I'm just gonna list this in a convenient bullet-point format for my own sake, so I can go to bed.
-It's super gorgeous.
-The inquisitor is super blank slate and I hate that, but at least s/he's voice acted.
-The combat seems like a nice blend of 1&2, though I keep swinging at nothing when enemies back away.
-Picking new skills as the means of increasing your attributes seems... weird? But I think I like it? There does seem like very few skills (at least for warrior), but I guess I don't have any prestige classes yet.
-I... don't get the story at all thus far. Stuff seems to just happen and the voice acting is a bit bland. But I'm only an hour in.
-Cassandra and Varric are great.
-The "guard system" seems pretty legit.
-You can really feel the Skyrim influence. The much wider maps are really cool without feeling empty. Jumping in a Dragon Age game is still weirding me out.
-I think if this game came out 4 years ago it would've been an MMO. Maybe that'll be the next step. It's not even a bad thing, but just the way it plays and feels, I'm strongly reminded of WoW or something.
Overall, I like it so far. Not immediately blown away but excited for more tomorrow.
