So, I've finished DA:I then. Of course, my attempt to play a non-Andrastian elf-archer was constantly being coerced toward 'faith' in the shemlin false prophet, and that annoyed me.
The thing that struck me was that the female characters were invariably the most interesting. The menfolk were mostly pretty bland and uninteresting, but the female characters more than made up for it: Sera, Morrigan, Leliana. Heh, and I didn't like Leliana in DA:O. I thought she was thin then.
The only interesting male character was Varric, but he's a dwarf. And a writer. Of course he had to be interesting. Solas, Cullen, that Gray Warden I can't remember the name of now because he was never in my party much... The Iron Bull... They were all, in my opinion, pretty cliché. Actually, I thought the Iron Bull's lieutenant would make a more interesting character, but he only sat in the inn and drank all the time.
The story was pretty meh … it was a rehash of Elder Scrolls Oblivion, in my opinion. But getting there was fine, and fun. I can only say that this time, apart from some flaws, BioWare did a good job.
Edit: Now, it's game on to see if CD Project Red manages to top DA:I, considering they're going for somewhat of the same thing with Witcher 3.
