Well, I have very little hope that DA4 will be somewhat good, but still voted for it.
The reason is that meanwhile I'm only motivated playing RPGs if "deep" NPC/companions are involved. (That's not sufficient, just necessary.)
In the past 3 years the only RPGs (or RPGish) games I've played are: BG3, WotR, Jedi Survivor, Expeditions: Rome, Elex II, CP77. Only outliner is Solasta where I was intrigued about the DnD adaption and the tag system for the party characters. (Apart from that I sometimes play TBS strategy games and sports games.)
So I don't know what kind of game DA4 will be, but I'm almost sure that NPC/companions will play a major role. I'm not sure about this for most of the other games on the list, where I have to admit that I know next to nothing about most of them.
