Familiar and FUN

I've seen reviews that complain how the fighting style of this game is similar to MMOs, and while that's true, I think it's great. I'm sure I can't be the only person that found themselves wanting to explore warcraft and such on their own but her hindered by lack of wanting a group. Dragon Age lets you do that, since you control your entire group.
This is honestly the most fun I've ever had with a western RPG (usually I mainly play J-RPGs), the characters are wonderful and even though I'm playing on casual mode to better enjoy the story, there have still been a few challenging moments so far. For example, I just fought my first BIG dragon and even on casual mode it took quite awhile and a few revives before I was done.
I don't find much use for the poison and trap crafting, but the potion creating is a great money saver. I agree that it's a bit irritating that we can't walk through puddles and such and I've noticed a few broken bits of dialogue here and there, but in general I have very few complaints. I'm playing the PS3 version and I can see how the controls would start out confusing, but after a couple of hours it seems normal/easy.
Really, one of my favorite games and one that I'll be playing for quite awhile so I can see how the different races/backs tories interact with the world, and to make different decisions of my own at influential moments.
