Bang for you Buck
You know after all the P_ssing, and Moaning about this game, in the beginning.. And I did my fair share. I have to say this is a Huge game, with and UN-godly amount of things to find, and explore...
Yes I think the closest to 100 % completion was my last game I got 95%, ( I do not concern my self about trophies, that is for me, such a time Waster, and Gimmick by the Game makers ) but just powered out, and I wanted to make a new character, and play the first part's again, so I went ahead, and finished.
I am playing only for story this time, Or at least that is my intention. So no insanity this time I think, for ease, and more looking time I am going with Veteran, and may drop to Normal at times, I have done 2 insanity runs, so I don't feel the need this time, I am not a great player, and a little ease to my strain for story time, and pleasure will be nice this time.
I also want to enjoy the Graphics improvements to my Character, right from the start.
I did not find or figure out how to make those work with Frosty Mod Manager Until this last play through, They made the game so much more enjoyable, To Me .
Echoing what @taglag45 said, I have very few complaints about the game-play or mechanics of MEA. I see the "twisted neck" graphics glitch a fair amount (more than one scene, and consistently in those scenes) and a few of the facial animation oddities, but nothing that puts me off the game. And I won't do MP either. Just no interest in real-time action on other people's schedules. (Which is why I anticipate Anthem with mixed feelings.)
I, too, did my usual "Normal => Hardcore => Insanity" progression, and now am content to play on "Casual" or "Normal" so I can just enjoy the story.
My complaints are all around the relative lack of "story". I've played thousands (yes, thousands) of hours of DAO, and the intra-party banter can still surprise me. I think I had cycled through all of MEA's by about the fifth playthrough. And then BioWare abandoned the game. So many obvious DLC opportunities (Quarian Ark? Angaran AI? Kett homeworld?) left orphaned. ☹️
