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening is scheduled for a March 16 worldwide release on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at the princely price of $40.

Which is why you get to create a new character for the expansion...there is a new origin as an Orlesian Grey Warden just for the expansion...so work on your french accent.

Gotta say that Bioware has built up a massive amount of goodwill with me the last 6 months or so. They really do deliver good things unlike some.....like CA...
