first of all the value questions that is often asked - it is worth 50 bucks (or how much you are paying) - i needed around 33h to finish - but i really spent a lot of time looking at things or creating runes and being to dum to solve riddles... if you play fast and don't waste too much time with the sidequests, youre gonna be through in less then 10 hours i guess (but who would want that). just for comparsion - my first playtrhough in dragon age with the same attitude was 90 hours, the second one was 30 hours...
pro's:
great character's - you might still miss one or two from origins, but the new ones are really fun...
great banter between character's - much better then in origins - mostly because the characters are even more over the edge (oghren for example - you will play through it at least twice just to see the different combinations...
enemies use more abilities during fights
you'll find plenty of items
some of the locations are really great - better then origins
there are some very interesting boss fights that are a bit more creative then in origins
there are some riddles to solve (but not enough)
some decisions have a direct influence (if you help party a, you won't get quests from party
new dialogue system (you click on objects or locations to start dialogues) - i enjoyed it, since it makes more sence then the clicking storm in the party camp and dialogues are always centered around a topic
some of the new skills are really hot and other classer are now more even to mages in terms of babooom
rune-crafting - thats really fun, lots of interesting runes...problem is just that it takes quite some time to get to the top runes and you might loose interest because you will be close to the game end then
cons:
not a lot of recerences to origin...there are a few, the beginning is nice, but besides your origin or decisions do not really matter (at least from what i saw)
the riddle's dont result in extraordinary rewards
some of the sidequests are extremely short or even meaningless - sometimes there is a huge build up for a quest and you thin WOA thats gonna be something but then the main part or end of the quest is extremely fast and unspactacular
some things you have to decide also build up as if the game would really change that but it doesnt really matter what you choose...some decisions that seem to be important have no real influence to the game while playing and are rather lore (can't say more without spoiling) - that was rather a bit disappointing... but some players might care about this to see all different outcomes /endins (it's pretty similar to the after-end in origins)
story telling - hmmmmmm not so happy with that one - you should really read the book (or at least the lore on dragonage wikia) before playing the game, cause the story reveals very slowly and not a lot before the end (or not at all) - so if i didn't read the lore i'd probably asked myself often ...and what am i doing right now?!
boss fights are more interesting, but i am sure you can make em even more interesting and different
the game is WAY too easy... when i played on normal - non of my characters ever died (except my mage 1 killed in friendly fire) and i breezed through everyboss without even using a lot of tactics... damn most of the situations my main char could kill all enemies by himself without any problems (10 at the time with the new skills) or my archer was killing everything before i even got close.. so you need to play at least on hard (if youre a beginner / casual gamer) or on nightmare if you want a little bit of challenge...
also, you find a lot of resistance gear that you dont need at all...
the game might also be too easy when you import and have access to all the best gear, maybe thats a problem...cause i had much more troble at the beginning starting with a new character
still no new gear or just a few bits (im especially talking about the ugly mage and rogue stuff)
its too short - can't wait to get the next one :-)
so thats it...
