It's not a grand globe trotting adventure like Origins or Inquisition but it is a grand adventure in it's own right. If you liked the story of Origins and the subsequent DLC, you'll almost certainly enjoy this. Just keep in mind that it's a much more focused format that stays in the same city for almost it's entire playthrough.Dragon Age 2 is just as much the story of Kirkwall as it is about it's characters. I just finished a second playthrough and really enjoyed the experience 10 years later. Now that the distortion of expectation has evaporated, feel free to enjoy this little gem without the cacophonic rattling of the internet hate machine. Giving it a 10 for making me feel stuff.

Despite some advancement in storytelling approach and liberal borrowing from Bioware's Mass Effect approach to gameplay, Dragon Age 2 on the PC has a lot of bugs and is populated with re-used settings that make this feel like a play performed on a stage with two sets.

I found Dragon Age II to last about 27 hours for my first playthrough, split almost evenly between its three acts (though the last was a bit shorter). This was disappointing compared to Origins, which took more than 50 hours, considering both were fully explored at a fairly leisurely pace...With that said, DA2 is still a pretty darn good game.

Dragon Age II might stir up a little controversy for the radical changes BioWare implemented in the series, but many of them were done to make the game more accessible. It's still the Dragon Age many of us know and love, it's just growing up a bit. If you're looking for a fantastic adventure with incredible dialogue, vastly improved visuals and visceral combat, this game won't disappoint.
