I am not surprised at Dragon Age II dropping in price. A lot of newer gamers hated this title and think t is the weakest of the trilogy at the moment. Everyone's biggest grip about it was the mapping I think. In it if you go through one dungeon you've been through them all. However it opened up the series a lot with a great story where you can have Hawke get totally devastated. Also it incorporated your Origins choices to show up as you went through Kirkwall and the Free Marshes. Not to mention it gave us an improved battle system over origins that was fun and fast.

It it is my personal favorite of the three out at the moment and don't think it gets credit fr what it brought to the series. Plus who doesn't love Varric.

I think ink growing up with the NES, followed by the SNES gave me a great love for story and gameplay over graphics. Really if you take away the repeated maps you get a great game. It's not like repeated maps are anything new either, as I am playing FFVII at the moment I've noticed a few repeats there too. It has never hurt that game's money though so who knows.
