I'm only 4 to 5 hours in but I like it. It gets out a lot of the shitty DA2 play and brings it back more to DAO. I'll also say there is a ton to explore. I'm still in the first area outside of Haven and I've got maybe half left to explore. I read a review the other day saying that the guy had put in 80 hours so far and I can easily see myself doing that.
One thing I'm unsure of is just how difficult the game will be. I'm playing on normal difficulty with no friendly fire from the magic, but I haven't played much with my teams tactics yet. I also don't know how the AI difficulty will scale when the difficulty is changed. Basically I don't know if the AI will get smarter of if enemies will just hit harder and have more health.
You definitely feel the EA influence with the war map and campsite checkpoints; it's very reminiscent of assassin's creed black flags (cool for me because I liked that part). The story/lore is still absolutely ridiculous in terms of the amount of it they have.
If you were really into DAO (multiple play throughs and such) I'd definitely recommend it.

Playing on hard right now. Not far into the game at all but it is hard. Enemies have more health and are smarter.

I just got it and me too, it's not been too difficult within the first few hours hopefully it will pick up

The difficulty spikes a bit after the 20 hourish mark. The way you build out your skill tree becomes really important, as does team set up. Thankfully you can respec your skill tree for a really cheap price.

I heard there isn't a level cap though? That was just on one of the forums in here so I'm unsure if that's accurate

It's true no level cap

I haven't heard about that. Dunno if it's true or not. I'm level 14 right now playing on normal, and some of the boss fights can get pretty hectic, like the Fear Demon fight. I think going forward success or failure is going to be determined by how well you use the tactical view mode to direct your party. I saw a level 12 take down a dragon using some solid strategy with the tac view mode. I haven't really tried it out too much, but I'm gonna start practicing with it. I'll have to if I want to start playing on anything higher than Normal.

I hear you. Where I'm at right now I just don't see how using it is necessary. I'm playing a mage because I feel like they can be the toughest to start out with, and kind of forces you to get a good grasp on the game. I'm still working on finding different spell combos like in DAO though
