Thinks that DA2 is WAY better than DAO in EVERY aspect(including story)?
I never managed to finish DAO, the gameplay is too slow, and the story is boring, if the story were good i would try play it, but it's not, well, my opinion, anyone else?

Well, it's always better to explain, why your opinion is your opinion.
Just saying "Game X is better than Game Y" is more like a flame bait.
And before you say something: Yes, you did tell us your reason. Slow combat and the story doesn't interrest you. No offense involved.
But there are always fans who can't tolerate different opinions and take it as a personal insult.
My kid sister also likes DA2 way better. Though she never made it past the Arishock, even on the easiest level and on severel different characters. At least that's what I think.
She likes the combat better and I think she's a fangirl of Fenris. And Merrril. And I believe Isabela, too. I can't blame her for liking the characters. (When she watched me playing the game, she noticed how funny Silly!Hawke is, she usually takes the good options.)
Personal, I liked DAO's game mechanics much better than DA2's. And the recyceled environments didn't help.
Never made it very far during my second playthrough of DA2.

I felt combat was worse in this game. Pretty much every battle consisted of you fighting one boss type character, then henchmen. You defeat them, then you're confronted with wave after wave of weaker enemies that literally appear out of mid air.
The recycle environments also detracted from the game as well the lack of exploration.
And I just finished the game for the first time and the end was disappointing to me. No epilogue?
I like the game and story, but I kind of feel like they dropped the ball on this one when they made it. Hopefully DA3 is much improved as a sequel SHOULD be.

Problem is you're also not providing enough context. DA:O was slow and the story was bad and you didn't finish it? How far exactly did you play? Half-way? One main area? Did you even finish Ostagar?
Without some specific context, you might as well be saying "I looked at the title screen for five seconds and turned it off because it looked dumb."

TheKyubi posted...Thing I loved about DAII than DA:O is the combat system, Hawke, and the story.
Pretty much this, for me. The story kinda felt lacking at times, but Origins gets boring real real quickly after your first play-through.

I can always restart DA2 and have fun. I cannot say the same about DAO.

I prefer Dragon Age 2 for combat, graphics and the fact that you can "Hide helmet." When it comes to story and layout (IE not being stuck in same area for the majority of the game), however, I prefer the first.

Glad you have an opinion, one that I cannot agree with, but none the less, an opinion.
I have played through DAO probably 5 times....DA2 once. I enjoy the characters, but once was enough for me at the moment. Maybe sometime in the far future or near past I will play it again. Just like Awakenings, enjoyed it, but not as much as Origins.
I guess the ideas of stopping the blight to me was better than the intrigue of mad templars or ticked off mages.

^Heh, I'm worse off. I've managed to play DA2 five times, in spite of how much I hate it.
It's seriously weird. I start thinking "You know, I've been through the disappointment, and am over it now. Maybe I'll enjoy the game more now that I know what to expect from it." Four times I've done this, and four times at the end I've thought: "Why did I even bother?"
It's this weird position where I actually WANT to like the game, maybe to find what the people who claim it's better than the first see in it, and every time ends in failure. In contrast, I've played DA:O thirteen or fourteen times through at this point and still love it.

I liked both games about equally, having played each 5 or 6 times. I'd give the edge to DA:O for being the better first time experience, but at this point I'd rather replay DA2. There are parts of DA:O (i.e. the Fade or Deep Roads sections) that I kind of dread, and my last attempt with a Dalish archer stalled twice.
The Legacy/Mark of the Assassin DLC's help DA2 quite a bit, as they gets you out of Kirkwall. Plus, DA2 has Varic! He's probably in my top five for favorite NPC's.
