Well, I really prefer the freedom that Skyrim gives me. Bioware's good at telling stories, but their games are pretty straight forward, no real freedom. Not even the freedom to jump. I also wouldn't say DA2 has a larger area to explore. I haven't played DA2 through myself, but I just can't believe that possible. In Skyrim, the world is so vast and there's always something to do. I agree with the bosses though, Skyrim's was too easy. As for the DLC, DA2 has been out significantly longer than Skyrim has. Besides, I remember hearing/reading Todd Howard say that the "DLC" they're making would me a bit bigger than the normal DLC. Something like the Shivering Isles in Oblivion. Skyrim was what I originally expected from Dragon Age: Origins. In my opinion, Bethesda did better with the dragons than Bioware did. Aand, as for the graphics, I don't really care. Even though they're nice, I've never needed great graphics. I play Skyrim on low settings, and that's fine for me. I can't believe my ears when people say Skyrim looks horrible even on high settings. To me, it looks freaking amazing.
