Yeah, yeah - but it's been a while since I found such an involving game. That being said, DA2 seems to have stripped away a few things from DA:O - most notably, the origin mission things, seeing as how the new protagonist - Hawke - has his own story. And I thought the origins stories were a nice touch, even though I inevitably ended up playing Human Mage every time. Also, almost all of your original companions are gone. I guess that makes sense. New protagonist, new companions. Everybody had something to do at the end of the first game.

Well, except for Ohgren, but who really likes Oghren?

Anyways, most of this is made up for by this. Is it a staff with a sword on the end or a sword with a staff on the end? I don't know but it's totally awesome. Also, Infamous bit where moral choices (I guess) seem to alter your physical appearance and the Qunari apparently have horns now. Oh, and that one chick in DA:O - Isabella - the one who taught you the Duelist specialization is going to be one of your companions.

Anyway - I'm kinda curious to see the plot of DA2, as the whole of DA:O was to gather up a whole bunch of people to defeat the army, and Awakening was about defeating a different army, who's left to fight in DA2?

EDIT Now that I see it, I regret not pulling a "FUCK SHIT WUAAGH!"
