This.
Dragon Age has been moving on a very different path from the one it started on ever since Mike Laidlaw took over. A more guided and cinematic experience. And somehow while I liked that in Mass Effect to some extent, it never sat well with me in DA.
Either way I intend to judge DA3 on its own merits because, like I said, I no longer hold and hope for a return to DAO style game, and I've made my peace with that.
