completionist here and, yes, 100% agree. actually every time i think about DA:I it's about how bloated it is as far as activities etc. - i had to give up on a lot of things just to get through the damn game (e.g., once i realized how many stupid materials you would need to harvest to get all the gear/upgrades, i kinda beelined for the end).
still enjoyed the star puzzle things and all the dragon hunts, though. but there's a lot of kinda fluff that just drags things out.
100% completed here. It's not about the collectables and the gathering for the gear. It's the different choices to make. Some choices are just as impossible to not make the 15th time as they are the 150th time.
I "finished" it on my first run (as much as I could when some of the collectibles were bugged and were never fixed except through mods, but everything that could be done, I did it) and I swore I would never touch another ocularum again. Fuck those things.

Does one ever really “finish” DA:I?
(Or am I the only one who thinks BioWare designed it specifically to torture completionists? 😂)
