How many times did you replay DAO?
How many times have you replayed or are planning to replay DA2?
(I know it's still early, and the game has only been out for a few weeks)

For me, I am on currently on my 4th playthrough of Origins - and I'm still enjoying the game a lot. Everytime I go through it, it reminds me of how great and expansive an RPG can be.

As far as DA2 is concerned, I haven't been able to play it for more than a few hours. Yes, of course, I can't make a well informed decision about a game after only a few hours gameplay, but there is nothing there that holds my interest, and I choose not to play it. So I won't comment too much about the gameplay mechanics and setting and other aspects of the game - there are more than enough posts about that already. I will just say that I will probably never get through and finish DA2 even once.

DA2 recycles so many zones that your first playthrough feels like your third by the time you finish. It doesn't really hold a candle in comparison to DA:O in terms of replayability.

How many times did you replay DAO? - 1
How many times have you replayed or are planning to replay DA2? - Played 2, Finishing Again.

DAO was agonizingly boring after the 1st play thru.

I'm replaying DA:O for my 4th time at the moment, mostly because I don't want to play DA2 in it's current state.

DA:O: about 6 or 7 playthoughs, maybe more.
DA2: 1,5 at the moment and I don't really feel like continuing, feels like I've seen it all too many times. I'll maybe continue if any good dlc comes out.

DA:O once, I plan on replaying DA2 as a warrior and a mage since I've just finished as a rogue. Unfortunately the long dungeons can be a pain once you've been through them once in DAO, makes it harder to replay for me.

How people can play DA2 more than once is beyond me.. I've played once through(warrior), stopped one play at act2(Rogue), and I'm struggling now nearing ACT3(mage) Its the recycled areas, God of War/ Devil May Cry/etc type bosses(massive HP bar), spamming waves of enemies, and tedious side quests that make me feel like I'm working for fedex.

I re-iterate from previous posts, I don't think DA2 is a bad game, its just not a good RPG game, tries to do too much and achieves too little.

Second replay in progress as mage. Will not play again. Hopefully there maybe future DLC which will be better. Going back to DAO as still several more ways to play i.e female roles. Have played DAO and DAO Awakenings numerous times.

DAO - 4 times to completion plus a handful of starts. Will likely replay again.
DA2 - 2 times to completion but that's it for me. I'm done.

DA:O about 5-6 times, and already have planned various playthroughs for the future, due to mods I still want to try out. (Don't have the PC-version for long)

In DA2 I'm on my first and have already to force myself to keep playing. Kirkwall is so frikkin dull...as well as Hawke her/himself. Ugh. I feel absolutely no urge to see this story continuing further in DLC's or even worse replay the game a second time. The gameplay/locations/Main-char is too tiresome and dull for that.

Origins...I don't know, a dozen times?

DA2..couldn't even complete one run. Act III is so horribly bugged I just gave up. Getting locked in a bugged out, now inescapable warehouse was the final straw.

DA:O had more replay value, I'm pretty sure of that. Though DA2 isn't bad either. DA:O's variety of origin stories alone made you want to replay.

DA2 does suffer from recycled area maps, and that's a great shame. Still, enjoying my second playtrhough, and will probably go through a third, just to have experienced all the classes. I suspect that by then I've had enough though.

Played through DA:O at least a dozen times, probably more. Finished DA2 once (plus 2 earlier plays as far as the start of Act 2 to test character builds etc), currently playing through again. Taking a break from it after that now Total War:Shogun 2 is out, but I'll certainly go back to it again later.

I played through DAO three times I think, and started/got a long way through a couple more times.

I just finished my firs time through DA2, and I will play again, but not for a while. Probably after I've exhausted myself on Shogun 2, and then after the Witcher 2.

Considering it took me 4 days to beat DA2 (ended at around 45 hours) The task of replaying seemed daunting, in the case of DA:O I beat it in like...25 hours because I skipped a lot of side quests (did not do that with DA2) So I replayed immediately when I didnt get the Get 75% of content achievement. With DA2 I did everything...so I will replay when I feel the need to tackle those hours again...

But the drive to replay is about equal for both games.


Plus with arrival being released in a few weeks my next replay will be with ME2

DA:O: 1 Complete play through, made it halfway through a second play through, played all origin stories
DA 2 : Still on my first, but I think DA2 is more easier since the choices effect the game itself much more and it's also much shorter

Well having finished DA2 I can say there is no real reason to play it a second time. Unless you really love the combat but I hated every torturous second of it so once is more than enough for me.

I played Origins to death though, that was a really great game.

I'll have an order of what he's having. 

I spent forty hours on my first play-through... And couldn't finish. By Act 3, I was forcing myself to keep going, and then I started running into bugs galore. I finally had one cutscene that was supposed to play after I had completed a quest play before I even had the option of starting the quest... And I just lost it. I didn't care about the plot, the only mildly interesting villain was dead, the stories were too disjointed for me to care... I loved the companions, but banter and side-missions can only get a guy so far. 

I put it down a week ago, and I haven't been able to pick it back up since.

DAO - Finished only once with a mage, I can't bring myself to move beyond Ostagar every other time I tried (which is about 8 times). Actually, now I'm wondering how I actually finished that game...

DA2 - Finished once as a mage, I'm doing a rogue playthrough right now with an all female party and I'm planing a Warrior playthrough. After that, DXHR will probably be release so I will be playing that instead.

Played through DAO 4 times.

Finished DA2 today and boy did I have to force myself in Act 3. It was so tedious and repetitive.
I plan to go back to DAO, and then I will probably replay DA2 once in a few months with the opposite gender. I am far from certain I will be able to finish it though. Having to go through the same freaking caves and warehouses all over again is depressing.

DA2's biggest replay value for me was making me want to get it over and done with so I could roll another character and play DA:O again.
