This game doesn’t even compare to what a good game that was Origins but 2 (I personally call it Exodus) is still a fine game albeit a rushed and sometimes buggy game but it still has some charm to it with its companions and even the story in act 3 that is interesting that will jumpstart Inquisition but that’s for another day.
So my problems with this game is that it is very rushed and it shows specifically in act 1 where they reuse a lot of map assets to different areas and it can be boring after a while when playing through the whole game. While discussing the problems it goes without saying that the game was a huge let down because hype really killed this game with its limited scope and focus on Kirkwall being the main area compared to Fereldan from Origins due to it’s rushed nature and with the hype that was origins even I feel let down from this game and I change my opinion of it a few years ago when replaying it to find my self seeing that Exodus is a diamond in the rough because you can see the huge potential that this game has and on release it failed to see that potential and ruin many people’s expectations
Ok so the positives of this game is that I personally love everyone in this game from Hawke to their siblings and the many companions like Varric, Merrill, Fenris and Anders (I love him even if he’s a terrorist ❤️) Isabella, Aveline and Sebastian are great companions and each with their own story that honestly the friendly and rivalry mechanic that this game has makes their dialog options more diverse and personally I would have Siblings, Isabella, Varric, Fenris, Aveline and Sebastian as Friends while Merrill and Anders as Rivals as personally they make the game work a lot better but that’s my opinion and while the story was just meh at best till act 3 I think that this game is still very serviceable to players but highly and I mean HIGHLY recommend to be prepared about the issues of this game because I can say for certain that it did caused me to stop playing the game at points but still a worthwhile experience to play it
