I loved the game when I started playing and thought it was a GOTY.
After a couple of weeks I started to hate it though.
The combat system is awful. The tactical mode is incredibly tedious, and you can't even escape it on PC. It only gets worse as you get better characters with more skills and the AI has no fucking clue how to use them.
I left the Hinterlands, assuming stuff would get better since that was what everyone said.
It didn't get better. All the other areas are roughly the same.
There are some well-written quests, but to get through them you have to jump through so many tedious collect-a-thon hoops.
I've been playing on hard, since that's what I've always done in Bioware games, and this is the first time I've thought "fuck it, I'll put it on easy to get through all the tedious crap". Playing on hard just means you'll be doing a fuckload of backtracking to restock on potions.
Some of the companion characters are good, but again the game drops the ball on the character quests. I was expecting stuff like ME2, where the companion quests would be a really big deal and allow some really good storytelling.
You don't get that. There is better storytelling in the random pary banter than in the actual quests, which just seem to set up some "choose A or B" endings because no-one really cares (but choose A if you want some sexytime).
I spend most of my time looking for icons on a map or trying to hunt through the awful inventory/crafting system.
It's still sat on my PS4, about 50% complete. I occasionally think about trying to finish it for the story, but there's always something better to do.
