Everything I've heard about this game so far seems like an improvement, but will no doubt cause ever-more complaining from people who wish for DAO 2, and have wished impotently for that for 14 years. Not here but I've also seen some incredible double-contradictory-whinges where people have simultaneously whinged that the game has "changed direction" but also whined that it should be like DAO because BG3 was a success - never mind that BG3 only succeeded less than a year ago and is nothing like DAO, and that that would require another "change of direction", the very thing they were moaning about! This to me says that, no matter how good the game is, it'll get a huge amount of negativity for not being whatever bizarre and unlikely thing fans imagined. The same risk exists for many long-time sequels. ME5, if it happens, will likely get similar treatment ("Oh this isn't totally different game I made up in my head? Guess it sucks then!").
