"Sorry, but there is some confusion on this. We use Sony Release Control which shares some functionality with other Sony products (SecuROM), but we do not use SecuROM for the DRM. Once the Sony Release Control check is passed, Release Control self-destructs, removing the Release Control wrapper and it is never used again. Game updates will not use Release Control because obviously the release date is passed. Additionally, installing the game and then any future game patch will also remove the Sony Release Control check and it will never run on your computer."When asked about a running SecuROM process, he said: "There is no running process once it unwraps and self-destructs." In reply to a question about registry entries, he replies: "An inert registry entry that does nothing." Finally, when asked about files remaining on users' hard drives, he explains: "In a temp folder that is never referenced again. This part is sloppy and should be cleaned up, though. We will see about doing that in a patch."

I'm sorry that you are unable to enjoy this game for what it is. I'm sure you don't even own it. Its sad that you have to derive enjoyment by bashing someone who likes the game. That just shows you how sad and pathetic your life must be.

Yeah that's right, I called you out, troll.
So, Mr Mark Tackman, you created this account just to bash me and this game? What a loser...

Despite these noted flaws by positive reviewers, they are giving the game high scores because it feels more 'Mass Effecty'.
Actually, they're giving it good scores because it's a good game in its own right even if it's not the same as the first Dragon Age.
Would I like it if it were more like the first game? Sure, I definitely would. Does that make the game bad because it's not?
No. It doesn't.
That simple, really, but people seem so hung up on what the first game was that they aren't even willing to look at this one as its own beast.
Don't mind the removal of the dialogue-related talents: they always feel super weird in any RPG they're used in; I'd rather just be able to use whatever dialogue options I want, and it makes it bloody obvious which options will elicit the "desirable" response.

"SecuROM Sony Release Control" is still SecuROM

To get back on topic (is there DRM in DA2?)
So, are "Reclaim Your Games" wrong on this or not?
I'd say they are and the fact that their website is still 'offline' make me wounder if they have been server with a take down notice, after all, if this is not true and is being put out on the internet and damaging 'EA/Bioware/DA2 sales/impressions of DA2' then I'd imagine who ever published it may have some question being asked of them.
On the other hand, how many of you think/know that it is true and that Bioware/EA and just big evil lairs?

I don't get this. DefaultName Hawke doesn't feel any more or less my own character than DefaultName Cousland did in Origins.

He's right about the dialogue. Hawke is Shepard: not your own character. That's an annoying departure from DA:O's style.
