I think I can see your point, and if I think back to D2, I can see it was more similar to the example of something slightly less silly that I mentioned, DA:I. Such as arriving on Sentinel Island where I was greeted by the wonderful silliness of the Hermit's dialogue, in stark contrast to some of the saddest parts of the entire game which came shortly after. Now that I cast my mind back, perhaps D:OS does lack some of that real emotional pull that D2 had. Maybe the Enhanced Edition will add some of that; I don't totally object if it doesn't, but I think I am now getting the point.
