Since I know there are no opionated people here...

I'd just like to hear what anyone who cares to comment has to say. DAII has come down enough in price so that I'm considering buying it. I've heard all the criticisms -- lack of story, lack of character development, hate the convo tree, horrible elf morphs, repetitive areas and so on. However, does the game have anything to recommend it? I like series, and I like to get all the installments thereof. However, if DAII is an utter waste of money, I'll just keep replaying DA:O/Awakening and bide myself in patience for DAIII. (And, I really hope they come up with an actual name for the next installment.)

I was disappointed, but no regrets about the money spent. It's like when you love something very much and it doesn't live up to your expectations, there's disappointment, but it doesn't mean there isn't enjoyment too.

Well, one reason I wanted to wait until the price came down is because 1) I couldn't actually afford it when it first came out and 2) I wanted to make sure I wouldn't regret spending the money on it when I finally did buy it. While I studiously avoided spoilers (and even now have only the broadest idea of the plot), I did read as many of the early reviews as I could. I'll tell you what, I was looking for a fire extinguisher to use on the BSN boards.
