Wayyyy to many to choose from.
However, I feel this deserves a honorable mention:

hehe that is funny. I half expected Anders to cuff Hawke snottily in the back of the head. lol  I never selected that, bloody hell. 

Maybe he did tell Meredith.  Or maybe she offered him some Lyrium, they stayed up too late listening to bad music, and it was forgotten.  So hard to say, really.  

That was funny.

Wow, that's pretty epic, glad I never tried that..

Personally, if I can only pick one, my least favourite moment starts with saving Orsino's sorry skin and ends with a mound of walking flesh attacking me. I wish it turned back into Orsino afterwards so I could give him a proper slap before I murder-knife him.

Why doesn't Cullen warn Meredith about Anders' scheming against the chantry? Is The Champion not trustworthy enough, or something?

Because then they'd need a reason for Merrill to blow up the chantry? He's under Hawke's mage-plot umbrella, I guess. It sounded like he already knew Anders was up to something, but I guess we all know what a soft touch Cullen is on apostates..

I don't know. I like the game but there are plenty of things I'm not going to defend about it.

Word.  
There should have been the option to just leave Kirkwall with Varric.

And burn it to ground. Like we could do with Amaranthine. I mean c'mon! Kirkwall is infested with blood mages, necromancers, spider queens, dragons, rapists and such. Darkspawn are nothing in comparison.

I heard the residents were all undead lifeless, anyway.

I have 3 moments tied for least favourite, because they are all of the same theme - the time jumps from prologue to act 1, act 1 to act 2, and act 2 to act 3.

Hawke is my character. Essentially I am supposed to BE Hawke. Yet when these time jumps happened, there was suddenly a disconnect between the knowledge that Hawke possessed, and the knowledge that I possessed, regarding the events and characters during those missing years. For example, in act 1 a female NPC who sold potions or something greeted Hawke as if they knew each other. But I don't know her. I've never seen her before. It always took me some time to "catch up" to the point where I was back inside Hawke's head.

Oh boy, OP. You do realise the impossibility of answering a question like this? I mean, there's so much badness to choose from!
Seriously though; if you'd put a gun to my head and force me to spit out the scene where I had the strongest aversion to, then it would probably be Leandra's death scene. The mind boggled at how poorly done that was. I'm not even talking about the whole quest-chain (which wasn't exactly good in and of itself), but just the fact that mommy was turned into Frankenstein's moster to just have her deliver not-that-great-lines.
I don't konw whose bright idea that was, but congratulation! You ruined any emotional impact that scene could have had.

I have to agree with that, the game has some very bad moments, but there's nothing like turning a scene that was supposed to have emotinal impact into that ridiculous thing.
First, the camera reveals to soon what has happened to her, so all that tension that you have gathered thoughout the mission suddenly banishes and is changed into a mix of laughter/embarrassment about playing that game. And then, it becomes particularly hilarious when she starts walking. I thought it was one of  Varric's exaggerations meant for comic relief, and that the real thing was going to happen next (it could have been a nice touch).
I have the theory that Bioware employees had been watching a teen horror movie before doing that scene. It's the only explanation I can think of.

In one certain playthrough I did, my Hawke was so fed up if I could have magically teleported back to Act II I would have *found* a way to convince the Arishok that his idea of sifting through the rubble may in fact be the right thing to do.  Man, I was annoyed that particular playthrough.   lol Funny in retrospect. 

I am not sure I could have razed it to the ground ...although that would be more dramatic.   I may have just turned my back on it and piggy-backed Varric off into the sunset with him screaming "Put me down, Hawke!" (half-heartedly, I assure you.)   It was hell-bent on self-destruction anyway.

Yep. One of the many, many things I hate in DA2's story.

I can't decide if it's the writing or the way it's executed in game that bugs me about it. I suspect the latter. Had Hawke and Orsino been fighting at the gates when the templars first charged in or otherwise been involved and in a position to see what was going on before being pushed back to that final chamber with only a handful of survivors, him snapping and going all Plan Omega would've made a lot more sense. As it is, it just comes off as a shallow way to bludgeon a harvester into DA2 somewhere.

I have to agree, here I am wasting half a dozen templars alone and when I turn around Orsino is all "We are Lost! GRaR!"

I actually had to pause the game and go "Wait, what? What the $%^@?!"

Yeah, if I could change only ONE thing about the game, that is it. (ok it has more than one part to it, I dream big, alright?) I would have there be a choice at the end where you are actually ON one side or the other ( or manage to avoid it through some sort of tricksy diplomacy ) and fight the side that actually opposes you if you can't diplomatically intervene. I know, I get what they were going for, that despite all the best intentions life sucks sometimes and people are at the mercy of their basest emotions at time, emotionally roller-coaster etc.  I just think the game ending would have felt better that way. And I don't mean feel better like hugging kittens while under a rainbow, I mean felt logical and fitting with your choices and the world as a whole.  

*shrugs*  It is what it is, but if I could change one thing, that would probably be it.

Orsino's 'All is lost!' heel face turn is a given.

That there's no way to stop Anders even if you refuse to help him. He admits he lied and you're not helping him find a cure. You can warn the R.Mother, Cullen and everyone else in Kirkwall and nothing changes.

Actually that the problem with most of Act 3 it doesn't matter what you do or say the set plot will march on regardless. Compare that to the Landsmet onwards in DAO. The general out come is the same but the player has a choice in the details of that outcome.

That mage!Hawke isn't told out right that the only reason they haven't been dragged to the Tower of Magi is that the title of champion protects them or some other handwave is beyond annoying. Or that other than codex entries that are easy to miss there is no mention of how thin the veil is or the high rate of mages failing the Harrowing. And all the other bits of basic plot information that would explain a lot of the WTF!?! barely making it into the game.

If Mage Hawke doesn't want to do her bidding, Meredith says "You are an Apostate.  One who operates freely only because you have been a protector to this city.  If I suspect that is no longer the case, then I may decide your status needs to change".  Which is fairly straightforward.

[dragonflight288]

My least favorite moment would have to be when we're kicking the templars butts at the end, when WHAM, Orsino is all 'We're doomed' and then BAM I'm fighting templars and Mr. Ugly.

I couldnt think of any moments until I saw this.  And then it dawned on me that yea...That was pretty retarded lol.  Because no matter what you do at the end, you end up fighting both Orsino AND Meredith.  Which pretty much made "choosing a side" rather moot.
