An actual review of Dragon Age 2 instead of just a review based on the history of the company and the first game.

8/10. The way it should be. It's a step back.

The review supports my opinion so it is correct. All dissenting opinions are wrong.
Black and white world must be a really nice place to live in.

That's actually pretty much the same sentiments as most of the other reviews. So, why do you act as if it's special?

I am sure the other reviews were just as honest...remember not everyone's opinion is the same.

Ahhh Gamespot. Thus why I never go to their site anymore. I never agree with any of their reviews.

This sounds about the same from other reviews. I don't see anything special on this one. IGN has their 360 review out. About the same really.
Edit:
I dont really check G4's reviews but 3/5? I'm guessing they didn't really like it much.![=]](https://lvlt.forum.bioware.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sideways.png)

This reviewer basically confirmed my fears. BioWare has streamlined numerous things that didn't need streamlining in the first place.

You know, the funny thing is...every review basically lists the same pros/cons about the game -- it's just the actual score that is different.

I think this quote made my day:
In any case, you must choose how to respond to the game's events, using a
dialogue wheel that clearly labels the attitude governing your
response. (The red icon is the aggressive option, for example, while the
green icon is the kind one.) Sometimes, your choices don't have
gameplay consequences at all and amount to smoke and mirrors, giving the
illusion of choice but nothing more. This is perfectly reasonable for
the most part, given that such dialogue choices allow you to role-play,
even when they carry no further weight. There are events that play out
much the same way regardless of how you respond, however, which makes
some of these illusions disappointingly transparent. Yet there are many
more weighty decisions in this game than in its predecessor, and they
affect your progress in some really fantastic ways--some of them subtle,
some of them not,
(End of quote)
It then goes on to say:
Having a particular party member with you might let you steer the
conversation in different directions than you otherwise might have. Plot
threads are tied up in a number of ways, depending on what character
you side with, if any, and potential future paths are then opened or
closed.
(End of quote again)
This is exactly what I've been hoping for. Meaningful choice and consequences, plus branching paths. Looks like I'll be a happy person come Thursday/Friday.

this isn't bad reviews mind you, but point of criticisms also are not surprising, I suspected something like this.

This is actually only the second review I've read that talked about choice and consequence. I'm glad to hear someone else is making the claim, that means I can hold hope.

The first DA was a BioWare game. This is an EA game. Milking a franchise for $.

Good for him/her. Reviews are subjected to the opinion of the reviewer which most of the time have not much in common with mine. I'll play the game and judge myself.

One their site, it says that the score is for the console version. PC version is still being reviewed, it seems.

Funny, yeah. But really, we should expect this. What's in the game is pretty much objective fact. How you score those facts is the subjective part of the review.

Honestly, there's no such thing as one reviewer lying and another being honest. They're all giving their valid opinion of the game. I remember one reviewer giving Origins a 63/100. They're being just as honest as the others who gave Origins 8-9 out of 10.

You know... I just looked at the review and everyone's focusing on the negative aspects, plus the score. Yet I picked out something with my quotes that should make most roleplayers happy and it gets no attention...? 
Edit: Except for Taleroth's attention that is.

This hit me like a ton of bricks.
Why? Because its true.
The "inexplicable dumbing down" is truth.

The fact that you guys jump all over me for posting this proves the level of fanboism here.
The game is a dumbed down version of origins. They "fixed" things that didn't need to be and in the process cheapened the entire series. You continually saying how amazing Bioware is doesn't get you any brownie points. Just admit the game is stripped and dumbed down.

Yeah but the PC version can get 4/5 at best... I can't wait for my copy to come so I can see what the f Bioware messed up...
