I'd question the "recycled dungeons" comment, especially with the reviewer's last line above. It's probable you'll be revisiting areas over the course of the 10 year storyline, although it wouldn't surprise me if there were some generic areas present.
Every review I've seen has mentioned that. Like re-used caves and basements.

What did DAO get?
9.0, according to the website.
OP, thanks for sharing. Good to see the game getting nice reviews.
Edit: I'm also curious btw about more snippets of the review, if it's not too much trouble. So, please do PM me if you don't mind.

Obligatory "did they say anything about romances" question.
"Dragon Age: Origins got a lot of ink for its fearlessness in stripping its characters down to their skivvies for some rather awkward campfire flesh-pressing to depic t"romance." Call us immature, but what was supposed to be poignant instead just gave us a case of red-faced grade-school giggles. Thankfully, DAII ditches the oddball uncanny-balley sex scenes for much more subtle, tasteful pairings. The result keeps its intended story-path purpose without all that goofy YouTube fodder. Thank the Maker, seriously."
I'd be named of the so called "Purists", but hell, that sounds like a very good change!
Underpants Hugging was awful. I slammed the controller in my face to try get the image out of head.

If they are like DA:O (i.e. reused textures, but different layout), I'm fine with that.

I still maintain it was the designers trying to encourage "safe sex". :innocent:TGFKAMAdmaX wrote...

Mine was "WTF this is supposed to be an 18 rated game".

But they are exact one-to-one copies, according to one of the german reviews at least.Xerxes52 wrote...
I'm not too worried about the dungeons as long as their not cookie-cutter areas like in Mass Effect.

Origins has a lot of areas, DA2 apparently does not. Probably why every reviewer seems to have noticed stuff being re-used. Yes all games do it, but when you notice it that much something is off.

no way, I have to refuse to believe that. They may look the same but they all have differen't layouts. No game does the same dungeon over and over and over.....Hell even during the NES days, dungeons may have looked the same but they were not the same layout.
