I agree, the mako has gotta go, or at least be significantly reduced in importance. I like to play through games like this once as good, once as bad, and then make an indifferent run for 100% completeness, and that last run was brutal with all those damn mako missions.
I shall be purchasing and playing the shit out of this as soon as I'm done with DA:O, which means it may be a while cause I'm in school, working, preparing for an actuarial exam, and not very far into DA:O yet, but eventually I shall play this game with fervor.
