        It took me like 2 years to get into the game, but it just had so many damn bugs that by the end of the game I was just playing because I wanted it to end. Shit loot, shit inventory, the most whiny characters in video game history and terrible "yay everything you did was worthless" ending.
        
        Dragon Age 2 felt like a b-movie I controlled. Your health bugs out when characters fall in combat and they become invincible..(patched now) but it never crashed on me and I would say I enjoyed it much more than the first one. But they both kinda suck.
