It's not perfect, all the complaints about repetitive level design and wave enemies are completely valid, the first act is too long, the third is too short and the middle act feels too climactic. But damn it I still have a soft spot for this game. The combat is arugably improved or made worse depending on your preference of Origins combat , for me it made it more fun to play through and looked a lot more interesting visually with its speed and effects. The story, I would argue, is the best in the trilogy so far with its more personal story on Hawke who is fantastic. The personal focus is the right way to go for the franchise and it also laid down some great groundwork for Inquisition. The companions are also brilliant and Sebastian, with Merrill, Varric, Isabela and Aveline being some of my favourite companions in all of Bioware's games. It really is a shame to see what happened during this game to come out and be received the way it did because had it been given more time, the reception would have been much better, but as it stands its hard to deny it isn't flawed but damn I still enjoyed my time with it.
