Absolutely. My biggest criticism with the second game was the lack of interesting bosses. In DA:O it was different. The satisfaction of a Human Noble killing Howe, or a Dwarf Noble taking Harrowmont's side against his brother. I am a bioware fanboy, no denying it. I enjoy their story telling and the illusion of choice they manage to work into their games. So long as the game isn't unplayable I am going to love a Bioware game.
This game though, left me wanting. I never felt like the things I was doing were my choice. Going back to the human noble origin: you're damn right I'm interested in finding and killing Howe. Even if the game railroads me there, it's pushing me to a very logical action. I honestly couldn't have given a rip about the deep roads expedition or the Qunari or the mage/templar war. Orsino, Meredith, Arishok, all of them could do what they wanted so long as they left me alone. The companion interactions/quests were the one saving grace. But I have hopes for DA3 because I enjoyed the story/background/lore of the latest DLC.
