70 hours in, i cannot get most of the complaints. At all. UPDATED OP#2

I think since patch 1.08 the animations and faces look fine and people (not you but others) need to get over what's no longer even there.

My Sara looks more real then my Inquisitor did, and her hair moves freely, something DAI never did. I'm quite satisfied.

That's the sad thing. Those that gave up on it early have missed out on the new things added. The game looks amazing now, but so many use the excuse of the old animations we'll never see again. Especially Addison looking so sad when she learns of Alec's fate, and Ryder's solemn nod. The new opening to the Tempest, which is more Normandy-style now and the shaders which toned down makeup and enhanced skin textures, and the sole-filled eyes that sparkle and reflect light.

Liam's eyes reflect my gold Nomad in the cargo bay now.

Movement in general has been changed in a strange way. Eyeballs move a lot, hair flies round like crazy and Jaal's once more tamed poncho is trying to swallow him and anyone who stands near him now. I did solve the glowing mouth issue though. I had to turn on SSAO/HBAO and it went away.

And this has always been my main problem with open worlds: should I kill this guy? What if 100 hours later I find out that he could help me with a quest? Should I enter this area? What if someone send me there later for some reason and I had spoiled something like, I don't know, making some people hostiles? I always get anxious when I play open worlds and in the end I always end up looking at walktroughs just to know what I can do and what I mustn't do every time.

I don't agree... I could spend all day looking out from the top of Mithrava watching the Manta flying... still trying to get a scan of one, just because.  After one clears the sky on Voeld, there are some terrific views with northern lights going on in the background as well.  I find that there's a huge variety of flora. I will agree that they could have introduced a few more varieties of fauna... but since most people, I'm sure, just use them as easy kills and don't seem to even want to notice the variety that is there, it might have been a wasted effort on Bioware's part.

I also love the level design of Havaarl... while you can choose to do the quests in any order, they still make sense... I don't feel as though I'm deliberately flying past areas to avoid triggering quests that I'm planning to save for later.  Driving in the snow on Voeld felt like a sleigh ride... great fun.  The unusual electrical storms on Habitat 7 were also very interesting to just watch.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion... and I mine.

I always wondered : Who on earth wants to shoot a city and kill the npcs anyway? Who on earth think rpg's should do allow that? This is not freedom, this is Call Of duty.

You could kill NPCs back in Bioware's Baldur's Gate... back when they still made the best rpgs.

Bethesda games allow for that. And yes, in some Bethesda games you can also shoot essential questgivers.

It's not good or bad in itself. To give an example, if you build a settlement in FO4, it can get attacked. If you take part in defending it, you have to be extra careful where and at what you aim your gun. Otherwise you end up shooting your own guys. It's basically friendly fire on every difficulty level, which doesn't allow for blindly firing away with everything you got. Such as Liam in MEA throwing his grenades wherever he pleases. It adds an element of realism to the fighting, which I personally like. Better have a look through the scope of your weapon or VATS before you kill these guys sitting around a fire from your hiding spot. They might be raiders, but they also might be a band of travelling merchants or harmless civilians.
