Artstyle 100% matters in capturing player interest, and I genuinely think that game’s atrocious artstyle and character designs killed a lot of interest from long time Dragon Age fans along with many potential newcomers
I genuinely tried to care about it despite the negative press. I made it about 13 hours before I was too put-off to continue. I wasn't a fan of the graphics, and while that's not a make or break for me, combined with the milquetoast characters and boring writing I couldn't do it.
Gameplay was fine, I wouldn't complain about it in any other game, but with the weakness in other areas it really needed to carry, and it didn't.

They had their chance with the last Dragon Age, which was technically excellent but dogshit story-wise.
