Very true, there is little button mashing but what annoys me how ridiculous the combat is on hard/nightmare. They always come in waves making it difficult to plan and how you always walk into perfectly positioned enemies making it so that the only way you'll win is to abuse the system by running back into a choke point and funnel em all in. Even with this, you can't stop them from passing the doorway by body blocking with a tank. Also you can't even check the statuses that you inflict on enemies for abilities like Death Hex so you gotta disable all the tactics and do it manually. DA2 is definitely a big step back since all you do now is spam AoE due to the sheer number of enemies and with the removal of more than half the skill set from DA:O to dumb it down for the console players.

Honestly, the gfx looks like crap if you were ever to get to the camera to get a close look at the npcs as it clearly shows that they optimized it for consoles and did a piss poor port to the PC. At least they didn't have a hit "start" button to start the game. Lastly, I don't think I've ever played a game where copy-paste has been used so so so so extensively its mind boggling. MMORPGs have more sudden copy-paste than this just shows how little time they were was in development, all courtesy of EA. They ruin everything they touch, I just hope BF3 got vaccinated against the virus that is EA.
