sunshinecorp: Before ANYTHING.
I mean I find the story in DA2 so generic and dull it hurts, nevermind how terrible the gameplay and the ceaseless repetition of maps is. Densely written? Oh, no.
And to put DA2 in the same sentence with a godly RPG like PS:T was so beyond heretical that you blew my mind. Well done, I was truly shocked to my very core! People are still trying to pry the flamer from my trembling hands!
That said, DA:O is still one of my favorite cRPGs, but again nowhere near true gems like PS:T, Fallout series etc.
I quite disagree - but still I really like yer style suneshinecorp (possibly), because it is so earnest. :-) As is my love of DA2, or PS:T for that matter.

And would suggest you put that flamethrower aside by your own volition - btw - my love of both games is sincere, so I think you would only discredit your own equally sincere dislike, because it is no better or worse - morally.
Or?
Let me push my heresy a little further: in case M&KB (mouse & keyboard) is your preferred interface; and strength of lore (u rather like Morrowind, right?) a pleasure - I dare state you might see DA2 just a little better after trying your hands on DA:I.
Cannot recommend u put forward much, or almost, money to test this hypotheses though!!
