Very fun game, a mix of Dark Soul's setting with Elder Scrolls gameplay. Although there is some jank, it's charming characters and amazing world design shine through to make it one of my favorite RPGs released in the last 10 years. Definitely worth the price tag.

A fun game, with a reputation already tarnished by a bunch of incel nerds whining about inclusivity. Dragon Age has always been progressive, even way back during Origins. The game itself reminds me a lot of Mass Effect 2/3 with semi open but linear missions to progress to new areas. You control your companions the same way too, telling them when to activate certain abilities. Combat is fun, with a lot going on and different ways to attack.

My biggest complaint so far is the lack of previous game's choices carrying through. It's not enough to make the game 0/10 but it is a little disappointing. All in all, if you've enjoyed Bioware's previous games, either Mass Effect or Dragon Age, you'll enjoy this.

They've really come a long way with this game. It's been patched, the newer DLC for it is amazing and they've most recently added more content for the Devil Mythic path(which is all great). One of the best RPGs I've ever played.

I'll throw another positive review into the ring against all the haters. If you like Bethesda games, especially Oblivion, you'll love this game. It has your classic Bethesda jank, but it also has expansive quest lines. Its seriously so easy to get lost in this game and spend hours exploring, or finding some new quest that takes you to another quest on a different planet that get's you a new ship. It's very easy to get lost in the world that you get to decide how to play. It's not a game for every one, but the major complaints are overblown, such as the loading screens. Most loading screens are less than 2 seconds on my SSD. It's seriously not a big deal at all, but then again I remember playing Skyrim on the 360 with minute long loading screens. Get this game if you love Bethesda, don't let streamers and the hate bandwagon turn you off from trying it.

Also, the funniest thing about the negative reviews is that they either have 2 hours or 150 lol. Let that show you how stupid their review really is.

Its so funny reading the do not recommend reviews. They say this game is bog standard fantasy, that the lore is uninteresting, that the world is empty and boring. Yeah I get it bro you played the game for half an hour and checked out. If you like Elder Scrolls but want something a bit different this is the game for you. The Lore is SUPER INTERESTING actually if you actually listen to the Lorestones, read notes, listen to quest givers. It reminds me a lot of Oblivion. Yeah the game isn't your 'deep' 'dark' 'brooding' fantasy of some games but hey maybe not every game needs to be that way. This game is high fantasy fun with a hundred quests+. I love all the different faction questlines and how it integrates Celtic myth like no other game. Seriously try this game, you won't regret it.

Do you like creating custom teams in Stellaris? This game is the closest I've seen to a similar system, allowing you to create an entire fantasy universe of teams, nations and factions. I spent the first 4 hours of my playtime designing teams based off of my own homebrew DND world. With 12 teams and a massive map it feels like I've recreated my world in a video game! Combat feels good and the graphics look great. I've had no problems with performance with a 6900xt and 5900x, and zero crashes so far 30 turns in. Seriously give this game a chance you will not regret it.

Do NOT buy this game if you have an AMD card, your textures and screens will flicker, and hair colors will be green. Many people have reported this and the devs have never patched it even almost a year after release. Save your money.

This remaster is such a joke. There's a clear memory leak that happens 20 mins of playing on the campaign map where your game will come to a 1-20fps crawl and the only way to "fix" it is restarting the game. And then 20 minutes later it happens again. They sold a broken game don't waste your money. Maybe in a few years it'll be decent.

Early Access Review
Best survival game on Steam, and every major update completely changes the game for the best!
