I played the demo, said to myself "Oh god, it's WoW." and stopped playing.

This game is driving me crazy. The game spans over a period of ten years. Unlike in origins, your decisions do not lead to any good outcomes. All outcomes to misions intertwine and nothing has turned out the way I wanted. The game forces you to make black and white decisions when the there is such a massive grey area. I have yet to find any peaceful ways to settle anything in this game as things later come to bite you in the ass. Unlike ME2 or origins, I really don't think there is a way to "save everyone" and have the perfect ending. I am not sure how I feel about this. Working for the perfect ending is what keeps me playing these kinds of games. If anyone else has this game, please post a formula to keep all your party members when the time comes to make that 'big decision', if you have found a way. I am restarting from the first act losing 6 ingame years since I couldn't handle what the plot did to me.
I can only hope one of you out there actually has the game and is a bioware nerd like myself.
Furd, the demo does not do the game justice.

Jag its nearly impossibly the formula is nearly FIXED to let the story like that like for example... Call of duty 4
if you have not beaten the captain price when he was younger with captain macmillan then dont read the spoiler or if your never going to buy it...

Spoiler! :

When you aim at zakhaev and attempt to shoot him in the head the bullet it always CURVES that is the only time in cod it curves... EVER

Therefore (if you read above) it is a scripted event. now in a bioware type game they use that technique to start the story to fall i can explain more just ask

Haven't finished it yet...

Spoiler! :

I've loved the story-telling a lot, but there's one thing that made me cringe, it felt that painful to me, with that quest for Anders. "The Tranquil Solution" and the "Mage Question". Such a subtle reference to real events.
