As someone who has never played a Dragon Age game, I'm going to crack my knuckles, shake off some of the late-shift rust from covering Black Friday gaming deals, and attempt to call this as cleanly down the middle as possible. Honestly? I think that might be a good thing because, with long-running, beloved gaming franchises like this, it
