Only played 40 hours of DA2, and decided to uninstall it today, just don't see a lot of re-playability in it. I always felt satisfied with myself after each battle in DA:O, in DA2, each battle, feels like a drag.

About 300 hours in DA:O Vanilla (No DLC, except for Warden Keep, and the Stone Prisoner), and that includes 1 complete playthrough of Awakening. Starting a new playthrough of DA:O with a Roguish Dwarven commoner ... and I am in love with the DA:O rogue

DA:O - 7 playthoughs. Can definitely see myself going back to it.
DA2 - 3 playthroughs. Possibly one more planned playthrough.
Course, ALL my DA2 playthroughs were still lower than my first DA:O playthrough (around 90 hours) so that says something. I wasn't even rushing through DA2 either. We'll see how robust the post-release content is since that will decide on further playthroughs with DA2.

Oh I lost track long ago of the number of DA:O playthroughs I had. I know certainly that I played a couple of the same characters through at least twice each, and played (both) Human Nobles to completion, as well as the Dalish and Mage Elves. I had also started the others but never found the time to finish.
For DA2, like others I've had trouble getting further than two. I played a Male Warrior for the first, then a female Mage the second, and the differences in character atmosphere and play style kept it interesting. However, trying to play a rogue of either gender is getting nowhere, and I'm even having difficulty playing through the two I actually finished again.
In my own mind, I believe it's the more rigid quest structure that is putting me off. I'm not saying it's just DA2, I felt the same thing after a couple of playthroughs of The Witcher and one of Jade Empire. KotOR and KotOR 2 however I also played through many times.

I played DA:O 4-5 times, but mainly opting my main character to carry over to DA:2... DA:O has a far too monotone story. Big parts of it are just long dungeon crawls with little to no story at all.
I will replay DA:2 now with a female warrior after finishing it a with a male mage. I like the story a lot more, but the gameplay is pretty much bad. Those forced overly redundant and absolutely senseless fights with thugs make it a pretty boring experience, but I like the story enough to replay it to see a different ending... something where DA:O disappointed me a lot. Those Origins were pretty much the only big difference between the playthroughs and they had little to no impact to the game.
Biggest disapointment with DA:2:
Battles. So freaking boring that I reduce the difficutly to easy just to be done with it. While at DA:O I really enjoyed them and had a nice tactic configuration for my party on nightmare, I feel no interest or motivation at all to do the same with DA:2.

DA: O - Once, but playing again now. I got all the DLC to my disposal so I expect I will be very busy.
DA2 - Played once had to force myself even, never playing it again. I uninstalled the game in fact.

Well let's see, I played DA:O once per race/class/sex combination. DA2 I played as a Warrior Male. And a Mage Female. And it was HORRID going through DA2 the second time. I'm actually about to buy DA:O through steam(again! it'll be my.. 3rd copy!) because I'm gifting it to my girlfriend who already own's it on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. I just feel DA2 is terribad due to the lack of attachment to any of the characters in the game (Except a certain Saarebas) and the OVER used area's.

DA:O - 10+ times
DA2 - Really trying very hard to finish a second playthrough...its actually feeling like a MMO grind.

How many times did you replay DAO? 2 times
How many times have you replayed or are planning to replay DA2? I'm on my 2nd playthrough and I'm not even tired of it yet.

I was more tempted to replay DA2, but it was because it seemed so short compared to DA:O. Part of it was because I realized that I was really starting to like my character by the middle of Act 2, so I wanted to soak into more of DA2's enviroment, because I thought it was cut too short by the end of Act 3. Of course, I started a second playthrough of the game, and then I just felt like I had played certain parts of the game 10 times already because of all of the recycled areas. DA:O wins in replayability.

Origins/Awakening played 3 times.
Still struggling through my first play through for DA2, I'll get through it but that's it, I'm already sick of seeing the same sights so I'm hardly going to want to go through it all again.

...I enjoyed Dragon Age 2 very muchly. So make no mistake...I did enjoy it...liked it...was great...
..I also liked another game like this (although not enjoyed as much)...that was Rise of the Argonauts..
Replayability for both these games...two maybe three times tops...Although for Dragon Age..I made a post save with the mages..and then reloaded before reading the last letter..and made post save with the templars..
That will probably be the only two I'll carry over...unless I don't spend the remainder of the time between now and DA3 playing through the ME series...

DAO - around 8 times so far. Still haven't done any dwarf or dalish runs
Most my runs are human noble origin. And two mage ones.
DA2 - 2 times. Very dissapointed my first playthrough. Was hoping it would be better second time around with some different choices, but it just made me even more dissapointed.

I replayed Origins more times than any other game. I had 3 or 4 playthroughs done within the first 30 days of getting the game. I started a second playthrough for Dragon Age II yesterday but haven't got the same feeling as I did with origins.

Posté 20 mars 2011 - 11:21
I honestly never replayed Origins, in fact the first time I beat it was about a month ago. I have too many games backlogged to replay it much more than that, and the same will probably be true with DA2. My next project after my first DA2 playthrough will be The Witcher, hope to have it done before The Witcher 2 comes out.

I'm finding DA2 just as replayable. Maybe more, actually. I found parts of DA:O to be very very tedious on replays... Ostagar and the Fade stand out the most.
I don't have that feeling in any areas of DA2 yet.

I'd say Origins. That said however, wanting to see what changes in DA2 makes more replayable upon taking differents paths in DA2 much like ME1 and ME2
Edit
DAO - 4 runs working on a 5 and 6th
DAA - 2 runs
DA2 - 1 run and working on a 2nd and 3rd (2nd up to Act 2 waiting for patch)
Hey I like to play multiple playthroughs simultaneously.

DAO: Every origin, twice for Human Noble. So seven. Six full runs with Awakenings and DLC, since my Dalish elf did a Ultimate Sacrifice and I never got around to doing a Orlesian Warden run.
DA2: On my third play through now. I'm planning a second mage and probably a second rogue. So probably five.

ok.. Dragon Age Origins = apples
and .. Dragon Age 2 = oranges
The point of this is they are two very different stories with two very different point of views. The replay value of Origins honestly cannot be compared to that of 2. As completly seperate entities ( which they are ) they both have in my opinion very high replay value each with its own reasons .

DA:O - 5 times with no dlc's. 6 times with all dlc's. All on xbox360. I plan on getting the pc next week when I finish building my new one.
DA2 - I'll force myself to finish it once then maybe play again when patches are out.

DA2 seems more replayable just because DA:O has so much to it and just the feeling I get when I created who I was in DA:O. I could replay DA:O but I have to take big breaks inbetween, like with Mass Effect. 
It's just because there is so much to it. .-.

DA:O Finished 3 with all DLC including Awakening, another 4 times without DLC (Awakening, Golems, Witch Hunt), currently plan on playing once more through all of it including DLC
DA2 Finished second run, started third, probably going to play a fourth and be done with it until more DLC comes out.
