To be fair, DAO came out right before Christmas.

[The E]

Yes, but what this shows to me is that DA:O had a better shelf-life. I mean, people kept telling people to get it now, because it was just that good. With DA2, the consensus seems to be to pick it up at a Steam sale or something.

[Shade]

Quite so. Personally, if I can get it for 10€ or less, then I'll go for it. Doesn't seem to be worth any more than that. And that 10€ better get me some DLC packs too.

If your taste is remotely similar to mine, just skip the whole thing. You want DLCs when you want more of a good thing. You do not want DLCs of a mediocre to bad product.

If you want my advice, get Drakensang: River of Time from gamersgate. Cheap and LOADS better than DA2.

As if that last bit is any achievement.

Alright, I'll give yo uthat.

Let me put it another way - I prefer it even to Origins.
It has great and rather realistic mechanics and a nice "feel" and graphical design.

In fact, the only downsides I could think of would be that there's less companion interaction than in DA:O (no romances) and that mages don't have so many OMGWTF spells.

You clicked the mouse button and something AWESOME didn't happen?  **** that.  I'm not interested!

For the record, since the board's sarcasm detectors seem to be malfuctioning lately, that's a joke at Bioware's expense.
