While da2 was both a letdown and an epic (kind of, hawke did good n all that but the warden had epicness) i found the only questions in my mind were about the fade, and how little we saw in it.
   feynriels quest takes us into the templar/mage place n all you see when you look up is the exact same thing you see in the recycled cave. the one thing i loved in da:o was going into the fade and being able to see the black city no matter where you were, with the exception of the crypt in awakening. i loved seeing it throughout origins and was even more happy when you were within 'arms reach' of it awakening. but the one time i went into the fade in da2, i was left with a black ceiling. but after finishing the main quest, im wondering whether or not bioware meant to do this, a change in the fade would link to Feynriels abilities, but it could also link in with sandals prophecy, cant remember it exactly but didnt he say something about the dark disappearing, or clouds parting.

something a little bit off topic but kinda related: fate of the warden and morrigan.
    wasnt the witch hunt dlc supposed to set up da2. i got a bit confused, when we bring merrill back to kirkwall were shown the eluvian she brought with here from from the cave in the dalish origin in origins. but didnt we use that same eluvian to locate the one with morrigan outside it. so the timline for end of blight, end of awakening, and witch hunt conclusion is very short, but why then does alistair give me the impression that the warden left to do the WH dlc 6 years after the blights end? it just felt like a stupidly huge plothole, which should be expected from how quickly DA2 was made.

and some more rambling about the eluvian in da2:
    in particular merrills demon. marethari said that the demon wished to use it as a way out of its prison, and she also said that merrill would be its first victim, she didnt say the demon would possess her, but she also didnt say otherwise. in dao were tolkd how demons lust to get a glimpse of the mortal world, which would mean that the fade is like their prison, and maybe that statue is a way for this demon to communicate with people in a place where the veil is thin.
    but what i'd like to know more about is how demon possession works, do the demons need to be in the fade? because if this is true then its possible the eluvian is a doorway into the fade, rather than projecting ones conciousness it allows a mortal vessel to travel into the fade or a fully powered demon, with all the abilities they have in fade(e.g manipulation of the world around them) to come through into the mortal realm. which would hopefully mean our warden and morrigan, and old god child, are in the fade, and that a possible dlc for hawke would be a return to the fade, through the either merrills or another eluvian.
  im probably wrong but i think that would be an interesting idea, might explain why merrill thought she saw tamlen in the corner of her eye thatone time, maybe they passed over a thin spot in the veil.
  
  and now a question for you, did you expect to see more of the black city in da2, did u notice its absence, or dont you care at all?

i expect the black city to become really important in a DA game eventually. Just gotta wait patiently.

personally i think bioware will keep the black city a mystery, at least until the end of the series, because most of the lore and truth behind the events that have occurred are linked with the black city, so keeping it a mystery lets them keep the story open. i just miss the visual of a giant spire floating in a void...
