Let me say, i've played to DA:O until yesterday and i found it one of the best RPG ever made. Your party is highly detailed in both graphics and story, gameplay if fluid and there are no significative bugs (they found a solution for the memory leak). Also, DA got multiple ending and before you discover all the path (the starting story will change if you choose a different race/class) you can play anew quite some time. All that say, there is the romance and the interaction bethwen your party members...
Anyway, i didn't finish D2 yet, so a real comparison cannot be made, but... well, my first 6 hours of play aren't impressing me. In D2 bugs goes ramapage, gameplay is often frustrating, graphics can be done better and item collectable are not highlighted at distance... mean you will lose your sight to spot something and you need to be really close to "pick/activate" it.
I will resume play after the patch... let's see if thing get better
With time wisdom come, then with time mind fade and wisdom vane.
