Try not to sound like a fucking fanboy the next time you post your fucking retarded review you cocksucker shitbag. All you did in your review was complain like a 10 year old kid who didnt get his iphone 5 for his next birthday.

If you truly believe that DA:O' s story had more depth, and was the "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate II, i am safe to assume that you never understood the trilogy in the first place. For me, Origins was as repetitive, dull and generic as DA2, with the exception of very few places. It is LINEER as shit, the story is CLICHE as hell and the mechanics are frustrating. When you face a decision about which potato goes on to which shelf, you automatically assume that the plot has depth, while your ultimate goal is to slaying the archdemon, stopping the darkspawn from 10 minutes into the game. The armor styles are dumb as shit, when i equipped my first cowl as a mage i almost threw up in that game. All armors look the same. All menus are made to make your life harder just by trying to navigate them. And if you claim Origins has better graphics than DA2, you clearly are a retard.
There are some aspects that are the same in both games though, the cities are equally dull and make you want to get through as quickly as possible, dungeons are designed in such a way that your only purpose is to go forward and find the miraculous second exit that takes you to the same entrance faster.
And there are some aspects that Origins is better than DA2. Such as combat depth, variety of skills and the depth of some individual quests, although that too is limited. I hate it in DA2 that every time you engage combat, enemies appear out of thin air as waves.
All in all, i believe that DA2 had really good potential in development, however it has been rushed so much that we end users are experiencing the fraction of what was intended for the game. Thus, the feeling of dumbing down to appease 10 year old button-mashers.
To summarize my point: You cannot hope to get good games out of a company who only knows how to build GAME ENGINES, it was BLACK ISLE who gave Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Fallout franchises the depth they had, being the awesome script, story and dialogue writers they are, and the Infinity engine was only the means to an end, nothing more. Bioware makes decent games, but to be honest, they will never achieve something so grand as the titles i just mentioned again. ESPECIALLY not while working with some deuchebag capitalist company like EA.
