Everything I was hoping for and more! The first few hours have been amazing and so nostalgic. I even redownloaded pillars of eternity to do a new play through once I need a break from this game or finish it out right. The world and dialogue are so familiar. I can’t wait to play more.

It’s a shame to see one of the best crafted rpg universes fall into the wrong hands. Dragon Age started with one of the most impactful first games that was released with a huge focus on the rpg elements. They spent countless hours building a narrative that would change based on your background and choices. As a long time fan of the series I was astounded to find that the fourth installment has disregarded all the previous elements that made this game successful and focused only on what story they wanted to tell. The quality of writing and world building has been hopelessly lost, and you must question if artificial intelligence wrote half the script. Much of what you see and hear is so forced and unnatural that it breaks you out of the experience time and again. The fan base expected a sequel to expand on the series overall arc and we got someone’s fanfic instead. These “writers” force their own interpretation of the series upon the players with piss poor storytelling and a lack of social interaction themselves. Save your money and just replay the old games. There is no point to get this game. TLDR: This farce of a sequel is tone deaf and blatantly disregards all elements of the series to be successful in any means.
