As someone who actually made it passed character creation and played the game I can say it's actually very good. People are complaining about the lack of depth for certain romances (Lucanis) They fired his writer and scrapped a ton of good idea. Bioware being lazy and cheap is the issue. The combat is fun, the story is good. People need to stop looking at it as a sequel and realize it's it's own game in the franchise just like all the other ones.
