I've played through DA:O at least a half-dozen times, and am currently on yet another playthrough. Somehow it still is enjoyable despite the fact that I know the story by heart.

I strugged to finish DA2 even once; the High Dragon fight made me quit in disgust and I didn't touch the game for nearly a week afterwards. I then began a second playthrough as a mage, hoping the experience would be different. It wasn't. Since then I haven't touched DA2, and feel less than no desire to do so again. Legacy piqued my interest a little, but I'm really not in any mood to purchase it, since at this point spending any more money on DA2 feels like throwing good money after bad.

Neither. Replaying games is for losers.

there are not enough facepalms in the world for how stupid this comment is.

Agreed.  'Nuff said.

You play it once, you experience the story and then you move on to something new. Maybe a few months down the line if there is nothing else to do you'll revisit it. It is silly to replay the same game back to back just like it is silly to read the same book over and over again or watch the same movie multiple times.

Obviously a lot of people don't agree with you. BW designers don't agree with you either. So don't generalize it like you do in your post. The one who is looking silly now is you.

Not to mention that, by not replaying some awesome games and many times at that, there will be enough never seen stuff to put that "losers" statement right on the other way around! There are enough "how do you get that scene" comments on my vids to confirm it and those from gamers who do replayed Origins a lot. Still possible to miss some stuff.

I think I posted earlier my replays of Origins and DA2. Something around 20x5. Now, another thing I'd like to mention is the speed. I'm on my 15th playthrough with The Witcher 2 and well it is amazing. As much as Origins and ME2, imho. Way way above DA2. Totally different league those 3 games.

I can walk instead of running, in Origins and TW2, even after many replays and it gives me great satisfaction. I would too with ME2 in some places but the walking in ME2 is waaaaaay too slow to be viable. DA2? I'd kill for some boots of haste to run through it even faster and finish it asap. Well, if I were to replay it again which is not happening so soon.

DA:O - Don't know how many times I've played through it. From start to finish, maybe 3? Most of my time has been spent modding it. I have no clue how people are coming up with 5-10 or even more. I simply haven't the time for that.

DA2 - Once. Struggled to finish it. Gave it some time then started a second playthrough, and got about halfway. That was about 4 months ago, haven't touched it since.

There is no doubt in my mind that DA:O is the vastly more replayable game. See the review in my sig if you'd like to know why.

I plyed Dragon Age Origin about 8 times on PC... and in addition... I palyed all te origins... but did not play all of then to the end.

Then I later bought the Ultimate Edition for PS3 and played it half a dozen times more.

That is how much I loved Origin. I bought it twice and spent wayyyy to much time in that world.

For DA2... I played it as a Rogue.... and a Mage.... and I am trying to replay it as a Warrior.... but I am barely level 7 and I am having a hard time to keep playing.

Although.... I will probably restart a new game with a new Rogue. The Rogue is by far the most fun to play. I wish I could keep on playing with my level 24 Rogue.... but not an option.

Why not put a HoF mode so that we can keep on playing with our endgame character??

[Dariuszp]

Oh this is simple.
ORIGINS: playing 4 times (so 3 more runs)
DA 2: I barely finished one (no more)

Dragon Age Origins for me has so much re-playability. I always enjoy playing through, Dragon Age Origins, because it is just a great game.

However, I have no desire to re-play Dragon Age 2 again. I say this due to the fact that Dragon Age 2 is simply not as good as Dragon Age Origins and no amount of Dragon Age 2 DLC can fix all the issues in the main game of Dragon Age 2.

[Malistix]

DA:O had a lot of diferent dialoque because of your origin, it also had a lot more variaty in classes and races. The replay value of trying each "origin" alone was engaging.

DA2 feels like a good game in act1 and gets repetetive in act 2 and 3 because it has the same feeling. DA:O alsways felt more unique and theres more to explore.

I would say u could play DA:O at least 3 times and still find loads of new stuff.
You cans play DA2 once withoud finding loads of the same stuff
still playing a melee and mage character is cool, because DA2 has a great combat system.

SO : DA1 = 3 times (for me) DA2 = 2 times (for me)

[SilentK]

DA:O 2 complete wardens

DA2 3 complete Hawkes and working on the 4:th atm

For me it's much easier to get into DA2 again =)

[barenas]

You would think that Origins would have more replay value but oddly I've played DA2 a heck more than Origins. It might be because I enjoy the combat more in the sequel.

[Sith Grey Warden]

DA:O 5 complete playthroughs (the 6th and 7th have each completed 1 or 2 of the main quests and I am currently playing it). I wanted to play through using each origin, except I did the Magi origin twice (once with a human once with an elf) as I wanted to explore the different options for mage builds (which failed as my mages ended up built very similarly). My 7th is a second city elf, so I'll have to do an eighth at some point with the Dwarf Noble.

DA2 2 complete playthroughs (I want to push myself to get a 3rd past Act I so I can do Legacy with a Templar Carver, but that's it). Once as a mage, once as a warrior. There's no point in playing through as a rogue as it's the same story as with a warrior.

[phil11113]

I have completed DA:O 3 times but I probably won't replay it again. I have completed DA 2 4 times and have started my fifth playthrough. So I have found DA2 to be more replayable.

[badidi71]

DA:O
2 human nobles (male & female); complete
1 female dwarf commoner; complete
1 female dwarf noble; complete
1 human female mage; complete
1 female city elf; complete
1 female dalish elf; only completed the origin portion (deleted the character later as I didn't like how she looked)
1 human male mage; incomplete (last file I was kinda working on before DA2 came out, but I was burnt out at that point)

DA2
2 female & 1 male mage; complete
2 male (2H) & 1 female warrior (S&S); complete
1 male (Arc)& 1 female rogue (DH); complete

I find DA2 more replayable because the battle system is just more fun for me, and I actually feel more attached to Hawke than the Warden. I think that's mostly due to to Hawke having a voice and making me feel like I actually am Hawke, whereas with the Warden I felt I was an outside force looking in. With that said, I'm already planning two more playthroughs of DA2, but having just finished my 8th just a couple days ago, I'm gonna take a little break first.

Orgins: Finished 3 playthroughs (Human noble, CE, Dalish) on my husband's stolen game and account before he got me the ultimate edition and I am busy starting one of each origin, plus a second mage as an elf. I will play and finish all of them.

DA2: 2 playthroughs. One rogue, one mage. I started my mage again (not at the very beginning, I couldn't slog through the running away from Lothering, much the way I suspect some couldn't do Ostagar again) because I wanted to do the DLC. I won't finish another play through. So it stands at 2 and a quarter.

DA2 was just too damn repetitive among other things.

A friend who doesn't come to the forums played DAO 27 times (mods, different endings). DA2, don't even know if she finished it. I think she did one full play through. Her cussing about DA2 didn't lead me to ask if she finished, I was too busy laughing at her reaction.

Edited to add to my DAO play through count, I played my noble through twice. So 4 playthroughs.

Virtually no replay value whatsoever in DA2 (or ME2, fwiw).

Taking away so many of our customization options (compared to the original titles) is one of the main problems. If I can't control what my characters look like, then I have a lot less incentive to start new characters. Bioware has never exactly made it easy to get the armor you want, but in these latest games my options are so few and far between that it feels like Bioware has already made most of my choices for me (not to mention that you can no longer control what any of your party members wear, unlike the good old days). Feels a lot less like an RPG when I have a lot less choice, and therefore the replay value for me goes out the window.

Oh yeah, and the plots for DA2 and ME2 were just downright awful, which certainly doesn't help replay value either...

times played (approximate):
KotOR: 20
JE: 10
ME: 20  - at this point I thought that Bioware could do no wrong... boy, was I in for a surprise!
DA: <5  - being excruciatingly long didn't help (Deep Roads anyone?), nor did the tedious inventory management
ME2: 1
DA2: 1

See a pattern here?

I can replay it more just to play Legacy with a different character. That's about it. Original game was a disaster.

[gingerbill]

while i think origins is a better game on the first playthrough i have somehow ended up playing DA2 more . I think because with DA2 you can vary your party more and theres more skills worth trying it means i can play it more.

[Quasit]

DA:O 2 Full playthroughs with PC and once with PS3. Hours played 200-300. Also played through every origins story. DA 2 Once and I've tried now for second time because of Legacy, but just cant be bothered to play after finishing Legacy. I'll try again in couple months if they are releasing decent DLC's or Expansion.

[R0vena]

About 12 times for Origins and so far 5 for DA2, but I think the end result will be about even.

[casedawgz]

Well, when I get to Ostagar I immediatly lose all will to continue DA:O, so DA2 for me.

[Wulfram]

About 10 complete playthroughs of Origins - lost most of my saves, so I might have forgotten one. 7 of DA2.

What she said, although I managed 3 playthroughs of DA2 as opposed to her one and my origins playthroughs are getting closeer to 10 than a half dozen. All 3 DA2 playthroughs with big breaks in between where Origins I sometimes would go right to the chracter creator from the previous character's epilouge screen with a different character concept and a different planned path through the game.   The last DA2 run was just after the big patch, and I found it marginally more enjoyable. 

I'd like to add that all the wonderful mods that the player community made for Origins really increased its replayability for me. Hell, if they released Origins DLC right now I'd consider buying it.  I hear Legacy is pretty good but I cringe at thinking about another playthrough of DA2 so I doubt I'll ever pick it up.

DAO about a dozen times.

DA2 i never actually got to finished act 3, since something else came along and DA2 never really won me over - dull & uninspiring what i felt. But i might reinstall and give it a go again since i got nothing planned in the next two weeks. Just need to find a crap load of mods that can help improve on it!. Any tips?.

[Icinix]

Re-installed DA2 to play Legacy.
Still can't manage to find the inspiration to push on play DA2 again.
So we're still at ONE playthrough, and I fear there we will remain.

[MAIDENHEAD 666]

DA2 just finished my 2nd playthrough including Legacy DLC. Still disappointing. Both times on Casual.
DAO 5 completions on Hard. About to start again on Nightmare with Rogue.
