One of the most obvious flaws of DAO is that the difficulty is insane. I had to switch to easy mode and there are still some fights that scare me.

On a positive note, I absolutely adore the writing for every party member. Theyre all such precious gems! Sten and Shale are my favorites, theyre such sassy bitches, but I love pretty much all of them. I can't say much about the rest of the writing, but I do really like most of the main story, surprisingly.

Although I own the game on steam, and it has been an ordeal to play. The game crashes constantly, and if I play for too long it refuses to even play at all any more. The game is actively falling apart as I progress; at the moment my characters helmets are either disappearing or turning pure white. The crashes are getting more frequent. I dont know if ill be able to even finish the game or not. Im at the third Main Area on my run, in orzammar and I literally cant do anything without the game crashing. Im hoping that waiting a while will fix it, but I don't understand what the real issue is, aside from maybe a memory leak.
