i personalyl dont get the hype about DAO, it was a decent game but i dont understand why it was so outstanding to people. I mostly remembered that the combat felt tedious but that was probably because i felt like enemies would constantly swarm past my melee characters.
I had the same issue with icewind dale, but in icewind dale i did stuff like stack those barrels they had everywhere to stop that from happening. maybe i just misskilled my characters back then so i didnt have sleep or entangle... idk.
i dont know why people love it. the enemies always seemed realy uninspired to me and the best companion was a dog.
