So its been over a month since most of us have finished the game and I would love to know how people feel now that time has passed.

Has DA2 grown fonder in your mind or does the memory of it hurt more with each passing day?

[Dragoonlordz]

My opinion hasn't changed much, just like the Kirkwall in a decade (joke)... In the end my review and my opinion isn't based on pure vile hatred of the game and the review was done fairly but my opinion hasn't changed because the simple fact neither has the game. Opinions only really change when you act out of rage to begin, however I have noticed people who once praised the game and defended it constantly have switched and changed opinions after multiple playthroughs just like vice versa for some.

It's never been a "bad" game. First playthrough felt as if it was lacking. My second felt much better now that I knew what to expect. I'd say it's grown on me. Anyone who says its a purely terrible game is either talking by Bioware standards or is still raging because they're so disappointed.

[Mightyg]

Still disappointed, but I did have a chance to enjoy the parts they did do right. By no means a terrible game, just disappointing, especially when you can feel the potential in it.

[Thetri]

The game grows fonder in my mind. After beating it twice now, I am constantly thinking about what would happen if I do this or I do that. Also it has gotten me to go back and playthrough Origins and Awakening again so I can see what effects my choices will make in DA2. I tried being Loghain in DA2 recently and made my appearance and personality like his. I actually felt bad for being mean to Merrill and for what happened Anders.

[MorrigansLove]

Loads of people have left due to the disappointment and just want to forget about Dragon Age. Not me, though, no sir...

[ppitchfork]

i've forgotten a lot of it, actually. i just remember the main story points. and isabella's chin piercing.

[Kilshrek]

Can't say I love it or loathe it any more than I previously did. My disappointment grows slowly however, that so much potential was squandered by rushing the game. The environments could have been more varied. The story could have been meatier (and actual choices included), quests could have been more than just pick up random item in dungeon and hand off to X for 50 silver. Companions could have been chattier with Hawke, instead of chattier with everyone but. Combat could have been more than just "Another wave!".

Oh, but what could be.

[tanerb123]

already forgot it. cant really look at that cave one more time. witcher 2 is coming next week and skyrim after that, dragon age 2 will not be executed in my machine for a long time.

[Realmzmaster]

I was fond in the beginning and I am still fond of it now.

[Fallstar]

The irritation has passed a bit, now I'm playing Origins again, and am now super-excited for the New Vegas dlcs, the Lonesome Road in particular. I'm ignoring DA:2 at the minute, when they release some story dlc however, I'm going to buy the item packs and do another playthrough. But until then, my thoughts on DA:2 are pretty, well, OK.

I just finished my 2nd playthrough, so maybe I am not far enough out. But just like game itself...the good things (characters, battle animations, skill trees, good parts of the story) are growing more fond in my mind. The things I found immersion breaking, or meh don't hurt more. But what does hurt more is seeing the epic potential that the story (yes I loved the concept) and the game itself and knowing what could have been.

And no it is not a horrible, terrible game by any stretch. It is just meh.

Okay I have to switch, after writing what could have been, and reading what could have been by Kilshrek, it does hurt more.  DAMMIT!!! I guess I'm not as over it as I thought.

Opinion hasn't changed. Haven't played it since the 2nd week it came out. Been playing Divinty II: EKS, The Witcher, STALKER: CoP, and some Planescape: Torment.

This. Except i'm still kinda butthhurt over the bad stuff.

*HUG* Yeah, I am still too, after posting this.

[neppakyo]

Oh, forgot to add DA:O on my list too >.<

And my butt hurt is mainly due to taco bell.

I played through it 3 times.

First time the lackings bothered me, but the novelty factor kept me in it.
Second time I wanted to do something different with my sister (spoiled) and not help Anders. No changes.
Third time I was really annoyed with the whole thing but wanted to see the mages ending and try out the mage class. No changes if you sided with templars.

I went back to it a couple of weeks after it, and thought, okay not SO bad, maybe I overreacted.
Then I couldn't get past Act 1, FedEx quests, repeated areas killed it.

Then I played Origins again. For the 10th time. And I swear I saw some new stuff and took some new routes to get to the end.
It felt real, visceral and gritty and (to me it looked like) it was a game done with passion and love and amazing attention to detail.

After that, just playing the intro on DA2 seemed like a big fat joke.
The "AWESOMENESS" killed it. Without even getting deeper into it (beaten to death on these forums).

My like of my DA2 "pros" stayed the same.
My dislike of my "cons" immensely increased.

I don't think I'll be playing it again, unless a complete makeover happens.

(for reference, I play ANY good games on and off to repeat them... From RPGs like BG series, PST or Origins, and half shooter/half RPGs like ME/ME2, to Interactive movies like Uncharted 1 and 2 and strategies like Total War, WC3 etc, etc.
I don't think I'll be playing DA2 again cos IMO it's just not a good game. In any genre.
Sadly, once the novelty wore off, all I saw was a bad game.
And by BW standards, a horrible one.)

Honestly, the RPG experience DA2 gave me was more akin to WoW and Rift (not even the original Everquest) than a quality single-player RPG.
And if Witcher 2 can deliver, even with a fixed character, IMO that's just another notch to games done with dedication and passion (like Origins was IMO).

Same games i've been playing. Except for Divinity 2 and STALKER. BTW, nepp, are you looking forward to Deus Ex: Human Revolution and The Witcher 2?

Yes I am, I haven't played Deus Ex since the original.

Quite looking forward to TW2!

I too love to replay games I enjoyed, over and over ( I read fav books over and over too).  Funny how you mentioned it felt like playing WoW. I thought I was the only one who got that feeling. Glad I am not alone.

[Odysseyalien]

I'm fond of the game and I've had two playthroughs, back to back. Waiting for the next patch before I play a third time.

I've never played WoW so I can't compare. I played DA:O at least four or five times through and enjoyed it as well.

DA2 stands on it's own merits.

[Zanallen]

I played the game and enjoyed it. I still enjoy it. I'm not going to talk about number of playthroughs because I rarely play through a game more than once and people who say they played DA:O five or ten full playthroughs frankly baffle me.

The positive:

-The characters were excellent.
- The over arching story was pretty damn good.
- The graphics were pretty nice.
- Some of the combat tweaks were good, such as how sustained abilities now work.
- Crafting is much, much better with the new system.
- The dialogue and party banter was fantastic.

The Negative:

- The lack of decisions, or decisions that actually had consequences was appalling, especially considering the advertisement to suggest they would actually make a difference.
- I don't appreciate being treated like a moron; having "Talk to X companion" as a quest, and being the only way to actually talk to them is unbelievably stupid.
- The finale (last hour) was extremely disappointing, largely due to my first negative point.
- Wave combat is dull, repetitive, and in most cases, nonsensical.
- Re-used levels are acceptable to a degree, but not the extent which they did with this game.
- If you give the game a voiced character in an RPG, then never have them utter a word the player doesn't make them say, it kills immersion and realism.
- The amount of bugs was unacceptable for a release and especially for a Triple A game.

Overall it's an enjoyable game, but it changed too much that didn't need changing, treated the players like idiots, and was falsely adverstised in several areas.

I have played it twice, was going through it a third time to finish off the previously bugged achievements and recieved a corrupted save file and have not touched it since, and don't have much desire to, it pissed me off too much.
