Err... DA2's complaints were legion. Bad combat design, teleporting enemies, railroading, psychotic storyline, a ton of things that didn't even relate to each other but more of a "that sounds like a good idea, let's throw it in", lazy reused stuff everywhere, incredibly badly written NPCs, the list goes on and on.
I know, at that time though I wasn't really paying attention to new releases or gaming in general tbh, so I just saw brief snippets, same with ME3 and the ending controversy, obviously there's probably a shit ton more problems but that's all I could remember so thought to myself "Hey, Inquisition can't be that bad", like the naive prick I am.
It's loved more for what it promised than what it actually did. The companions are little more than walking encyclopedia entries, one of the few things the sequels did better. That said Saren is one of the best antagonists Bioware has ever had, the OST is perfect, and the art design is on point.
Garrus, that's how much you liked him.

Thought you lot were all about forgiveness? blessed be Jehovah
I thought it had potential. It did capture something of a space-opera TV show feel, but the mechanics were poor. If they'd built on the mechanics and pushed the series into more meaningful RPG territory it could have been the best thing they did since the Infinity Engine days, but they decided to turn the series into a class-based shooter instead. Also the writing in the first game was relatively restrained and on point by Bioware standards; they slouched back into their usual bad habits in the sequels.
