I have been playing DA2 since it came out.  I still have not finished my first play through.  I guess I am slow LOL.  But...that is what I love about it...it reminds me of BG2...which was the game that got me into PC gaming.  Developers...producers...fine job.  I LOVE it.

Well, finish the game and then let us know how it was.
It can't be that immersive (or brilliant as you put it) if you still haven't finished it after all this time?
Now I'm not saying it's a bad game, I'm on my 4th playthrough and I'm loving it.
What I am saying is that your opinion doesn't carry that much weight not having managed a single playthrough...

What do you want I say? I really enjoy with DAO, performing all options for several months. I was awaiting DA2 as a man on the desert prays for water! I'd been anchored, loyal, faithfully... I've given a chance and played it, at least, 6 times, to explore differents Hawke's stories... And today I've bought TW2 (4 years awaiting with same expectation for DA2) and... well... no words... I begin asking myself if I'll have been not fooled by EA marketing... as so many fools...

And DA2 10€ more expensive!!!!!

On a technical level, improved some parts more than others.
On an Artistic level its like comparing 'The story of the eye' by Georges Bataille to Penthouse letters page.

I'm not sure what your errr...analogy means, but it has to be said that on an artistic level DA2 is WAY BETTER than Origins.

agreed , Da2 was good but DAO was excellent . Hopefully DA3 will take the best of both.

@OP i agree with you, i play on the xbox and it is one of my favorite games, yes its got flaws but i consistantly find it far more charming than DA:O its jam packed with moments that make me smile.

At 2007 I was quite surprise wiht graphic levels of The Witcher; TW2 for me, at the moment is great: ligths, environaments, scenarios, details... about the story line, I'm already at the begining!!  I haven't met any Geralt's friend yet, so my opinions about the evolution of companions is null for the moment. I'm optimistic.
Anyway, it looks what it must to be: better that the first, as second part has to be! (and unfortunately in most games almost never are).

If you liked TW you'll probably enjoy this TW2.

Will I be banned by saying all thats thinks here? I still love DA!

[Nerdage]

Personally I'd reserve "brilliant" for games that don't have any problems, or -- more realistically -- games that hide their shortcomings so well they you don't notice them, which, while both are really good, hasn't been either DA so far (I'm not going to mention BG because I think I talk about it too much already (except I am mentioning it, really, because it's awesome and worth it!)).

Not that I'm arguing with your opinion, OP, glad you liked it, just giving my opinion.

Brilliant really? Personally thought it could of been much better than it was- aside from the painfully obvious bugs and hang-ups like broken quests, not to mention other technicalities already littered everywhere on the forums (so no needing to go into detail). Ah- but I will simply say I enjoyed the game despite my disappointments and glad you enjoyed it as well.

I still have yet to hear anyone who prefers DA2 explain exactly what DA2 does that, on balance, improves the gameplay experience.

Well, at least so far there are many gamers who generally agree that this game is quite good. That's true. Although it is not so great and unfortunately, cannot become a GOTY, but this game deserves a praise. Not condemning its cons but to praise its advance from the DA:O. It provides us a new kind of experience, true. Say it is brilliant, I feel a little difficult to say agree, but if you say it quite good, I strongly agree!!!

So I take you've moved on to playing something that isn't DAII then?

[CoS Sarah Jinstar]

Did the OP just seriously compare DAII to BG? Seriously? This has to be a troll post.

[blauterranit]

I'm not saying is not good but just simply is not so good as they sold us... too much expectation for find the same locations, same textures of scenarios, places and buildings. I remember how Bioware were (and still do at Its web) explaining with concept-art images these locations as awsomes: Lowtown, Gallows, Hightown, DeepRoads...

"Discover a whole realm rendered in stunning detail with updated graphics and a new visual style." they say!!

and once you arrive to Kirkwall you feel... fooled! The interiors have the same decoration, furniture, vasses, paintings, carpets, seats... OOOHHH!!! its a nightmare!!!!
I enjoy Hawke's history, the companion's dialogues and rivalities, combos, etc, etc... but... I don't kown if I explain myself clearly... the damned scenarios....

Glad that you liked it, though calling it brilliant is as redundant as calling it trash, it's not a bad game, it's not a great game either, it's quite.. mediocre.

I only can say the concept of the game is brilliant, 10 years's spam for a single game is quite challenging to make, but the game itself is just ok, did not deliver its promise

Personally: removing the sustained ability effects made it alot nicer to look at and let it run an awful lot better on my computer, not to mention it makes a lot more sense; for all the "Button Awesomz!" and " 'splosions" talk that goes on here, the fact that when I tell a character to do something they actually do it is a massive improvement, as opposed to watching that guy go for my mage for a bit, swiveling on the spot, then moving to attack them, they'll actually intercept them; my character being able to show emotion, partly through dominant personality but mainly by simply having a voice, meant they felt more like a real character and not an inanimate, person-shaped camera I was watching the story through.

There are some of my reasons. I bet you disagree with all of them, but I like DA2 and you (I assume) don't, so why would we agree? If you agreed with me then one of us would have to change our opinions, not likely to happen.

Also, there are areas where I prefered DAO too, I know this, personally I think both games come out about equal in the end, I can't clearly put one above the other anyway. Again, that's my opinion, I'm not saying one game is better than the other, just talking about my experiences with them.

I agree!

"Discover a whole realm rendered in stunning detail with updated graphics and a new visual style." the say at its web!
You see its concept art images and you believe this will be a great world.... then it is happen: you arrive to Kirkwall with your family and you begin to find the same interiors, same furnitures, same trees, same lands, same doors, so you finally can't recognize the place or building where you are cause it is exactly  the copy of the one you where before! (even I'm repeating myself!!!, It's contagious!
Anyway, I realize that if DA2 seems a really good game is because the Hawke's story is well designed despite criticism. If not, it would be impossible to play. Or just re-played as I've done.
