Mediocre story, overall downgrade in quest design from its predecessor, and honestly, sub-par RPG mechanics.
And in spite of that, it is still probably the most fun game ever made, especially with mods.

Despite being very broken, old, and unfinished, KOTOR 2 manages to be one of the most compelling experiences in Star Wars history. KOTOR 2 constantly subverts expectations, innovates the Star Wars medium (at its time), provides a very different experience from the more tried and tested Star Wars storylines, and takes several steps forward in key areas from its predecessor.

Dragon Age Inquisition is my least favorite game in the series.
When DAI is good, it's really good. I think back to quests like In Your Heart Shall Burn, Here Lies the Abyss, and What Pride Had Wrought (and all the DLC's), and I really appreciate how blockbuster DAI can feel. However, let's just cut straight to the point. This game is way too long and bloated; the amount of bloat you have to push through to get to the parts of the story that are actively engaging and engrossing certainly gets tedious, especially towards the end of the game.
However, I still enjoyed this game. The amount of expansion on the world and lore of Thedas we get in this game borders on absurd, with the DLC's further going deeper and deeper into everything we thought we knew about Dragon Age. DAI handles this expansion of lore tactfully and honestly, giving us the best codex entries of the series as well as some of the most interesting and diverse characters in the franchise.
For all its flaws, this game is still great. (Just please don't make Veilguard 100 hours like this game thanks)

Dragon Age 2 is actually pretty good.
If you go into this game expecting it to be ANYTHING like Dragon Age Origins, you will be sorely disappointed. This game is almost nothing like DAO, but I still believe it provides a compelling experience. I have to give DA2 praise for the well-done, intimate, and character-driven experience it delivers, which differs in a lot of ways from both its predecessor and successor. Is this game perfect? No. Can you tell the game had a short development cycle? Absolutely. Is the combat any good? Not really. Is the world as vast and engrossing as DAO or DAI? No. Do certain role-playing elements suffer with a voiced protagonist? Absolutely, but honestly, Hawke is a pretty solid protagonist, and you can, at the very least, affect their personality.
If you come into DA2 with an open mind and let yourself be taken on Hawke's journey, you'll have a good time.

Janky, old, archaic, and despite that Dragon Age Origins is still an absolute classic with one of the most engrossing worlds in gaming history.

Fallout: New Vegas is my favorite game of all time.
FNV is simply one of the most engaging RPG experiences ever, and I could rave about FNV's satisfying dialogue and superb quest design for hours. But honestly, the game speaks for itself. You could point out that FNV's combat is certainly subpar for a shooter, but, in my opinion, the combat still manages to be charming and fun. This game is such a gem, in addition to all the mods you can install.
However, I can point out one major drawback for FNV (and a lot of games made by Obsidian): it is almost impossible to get the maximum enjoyment out of Fallout: New Vegas in a blind playthrough. This is due to the sheer amount of completely missable content; it's unreasonable to assume you'd get to enjoy all FNV has to offer on a first playthrough. FNV is absolutely a game that gets better the more times you play it and the more you learn about it.
