I also loved / love DA2 to the point I've played it well over 30 times, might be more! I'm also going to be getting all achievements for both my daughter and hubby on their profiles.
I can't get enough of the game and am REALLY looking forward to DA3!
I liked DA2 and look forward to DA3

I've loved DA:O, DA:A, and DA2 and I'm sure I'll love 3 just as much.
One thing that always confused me about the folks that criticized DA2 a lot of times was that the criticism was that it was different than DA:O, as though what they were really wanting was just another expansion like DA:A instead of a full blown sequel. Myself, I really enjoyed DA2 being different and I look forward to seeing the changes in III.
Back in the 90s, for me, it was Microprose. That was the company that pretty much was a guaranteed hit for me. If it had Microprose on the box, you knew it was going to be awesome. Bioware current holds that distinction for me and I see nothing that indicates that is going to change anytime soon.

I'm a fan of DA2. Preferred DAO, but still enjoyed DA2 immensely. Looking forward to DAI!

Agreed, OP.
The way I see it, DA:O opened the world of BioWare rpgs to me and hooked me instantly. DAII gave me hours of pleasure (and yes, it's as dirty as it sounds). Yes it was rife with problems, but so was Origins, just a different sort. The worst being the recycled areas and the enemies spawning out of mid-air, and some others, but I loved it and it was worth many many playthroughs.
So I'm looking forward to DAIII, mostly because I'm curious as to how it'll be and how it'll turn out. DAII was pretty different from Origins, both in very good and some bad ways. The evolution from II to III will be something to behold.

Loved DA2 as well, despite its flaws and the fact that Origins was better in every way.
I'm rather optimistic towards DA3 since it seems they are taking their time and listening to feedback, but I don't expect it to surpass DA:O either. I hope being proved wrong about that once the game comes out.

Yeah, I enjoy DA2 and I am looking forward to DA3. Frankly, I think the DA2 DLCs are enough evidence for me to see that the devs has heard and responded to the bulk of criticism of DA2. The recycled areas from DA2 were totally replaced by brand new and beautiful areas in Legacy and MotA. I feel like, if Bioware can continue making the kind of content where DA2 DLCs ended, that is pretty much exactly what I want from DA3. Just more, and bigger. Lots and lots of that kind of game content.

I too was hooked with Dragon Age Origins. Then DA2 and I'm really looking forward to the 3rd installment. I pre-ordered all 3 (Origins, Awakening, DA2) and will pre-order DA3 once it is announced. I can't wait to see what they do with #3.

I liked DA2 very much. The romances were great, the plot was interesting, and Legacy had its charm. Although, unlike Origins, it doesn't offer much in terms of replayability(no origins or huge decisions), I think it's a great game with very interesting companions.
Now, if we could have a DAO-like plot with DA2-like romances and companions(well, with Shale and Morrigan instead of Isabela and Merrill, but that's details), I'd call DA3 a done deal.

Me too, it's nice to see the occasional other person that didn't hate DA2 lol. Please tell me you also like Tallis!
Can't speak for the op, but I liked Tallis a lot.
And I love DA2. It has it's faults, sure. But then, show me a game that doesn't.
Looking forward to DA3.

I love DA2 and playing it again at the moment. Some of the dialogue is such brilliant writing - e.g. Aveline after Liandra's death: so grown up, like out of a great film. Both her and Merrill are great characters - so good to see 3-dimensional companions.
DA:O is a slog, the dark roads goes on way too long, and it is a grind at times.... but it's soooooo atmospheric, I love the different starts and the whole atmosphere up to the the first walk to Lothering... just utterly brilliant.
Just hope Bioware can take their time with DA3 and lessons have been learned from ME3...

DA2 was such a disappointment that I did the one thing I have never done. Signed into this forum to voice my concern over the changes done to the game. DAO was awesome.

DA2 is fun the first few times, then it gets dull since nothing you do matters. It definitely does not have the replay-ability of Origins.

I quite liked DAII, but it wasn't without flaws; we all know what they are so let's not go there. I've already had my ME3 appeciation topic butchered 
The story and characters were fantastic and I totally fell in love with the new artistic direction, especially with what they did to the elves; I hope they keep this consistant in DAIII. And there's a decent time period to get this one done, unlike the 18 months I kept hearing DAII got.

I like DA2. In fact I am playing it again right now for my 5th or 6th time. There were some places that it made me say WHAT??? (like me killing Zevran in DA:O but he was in DA2). 
Other than some minor frustrations I very much enjoy the game.

I also adore DA2 in spite of its faults and for me it has much better replayability than DA:O. Although I very much enjoyed the latter at the time, it now feels like a HUGE chore to play.
Everything I've heard about DA3 sounds very exciting and I CAN'T WAIT!

I also enjoyed DA2. I had fun playing the game, and I thought it was an enjoyable experience.
I have a LIST of improvements, though. I was dissapointed in many aspects of the game, from a "compared to others of it's genre" standpoint. But all-in-all, I enjoyed the game, and do replay it from time to time.

Hopefully by being a superior quality product (and how can it not be? No seriously....what could they possibly do to make a worse product than DA2?), everyone will be pleased. That would be the best outcome.

DA2 was a decent game in my opinion. Can't hold a candle next to DAO though.
They had some good intentions. A different kind of plot that didn't come down to 'You alone can save the world from an ancient evil' and I liked the Qunari acts as well as the fact they started up several plotlines as early as act 1 and they kept active until act 3 until they were resolved.
They just did an incredibly sloppy job on the polish and made totally no effort to add some more inspiring scenery. The combat was basically hack and slash and tactics were blown out the window because mobs appeared out of thin air.
On top of that, they flushed the lore they established in DAO through the toilet. For example demons possessing non mages (I mean wth?) or demons working actively with blood mages (instead of immediately turning on them as established in DAO)
So yeah, DA2 is a decent game as far as I'm concerned but it's nowhere near the quality of DAO. And I'm not trying to be pessimistic but I don't believe DA3 will get anywhere near DAO either. Hopefully it will beat DA2 by quite a lot though. Time will tell.

Eh I personally hope da3 is going to be a mix of DAO and DA2 since both games did something good and something bad.

I do expect some people to either be flabbergasted by my opinion, or outright tell me i'm wrong. But, I hope a FEW people can appreciate the good points of DA2 and stop trying to make it like Witcher/Skyrim/DA:O/whatever. I want DA3 to be DA3, and move the franchise forward. Bioware doesn't need to reinvent the wheel, just give me good characters, good plot, and good gameplay, and i'm happy.
One of the few that really enjoyed DA2. IMO DA2 was just as good as Origins in it's own way but I do enjoy 2 a tad more.

Liked DA2 too!
So refreshing to see some positive views about the game.
Yes, I'm dissatisfied with some major things and few minor things. All in all, it left a good impression. To me, both DA:O and DA2 stand equal.
To me DA2 strong points are but not limited to:
- Dialogue & personality system.
- Story
- Voice acting, especially the lead roles (Fem. Hawke FTW!)
Visually, while not greatest and left the 'unfinished' -feeling, it was okay. I really liked some design choices like Kirkwall architechture, could've been more detailed/polished but I still liked it. Chains, stone, old, heavy, edgy, pointy (hard to describe it)! Yes!
:innocent:
