but I honestly remember having an alright time with it, then again I haven't played through Origins so I don't have that to compare it against)

yooo I love DA2, it's my favourite DA game tbh
The characters in that game were by far my favourite (esp Isabela)
idk if this is a weird opinion but I love the way the story unfolds
like the other games are about these world-ending cataclysmic events and you're practically the chosen one and then DA2 comes along and it's all very local w/ Hawke taking care of their family and trying to make something of themself in the city
It's just a weirdly cosy vibe idk if that makes sense
I genuinely loved that you were just some random refugee schmuck trying to build a life for themselves and their family members while also helping their new friends with their problems and weird schemes. That's infinitely more interesting than some standard Bioware plot where you're a destined chosen one who has to save the world from being destroyed by the devil.
Unfortunately, basically everything else in the game was kind of ass with the relentlessly copypasted environments being the most egregious example
It's my favourite Dragon Age game as well for basically those exact reasons, I absolutely love that the story is for the most part very localised to Kirkwall and your friends.
I never connected to the Inquisition party like I did with DA2's because they just felt like coworkers rather than friends.
Also side note: I will never forgive cdpr for cutting Iorveth from the Witcher 3.
