I loaded up the forums to look up a quest real quick, and I'm bombarded with threads about how terrible DA2 is, how boring it is, "stop making console games" etc.

I'm honestly surprised.  I like DA2 more than I liked DAO.

I find the main character to be more interesting.  While not as epic as Morrigan, I'm really enjoying my companionship with Fenris.  He's an interesting character, imo.

The story is interesting.  I am happy there isn't a typical "go to 3 seperate areas, do things there, then meet up at the end and kill a big bad dude" type storyline that has been around since Baldur's Gate.  They experimented with a persistant city, and I LIKE it!

I like knowing that my interactions with Thrask changed the story later.  How me saving a Templar from Blood Mages changes the story.  How I get updated years later from a boy I helped out of the Circle.  

Kirkwall feels like a living city, and it feels like my actions have consequences.  During act 1, I cheated the smuggler chick out of her money.  Then, when I visited Hightown at night, she ambushed me!  That was awesome!  

And the combat is easily the most entertaining combat I've ever played.  It's fast paced, fun, and interesting.  I get to use my wide variety of spells on different monsters to different effects.  I queue up class-combos and dominate things.  I feel powerful when I visit lowtown in act 3 and get attacked by thugs I 1-shot with fireball.  I feel like my character has changed - instead of being the same throughout each act.

Kudos to Bioware.  I love it.  Thanks for experimenting.
