In my opinion, the major problem with DA2 was that every quests are like this: 1) Go to location X 2) Talk to the guy Y 3) Y tells you to go to location Z 4) When you arrive at Z, there will be repetitive combat (about 5-10 times) 5) Find the boss A that Y told you to kill. 6) return to Y and claim award/200 XP. every single main quest/side quest is same formula and it gets boring too early. The main story is also rehashed version of Mage vs. Templar in DA:O. and all side quests are same as before (meaning, you find companions and do their loyalty quests) Bioware need to get more creative.
