I feel the same way. A big part of me is wispering to myself: "don't play it, it is an abomination rushed by EA for extra profit" and another part is lying to me "dude, just play it and get it over with"
I played it only once and after that I felt as if I have been forced to watch a very long and bad movie with no real payoff.
I am still battling with the thought whether I should rush a second playthrough of DA2 just to get my memory refreshed on the events, characters, etc. I just installed quite a few mods to make this experience as painless as possible (yes, there will be pain! just looking at those unnecessary "karate" moves when casting spells) but right after the very first battle (before the character customization), I felt this disgusting feeling in my gut...
EDIT: I actually believe that the "brains" behind DA2 got promoted or got a huge raise. I mean, putting a huge crap on a title, that had so much potential of a sequel, just for a quick buck - thát is effective marketing!. It feels as if BioWare are very talented artists who have no backbone to step up to EA and their ridiculous money-grubbing policies
EDIT2: (the rage continues) I feel, that with such a disapointment of DA2, DA:I should at least be 50% off the price. DA2 is just like a big unfulfilled hole in me. Like a Matrix sequel. It would feel better not even knowing that the sequel exists. And funny enough, they didn't even have the decency to call "DA:I" - "Dragon Age 3", because then people would say: hey - if there is a Dragon Age 2, I have to play it as well. But no - EA probably don't want people to know that there is such as thing as Dragon Age 2..
