The verdict
A huge story-driven BioWare RPG with superb companions and writing, weighed down by MMO-style filler quests, shallow combat and a required EA launcher. Skip it if you want tactical depth or hate grind.
Great for
Story and companion-focused RPG fans who can ignore side-quest filler and enjoy romances and choices
Main risk
Bloated, empty open world of fetch quests plus EA launcher/account problems wear you down
