Dragon Age II (Dragon Age: Exodus) - Memories and Lessons

Dragon Age: Origins was followed up by Dragon Age II just 16 months later. While it got a lot of criticism at the time for its changes from DAO as well as area reuse, over time it has become the one that is fashionable to like. I think it reveals the true secret of a Dragon Age game. This is a long one. Maybe Memories and Lessons will get meatier as we continue to approach the present day.
