I don’t know why people are getting it in their heads that everything wrong with DA2 was Hepler’s fault. David Gaider was still the lead writer, and most of the game’s shortcomings were due to the rushed schedule and gear shift to focus on world building rather than a single cohesive story.

Hepler’s biggest contribution to Dragon Age lore were the dwarves, that was the area that she was regarded as the authority on. If you had fun playing the dwarf commoner origin, talking to people in Orzammar, or undertaking the Anvil of the Void quest, your Dragon Age experience was positively effected by the writing of Jennifer Hepler.
