Right just finished the game. This is probably the quickest ever I've finished a full game....and certainly the longest I've sat on my PC in a go.
Anyway.....I don't know what to think. They've made a lot of changes and in my eyes its lost a lot of charm that the previous game had. I mean I loved talking to companions, and they had a ton of dialogue. So even in very long and tedious dungeons like the Deep Roads, I kept going because I knew I'll be rewarded with loads of interesting dialogue.
Now however the chats are far and few in between and I've been literally jumping with joy when I see a quest about going and talking to a companion. Specially considering that most other quests need one to negotiate through the same old dungeons/areas with a very uncooperative camera.
While the story is rather haphazard, it has its moments of awesome.

I really liked the Act 2 quests about running back and forth between the Qunari and the Viscount trying to make peace. And the one with that Qunari mage.....Katojen or whatever his name was.....IMO the Qunari quests are amongst the best in this game.
Other moments worth mentioning are the climax to the Deep Roads quest where the sibling falls. The quest in which one finds Zevran (Isabela has some great dialogue with him) and the quest where Hawke's mother dies. I mean it might be a cheap shot trying to add drama by killing off the mother of an already lonely hero, but it works quite well nonetheless.

There are ofcourse bugs, with the import system. Found a few reference in the game about decisions I never took. And the combat system...well...I've come to realise I don't buy these games for the combat at all....I find it OK. Can live with it.
The ending was....unsatisfactory. Cliffhanger ending is one thing, and leaving a story half finished is another.

When she pops out of that amulet, did it remind anyone else of Voldemort?

All in all I liked the last game better. Progress in design and stuff is important but trying to fix that which is not broken is not a good idea.
