Warning: Spoilers
If you like the abandoned script of a game crammed into about 2 hours with flat, one sided characters and video game combat, you'll like it. If you liked Bioware for having developed characters and good dialogue, you won't find them here.

Follow Miriam, who is a likeable or relatebale as a rash on your bottom who hails from a traumatic past as an elven slave in the Tevinter Imperium (and therefore constantly berates her friends? I'm angry how slavery in DA:A apparently boils down to growing up with an abusive parent as EVERYTHING in this show is rushed and only skims the surface) going on an ill fated heist cause the woman she's dreaming of starting a cheese farm with secretly also hates Tevinter (but never shared that? The fact that she wears a necklace with an engraving of a, apparently, well known Tevinter house seemed to escape everyone's attention, except for when the plot needed it) and allied herself with Red Templars (literal horrible monsters) cause she wants to kill everyone in Tevinter as she is very sane just like the villain who, like Miriam, is after 20 something years still hung up about a dead friend (but at least pours time, tears and work into reviving him instead of throwing tantrums like Miriam). Everyone rather kills scores of innocents than going to therapy.

The side characters, as one sided they are, are the most likeable but probably only cause they are just walking set pieces and weren't forced into a "Im dark and egdy" main character mire of writing.

Bonus points for including a qunari mage, minus points for never ever touching upon how qunari mage are hated and hunted by their folk and boiling her personality down to XD SCREAMY ZANY HUMOR XD.
