Oh and as far as the dumbing-down of DA2 goes there's a huge controversy about it from the fan base, but my roommate and friends have all played DA:O and it's interesting-the opinion seems to be mixed. One person says it's all malarkey (but he's an interesting sort) and that he totally loves it-another says that yes, it's definitely dumbed-down and different from the first (doesn't feel like Dragon Age), but he still likes it, so...so far it's still mostly positive even if they agree it's not the same game...
