heard the first was, also heard people were pissed about the second therefore my question. and the only Star Wars i enjoyed was X-Wing VS Tie Fighter

The second one improves GREATLY the combat gameplay, all skills are useful and for every char there is 2 or 3 good builds ( those days of gazillion useless mage spells are gone, and warriors with ALL skills picked up), but the backgrounds are always the same recycled environments and it becomes really repetitive on that side. Boss fights also are a huge improvement from DAO. History isn't as epic as the first one, but it has some amazing parts, and again, some boss fights will keep you on your toes, specially playing on nightmare.
Also, while in DAO only there was one or two good companions, all of the ones you can carry along on DA2 are way better personality wise, at least for me

The second one is much better than the first one since it actually has a story worth mentioning and well written characters in the party and the player character isn't a mute anonymous person without any personality of his/her own anymore.

I loved the first and hated the second. Rheed has a pretty good summary on what DA2 was like in comparison, and if that stuff doesn't bother you it wasn't the worst game in history. I loved DAO for the story more than most of the other game elements, and that was one of the big areas where DA2 fell short for me. I may give it another playthrough since my nerd rage has subsided a bit, though.
Even not liking DA2, I say buy it, definitely worth that price.

In my opinion the First one was the best. Having said that I have beaten the first one atleast ten times by now. Now I love the series so much that I also loved the second one. But the second one was quite bad. You can easily tell you are running through the same designed dungeon multiple times. But I was able to look past that and still play the entire game. The combat is a lot smoother but I quite liked the tactical feel in the first.

They're both pretty great.
Dragon Age II especially.

I need to get the Ultimate Edition of Origins one of these days.
I've only got the base game.

I don't have it at the moment and I'd prefer to get it on Steam or Origin.
A physical copy would be even better.

I got them for ~10€ at nuuvem a while ago. DA:O is much better than DA2 imho. But both are really good. Give them your money! :D

Dragon Age: Origins occasionally suffers from generic fantasy cliches and long dungeon slogs, but is otherwise great. Awakening is very nice on its own merits, but I did feel like it suffered a bit because it felt sort of awkward in the way my character's standing shifted from the end of the main campaign going into the expansion. This may be less true depending on the choices you make, though. The other DLC for DA:O is a mixed bag, but some of it is really good. I recall thinking the Leliana one was particularly well done.
I have yet to play DA2. Reviews I've seen have generally said it was inferior to the original, but I don't know how true that is or how big the difference is. All of DA:O at $7.50 is definitely a good deal, and I think even if it's flawed it's probably worth paying an extra $2.50 to get the full package with DA2 in it.

Dragon age origins is amazing. it's basecally one of the best WRPGs that i have played. it has a cliched story like LOTR which for me is awesome. It is very similar to KOTOR.
Dragon age awakening is more of the same, which is quite good if you liked origins. in this expansion you have a castle and everyone treats you as a hero. this is what espansion packs should be.
Dragon age 2 is like a double edge sword. the gameplay is so diferent that it doesnt even seem to be a dragon age game. the story is not heroic like the first and there is a lot of zone recycling.is dragon age 2 a good RPGs? yes it is. Is it a good Dragon age? no. for me dragon age 2 shouldn´t have been a numbered sequel.
this is my opinion, i am sure some people prefer DA 2 to DA:O however none can dismis how amazing was DA:O when it launched. it almost took me by surprise (since it was made by bioware i already had high expectations)

Dragon Age Ultimate is well worth the price. It's not a perfect game, but still a lot of fun and great value for the money.
The second one is pure shit though.

Origins is great. Dragon Age 2 on the other hand...

Origins is great. high fantasy standard stuff, no suprises.
DA2 isn't as generic(i.e you're the chosen one; go save the world) or "Epic" compared to the original. I actually really enjoyed the story, and characters more in some places.
They're definitely two quite diffirent games. People who expected the sequel to be more of the same, were disappointed and are still pissy about it for some reason. Don't listen to them, make your own mind up.

Dragon Age: Origins
162.3 hrs on record
Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition
90.6 hrs on record
Dragon Age II
64.2 hrs on record
For 10 dollars thats an absolute steal for how much gameplay you'll get out of them. Do it.
I suppose I should actually answer the question... DA:UE has DA:Origins which is an absolutely fantastic game. Its expansion is well... an Expansion, some added skills and stuff over-all same experience.
Dragon Age 2 though its not as amazing as DA:O was I still loved it to bits. I enjoyed playing it... its far more actiony then DA:O was. So maybe you'll like that? Maybe not?
