I can't say I've gotten as much out of DA2 as I have out of DA:O/DAA - I'm still doing replays of DAO and I'm barely into a second replay of DA2 and it's moldering. But at least some of the characters are good, and it's fun to know them well enough to write fics using them. Also I found things like the appearance of the DA2 elves has definitely grown on me. Zevran's head transfer may be an abomination, but overall I like the different feel of the DA2 elves enough to now be at least considering installing the mod that makes the DA:O ones resemble them.
