I consider myself to be a dragon age fan and I've loved all the games since I was young and followed the story and learned every lore bit and all that, and even I hated the new one. I even liked 2 and 3 which were controversial and I still hated 4.

I cannot even guess why someone who plays a lot of crpg and has played the previous DA games would say they like it. I don't know why our resident amphibian said that. 4 damaged the lore in ways that go beyond mere accident, it feels like they were doing it on purpose. An unskilled writer who lied on their resume would have done better job because at least they would have just made some safe and boring slop, what actually happened was they killed off entire storylines established in the previous games, undid key characterizations that made previous characters compelling like Loghain and Flemeth, and wiped out much of the most interesting worldbuilding. It takes someone familiar with the setting to do as much damage as they did, a novice stabbing in the dark would have done less damage. It's genuinely baffling what happened, and I cannot even begin to guess why someone who knows better would say they like the game.
The dialogue was terrible, and the inappropriate one-liners and quips about things that are serious grated my nerves the entire time.

I bought it because I'm a long time fan and so of course I'm going to play the new one, but I began to be appaled early on. I forced myself to continue because I wanted to see the end and it did have some pretty graphics, but I was dissapointed from start to finish, and at times even beyond dissapointed when key lore and character assassinations kept happening.

It's genuinely one of my least favorite games of all time, and I'm a pretty easy to please and easygoing gamer usually. It's one of only several negative reviews I've left on steam, and I have like 100+ positives.
