With this game Dragon age became one of my favorite game franchises, its not as good as the first one but i really enjoyed the 80h that took me to finish the game and both DLC's. The game expands the lore of the first one and add's interesting new characters to the cast(some appear in DA2). I liked the explore every single map and doing most of the side content. The combat was ok i guess, i preffered the style of the original one but they kinda mix the strategical gameplay of the DA1 with the more action orientated of the DA2 and the result was fun through out the whole game. I really loved the game and together with DAO its one of the best and favorite games i played.
