A strange mix of Singe Player RPG with MMO world/quest design that mostly works but comes with a lot of caveats. Once again the characters are great, and the individual quest chains match the quality of prior titles, but the overarching story veers into a boring big bad evil guy plot arch where the big bad evil guy barely shows up and seems incompetent as a result. The open world is expansive and fun to explore, but the majority of side quests are unexciting MMO style filler, and traversal in general is just kind of awkward. The thing it does objectively better then prior entries is the combat, which maintains the strategic depth while making it punchier and more visually exciting. An odd game for sure, and one that kind of portended the dark times for Bioware.
