Combat (Initially): The combat system feels great at first and the fight encounters are fun to play through.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
144 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I thought the RPG systems like the skill tree and gear perks were really well done, you can definitely build your character in a plethora of ways that would switch up your combat style really thoroughly.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

I couldn't run it at max graphics without it stuttering, but it still looks good and runs quite smoothly at medium-ish settings.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

In a game with this much content, with so much freedom of character customization, I don't understand why they couldn't apportion enough resources to develop hats that work *with* hair.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I did sob at Solas' ending (no spoilers), so something were done right there, and of course, the voice acting was incredible as always for both of them.
