Yeah, one of the most disappointing things in DA2 was what they did to Anders. He was one of my favorite characters from Awakening and what we got in DA2 was a completely different character that they should have just created from scratch. It was actually a pretty good character, but I never used him or liked him because he was supposed to be Anders and this was not Anders. Which was fine, since DA2 is so easy that you don't even need a healer.
I agree with Spuuky that DAO's combat was overall better than DA2. I did like the speed of DA2, but the endless spawning of sword fodder in the battles (all of which dispatched easily by my button-mashing rogue who likely could have soloed most of the game) got ridiculous.
I hear DAI is vast, vast, vast and that actually sounds exciting if I had more time to play games. I'll get to it after I finish Mass Effect and then some kind of buffer game so that I'm not over saturating myself with Bioware titles.






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).
