I've certainly seen a fair amount of feedback that says, "I couldn't play Origins, I thought it was too slow, the story was too plodding, too typical, and Dragon Age II is awesome by comparison!"
I forgot the kubler-ross model...what comes after denial?

Did you guys miss where the developers took statistics on the amount of people that started DA:O and didn't finish it?
They were clear from the start that this bothered them and they wanted to make a less intimidating game to people who aren't familiar/used to RPG's.
I don't get how people can say "Man I couldn't even finish DA2 because it was so bad/I didn't like it/it wasn't Origins" etc....but then in the next thread..."Man anyone who couldn't finish origins must be a dumb console-playing mouther breathing retard."
Who the hell can say in straight face DA was intimidating. Or if average "gamer" can say so, then I really don't know what to say. I have a picture though. A picture of big baby being spoonfed.
Example:
Me (a motorcyle enthusiast) : Man who can say riding a motorcyle is intimidating? You just ride it like a bike but use the throttle and clutch and have to shift gears.
A person who was never even ridden a bike: Uhhhh
To a person that has not ever played anything similar to an RPG (I.E. Someone who has only played a game like God of War where you simply have to press buttons in succession to execute combos and go through the linear levels) introducing them to system of attributes, talents, inventory, party management, crafting, skills, yes...will be intimidating for most. Its not that they are dumb (just as someone who has never ridden a bike before isn't dumb) its just that they are limited in their experience.
So please. Get off your RPG high horse. You are no more intelligent for playing RPG's than Joe Console is for playing God of War.
Hahahahaha, I am certainly more intelligent than you. There is no doubts of that. First practical proof of is that I would had never done so freakingly stupid analogy like you did.
You can't ever compare motorcycles and RPGs in intimidating factor. If you drive a motorcycle it is real thing and serious stuff and you can kill yourself with it or break the bike causing financial losses. There is tons of power available (depending of the bike) with just a little twist of wrist - suddenly you have 150 horses in front of you pulling you forward.
In video game you have no threats to your safety.
Those two things are not comparable in any level.
Motorcyclist for life here (and been that before you were even born).
