I don't accept any of the disrespect this game gets.
For me it's the must fun among all DA games because it just feels very dynamic and alive.
I don't really care about the repeatable dungeons, you spent like 3 mins in each anyway. The world design is very on point, it has this dark fantasy vibe connected with poverty and ugliness, very tangible
I adore that the plot is created mostly by your companions and their awful decisions, I love all of them because it's just so fun to feel backstabbed by your pixel friends all the time (except Varric, I'd die for him any time, my ultimate bro). Also 6 years of my Hawke being rejected by her love interest?? That's what I search for in romance.
Hawke is probably my favourite main character in any rpg with customisable protag EVER, her (I played Marian) character is pure gold I wish I could be like her or also maybe marry her
