My issue isn't really with the lack of voice acting (it's nice, but it wasn't always a thing and games were still good) it's with how god awful all of the PC responses are, because they aren't responses at all. They're just second person summaries. Why can't we just converse? No one is going to be quoting awesome lines in the second person...
Also DA:I's gameplay is neither here nor there. OS1's combat was great, OS2 is largely the same, so that's unrelated.
