DA:O is a good game in its core, but it is troubled by too much meaningless combat as filler material. It wants to be a storytelling game and it has some niece pieces. Sadly the combat and the codex entries are in its way. It should be a 20-30 h experience, but they did stretch it to a 70-80 h experience. The game is not bad, but highly overrated.
The story does not enough to be worth the technical flaws. It has horrible input controls with input lags. It crashes occasionally. The performance is not good for what it is. There are graphic glitches.
