As a person who barely registers a lot of the things I'm doing in gameplay when it comes to action trading rpg's I like DS2 because it pleased me in the story department. It was also a reasonable city adventure, which can be a very different feel from the more popular fantasy epic style of cruising across a nation. Regardless I'd have advised you to play DA2 more in the past when it was still fresh, I'd advise now you at least find yourself a lets play so you can fast forward through any parts you find unpleasant and get to the meat and potatoes of the work.
I am variable on my level of faith in this game for just that reason though. My ability to believe in their ability to design levels is on a medium level, pretty much flipping a coin. Game mechanics is much the same. But what scares me is that since a lot of people shit all over DA2 all the time they won't be bringing something like that in the story department to the table. It is looking more and more like the first Dragon Age in my head, which while not terrible was also nothing really new.
Setting my hopes up still though, as a fan of the series.
