Haters gonna hate
Trolls gonna Troll..
I wonder what great story the peoples talking about.
The "get 50 Suvereigns!" part?
Or the "no matther what you do the Qunari attack for no reason" part?
Or the "We cant talk about the Subjekt and we will die all" part?
besides the story dont even make sence. A Farmerboy from a small village kills 10000 Darkspawn (without genloks), Dragons (arent they supposed to be rare?) Demons (They made the wrong ones stronger lore wise), Humans (wow they got alot free space in Kirkwall fpr Fereldeners after you killed more Humans as the City has population), and bloodmages on every Corner (How did the Mage circle managed it if every mage you meet turns into a Bloodmage?)
So Why? Why can he do all that? Is there a reason behind it? If every Village boy can do that why they need an Army? Or Templers or Grey wardens? Even His little Brother Carver can kill 100 creeps with an cloth shirt on as a warrior.. I wonder if he laugh at every Soldier with an Armor on. "Lol you noobs you need an armor! You just need to one hit them so they are no harm to you! " 
The Peoples you got in a group.. Fenris hates every mage. Even if Anders heals him 1000 times and safed his ass 1000 times he still hates him. If you are a mage yourselve he can be the best buddy and even get a romance with him but if you spare a helpless, harmless, mage who did never anything wrong he freaks out.. yeah makes sence..
Anders is the same just the opposite.
And Isabella .. well maybe thats a, little boys wet dream. A Girl with big boobs and no pants want to jump in your bed after you say 3 words to her.. But thats the unrealistic Group member Bioware ever made... i dont even get startet about the "armor" she is going to join the fight... If i would be 12 years old.. i might like that kind of Charakters.. well no i think i would already think im to old for that crap at 12 
It is a great story if you don't just see it as a list of quests that need to be done. If you look deeper than that, you'll see why Hawke has to do some of these quests.
The overriding arc of Act 1 is to ensure your family is safe and secure by providing for them financially. Thats the point of the 50 Sovereigns quest. Gaining wealth can restore the family and would also protect the apostate (you or your sister) from prying eyes.
The Qunari story deals with prejudice and extremism. The Qunari have done little to antagonise people but are still hated by some simply for being. It shows the lengths people go to in the name of their beliefs. The Qun attack because their society demands it. One of their number was slain by fanatics. Revenge is reason enough. . When someone is consumed with revenge and devout to doctrine, I'd imagine its pretty hard to talk them out of it.
Not to mention they see Kirkwall and its inhabitants as a stagnant mess without order.Perhaps another reason for the attack is to install their order.
The Mage/Templar situation was tense to begin with. Throughout the years, it had simmered until it reaches boling point. Both sides have been polarised and all that is needed is a catalyst. When that is provided, anger makes any type of control extremely difficult.
How is this story any less believable than a human/dwarf/elf who drinks a magic potion and can do all the same things as well as save a nation and overthrow a tyrant???
As for the characters, I think they are as believable as those from Origins. Merrill is the epitomy of looks can be deceiving. Isabela is a pirate skank and thats how she behaves. Fenris has been enslaved for mages almost his entire life so is bound to carry resentment against them (stereotyping). Anders has been blinded and corrupted by his merging with Justice.
Origins, almost everyone was as they appears (Leliana being the exception). There is no surprise or hidden element to any of them. They are as seen.
Thats not to say I dislike the characters from Origins, quite the opposite in fact. I was delighted with the cameos in the second game. But because the companions in the second game are different, doesnt make them superior or inferior.
