For one, the graphics don't look exactly next gen. After being wowed by Mass Effect's realistic character models and stunning environments, I'd expect other RPGs to match it. A bit of a spoiled reaction? Probably, but DA's visuals still leave me a bit underwhelmed. The combat too is a bit clunky at times. For the record, I've played through all of the Baldur's Gate series, so the whole pause and click system is nothing new to me. But that was on a PC, and what works for a keypad and mouse may not necessarily translate well for gamepad. At times it was a bit of chore to micromanage your unit during a fight. The lack of the overhead view available on the PC versions kinda stinks as well, but it hasn't been much of a bother for me. I am digging the whole dark fantasy vibe that I've been getting from this game, and the NPC's look interesting, though I've only just started so I can't give an accurate judgement of them as of yet. Despite my misgivings, I still think this is a good game. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> And it's enough to tide me over until Mass Effect 2 comes around next year. My female Da'lish Ranger will have to suffice for now until I step into Commander Shepard's boots once more.</blockquote>
