I have some strong opinions surrounding this game. Those being: the world in which we play is extremely open with the main goal being to fetch resources that take forever to find, there are too many tasks in this game like seriously. You're a person on an important quest to figure out why you have the ability to close rifts, and you need to stop a bad guy from attempting to gain this power for his own benefit. A fairly vanilla story, and yet I'm stuck finding logging camps, clearing areas for military, collecting shards, and other seemingly pointless tasks. If I were someone who had such an importance to protect people and close rifts, I WOULD NOT have time to waste on such nonsense and menial labors. Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 are my favorites. This game is just too much in my opinion.
