I like it too.
DAI is the first RPG I have ever tried. I am 36 hours in and playing the deluxe discs on an XBOX360. I too am really enjoying the game. There are so many different options in the game, I can do what I want when I want--battle, make weapons, run around and see the views, dig into the storyline, get to know the characters. Its great. I'm not one to give 5 stars out but you could certainly add me to the currently satisfied and happy column.
I had one complete loss of audio on game start at the Storm Coast. I resolved it by going back to a hard save. It was distressing when it happened but easy to fix, so no lasting bitterness.
Currently my only beefs are:
1. No decent hair options for women.
2. You can travel directly to places by clicking on the little tent?--yeah that would have been nice to know via one of the tips cards.
3. I JUST figured out about two days ago that I could actually see a map of the land and where I was in it. I have spent a whole lot of time running around wondering where I was, lol. I know it says Quest Map, der. But I thought that was the name for the sunburst of options, I didn't realize it was clickable!
4. Tactile camera was introduced in the midst of being shown a whole lot in the intro. I promptly forgot how to get to it, and when I finally found it again via bing, (NOT the guide) it is still confusing.
That's it for the beefs. Its a massive game but very enjoyable. I expect at the rate I am going to get at least 100 hours out of it. $60 for 100 hours of enjoyment is IMO a good deal.
