I guess one thing i gotta commend DAO on is that at least one of tis female party members had a nice cheesecake design.
One more issue i just remembered was reading through the background material first and figuring the setting, as in the land, was cool. Ferelden sounded like Celtic Russia / Slavic Scotland set in Argentinia somehow , recently formed nation from loose tribal confederacies and everyone worships Dogs somehow.
And then in the actual game it was ye olde england all over again.
