I read an interesting critique of the game, which pointed out that the offscreen adventures your advisors have sound infinitely more fun than you traipsing around the forest collecting mosaic pieces and wine bottles. Which is - you know - a weird thing for the inquisitor to be doing.

I'm not sure how much of this has to do with Bioware chasing Bethesda's boring-ass single-player MMO format, and how much is just low-quality padding due to lack of time, since actual quality content would require more hours of work. Even Dragon Age: Origins had a bunch of stupid bulletin-board style MMO quests.

I'm pretty sure everything about it is Bioware chasing Bethesda, they just did a poor job at that, and should have stuck to their strengths. I would have been much more happy with a smaller game with more to do.
