You need an EA account (which you can register for on the DA:J site) which you log into and it saves your progress and items unlocked. When you then play DA:O, you will be able to log into the same account and transfer those items across.

Yes, but the flavor text for the "achievements" sounds like I need to also complete a quest in DA:O

Dragon Age will be completely different, trust me.

oh definitely, Dragon Age Origins is a Bioware RPG, like KOTOR or Jade Empire.
This is turn based action.. very different.

This is quite an enjoyable wee game. Didnt have high hopes for this but now i got playing i cant stop.

I know, it's really surprising!

Oh, OK. As long as they don't make it "generic Lord of the Rings fantasy" with the story, it may be a good time.

Well, just finished my final run through the flash game. Managed to get all the achievements, so I have all three unlocks.
Passed the time before the main game, but if they charge for future ones I won't be paying.
Hope the items are worth it when I get the game tomorrow!
[edit] I mean later today... didn't realise the time!
