Pros:

• Decent main campaign story
  
• Excellent side quests
  
• Best combat in any BioWare game
  
• Best character creator in any BioWare game
  
• Emmrich
  
• Manfred

Cons:

• Only THREE of your choices in previous DA games matter
  
• Unless your Inquisitor is a Solasmancer, your Inquisitor is a bit soulless. Feels like Solavellan is being pushed as canon
  
• Doesn't often feel as dark and gritty as previous titles
  
• Don't get to explore much of Minrathous
  
• I was excited to play a Shadow Dragon elf, fighting Tevinter slavery and whatnot, but the negative sides of the Imperium (slavery, racism, homophobia (at least in high society)) aren't really mentioned

Currently on my third NG+ playthrough, so definitely enjoying this game a lot! The combat is immaculate, and I have no notes or complaints there - I did hate the Trickster vocation initially but once I got my head around it, even that has become fun enough.
The story is a bit odd - some parts and uses of particular characters are not great, some parts massively suffer due to Japanese to English mistranslation, but overall once you understand the original intent (before translation) and actually take a minute to think the plot beats through, it's really enjoyable.
The performance isn't great but I played around with my settings and can get a stable 40ish fps in towns, and 60 fps outside of towns. Hopefully there will be an update addressing these issues but it hasn't really hindered my enjoyment of the game at all.
The graphics are great and I have no complaints there at all.
The character creation is incredible - definitely my favourite character creator in a game so far.
Microtransactions are scummy af, but considering how relatively easy it is to obtain most of the mtx items, I just don't care that much.

GOTY 2024

My favourite Lego game is still the Star Wars Original Trilogy, but this one comes a pretty close second! I've not been a big fan of most recent Lego games, as I feel they don't usually capture the charm of the older ones. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and the semi-open-world is really fun to explore! I'm not too keen on them constantly releasing new (expensive) character packs, but it's whatever - chances are there are mods to give you the characters you want anyway.

Never been so scared in my life.

Been playing this since Beta, and probably have several thousand hours play time in it. Definitely the best story-based MMO out there, but it does feel like there has been a bit of a content drought in the last year or so, with new story content only taking a handful of hours to get through. If you've not played the game before or haven't in a long time, there's a lot of really great content to play through. All of the base game class stories are incredible, and the expansion stories are really great too. Personally, I would say that the best story will come from playing the Imperial Agent's class story as a Chiss, however the Eternal Empire content will feel a lot better playing a Force-sensitive class (I recommend Sith Sorcerer the most). One thing I really like that WoW doesn't have is tactical Flashpoints (dungeons), where you can do dungeons as any role/spec without the need for the traditional Healer/Tank/DPS trinity.
