MULTIPLE REASONS DA > BG2 (not in any order)
1. Dialogue skills
2. Multiple ways to solve quests/convince people to do what you want them to do
3. DA OGRE > BG2 OGRE
4. DA Fighters are not simply click and attack ala BG2 fighter (barring epic DA2 abilities for the lolz)
5. DA dragons will actually fly around in combat
6. Morrigan is more complex that Viconia/Jaheria/Imoen combined
7. Overwhelm/crush/grab ability is awesome for both enemies and dog (nothing comapres to it in BG2)
8. Codex
9. Multiple start points
10. Not always clear cut good vs evil choice
11. The obvious right chocie isn't as obviously right as you originally thought (dalish elves vs werewolves and the anvil quests as prime example)
12. All stats cna have some sort of influence on a character (unlike in BG2 where stats like intelligence and charisma are 100% worthless for fighters)
13. DA dwarves are awesome while BG2 dwarves are just there (but still more awesomer than most b/c well.. dwarves are awesome
14. Dwarven Noble Origin Rocks!
15. How the game even changed my mind about the 'needless' blood splattering - i used to think it is frivilous but it fits perfectly in the DA world where blood plays a huge factor (darkspawn taint, warden ritual, blood mage, etc., etc.)
16. No useless split up of black dwarves vs white dwraves or dark elves vs white elves. Inner race turmoil is because of culture not skin
The list goes fuckin' on, and fuckin' on, and fuckin' on.
