    NOPE. Not gonna play this game even if someone gifts me it. Forced same gender relationship plotlines (courtesy of game writer who is "the biggest fan of Twilight gigglesquee"), convo choices that make no sense, classic DA:O mobs re-designed into the craphole....list goes on and on.

    Every one is entitled to their own opinion (religion, homosexuality, twilight, etc) ;) Therefore, if that turned you down, don't buy it, and don't troll this thread on your negative and irrelevant thoughts about the game. As easy as that.


    I got the game when it came out for $59.99 and so far have put 45 hours on this game, so, for $23.98 you cant go wrong :D :D

    I have to agree. I wanted to like the game, I really did. I did complete it, so it is not that bad, but Im old fashioned, I expect a sequal to be bigger, and hopefully better than its prequal, but the areas are so small and are repeated constantly through the game.

    This game wasn't bad per se as what everyone else is saying in this thread, but it did lose a lot of its luster by being a console-oriented RPG over its predecessor as a PC-based, D&D-influenced RPG. It was because of the forced simplicity that for me, it got a bit boring. I have yet to beat it.

    PS: Where is the DLC support? Besides the ones released at launch, this has been the longest time BioWare has not added new DLC content to it, not that I really care about them for the time being :rolleyes:.

    Of course it wasn't bad per se, it is still above the average of many other RPGs in terms of story and gameplay. The only issue is that it is a sequel of an amazing game, that is were the major complaints come from.
