DAO is my favorite game of all time too, and this game does remind me of it in many ways, but gaming culture, standards, etc. have moved on. I don't expect Larian - or any other company, including BioWare - to make a game I'll like better, but that's okay! I still have Origins; I can replay it whenever I want (about once a year or so). And I can enjoy the new stuff too, even if it'll never live up to my ideal.
