>The choices and consequences are great,
What choices mattered past the first game? What choices even mattered ingame? Did anything you do in Lothering/Ostagar matter? Or was it all left for which army you can summon and which epilogue (that would later be retconned) slide shows up?
>Morrigan / Sten / Alistair / Shale and even old granny are all good
Why? Alistair/Shale would be considered a reddit Chungus now, Morrigan talks like larping 8th grader trying to be edgy.
> the game regularly acknowledged if you played as elf or dwarf which basically no other crpg does,
Did this have any real effect on the game? BG3 recognized if you were a dragonborn, elf, drow, dwarf, or gnome. For example, but you hate this game. Being a Drow lets you walk right into the goblin camp, and other people will distrust you.
>the heavy armor looks cool,
No one thought the armor looked good in this game.
>nd by the end you feel like a true hero facing an insurmountable threat when you get to the burning Denerim
Functionally the end game of BG3 and DAO is identical. I actually consider this a critique of BG3 btw.
So my take away is:
>I was 14 when I played DAO, it was my first RPG.
