Long time fan of this franchise and I'm happy. I've almost completed my second playthrough and have had a blast all over again. The combat is so much fun, I always run a mage and at first I felt like I was aggro-ing every enemy under the sun and struggling, but it became godly and so much fun. No wonder the chantry hates us lol.
The companions are wonderful, especially after doing their personal quests- you see a lot of growth in each of them.
The absolute icing on the cake was all of act 3- I was on the edge of my seat, I cried, and even felt genuine anger at Solas. He's my favorite character and I'm an apologist for him but damn- Gareth David Lloyd deserves an award for his voice acting.
They dev team did so well with that act, I can't believe they managed to scrap the previous one and completely redo it in only a few months before launch. To me, its not a perfect game, but I love it all the same. Going back in for more codex entries now, bye
