Am I the only one who enjoys the Lost in Dreams quest?

The first time I played the game, I was completely lost during that long quest but in all the games afterwards, I've loved it and enjoyed playing with the various forms, too.

the fade is excellent. How many games let you run around on fire, be a mouse without a cat chasing you, float in the air and be a golem that smashes the enemy? 

I think the main problem most players have with the Fade sequence is that you are stuck there for the duration of the quest, on top of being stuck in the Circle Tower. At the very least they could have made Owain a vendor . As tedious as the Deep Roads are, at least you can come up for air, barring the final battle of course.

I enjoy The Fade. Waffling between Leliana and Morrigan,the witch of the wilds earned my respect by seeing through the dream.

Love it. It's one of my favourite parts of the game in fact. It provides a welcome change of page, and contains some interesting grounds for tactical thinking, not to mention all the stat bonuses from the various 'shrines' you find there. I think that a lot of gamers are conditioned into racing through content very quickly and always taking the path of least resistance. The fade section is a chore for such people due to the necessity of having to change your pace and slow things down - that's why it's so unpopular.

I actually enjoy the Fade and the Circle Tower specifically because of that reason, because you aren't allowed to leave until you complete your objective. It provides a sense of narrative urgency that this is important and a life-or-death situation for our characters.

Stopping in the middle of a hunt for Werewolves to quickly nip to Denerim to visit Goldanna, significantly ruins the immersion factor.

Speaking of the Deep Roads, I've love a quest-line that's a mix of Origins, Primeval Thaig and a Descent-style dungeon crawler. Have a surface entrance collapse in a cave-in, forcing us to traverse a perilous section of the Deep Roads until we can reach the nearest exit. And like Broken Circle, have the game make it clear that there's no leaving once you start the quest, so it's best to be prepared before you go in.

I know some players will complain, but I say, let them.
Hear, hear! All games need some semblance of challenge involved, otherwise you don't feel rewarded for overcoming it.

I personally play all games with a (slightly masochistic) self-imposed handicap of Zero Revivals. If any squadmate gets KO'd, I reload from the last save and try again. Sure, it can at times be frustrating when you have to do the same section a dozen or so times, but that's part of what makes succeeding worthwhile.

That's why it slightly irks me to see that there are now accomplishments for how many times you can revive KO'd squadmates. To me, that kinda feels like rewarding the player for their failure at keeping their squad alive. Cause if you're doing things right, squadmates shouldn't ever be kissing the dirt or needing you to get them back on their feet.
