 I enjoyed the game as well in the first two days, but after reaching Act 2 and the repetition started to kick in I can't find any motivation to continue. On top of that it seems that after Act 2 there is nothing new to see, and the story begins to fall short in Act 3 and that's dissapointing. 

I don't understand how you can make a value judgment about Act 3 if you haven't proceeded beyond Act 2. If you're basing your opinion on other people's feedback, I would urge you to play through the game yourself, as you might have different opinions once you've experienced the content directly. Even if your opinion doesn't change though, at least you will know it's based on your own direct experiences.

The repetitive environments were a disappointment for me as well as for many other players, but I am enjoying enough of the other aspects of the game that I'm not focusing on that particular design decision. It's understandable if that consideration is more disappointing to others though, as we all focus on different aspects of the game. If level design and exploration is one of the primary avenues of enjoyment from a game, Dragon Age 2 would be particularly disappointing.

Well the game just stopped being fun for me at that point, and it was not just the repetitive environments, but also the fights themselves, which became to feel more like chores than fun. In Origins I would always look forward to each fighting encounter. I don't know why, the feeling is just not the same in DA2. 

My character was also affected by the maker's sigh bug, where I would end up (unintentionally) having enough points to have all specializations and extra spells (by act 2). While some might be happy with the extra spells, it made the game less fun for me.

I didn't continue because It stopped being fun, and already felt dissapointed, and didn't want to feel even more dissapointed after finishing it. But as I said, similar to the OP, I did found the game fun and enjoyable through the first Act. I'm normaly not affected by others opinions, hell I even bought the game after all the negative user reviews. But sometimes, it's good to consider other's opinions though, not taking those reviews seriously cost me $60.

I just picked up DA2 a couple of days ago and I'm loving it. I love the combat change, so far I'm loving the character interactions, the banter, the dialogue, no more awkward-PC-Stare... I am, honestly, enjoying it more than DA:O.

So, here's one happy Bioware fanboy. Thanks for the great game, guys!

Good that someone likes it. It  almost makes me depressed, because I liked DA:O so much, and was so excited when I heard about the sequel. Alas, for me it went through boring DLC and a mediocre expansion to an absolutely appaling "sequel".

But if you liked it, at least someone is happy.

DA2 satisifed me, and alot of others.

What was the point of either us posting either of those sentences?

Well, it depends highly on your deffinition of the word "alot" and whether your gangs are going to meet afterwards in the city park around midnight for a rumble like the Jets and Sharks of A Westside Story.

[Paraxial]

Wait you're telling me there are people who love the game and people who hate it too?

Wow.

OMG! You're right! What's the point of anyone even voicing their opinions at all?! In fact, maybe Bioware should get rid of these forums, because obviously giving personal opinions is not what it's for.

[Ballaorf]

Eh, I just wanted to let the devs know that I'm continuing to enjoy their work. I have been a Bioware fan since high school. I call myself a "fanboy," but I don't know if I really qualify - I haven't played every Bioware game, but I have played (and enjoyed) a lot of them.

I'm sorry so many people don't enjoy the game, but I'm more sorry that so many people feel the need to be so harsh in their communication. It's okay not to like something, but remember that devs and other forum denizens are people. Has Bioware ever been the kind of studio to just pump out games to get money? I think, instead, they make games because they're passionate - admirable.

If I had to complain about Bioware, I could: Why the heck did I have to kill Ajantis in BG2?!? He was one of my favorite characters!! Yeah, I'm still not over it.

You SHOULD be sorry.

If the next DA game is as much a pile of **** as this one, people like you are at fault.

Your not stupid for loving the game....everyone has there own opinion.....maybe you just havent been gaming long...or you only play a few games.....in all honesty? The story was great.....but it lacked on so many levels....as a huge gamer....I was almost as disapointed with this as I was in Fall out new vegas. they took all the best parts from DAO .....and thats it....they took everything out and just made a quick easy cheap game.....nothing to it...linear story, no interaction....less objects to collect...and so on.....companies do that....they rush and don't care how many mistakes they made....

Where's the moderates? The people that see big flaws in the game but don't mindlessly bash it as if it would cause The Second Coming of Christ.

Right here. DA2 sucks. Somewhat more than Origins. But not that much.

I can't say that I am enjoying DA2 more than DA:O, but I do really like this game. I'd give it a 8.5 out of a 10.  The combat pace is much quicker- which I like. I love the fully voiced PC, but the dialogue wheel needs to be finessed a bit more. I absolutely love all the characters and the framed narrative was a great idea. The graphics and art were wonderful and I loved the background music. The more I play, the more it grows on me.

 I can, however, understand how so many people are disappointed with DA2... I was bit disappointed at first. For some reason I expected... something more. I expected DA2 to completely blow me away and bring my gaming experience to a higher level then even DA:O did... sadly that wasn't the case. Maybe I had too great of an expectation... maybe I felt that BioWare was capable of greater things then DA:O.... and that DA2 would truly be that perfect "10" game.

I truly hope that in the future the "powers that be" give BioWare and the DA dev team all the time and money that they need, in order for them to create that "10" game that we are all waiting for. I have all the faith in the world that they can indeed do this- if they are given the free reign and support that they need.

meh, a lot of games can use improvements, what we can all agree on is that DA2 is an 8/10 or 7/10 game which isn't bad, there's a lot of decent/good games that are in that range that become underrated over time - ie: Cryostasis has a rating of 6/10 on metacritic but i think it's better than Dead Space 1 and 2

Another moderate here.

We're all in the off topic forum. We let the crazies have their fun here.

[X-Frame]

DA2 has it's flaws, some rather obvious ones too. Still, I think it's a better game than Origins as well.

R00fles!

[Ryllen Laerth Kriel]

Are you impersonating Scoobie Doo asking for waffles? I'm sorry, there are no R00fles.

[Envor44]

I like it too, and DA2 is step forward as backward in the same time, combat are great but a lot less tactical while the main story lacks of focused and drive. You rather feel like it's rushed(re-used map etc.), as far as i know there's no epic feelings like Origins at all. In my opinion DA2 is great it's just not nearly as epic as Origins.

By the way fanboy, hater, both side have unreasonable morons.

Personally I loved DA2, and have started up a third character to play through it. It has it's faults, the repetetive dungeons for instance, but I loved the rest and I can't wait for more DLC to be released.

Please, don't apologize! I don't like it, but I am very happy for people who do.:happy:

I am somewhat happy for people who enjoy it, but sad at the same time. It means the trend will be for more sub-par games.

Same here, my friend. *sigh*

neppakyo:

Are you insinuating that your taste is better because you like good games, whereas people who like DA2 like "sub-par" games?

I curious as to whether you'd actually make such a ridiculous argument.

neppakyo never said anything about her tastes being better than anyone elses.  She simply stated that the overwhelming majority of gamers know DA2 is a mediocre game and it's important to state our dissatisfaction with it here otherwise only the few who liked it would be posting here and Bioware would think they made a great game because they'd only be hearing positive feedback.

I curious why you make argument about noting.  You read?
