Static quests

I kept grinding through side quests despite these pacing issues because I wanted to maximize my Inquisition forces.

When I thought about all the hundreds of more MEANINGLESS quests I was in store for, I stopped playing

Most of the "action" in the game involves repetitive quests to close rifts, set up camps, find herbs or caches or landmarks, etc., and while the game supposedly allows you the freedom to develop your character and forces as you would like, there's really no incentive to do so.

I didn't like Aveline until I did her rather funny quest involing Guardsman Donic
