I enjoyed it but like people said, from the original, it lacked certain features which made the original great. Simple things like not being able to dress my party in new armour was odd, especially when I chose a Rogue class and then throughout the game get given Warrior and Mage armour items for my character that can't use them. Recycled areas. The Wheel of talking I hated, it gave you the correct response each time for the reaction you wanted, in the case of DAO I had no idea, this gives in to the idea of 'YOU MUST CHOOSE' gaming, where you only have 2 options. Story wise it could be better.
But I did like the combat, it's fast paced helped the flow of the game. in DA3 they need to do a mix of the DAO creation and customisation for characters with DA2 combat and I'll be happy.
Hmm, pie.
