Take KOTOR or Jade empire as an example. The main quest was great, the side quests were really interesting and nuanced. But when you wanted to just explore, you really... couldn’t. I’m not faulting them for that, JE is one of my favorite games of all time, but I think DA:I represents an important point of growth for…

If you don’t like the side-quests don’t do them. You don’t need them.

Since when is having fun ‘nothing’? I find it fun to do the side quests in DA:I. If you don’t find it fun, don’t do them. You don’t need them at all to complete the game.

Ehh, really? I thought the combat in DA:O was trash, and I love the combat in DA:I.

Then don’t do it? You can beat the entire game pretty sparsely, you really don’t need to do any of this stuff.

Yeah, you’re a whiny butthurt nerd.
