I do.
I've two PC's, one for the daily duties and other tuned for gaming. In the last 4 months the gaming unit has not been in use, because I just played Geneforge 5 and BG, and for that my daily unit is more than enough. I'll get my pre order DA2, but I'll not play it soon, mainly because I'm having a blast with Trilogy. More, I'm positive it will be a step down in what was DA:O, in terms of cRPG. In other forums I already stated my displeasure towards the path that modern gaming seems to follow.
Yes, like the OP I'm feeling hypocrite by buying DA2.
