It pains me to say that although I liked the game a lot, this isn't much of a Dragon Age game. Sure it looks and sounds like it. But there are barely any player choices that actually impact the game. There isn't much meaning to your companion's feelings toward you unless you want to do all their quests. Only like 3 choices matter to the game. The story is cool but it is more of a novel than an interactive game. The combat is really fun but can get tedious near late game. The character creator is pretty solid at least. This is more of a 7/10 no name fantasy title with a decent budget rather than a full-fledged Dragon Age game. I think Bioware played it too safe to be honest. It wasn't because of DEI or whatever nonsense people talk about, rather they didn't take risks and played it way too cautious and was spent in development hell for like 10 years without any real vision of where Dragon Age was needing to go to.

TL;DR: Not a bad fantasy game, just not a good dragon age game.
