Quite like Dragon Age II, even with the recycled dungeon design! Am playing as a male rogue and it definitely handles better than in Origins.

Party banter is as neutered as it was in Awakening, sadly, although it still makes me giggle.

Also find myself liking Anders more in this game than how he was in Awakening; at least now he has a personality beyond 'Alistair mk.2'. His voice was better in Awakening, though.

Am trying to seduce Fenris but think I've already botched it somewhere. Oh well. This friendship/rivalry thing is a bit difficult to balance, especially since I keep finding it more difficult in this game to make neat parties. I mean, in Origins I just always took Leliana, Wynne and Alistair with me since they would always approve if I did the lawful good thing, while in DA2 it's far more difficult to tell what the 'good' options are and what your teammates want you to do (other than, say, 'don't slag mages while in front of Anders' and 'don't sympathise with mages while in front of Fenris').

Also, Fenris really, really sounds like Balthier. Not much voice differentiation, there.

Also also, I love Isabela.
