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.
But then, how much control did you have in DA:O?

Winning the game requires completing the plan the devs lay out for you at the start of Act 2 - the amount of choice you have at the end is about the same as Mass Effect 3 or DA2, the difference is you have an option to make you feel like you won.
