I have no inkling of understanding about how anyone can trash this game. I haven't finished it yet but what I have played so far has restored my faith in the RPG genre.
The game is LONG. The amount of sidequests in the first act alone amounts to more than the whole of any game ever made by Bethesda.
The combat is fluid and fun. People are complaining about how theres not enough abilities and its too twitchy. Guess what tards? The real world is twitchy. In the real world people don't take turns swinging at each other standing in one spot because dice is rolling in the background. Continous Turn Based combat is old tech. Twitch combat in RPGs is the next step. CTB combat killed Turn Based Combat in the late 90s and now its run its course. Twitch is gonna kill CTB. Get used to it. The fact that DA:O used CTB was a little outdated to begin with. With games like Elder scrolls, Fallout 3 and Fable using twitch I was a little surprised Origins went the route they did. DA2 is following the trends of the future. If you don't like it, crawl into a hole and play some Baldur's Gate. The rest of the world is done living in 1999. DA:O might have been the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate but that dosen't mean DA2 has to bow down to its dated tech.
Secondly one of the big beefs i have had with RPGs lately is the dumbing down. Console gamers are killing RPGs, its true. Bethesda has been making the gamplay in their titles more and more stupid in exchange for graphics. You should applaude DA2 for fixing such trends. The gameplay is deep, the characters are deep dispite what you say, and thats a hell of a lot better thans what the other devs have been crapping out over the last 5 years since Oblivifail. The characters, while not as diverse as Orgins, are a lot deeper. You could figure out the personality Alistair Sten or Leliana in less than a minute. They are all cliche sterotypes. Alistair is the comic relief. Sten is the stoic warrior and Leliana is the girlly girl. But thats all they are. There was nothing deeper than that, you had them all figured out from square one. You have to really look at these new NPCs to figure them out. They don't wear their feelings and secrets on their shirt like Origins characters did. You have to think and get to know them. I know I know, thinking is hard but its really appeasing when you learn to do it.
The game is challenging. Very challenging. The fact that people are saying you can't use strategy blows my mind. How could anyone be so stupid? The game is 10 times the difficulty of Origins. You can't potion spam anymore for instance. Maybe thats you people's problem, your only strat was to cheese through encounters by spamming health pots and now you can't, so you say the tactical aspects are broke. The scope of the encounters really make you think. You can just blind rush into a room of hurlocks anymore and expect wynne to back you up. You gotta think, something I guess a lot of people lack the ability to do.
Now for gear. If you think RPGs are about stats and loot you've been playing too many MMOs. RPGs should never be about loot. The fact that you can't replace NPC armor is a step in the right direction. RPGs are about playing a character. Its about acting out a personality. Power gamers and Meta Gamers have lost touch with what their genre is all about. If they took random rolls, loot, and stats out of RPGs and left only the character development I would be a very happy man.
The fact of this whole rant is that this game is amazing. Thats not an opinion, its a fact. Despite some bugs I can see absolutely nothing an RPG fan can complain about unless they are a bunch of nostalgia blind idiots who can't advance past Baldur's Gate: Throne of Bhaal.
Those of you out there who are looking at these forums for a reason to play or not to play dragon age 2. Don't listen to the opinions of these sightless fools. Play the game and love it because I know you will. This is the best thing to happen to RPGs since the 90s.
Go ahead and start the flame throwers. I know the ****** mob will have a hayday with this. I hope some of the real gamers out there will back me up and show these idiots what a great game they are missing.

The best part is, you are calling people sightless fools, even tho the game isnt selling that well, and probably wont even sell as well as Origins, so I guess everyone is sightless except you right?
Your whole post smells of stupidity.

Yeah calling people retard cry babies simply because they don't agree with your opinion isn't exactly the best way to win people over.
I don't even care about the content of the main body of your post. The fact that you started and ended the post by insulting people is just bad.

What ever happened to manners? And civility? Seriously, if you're trying to get a point across, it would help to not call people 'cry baby gamer emos'.
I have no desire to be tactful, I want people to get mad. The Bioware supporters who are being polite are getting out yelled by those who dislike the game. Obviously manners arn't getting enough attention

Soo.. yeah. Being intentionally (by your own admission) hostile, insulting and belittling you broke both of those. I need a thumbs-up emote.
