The story is disjointed and the lack of customization jarring when compared to Origins. The saving grace are the characters. I really forgot that they’re probably some of the best written.

Embracing my truth as someone who actually does like this game a lot even if it is not nearly as good as Origins

For a long time I hated it, but when I stopped looking at it from Origins' perspective, DA II became quite enjoyable.
