Perhaps this is why such a large part of the community is so unhappy? Change is never pleasant...however, DA2 is indeed very pleasant!

It would be pleasant if they bothered to make a full game not half a game with recycled maps, no real decisions, pointless side quests, huge plot holes and really really bad companions.
Yeah, one could call DAO that.....
Wait, you meant DAII?
Yes, one could call DAII that too.

You stole the words out of my mouth!

Purists might argue those are not proper RPG's anyway so they do not matter. Then again purists have thick books with rules and tables and dice
I dont feel it matters what you call a game as long as its fun and absorbing. I'll happily play Guild Wars one week and Civ the next.

I kind of missed the part in DA2 where the reviewer says that Hawke saves the world...

Indeed, Hawke CHANGES the world. The reviewer did get that slightly wrong. He should be banished!

No, he sits idly by and watches the world change. Just because he was present and the other catalysts for the entire mage templar ordeal are dead does not make him some kind of world changing champion. He is just a tool good at fighting that happened to fight the right guys at the right moments.

Except DA:O and DA2 couldn't be further apart in points i described not that I liked DA:O that much either.

Even if you like the changes , DA2 is still a substandard game.Dragged up only by higher than average production values.
I'm very interested to see Obsidians take on Dungeon Siege III. For a hack and slash it's got some some solid story and RP elements.
