A suicidal party member might sound like hard work but BioWare assures that Sigrun "craves a chance to prove she is more than a worthless gutter-rat" and "also has a huge chip on her shoulder, and she plans on taking out as many enemies as possible" before she snuffs it--handy when you're facing ghost dragons and intelligent Darkspawn.

Priced at $40, Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening will be released for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 16 in North America then March 19 in Europe.
