Here's what I love/hate so far

TL;DR: Game isn't perfect and has issues but is lot of fun. I love this game.

What bugs me:

• Really really hate? How the loading screen on Xbone goes black and keeps loading for a lot longer but they remove the on screen cards. Hey you jerks, I was reading those! Oh and long loading screens but I understand loading full zones can get tricky.

• How my ranged characters forget they are ranged characters while not in tactical mode. C'mon! This and the AI/difficulty doesn't scale with boss difficulty which leads to some frustration. It took me a while to figure I was being wiped by level 13 mobs in the fallow mire. O_O

• Closing / Disrupting rifts while they are awkwardly high right over me. Poor design.

• In about 20 odd hours, the game's crashed 3 times but every single time I didn't have to play more than a few minutes to get back on track (auto save is very good).

What irks me a little bit:

• Not having healers. Still getting over this. 8 pots isn't enough for first time players.

• Graphical glitches - not game-breaking but slightly detract from the enjoyment.

• Not being able to remap controls. Who the hell thought of LS to gallop? Why not LT? Or let us configure the controls.

• Doesn't irk me personally but the game is pretty brutal to new comers (including the lore, the background and the control system).

• Having to drag myself back to the war council to do stuff on a table is a bit annoying.

What's cool:

• Hats. Hats are cool. Very cool.

• Lord Woolsley. He's super cool. Also very orange. Orange is cool.

• Landscapes are super-mega-ultra-freaking awesome. I was slumming it out in Hinterlands complaining about how it's sunny and bright all the time till I switched zones.

• Scout Harding. I love you.

• Keeper Pentaghast is the bomb. Don't tell Scout Harding.

• It's huge. The world and the regions are incredibly huge (not Skyrim huge but I wasn't expecting Skyrim or ES here). Also very very pretty.

• Skyrim had it but allowing you to name your own creations. I christen my new greatsword Come with me now

• Your own castle that develops over time. Ultra. Mega. Awesome.

• The web-tool, the dragons keep thing, that thing is cool. Pretty nice.

I was playing DA:O in preparation for DA:I and there are elements from that game I miss sorely but in general I think Bioware has done a great job in DA:I. I accept your apology for DA:II Bioware.
