I think DA2 does a lot to improve on the original game, I really enjoy the setting and how each act has it's own storyline that each build on each other and effect each other. Another thing I enjoy is how all your choices in the first game all matter in this game and have some kind of effect, it's great world building that gives it even more unique playthroughs than the first one.

All the characters are great and I enjoyed going on quests with all the companions and hearing their banter. The dialogue and story of the game, along with the world building is all carefully crafted to make the game feel unique.

The ending is a very climatic event that wraps up the entire game very well, the combat is a welcomed improvement from the first game and the game just feels and looks better than the first one.

The transition between all the Dragon Age games feels very smooth despite all the possible routes to take the games and that is really some amazing world building by the developers that makes Dragon Age feel like an exceptionally unique series among other series.

I went with with rogue duelist btw. Kind of wish we could choose between different races/backgrounds like in Origins but it was best for the story.
