The repetitiveness of the missions also wore on me after awhile and constantly being shot in the back by my team wasn't exactly fun either.The AI for your teammates in ME2 was significantly improved, and I felt the combat was much more dynamic with far more interesting and varied locations. Each mission had it's own little story and objective with multiple layers to it which made them far more interactive than in ME1.Missing out on the cut-scene renegade/paragon options also meant you missed out on some of the best moments in the game. In fact, pretty much all of the best moments are through the interrupts. There's even a series of paragon interrupts with Liara (if she was your love interest) that is very dramatic and romantic and builds up to the two getting back together (in the DLC).Also, the DLC is some of the best Bioware has ever done, regardless of game.As for DA2, though, I totally agree and didn't buy it based on the demo either. I did end up picking it up later on when I got it as a $10 download and it was better than I expected and I consider it to be better than DA1, but still not good enough for me to want to finish the game.I don't know what ahayford's talking about, because most of the characters are irritating twats and very few of them synergise well in terms of having a good team AND having similar morale (or whatever the like/dislike system is called) options. It becomes tedious when no matter what dialogue option you pick, you end up pissing off someone in your group.The worst thing about DA2, though, was the forced choices. I built my entire group around the character's sister, for instance, and built clever character macros to take advantage of her abilities and then... *poof* she's gone, so 20 or so levels of gaming suddenly made pointless and redundant. Thanks Bioware.Oh, and as for the Garrus armor thing, you can swap his armor for non bashed in armor once you do his loyalty mission.</blockquote>
