I've seen a few valid criticisms, which I get. It's hard to make a choice-driven narrative in the post-BG3 market and not get held to a higher standard. "Written by committee" is one such descriptor I've heard.

For me, as a fan of Dragon Age: Origins, I also can't say I prefer the dip into the actiony, grindy sort of combat mechanics the game appears to have now.
