I've been so excited just to have a easier means to play Torchlight (not having set up my laptop) and earn some REAL achievements, I've practically forgot about DA 2. Not too mention I started playing Diablo 2 again. I'm too invested in getting loot to care about moral choices.
Plus, I'm still in the middle of my "perfect" playthrough is Dragon Age: Origins, so I'm in no rush to play DA 2 till I finish that.
Anyone else more interested in loot than moral choices?
Torchlight
Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Oct 27, 2009
Torchlight is a Diablo-style action RPG from Runic Games. The game features three classes, randomly generated dungeons, and lots and lots of loot.
Anyone more excited about this than they are about Dragon Age 2?
Real achivments? You mean the 200 points worth?
Im not that excited since the issue with frame rate.

I mean numbers that add to a total number that is displayed for friends or interested parties to see. Not little tabs that pop up. I know people will say they're both useless. Which is true. I'm just a fan of the original.

Real achievement is obtained when you accomplish something in the game. Couple day/week later someone knock at your door, congratulate you for your success while doing a high five and leave. This methods is then repeated for every real achievement you get.

I liked the Dog. Sending him to town was handy as it didn't take me out of the action. Equipping him with spells was also helpful and kind of entertaining. I liked it for what it is." @Lukeweizer said:

There's something about a big, fat number that screams "high score" or something to me. I just like the way it's set up. It is a shame there's only 12 of them. But I'll enjoy getting each one.

They're pretty different games, to the point where it only comes to down to which type of game you'd rather play at the moment, not really which one is "better."
That being said, after the demo and reviews confirming what I feared about DA2, I have no desire to play it. On the other hand, the Torchlight XBLA QL got me wanting to play Torchlight again, so I've been messing with that this past week.
