As someone who started playing the Dragon Age series in order for the first time in 2024, I just can't recommend this. This game has got to be the most grindy padded out slog of an RPG I've ever played. I would compare it to a Ubisoft cookie-cutter open world collectathon but it would be disrespectful to even Ubisoft. Its even worse that unlike andromeda they force you to complete many of the endless fetch quests to even unlock the main quests and gate the main content with soft level caps.

Its especially frustating because the main quests themselves are not bad at all, its just so much BS you have to slog through to even experience them. I will attempt to finish it because I have already finished DA:O and DA:2, but I'm not sure my mental health will hold out long enough.
