I certainly did. Its why I'm playing DAO again, to see how the different decisions I make is going to effect DA2. And I've got to disagree with Gamemako, I think its great, though It'll be long time before I attempt it at Nightmare difficulty.

Playing it on Nightmare at all is not a good idea. You'll be happier having never tried. You can do absolutely everything in the game in 30 hours on Normal. It will take at least twice as long on Nightmare because you spend all day trying to kill things. Enemies have maybe 5 times as much health on Nightmare, so the hordes who exploded all around you on Normal just keep on taking hits. The dodgy mechanics which made little difference on Normal come back with a vengeance. On normal, if that assassin magically disappeared on you absorbing your attacks and sh*t, it was little more than an annoyance. You would just turn around and splatter him in one shot when he reappeared and dealt 1/8th of your health bar in damage. On Nightmare, he absorbs that shot, reappears and one-hits mages and rogues, and has enough HP that you'll literally need 100x damage multipliers to kill him. The last boss of Act 2 has like 75,000 HP and uses potions.

Excellent.  I did get a little way into it and then I 
realised I forgot a Codex entry and couldn't go back and get it (not 
game breaking I know) so I started over.  My character looks better this
 time too, plus my sister is erm... hotter. 

I used the default Hawkes for my first two imports (each gender), though the third I made a custom Hawke whose family looked downright silly. Behold: Rasta-Carver!
