I love what they did with Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts, 'twas refreshing to have a main quest that does not primarily consist of slaughtering.
What I really dislike is the side quest system. Dialogues without cut scenes and boring fetch quests galore do not keep me engaged. Some bigger quests with cut scenes would have been nice.
And the stupid shards deserve a mention, they nearly made me rage quit - but that's not criticism, just frustrated whining.
+ Much better line deliveries than the past BioWare games.
- Lack of epic moments. No build up, no tension, no actual villain (Corypheus wasn't that threatening, all he did was fail and fail).
Liked: Race options and how it was dealt with throughout the game
Disliked: Too much of the world felt hollow
I liked all the ways in which the world personalised itself around me, for decisions both in previous games and this one.
I disliked the secondary locations for being too large without the quality of content to justify it. Too much MMO style stuff going on there.
Good: The Story, Companions and their Side Quests.
Bad: Beige PJs & Not being able to displace Fiona to ally with the Mages without her inept leadership
just one?
Like: Dialogue with the interesting companions. I would often leave Skyhold for new area, and hurry right back to talk some more.
Dislike: This one is close between side quests and combat. So, right now, I would say all the filler side quests. There were too many which plays against the immersion factor, for me at least. I am gonna skip most of them next time.
I notice a lot of people dislike the combat. I played on normal and thought the game was really easy. The only tactical thing one had to do in combat was pause and move your range characters from melee area. If you kept them from running into danger, then your whole party would live easy. Suicide was the biggest enemy. Also, the camera zoom was horrible.
My new game I am playing on hard with friendly fire turned on and with the camera zoom out mod installed. Yay! So, time will tell whether combat will get better.
Good: The expansions to the lore, the very well written companions
Bad: The overabundance of fetch quests. The bad tactical camera and obligation to use it for auto-attacks on PC.

I can name both in one word. Vivienne. I love to hate that Orleasian pompous arse. Wonderfully written character that just pisses me off practically every time she opens her mouth.
liked the story.
hated how they did specialization how come those quests are the only ones with out a marker i mean like really put a marker.
Because hardly anyone else is mentioning it...
Good: The open world, it's about time!
Bad: Halamsharal (Winter Palace) - don't even get me started.
Good: The rich world of Thedas
Bad: Terrible LIs for gay relationships.
Liked: The Inquisition.
Disliked: The Filler.
Good: Your companions were an absolute highlight for me. They were exceptionally well written and the voice acting was great!
Bad: The Inquisitor sucked ass. My cat has more personality than all the voices I had to choose from.
The good:
More bang for your buck. Plenty of activities to keep you busy. The dupe glitch takes a load off collecting crafting materials. I hope they don't patch it.
The bad:
No storage chests, too many inventory management screens and the small button prompts for activating buy / sell, armor crafting table. I don't understand why you can't just open up store menus by talking to the vendor.
No body type character customizations. Compared to Mass Effect 3, the NPC art style sucks. It's like Bioware decided to go the 'no sex appeal' route with it. Part of the SJW movement I guess.
Mostly ugly NPC's and romance options. I still don't get why Vivienne could not be a romance option. When she asks 'what's in it for me?', my inquisitor could have responded, 'I'm the Herald Of Andraste baby! Why be someone else's mistress when you could be my queen if you play your cards right?'
Loved: The companions and their respective quests/conversations
Hated: Most everything else.
liked cullen romance
disliked to many fetch quests
Liked :1) Cassandra scene where she smiles for the 1st time.She made me work for it , like damn woman why you no love me.! 2) Dorian fit in so well , i mean you wouldn't know he was gay , his sexuality didn't define him , it was great, he felt natural, with good writting.
Disliked : 1) Lack of female antagonists , like seriously besides 1 main female villain all the bad guys were just that guys. Can we please put some focus in interesting female Villains? Was hopping Flemeth would fill that role but alas. 2)Vivienne never knew i could hate the word Darling soooooo much , and i had high hopes for her being a LI . 3) how far apart your companions were... especially in Sky hold. 4) A certain Dwarf scout not being a LI , Bio why you hate Dwares so much? also lack of Qunari Female LI.
Liked: The characters, music and the environments were top notch.
Disliked: Invisible walls, the hair choices, fetch quests and the fact that I'm forced to wear a onesie in Skyhold.
The Good -
The advisors made it feel like I was running an actual group, and the War Missions had a realistic flavor to them. They also had clear and defined personalities
My choices having direct consequences
The epic feel of the Adamant Fortress mission
Talking to people and hearing about the help I gave them
The music was flavorful and rich
Engaging and rich supporting cast - From the gentle warmth of Mother Giselle to the hilarity of Bull's Chargers, to the nobility of Ser Barras and even Fiona's genuine regret.
The villains, for the most part, being treated as people who make bad decisions. Servis was just out for his paycheck, the Sahrnia mayor panicked in a crisis, Calpernia had noble intentions, even Samson was ensuring the Templars that were dying had all the painkillers they needed. But still keeping a real monster or two to remind us we're the good guys, like Denam or Eramound.
Florianne's boss fight - Part of me wants to make her my jester just to see what it would be like, but then I can't have that amazing fight or sentencing the box to community service.
Champions of the Just - That was a fun mission, and the Envy Demon was the cherry on top
The Bad -
The side-quests mostly consisted of "Show up here, right click, maybe bring an item"
The prestige class mission was incredibly tedious
Putting an Ocularam right next to a very high-levelled dragon when the Oasis itself is a low level place. And the damn thing is awake, no less
Dorian Pavus - The most cliched character in DA yet
Cullen lacking a sidequest like Leliana's quest in Valence or Josephine's House of Repose
Not having an option to punch Briala in the mouth - Seriously, I can't reconcile Celene and Gaspard, but kick out that witch?
The lack of King Alistair/Queen Anora. They needed more.
Good thing: Great writing.
Bad thing: Horrible side quests.
