So far I have played a few games with DLC and in none of them did
I feel that the game before the DLC had less quality or quantity.
The DLC was a welcome addition to give me more of the game that I
enjoyed without my having to wait years for a sequel. And typically
the DLC was nowhere near as rich and fun as the original game.

I never played NWN2, having been disappointed by NWN. DA is
rather an evolutionary descendant of the Baldur's Gate games,
and yes, I loved DA. (Except that it was too easy, even in
Nightmare mode. But awesome storytelling.)

You consistently find yourself in the position of disparaging a
wide array of things which many other people like. Maybe it's
just you.
