Ofc, there are people like you that imidiately come and say "come on! its 2010, do something new!"
Ah, butthurt... Guess I've found another DAO/bioware fanboy, eh. Thousands of them.
Yeah, you did. I'm a Divinity fanboy, a DA fanboy, a Risen Fanboy, a Mass effect fanboy, a Diablo Fanboy... and i cant recall more now but you get the picture i guess.
I love RPGs, always did, and DA:O is a damn good one, as is D2.
The whole "fanboy" expression is kinda old already, but do feel free to use it as i take no offense.
Regarding this thread, comparing both games is realy hard as they are so radicaly diferent. For example, DA:O has beautifull graphics in my system (1920x1200 w/ 8x AA), but close-ups are HORRIBLE in some textures, seems like a 10 year old game sometimes, D2 on the other hand has much better textures, but horrible animations (imho). Voice-acting in DA:O is perfect, but sometimes they go a little overtop on so much dialog, while D2 is more "direct to the action".
