Another gem, in its own way.
This game has one of my favorite combat mechanics compared to other Dragon Age games, I find it very pleasing though not too tactful (except Legacy and Mark of the Assassin DLCs, holy cow the boss fight was hard).
If good story/lore is what you like (as you should, this is Dragon Age!), you will not be disappointed. Dialogue options are cool, but on ordinary conversations it feels as if it doesn't affect the outcome very much. Nevertheless, there are *many* comedic moments, and many unexpected little situations that are pretty cool.
The locations that you go to in this game, unlike DAO and DAI, are very limited. You end up revisiting locations often, and those aren't usually extensive, so it could get boring at times. However when you revisit those locations during other missions it doesn't feel too repetitive because your objective is different, and there are usually minor changes.
All in all, I think Dragon Age II can be really cool if you don't expect it to be too similar to DAO or DAI. DA2 is definitely shorter than the others, but the story is still awesome and will make you question your moral views on certain issues. This one is probably the funnies out of the 3 DA games.
