I love your assessment. Your character looks awesome by the way. I don't like the companions. In the other games, I found myself always going to them and seeing if they had something new to say to me or to give me a side quest. In this one, I could care less about the companions haha. I am still going to play it, but have no desire to "binge play" it. Seriously the other games I could play 10 hours straight and want to play more. I am 46 and I agree with your marketing perspective to a younger crowd. I do like the character creator and was able to make someone that looks sort of like me haha, which I find myself wanting to do in any role-playing game.

The companions make such a huge part of Bioware games! It's so disappointing that these companions are awful. They all could have been so interesting. They all come from different cultures, different lifestyles... but they're all soulless and lack that special something that Bioware companions are otherwise known for.
That really is what I'm most disappointed about. But, I suppose they appeal to that younger audience. Even Emmerich, the old man who is considering his upcoming and inevitable death, seems younger than he should be. Likely to appeal to those younger gamers.
Even then, though, they could've made it so these companions appeal to the younger audience but also make them bearable for the older players. They've alienated a good portion of their fanbase by doing this.
I love everything else about the game though xD I'm admittedly binge playing!!
Yeah, that is one thing I loved about the prior Dragon Age games are the companion interactions, who I am going to romance, etc lol. Same with the Mass Effect games, such great characters and companions with unique stories, history, and problems, and this one just falls so short which is extremely disappointing. Have so much fun binge playing, I can't get myself to do it. Which is such a shame, but maybe a good thing, I need to work LOL.
