The linearity doesn't kill it though, I'll say that much. It's just a step down from having the exploratory elements you'd see in previous games. I think they were trying to attract new players more by making it more Action/Adventure like, but they need to stick with it being more of an RPG. The same thing can be said for that new Dragon Age game.
