That is so rotten, as to be unbelievable. If Bioware decided to go the Mass effect route, i would at least expect to see mass effect styled alternate outcomes based on your decisions in key areas of the game. Alternate text doesn't cut. This bit makes that 60 dollar ticket price for this interactive movie, an object of glaring contempt.

I'm sorry, my friend. This game is the hated "RPG on rails."
So much of this game is based around meaningless side quests that it doesn't matter. For instance, in one quest, I killed a Templar instead of letting him take an apostate mage prisoner. The only repercussion I've faced is that I had a random encounter pop up where a paltry amount of Templars tried to kill me. After dispatching them, I can still wander through the Chantry and Templar central without anyone saying s**to me. Any of the "real" choices that effect the "main" quest are pretty much made for you. Your only input is what kind of smartass remark you make when accepting them.
