Yup, I downloaded it some weeks ago and it contains everything (the Awakening expansion as well as all the DLCs)  |

Use the mouse wheel young one. Yes you aren't able to zoom out much, but that'll change once the modders get out of napping time. And to be frank I think you can tweek the zoom with ini edits. Of course that depends if it works the same way as F3/FNV did.
Speaking of mods, anyone tired of holding tab down to highlight things you can click on, or just tired of having no auto run? Then this mod is for you:

Friendship is like peeing on yourself; everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

I do use the mouse wheel, padawan. But if your mage is jammed in a corner and you can't zoom out all the way, it makes this young one want to give the devs who decided on this camera system the back of my ring hand

Isometric camera mod is badly needed.

This game has so much content, it's unbelievable. Too bad design flaws keep it from being a classic. This game could easily have topped DA:O, but Bioware clearly did not put half the effort they put into the predecessor. If you liked Act 1 even slightly, keep playing. In the following acts there are many hidden quests and random items. The game peaks in act 2 and slowly loses it towards the end. The droprate in the fourth chapter is ridiculous, I had five "epic" weapons in the fourth chapter. It's like they said "oh fuck it ends man, WTF should we do?" The rushjob in the end is not half as bad as say Risen, but it is really present. They've put in so much effort in the content and filled the game with tiny tidbits, but in the end it's still not done. I enjoyed the game, it lasted me 42 hours, but in the end I was left with a big "damn shame" mentality. Damn shame indeed. I know 42 hours is a long game, but it still feels incomplete.
As for design flaws, the recyclage is a big rookie mistake. Did no one play it and told them this shit sucks? Even an idiot would've realized it was a stupid decision. I also do not understand why act 1, which is not even a short intro, must be so directed. In teh later levels exploring is a must if you want to see everything, but in act 1 exploration is practically useless since everything you need to know is already pointed out. So while in act 1 you simply go from point of interest to point of interest, in the later acts there are things to discover on your own. Strange design. I do not understand the philophy behind this game.

Archer is by far the strongest class in the game. I found it fairly fun as well.

Damn it... my savegames have been infected by the combat slowdown bug. 
Oh well, I'll finish ACB in the meantime.
1 and 2 are still amazing.

Finished the 2nd playthrough, rushed this one a bit, 22h (1st one was around 28h) while spending 15h just in the first act, the other two I rushed them.

Finally finished it and I liked it. Some things are better than the original, some are worse. Overall, it was as good as DA:O for me. It would've been much better if this was released as some sort of spin-off though, telling the story from a different pov. They could've brought the two stories together in Dragon Age 2.
The problem with Bioware is that improving one aspect seems to always coincide with neglecting another part. The same was apparent in ME2. I expect from a big named dev to better everything in a sequel, some minor inevitable fuck ups excluded of course. When a sequel is "as good as" the predecessor, it's not enough. It all has been done already, so the novelty of it was gone. A sequel not bettering most aspects compared to the predecessor will always get a lower rating in my book, even if it is as much fun as the first. This one could've been awesome, damn shame.

Honestly, you're asking me? I played the derpsole version sooo... Assign "Backstab", "Explosive Strike" and "Twin Fangs" to the face buttons. Activate sustained mode "Speed" and then alternate between hammering the attack and "skill" buttons until WINRAR is you.
Rinse and repeat for every fight in the game ... and you win! Probably best to assign "Miasmic Flask" too, just so you can REALLY overpower all those pesky enemies.

Dual-wield for some serious ass-kicking 
Why no PC love 
. Dunno when to start playing it again since...well I think im going to finish ACB first and after that maybe, imo I was asking cause Rogues seems to be diff from DAO (most of my playthroughs there were with rogues...).
