Bioware really fumbled their story telling abilities with this one.
The first game was amazing! Diverse and unique locations, full customization of your entire squad, extensive dungeons with creative designs and enemies, companions with complex personalities and real weight in the story, and TONS of loot!
Bioware decided to scrap all of that in this game. I guess they made the graphics better. Thanks? Every location is the same as the last. Literally. All the caves are EXACTLY the same from design to layout to enemy locations.
Your companions have much more restrictions on their customization and abilities. You can't even change their armor appearance! AND THEY MADE DOG A DLC!!!!
Loot is much more scarce and honestly not very interesting. 90% of the loot is literally trash (as in it has a dumpster icon because it has no use) The story is so chaotic that you don't know what is going on most of the time. You just go to where the big yellow arrow points to kill enemies in a dungeon that looks the same as the last dungeon you were in.
I started this game directly after finishing Origins and I feel like I just took a huge step back. DA2 is not nearly as fun to play.
