You know, everything
@Veleda said about the world being MMO ish is 100 percent true, and yet I'm still enjoying myself and liking the game. There's not much communicating while traveling, but there seems to be plenty back at base, though not that much of it is all that interesting honestly. I like talking with Cassandra though, and being rude as possible to Leliana while she bitches and moans about the maker, LOL.
I don't know, I guess this game awakened my inner OCD with all the random stuff on the maps. Same thing happened with assassins creed but I didn't mind it. Generally I really hate MMOish things, but don't mind it here. I guess it's because I enjoy the combat and dont have a problem with the tactical camera like everyone else. Probably because I never experienced DA: O's tactical camera on PC, so this is actually an improvement for me.
And coming from console to high end PC, I'm admittedly pretty charmed by the visuals. Liking my character I think also plays a role, so if someone else wasn't able to make the person they wanted, I could understand disliking the character creation. I wasn't able to make exactly what I wanted either. The beard's also not really where I want it to be exactly, and I'm hoping some mods will come in for that.
But, just with the busy work, fighting and reading, I'm liking it. Got my ass handed to me by this pair of rage demon bosses on hard in a rift, and had to retreat and wait till I leveled up some more. Which never happened for me on Origins. It is easy to be overwhelmed by everything on screen if you're not careful. Wasn't like that for me until I started discovering stronger enemies in different situations. But that just encourages me to be more careful. Still enjoying it.
