VERY simple and streamlined game. For first 10 or so levels it MIGHT seem like some good crpg ,but I simply realized how MUCH simplification and streamlining this game has. No real dialogues - every character just have 2-4 things you can ask them about ,but it is not real conversation with question and answers. Later in levels like from 15 level or so ,game changes into slasher like game. Game throws on you sometimes 8-10 mobs which you slash in matter of seconds in flashy manner. I play on hard difficulty and while in beggining there might be some tough fights if you play "weaker" builds , then later on you just faceroll everything. OP crafting, insane amounts of XP for quests and kills so you will find yourself very OP quickly if you do most quests in areas, money after level 10 is not an issue - I just bathe in it. Game CLEARLY made for consoles. It just scream console ! Don't treat it like Skyrim , The Withcher 2 or older crpg's (Baldur ,Fallout) with action combat. While in beggining it might seem like it - after level ~ 10 you will be stripped away from those "dreams". Just slasher / action game with some very limited RPG's-ish mechanics cause that's 'trendy' now and increase potential audience.

Polished game BUT very limited gameplay, WoW-like clone with VO slapped over and more instancing. End-game is about running instances over and over and not much aside of that. Insane amount of money spent on Voice Over and cutscenes shows with this game lacking in other departments. Though if you like a game to concentrate on nothing else than on grinding instances and battlegrounds once you finish questing, then you'll find good game here. If you want more diverse experience and more mmorpg, social and "world-like" feeling avoid it.

It have NOT made a DA2 better game. Simple as that. DA2 was oversimplyfied , overconcentrated on combat , linear , boring game. DA2:Legacy is no diffrent. It does not repair what was wrong about DA2. Also it does not give you good value of quality content for $ you spend on it. Unless you for any reason totally fanatically loved DA2 , avoid this DLC and whole DA2 like plague.

Rip off for money. There is your another f2p / microtrransaction rip-off system that is widespread in mmorpg's and now it's coming for other genres. Sure you can try to play for free , but it is nothing more like a handicapped demo. People that had spend $ will roll over you with no problem, they just have advantage over free player. Like in all f2p games. But maybe so want to pay? Then you will get 2 civilizations for 40$ + if you want to be competetive you need to spend another ~20$ for civilization booster packs + there are still separate items in item store for additional $. Then new civilization will come for and each is at least 20-30$. Remember item store is still offering more. Previous AoE games shipped with alot of content and with like 8-12 civilizations each for one time expense of 40-50$. Really AoE Online is a rip-off compared to it. Add a graphics that resemble cartoons for 6 year old kids , bad AI , boring missions and that game give a feeling like go spend spend $ = win then you have full view. Vote with your wallet and buy & play games that don't use microtransactions , item stores and things like that , which will cost you way more than your usual flat-rate game that you buy for 50$ or eventually 40-50$ + subscription.
