I was super skeptical, but 6 hours in and the game is crazy fun. Ignore the 1-star reviews, they're from people who parrot what they hear online and did not actually play the game at all (especially since they posted the reviews 2 minutes after the game came out).
Character customization is excellent, easy to make hot and/or unique looking characters. Graphics are superb (great lighting and environments) and performance is flawless on PC. The combat is the best since DA:O, and the skills and progression are fun. Story seems ok so far, not fantastic but not bad. The lore and setting are pure Dragon Age. Also the UI is great, so minimal you can immerse yourself in the game better. No DRM and no microtransactions in this game, either.
