• The combat is incredibly enjoyable, making the minute-to-minute gameplay fun. They use a blend of the combat in DA: 2 and the combat in DA: 1. You could play the entire game using the tactical system and love it.
• The smaller quests feel like you're contributing to something larger and meaningful, and the larger quests are even better.
• The story and decisions that you have to make are Pineappling intense, and there isn't really any "perfect" solution. It comes down to what you feel is right to do
• And lastly, the companions and characters of the game itself feel and act alive. They're written so well, it's really quite impressive.

BioWare has created terrifying universes where creators wish ill of their creation; there are few things I find more terrifying. Fear arises from the unknown — as per Alien: Isolation — but here what's terrifying is based on exactly what is known: God is coming to kill us.

ALL OF LIFE IS TOLD ITS CREATOR WISHES IT TO END

The futility of it, the apparent impossibility of response, would make me numb. I could never understand why Shepard bothered, why she fought so hard and so long to take on what, in retrospect, seems ridiculously overwhelming. I can't understand the point of living in Dragon Age's world where my own Creator wishes me ill.

Not knowing if there is a higher power is preferable to knowing for sure one exists, and that this all-powerful being wants to set fire to everything they created.

BioWare should be recognized for creating some of the most terrifying worlds in gaming. Worlds where the odds, not to mention the deities, are stacked against us.
