I'm on PC, 6 hours into the game and so far I am really engaged into the game. The only thing I have found annoying is the lack of auto attack on normal combat. I know that it works on the tactical camera though, I just need to get used to it.
The areas are pretty big (at least the Hinterlands), but frankly I don't think that's a problem at all. It's something I have wanted since DA:O, and the fact that you can jump around makes the exploration much more satisfying. The loot scanner is fine by me, though it would be nice if it affected a larger area.
One issue that I have is that the game doesn't allow me to rebind keys to my extra mouse buttons (I have a Mamba, and in both DA:O and DAII I got used to having my select full party and hold position keys on my side buttons). Is this an issue with the game, or am I doing something wrong?
