Well, I was somewhat disappointed after the demo. Then I was disappointed very strongly till about Act 2, where the story picked up and I actually cared about the character I played and the world I was in. Then I finished the game, thought about it, and decided it wasn't that bad or that great, a 7/10 let's say. So you could say it grew on me. But not enough.

Please respond with one of following:

-Demo only.

-Only to Act 1(around 10 hours).

-Only to Act 2(around 25 hours).

-Only to Act 3(around 40 hours).

-Beat the game.

I didn't have an issue with the Demo really.  It was only a small representation of the game.

I spent 15+ hours in Act 1.  And Act 1 was terrible I stopped playing for a few days.  I could see nothing I did in DA:O mattered at all.  The short rather pointless cameos proved that.  But I was so sick of playing it by the end of Act 1 I put it to rest until my next day off, which is tomorrow.  This game just can't keep me motivated.  The faster combat, voice player character, and new talent/spell advancement system are improvements but everything else about the game is disappointing.

I'm not angry.  But I am very disappointed.  DA2 could have been a 10 but it will remain a 7 in my eyes.  It's not likely to be a game I play much.  Which to me means I wasted my money.

 Beat the game. I can't say that I didn't like it, I really can't. There were just too many disappointing moments.

I beat the game, and started a second playthrough.

The story was... disjointed. 90% of the time I didn't even know why I was doing such and such quest.
It then ends in an absolutely ridiculous boss fight and an open ending that doesn't provide any sense of closure.
It also had way too much drama, so much so than after a while, I was just expecting everyone to drop dead for added angst.
No real choices/consequences. No matter what you chose, it ended the same way.

I couldn't care less about the companions, who were the reason I loved DAO so much.
The romances (Anders', at least) were kind of... rushed? You flirt a bit then it's suddenly "I love you SO MUCH".

Overall the game failed to elicite any emotion from me, other than boredom.

I was looking forward to this game, too.
I really wanted to like it, but the game wouldn't let me. :(

Disappointed here.

Played well into act II (20 to 25 hours, I'd guess). No motivation to do any more. Sure, I'll probably finish it eventually - but a brand new AAA title that I put away for 3 days straight with no motivation to go forward - meh.

I finished the dang thing... But it was basically a DRONE.  I figured for 59.99, I was gonna finsh it come heck or high water..

Furthremore, the story perked up in the 3rd inning, but there were still too many glaring issues with the storyline that I probably shouldn't discuss in the spoiler-free forum...  Suffice it to say there were serious story continuity issues (e.g. using Merril in your party given you [blanked out for spoilers sake])

Act 1 is horrible you have no motivation beyond getting money. It took me till towards the end of act 2 to actually find some sort of plot. Everything else is sidequests. I'm getting there slowly, should at least be done by friday (when it had to go back).

I think I was on my third play of DA in the same period of days.

I was fine with the game, despite lots of small flaws, through Act 2.  As soona s Act 3 started that plane started to crash and burn.  By the end of the game it's a mix of relief that it's over, and anger that you didn't get more to make up for the things you got stiffed out of.

I finished it, but by god, my enthusiasm dipped in Act Two. I stopped doing the side-quests, because I was sick of the combat grind (against hundreds of spawning weak foes) and fetch quests.

Unfortunatelt Act I pretty much kills the game for multiple play through's......

The side quests really are obligatory imo, because without doign them, you either can't get the gold....or don't get the opportunity to loan the money (by the time I got that opportunity, I already had the gold)....

First run through, fair enough, do everything to see whats the game has to offer, but uggghhh...been meaning to start a new game all day....still have not done so yet....

Oh...and beat it at 39 hours and 39 minutes.

just started act 2 and am actually liking the game for the most part..

i know you stated to only post if your are disappointed, but i had to come in here and again state my surprise.. im just shocked that DA2 gets all this negative feedback, when ME2 had much more significant changes (and IMO not in a good way) and was received so positively..

^ Having a lot of changes from a prior version doesn't necessarily make them bad changes. ME2 did have elements many people didn't like due to how dumbed down it became, but the game itself was at least coherent and stuck to its direction. It was not the game many people wanted, but it was still a good game. DA2 is not.

No substance. The story. What story? The writer needs to be crucified. He's gay too. He sicks his love bunny anders on you as soon as the game starts. A pale line drawing comared to Origins.

Beat the game

Honestly Im back and forth with like and dislike.  On third playthrough.  Wanted to play once with each class just to try everything.  Some things I enjoy, others I run overtop of to get to the parts I enjoy.

By the time I got to Act 3 I was already sick of the game. But I sucked it up and finished it anyway.
I should have saved my money for Skyrim, or Deus Ex: HR.

Finished the game, thought, huh, thats all? Fired up Origins and immediately thought on how slow the combat was and how useless some of the talents in DAO were. Other then that to me the original has atmosphere in spades, love the little details that are not in this game, even the gui belongs. That game was done with love and care.

Disappointed here too. I don't hate the game, but I expected much better.

I played around 50 hours and finished the game on a warrior, on PS3.

Beat the game, act 3 was the worst piece of garbage I've ever played. It was just nonstop vomiting for me. Would have quit except I figured it was Bioware and it would get better, because they know what their doing. Obviously I was wrong.

The game has A LOT of flaws. No game-breaking ones though. Still I liked it in general. I didn't love it like the way I usual feel about Bioware-games.

Beat the game.

I beat the game. I have a feeling the OP is going to reply with something to the effect of "Well how can you hate it if you played all the way through!?"
