DA2's combat is sooo much better so you'll probably be able to get through that one much easier.

I freaking love DA but for some reason it's taking me until this past week to actually get to DAI. THe world is just too large for a gamer like me. When you give me lots of space I want to visit all of it and do all of it. So I had 8 hrs invested in it and had only finished maybe 10% of the story. So finally i'm going back to actually playing it.

I haven't decided if I want to romance Cullen or Dorian yet. I was set on Cullen but then they introduced the story part with Dorian and the mages this weekend when I was playing and now I really enjoy his character. I did flirt with Blackwall a bit but decided to not push that one.

In DA: Orgins I romanced Alistair and in Dragon Age: Awakening I super loved Anders so I was determined to love him in DA2, but they dramatically changed his character so I went with Fenris. (Also a playthrough with sebastian, well as much as you could there).
