I had lots of fun initially, but then got bogged down in Orgizzimar or whatever it's called.

Yeah, I've been feeling that too, and I'm only on Redcliffe so far. I'm a little annoyed that if I don't want to kill a little boy or his mother, I have to go and do ANOTHER full quest arc in another place. The fact I still haven't achieved vengeance on two weasels yet is also galling. It doesn't feel like I'm making much progress.

Trying to manage my party members is also annoying; I'm constantly having to watch out for approval drops and raises. Since most of these result from unavoidable plot elements, it's especially irksome. I have to go to wiki's to find out which people to take into a region to avoid drops.

Still, I think you could have all of these faults and still have a great game. There's just something missing that I can't quite put my finger on.

The story may be part of this... I have a distinct feeling I'm being manipulated and used as a pawn by someone who already knows what I'm going to do. I hate this in books and even more so in games. At least in Mass Effect, it felt like you were at least a disruption in the enemy's plans.
