PC, Mouse and Keyboard and other complaints:
The Bad:
1. Where are the real tactics from previous games? The current AI is not done well enough to negate the loss of customized tactics.
2. Camera Modes. I have found I must stay in action mode all the time. Switching between camera's is cumbersome. The iso camera points down, it does not zoom out enough and is buggy. It gets stuck on/in things far too many times. I gave up on it. Having to hold down a key or button the entire time in either mode needs to go as well.
3.Mouse cursor is too small and the color is not good. I find myself pausing way more than needed do to *busy* combat fireworks and terrain. Many areas are dirt/sand and the cursor just disappears.
4. Sometimes the cursor disappears in dialogue usually when one or more cutscenes happen in a row. It's not often but it's not so rare I can dismiss it easily.
5. Not impressed by the combat choices. Mages are lacking a lot, KE possible exception, the rest of the specailizations are underwhelming. Rogue archers don't really have a good fit except with the possible articifer spec.
For warriors champion is solid but the rest are either not impressive or too *busy* (ie., templar spec). Regular mage spells/trees have been streamlined too much methinks. Necromancer is quest breakingly buggy too.
6. Limited ability slots needs to go for SP. I don't care about MP. I was planning on trying it with friends later but not now. Having 7 slots available is a terrible idea. (Mark of the rift should have had its own special slot somewhere).
7. 2 potions per party member, 3 with upgrade is not really good for some people.
8. Timed content is bad. Many in my circle of friends really REALLY detest timed things. The winter palace could have been so great but alas
9. Body models in the races need work I think. Now I loved the skyhold outfit only wished I could recolour the parts of it. However then I tried other races. I abandoned my female and male dalish when I got to skyhold. The cutscences played and they looked wrong.
They are near skeletal, too skinny. I can't take them serious for a warrior or even a rogue archer/dw. No muscle! (or curves for female) The heads seem out of proprotion to the rest of the body, the male is the worse. It's like he has no shoulders, his arms sink in the sides and his breasts were larger than his shoulders! Yes, I'm talking about the male.
The human female noble could also use some muscles to the arm. Noodle arms do not make a good RP experience for warriors/rogues. The body models for male human, female Qunari and female dwarf look good in armor or skyhold outfit. Maybe allow armor option to be worn in skyhold. Would help the elf players I think since I doubt the body models will be revisited.
10. Hairstyles are not good at all. Where are my braids for my dwarves! I just don't like 20 types of bald, shaved, half shaved, sideburns for my PC's. The qunari have it the worse. I played a hornless one because it was so bad. And then I still couldn't wear a helm! argh.
11. CC lighting. It is still bad. We need better lighting. My first female I abandoned due to makeup looking ok in CC lighting, then stepping outside to look up at breach only to see she looks like a clown. Just ugh.
12. Need to add a store dlc that sells all the schematics in the game at extreme prices. There was this one t3 bow schematic I got in 1 out of 15 playthroughs that I loved. Also some games have gotten no or only two/three mage/rogue/warrior rings drop for the entire game, its like it picks one class for the entire playthrough and says no you can't have any! The rng in currently cruel. sniff
13. Need storage!
14. Companions need feather falling buff. Countless times they would fall down a small slope behind me or just appear and of course use a potion to heal. Very bad. Of course when they push me off a cliff is bad too. lol
15. How could I forget this! Please muzzle the camp's requistion officer! She has interupted 4 banters, 1 was an interactive one that I may NEVER see! I get so little banter as-is I feel like I'm exploring the work solo, I don't need less. Thanks.
The Good:
The level designers, writers and artists (except where noted above) should be patted on the back and given raises. Outstanding work. I loved the huge maps, hissing wastes is awesome. Emerald graves is also fantastic except angry rocks area. I even enjoyed the storm coast greatly. I know some people did not do to *no main story* but the areas did have enough story and atmosphere for some of us.
The critters, monsters, armor, weapons all look fantastic. The crafting is loads of fun. The one negative on crafting is my character and team all look like dreamsicle fans later on as all the best upgrades makes us orange and white. ugh
Just a note some of the above *bad* things were not mine, just my circle of friends. Like the potions while I agree with the complaint its not that big a deal for me personally.
I wanted BW and the game to do well. I SPENT several hundred dollars buying the game for family and friends. Guess what? Every single one of them abandoned the game within a week. All PC M+K users. That should say enough. And no I will not play with a controller so those that want to suggest that forget it. Some of my friends do play with controllers on the consoles they own but for RPG's, RTS, TBS etc., is best on PC for us. Which also means with M+K.
I know some things may be fixed with patches but with only a skeleton crew left and everyone pushed to new IP/ME4 I fear DAI won't get the love be it patches/dlc/expansions it deserves.
Just my 2 cents. If you want the entire dollar that will take several days to type up. 
Cheers,
FD
