The reviewer called Greg Tito on The Escapist had
this to say about Dragon Age II:
Bottom Line: A pinnacle of role-playing games with well-designed mechanics and excellent story-telling, Dragon Age II is what videogames are meant to be.
Contrast with his TW2 conclusion
Bottom Line: As a world-building exercise, The Witcher 2 succeeds masterfully but there are deep flaws in its game design.
