This is not a review for DA2 and  i would like to conclude that for dragon age 3 let's not create in our minds what we would like it to be, like ME3 and DA2 back then.
Iposted this at DA2 forums but i want devs to see it.

Until my current 3rd playthrough i hated DA2. i did not like the combat,
the waves of enemies, Hawke, his voice, Isabella and her sexism, the
companions were not like DA:O, the fact that DA2 is rushed, the lack of
consequences and lots of others. 
I was in the camp "DA2 is abysmal so burn every copy".
I decided to replay da2 as i run out of rpg's.

I approached DA2 with the knowledge of the wavy combat so i played more
carefully and not spamming button awesome abilities without a reason.
I approached DA2 with the knowledge that i was going to see "that map" again and again.
I approached DA2 with the knowledge that inevitably the same story will happen.

Suddenly something sparked inside me, the story feels personal now, i feel the
series of events Hawkes is participating is shaping the events that are
to come. this is great. He met Anders in order to participate the expedition in order
to have a chance at kirkwall etc
Some quests really feel very good and i like the fact that the story is not grand epic.
The interactions with companions and friendship-rivarly is the best feature bioware ever made for companions.
I like Isabella, aveline and fenris. Varric feels like a friend like Alistair and Morrigan did. Anders is kinda whinny though but in DAA he was likeable.
The music is fantastic. New tracks and returning themes from DAO.

So many skill tress and there is quite some thought on what you are going
to put points. Damage dealing without any utility or party-friendly talents does
not work for me. i have to move companions out of the way , to
reposition them, to create cross class combos. it is not just select the
whole party and nuke the same mob.
I was doing that the last two playthroghs and was getting owned.
Even the game is more actiony you still have to be tactical ( in hard or nightmare difficulty).
Some quests were very well done, i liked the qunari a lot and the Arishok is very intimidating.
I still have critisicm about the game but it's been said again and again.
If you get past the recycled enviroments and get used to the combat and know what to expect DA2 is very good game.
Bioware has done a very good job given the timeframe. I will actually buy Legacy and MOTA DLC as ienjoy the game wand want to experience more story.

As for DA3 i would say what many have said: Keep the good stuff from DA2 and good from DA3 and improve them.

This thread is being locked for the primary reason that cleaning it up will result in 90% of the posts needing to be deleted anyways.

I actually have little issue with the OP, although perhaps tying it in to DA3 in terms of the aspects you did and did not like from DA2 will protect you from those that wish to scrutinize those types of details.
