Based off of what you know (or think you know) about DA2 at this point, what are 3 things you Like about DA2 and 3 things you Dislike? Feel free to compare DA2 to DA:O or RPGs in general.

Please refrain from harshly criticizing others' opinions/responses.  These are meant to be our impressions of DA2 at this moment in time, whether ultimately correct or incorrect.

Like:
1) Combat overall seems to be a big improvement over DA:O.

2) The story looks to have lots of promise.  Playing through an RPG like DA as it progresses through time instead of physical locations is novel and intriguing to me.

3) Lots of seemingly unique and interesting followers to choose from to make up your party.

Dislike:
1) Not thrilled at the inability to cross-class Hawke.  Warriors can't dual-wield, Mages can't swing swords, Rogues can't cast some (Illusion) spells, etc.  Along the same lines, kinda sad that Hawke has to be Human.

2) Concerned about the overall artistic design in DA2 as its been criticised in various reviews and what was "shown off" in the demo.  Much less ancillary detail than DA:O, cookie-cutter areas, somewhat lifeless main city, brownness/greyness, etc.

3) Cannot fully customize followers' equipment.

How about we play the game, then actually have a better idea on what we like/dislike.

[Gill Kaiser]

Like:
- The emphasis on a personal story spanning 10 years.
- Most of the new art style, the new animations and the sped-up combat.
- Both Hawkes' voices.

Dislike:
- The Darkspawn redesign.
- The removal of the isometric camera.
- The poorly-paced and executed dramatisation of the prologue (if the demo is any indication).

[falconlord5]

Like: The combat, the story, and the characters.

Dislike: The fans, the fans, and oh.. the fans.

[Excision]

Like:
-combat speed
-armor/weapon design
-Improvements in conversation animation

Dislike:
-new look of the darkspawn
-Limited scenery
-no morrigan (as far as I know)

[GunClubGirl]

LIKE:

1. Most of the characters, especially Anders and Bethany.
2. Rogue archer is improved.
3. There will be romances again, and Anders will be one such option.

DISLIKE:

1. Hack-n-slash feel of combat, especially in the warrior role.
2. New cooldown times on healing and health potions, and the fact I will have to have 2 mages all the time to compensate.
3. The fact that so much of the game is in Kirkwall and there isn't a large map of places to discover.

Also I like and dislike... that Alistair will (rumored) have a cameo appearance on some games depending on save upload (rumor - cannot confirm) and dislike that Alistair is not a playable character!

[Typical Forum Sycophant]

1. I dislike fighting like a spartan, the phalanx has been outdated since the roman era

2. I dislike thinking like a general; frankly, i'm not that smart

3. The new Darkspawn design is a step down, in both looks and fright factor

1. I like the new skill tree's

2. I like the faster combat animations; though I wish rogue would have to EARN his speed and flips gradually as opposed to starting out so godly

3. Everything about Flemeth (me likey)

[AlexXIV]

Like: I can play the game soon.

Dislike: I can't play it yet.

[Maconbar]

Like:
Reports that our in game decisions matter.

You did read the part that said:

As for my likes and dislikes, I like the voiced character (might actually feel like I'm playing as a human being this time, instead of just another emotionless blank slate), the fact that combat might have some depth to it this time and Isabella as a character.

I dislike the ridiculously flashy combat animations (OK, so DAO was too slow, but this is too fast. Some middle ground would be nice, guys... ), the removal of simple features for no apparent reason (no key to show enemy health bars, some spells can't be targetted now, no top-down view to manage your characters better... ) and Isabella's character model (yes, there is such a thing as too much boobage ).

[Celtic Latino]

Likes: 

01. Much, much better and more engaging combat
02. Interactive voiced protagonist
03. Friendship/Rivalry system

Dislikes: 

01. Hawke's family always has black hair (that's a bit dumb) 
02. Companion armors are fixed (seems to be a take from ME2) 
03. That its about a week until March 8...the game can't come soon enough : ( 

[EclipticOlive54]

Dislike:
1) Can't play any other races
2) Nothing else
3) Can't play it yet

Like:
1) DA 2 is coming out
2) Voiced actor
3) Combat much more interesting since I can control the normal attacks anyway.

[DalishRanger]

Like
1. Dialogue wheel with the tone icons/dominant personality system.
2. Focus on personal story/family rather than saving the world type deal. Was one of the things I loved about the Baldur's Gate series and am glad to see Bioware shift focus to it once more.
3. The artwork of the transition movies. LOVE that.

Dislike
1. Bethany's voice. Not Bethany herself - just that her voice feels like it's lacking some inflection.
2. Not being able to go to the character creator right away.
3. Mini-map is too easy to miss - blends in with the rest of the screen too much.

[AmaZiin_HD]

Like: Friendship/Rivalry meters, Male/Female VA's and Faster Combat
Dislike: Mages "Enemy too far" Dance, Potions cooldown time and losing Carver/Bethany based on class.

[ReallyRue]

Like: Friendship/rivalry paths, more talent trees for warrior/rogue, Anders/Vengeance.
Dislike: 'Out of range' mage animation, no Aveline romance, having to wait until March 11th.

[Guitar-Hero]

Like
Combat animations and speed
Voiced PC
The different take on narrative, as in no Ancient Evil and so on.

Dislike
Unbalanced graphics
Stiff surroundings
NPC's walking patterns, you know, walk, stop, turn, take three steps, turn and so on, feels unnatural and dead

[Blaze Crow]

Like
1.combat.
2.grapics
3.mage class

dislike
1.losing a sibling based on class
2.cooldown
3. waiting a week for it to come out.

[Kingthlayer]

Like:

Combat
Voiced Hawke
Hawke has an awesome beard

Dislike:

Can't be Dwarf
Varric has no beard
Can't romance Varric

[Big Blue Car]

Like;
1. Combat that is more fun with less redundant choices
2. um...
3. Isabela's ****** I guess?

Dislikes
1. Combat is still simplistic and dull compared to either BG2 or any modern action game, Bioware are pandering to both but satisfying neither
2. The moment to moment writing, it is bad
3. All the DLC nonsense

[Bunswack]

LIKE

• New synergy in combat skills between different classes
• Voiced protagonist
• Faster paced combat system

DISLIKE

• Darkspawn hurlock redesign
• Didn't notice any execution animations while in combat during demo play like in DA:O
• Hawke didn't seem to care much that his sibling died lol

[Neleothesze]

From what we know so far
Likes (in no particular order)

• I like the fact that Anders is romanceable this time around  [come on, I gave him a kitty and he still didn't jump in bed with my Warden?!] and I'm moderately optimistic about the added complexity of his story (with him hosting Vengeance's spirit and all)
• I like the fact that mages are finally rebelling against the tyrannical Chantry directives [so YAY for part of the main plot]
• I like the fact that Mother Hawke survives the trip from Lothering. <3 Finally I can have someone bake me some pie and listen to my woes when I come back from fighting bandits, ogres, giant spiders and unproductive Taking-Over-the-World meetings.

Dislikes (again, in no particular order)

• I'm not a huge fan of the graphics, especially the updated darkspawn ( the first time I saw the broodmother in DA:O I freaked out. the first time I saw the darkspawn in the screenshots then the demo of DA:2 I was like, 'this is a beta build right?' )
• I don't like that they're using the death of one of your siblings as a plot device (let's kill off the family again) [*cough* Cousland *cough*]
• It's my first RPG with such fast and flashy - also disjointed - combat moves and I'm not sure I like it. (Even WoW had slower animations which flowed more naturally one after the other...and I played a stabby stabby rogue for 3 years not a warrior/DK/retri pala)

[Haasth]

Like:
- The new combat.
- Friendship/rivalry system.
- New UI. 

Dislike:

- Darkspawn redesign.
- Unable to click through characters. 

[Kuroi Kenshi]

Like
-Combat
- class alterations (finally it's fun to play as warrior and rogue)
- Art style (with exceptions mention below)

Dislike

- Can't change companion armor
- .....

[harktag]

Like:
1) New basic attack animations for mage!!
2) Anders is back!!!!!
3) All LI's are bi!!! (If that rumor actually holds true!)


Dislike:
1) Hawke's reaction - the lack thereof - to the death of his sibling.
2) Heal cooldown was increased too much, IMHO.
3) It currently looks like we can't modify Hawke's appearance for the "exaggerated" story. That's a little jarring to me.
