How many people are excited for this one? I know I am. I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, especially how amusing some of the characters were (e.g. Shale). I'm told they've streamlined the combat and UI, and I have mixed feelings on this. Micromanaging fights for strategic wins is always satisfying (giant dragons!), but sometimes it's just more fun to run around with the phrase "Let's hunt some orc!" in mind. I'll be downloading the demo later this week, but I'm sure I'll be getting the game down the line.
There are a few things I'm tired of related to games in general. Downloadable content on release day feels wrong, almost like the game being sold is incomplete. It's only worsened by the fact sometimes the content adds a lot to the game. An example of this is Shale in the original Dragon Age vs. downloadable characters in Mass Effect 2. The golem was hilarious, and by far my favorite party member. It had unique dialog options, and you could interact with it like a normal group member. Without Shale, the game would've felt incomplete for me. However, in Mass Effect 2, the downloadable characters felt half-assed, and you couldn't have too many meaningful interactions with them. Thus, I didn't really care if I had the character or not.

I liked one. I got it around the day it came out so I didn't get any of the content, but I enjoyed it nontheless. :)

I've always liked the Mass Effect and Dragon Age titles, I'm looking forward to my midnight release for it so I can crack my copy open and demo it while I'm working. I did enjoy the DLC for ME2 a lot more, both titles were pretty refreshing though.
