Yes, the game reuses areas constantly. Yes, the game's scope is smaller than Origins. And, yes, it sucks that I can't be the elf of my dreams, but goddamn do I love this game. The nostalgic value of this entry is through the roof and I have played it more than any of the other entries of combined. It has, in my opinion, the best party members - besides Fenris - and the most engaging and interesting storyline of the series. Even with Inquisition tapdancing all over II's grave with its abrupt redirection in storyline, on its own II serves as a wonderful setup for the III we never got.
