In Dragon Age 2 - when the bad things happen, I get sweeping screen shots, big music, and gasps.
In Dragon Age: Origins - when I kill a little boy - I get a crying mother and an appalled father.
"Dark" is sensationalized in Dragon Age 2 - "The Chantry blew up - now FIGHT!"
I believe in the banality of evil - and Dragon Age achieves that. What happens when you do something like destroy Andraste's ashes... is there a big spectacle? I never did it. If it's just Liliana freaking out - then that's what I'm talking about (I still have the death of Isolde or Conner to prove my point about banality - but this point came to mind too).
The Guardian is all "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" and Liliana starts freaking out too and they both try to kill you. But there IS this scene where the High Dragon is about to attack you and the Reaver stops her... awesome scene but I suppose thats beside the point.
I'll admit I AM partial to that personal feeling of holding a knife to some guys throat, and the dark silence afterward, rather than DOOOOON DON DOOOOON DOOON DOOOOOON and explosions. Not that the latter is BAD, but there is just something special about the former.
