Interesting! I'm usually not one to watch Commander gameplay but I'll check this one out.

Back in '21, on the other place, I started to conceive a format called "Skald" where your commander is a Saga, but never did anything with it. It'll be cool to see how it plays.

Yeah, there's just a few options during character creation to define the world state.
It did feel like putting a bow on the series since there's a lot of impactful lore reveals and it seems unlikely we'll get a sequel.
There's a secret ending that detracts a bit, but... It is what it is.

Missing 1st place list

All-in-all, I don't think I'd recommend it to a hardcore fan of the setting but would recommend it to someone looking for a tidy little action game.

I left some additional comments on OP. On its own merit, it's a fun (if repetitive) action game with a nicely choreographed and suitably epic conclusion. However, it doesn't really honor the tone of the franchise and glosses over some lore. "Woke elements" decried by internet were overblown.

The "why is the Internet like this:"
- The rxn to "punishment push-ups" for misgendering Taash is overblown. It happens one time, does not directly involve MC, and is not instigated by the NB character. It's explained as a tradition of the adventuring company to show contrition. It's kind of sweet.

The Ugly:
- The main story beats were cool, but I skipped nearly all dialogue. The companions were just not captivating.
- For a series with Taint, demonic possession, etc., it sure seems like everybody simply trusts MC.
- DA worked in a dark space without being corny. Everything's glossed over.

The bad:
- It didn't feel very Dragon Age-y. It was awash in high fantasy elements like elven technology and spirit boatmen.
- Racial tensions and templar/mage politics, both longstanding textures of the setting, virtually absent.
- Enemies were samey and one dimensional, sharing movesets.

The good:

- Some of the set pieces and action sequences were VERY cool.
- There was a ton of setting-defining lore drops.
- The set-up of six non-competing factions led to a variety of quest themes and a satisfying conclusion that incorporated all of them.
- Character progression felt good.

Being an idiot teenager, he might initially be drawn in by the marketing of MAGA as counter-culture/anti-establishment. And then, upon realizing that is an illusion and the rich are pulling the strings, feed them to war boars.

Domri Rade would probably start off MAGA due to his naivete, but end the story arc feeding the rich to boars.
