I'm not a fan of this game...it's streamlining the RPG format to an extreme in my opinion. It feels like Bioware has taken any semblence of customization out of Dragon Age, and is steering it towards an action game.
To quote someone else:

It's going to be funny watching people praise how "open world" the game is despite the game keeping you basically in one city and the surrounding area for the vast majority of it, and you can't talk to any NPC unless they give you an actual quest or sell you something. And the storytelling is atrocious. Characters have no reason to be around you, time passes instantly and new characters show up with no preamable or introduction and everyone mentions things that seemed to have happened during some time jump that is never made clear. It's like an RPG version of The Room.
Your party can't change anything equipment-wise unless it's part of the story or I guess you can also find full suits of armor to change them. But whatever drops you find are for the main character and if you aren't the right class then oops you get nothing. Hopefully you aren't a mage like me because no one in town drops anything for you ever.
And talk about streamlined. Quests are like 2 minutes long. There's no adventuring. When you need to go to an area for something, say, an ambush at Sundermount, you go out to the map and an icon shows up that says SUNDERMOUNT AMBUSH SITE and you go there and just fight the guys that are there (it also has to tell you the name of the quest associated with that location on the map) and then oops you're done. Nothing to look for anywhere.

I guess I agree with people who think this is more like a new Mass Effect than a new Dragon Age. I'm okay with taking out some of the tedious RPG elements that no one wants (hello Herbalism) but sometimes that's taken a bit too far.
