Without reading the replies in this thread I am going to throw my few cents in here;
I loved DAII the first two playthroughs I did, but after that I saw the flaws that just shouldn't have been there to begin with. The fact that ALL SHIT seemed to go down in the SAME basements just pissed the living hell out of me. Now, I loved origins as well(Actually needs to do a playthrough of that, as I lost my save so will have to replay it for Awakenings now). The lack of depth for MOST characters, really other than the dwarf there was no one to love, and I am not gay unfortunately, so romancing him was not really an option for me(Not sure if you can even do that). The ending was shockingly thrown together and some of the story seemed a bit off. Lack of variety in quests pissed me off, and the fact that there weren't that many to begin with is what threw me off completely. Suffice to say I didn't stick around for the third playthrough, and I got bored, really quick. Other than the Qunari sequence nothing can really make me come back to it. It's a decent game, but I can see why so many fans of the DA series would absolutely loathe it.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
