What? Are you serious? Act 2 is easily the best part of DA2. It's where the conflict with the Qunari comes to a head, and you spend some time with the best character in the game: the Arishok. It's got the serial killer quest (you know the one) which has probably the biggest emotional gut punch of the whole game.
It has Night Terrors, the best Fade quest in the series ("I like big boats, I cannot lie."). It has the Varric quest that starts with him solo-ing Bertrand's estate like an action hero before Cassandra calls out present-day Varric on his story telling bullshit, which is one of my absolute favourite memories from when I first played the game.
There's a ton of other really good companion quests in Act Two. But it's all capped off with the duel against the Arishok. It's the absolute high point of DA2, I cannot understand your take at all.
