I've done precious little other than play DA2 for the last two days. I'm still only at the start-ish of the first (second?) timeskip. I've spent over twenty hours hours delving into sidequests, laughing at banters, developping empathy for companions, reeling with pain at the first major plot twist in the Deep Roads (had a certain character with me), and raining arrows upon my foes.

I love this game.

I played through DA:O many times, I loved it. But I love DA2 even more. More tough choices, less compromises. Companions that are just as loveable but twice as subtle. A world that actually feels like it lives and grows around me. The feeling of getting to know my little corner of the world better and better. A real, visible soul for my character -- who I still feel like I'm defining myself.

I LOVE how the story is less "epic," because it's more real. Politics, culture clashing, value dissonance -- it's all way more compelling to me than saving the world ever was, as much as I enjoyed that. I LOVE the framed narrative -- watching Varric exaggerate how awesome he is never fails to make me smile. I LOVE the graphics -- still recognizably Dragon Age, but defined and bold. And you know what? I LOVE the combat. It feels visceral, fun, responsive, and still requires a lot of thought at higher difficulties.

It's not perfect. My character says things I don't expect them to via the Conversation Wheel, sometimes. It's shaping up to be a little short, for me. I wish there were more options to talk to/with companions. I have major issues with how limited healers are. And I find Normal far, far, far too easy -- but Hard a little frustratingly tough on some fights.

But I love this game, I ADORE this game, and I wanted to thank the hell out of Bioware for making it.

I know some people hate it. That's their right. But there's someone who is, without hyperbole, enjoying it more than they've ever enjoyed another game: me. Maybe when I come off the high, I'll less charitable ... but I doubt it.

~cause this damn game sings the song of my soul~

tl;dr: this game is awesome, Bioware is awesome, everything is awesome, carry on. Even if I get locked for being off topic, somebody read this and knows that no matter how much criticism you get, for ONE person, you hit the sweet spot right down the middle.
