played this the minute it came out. obnoxious decisions from upper management, such as the forced inclusion of an unfun co-op vs. AI horde mode and the war table taking upwards of three real life hours to resolve sometimes, mar this game. the crafting components in this game don't have the sort of old RPG charm of DA:O, and instead it feels like a big pointless chore to have to constantly traipse around a semi-open world waiting for one of the points at which Big Rock #2 will respawn so you can make varric's crossbow a bit better. writing is still phenomenal. still worth playing. just maybe get the mod that forces all war table missions to automatically resolve.
