The characters were almost all very flat and same, like they were written by one person with only a superficial knowledge of other types of people than himself. The only ones who broke the mold were Sera and Cole.
Honestly Sera was the only character I didn't like <_<

The game as a whole was not dark fantasy in the slightest. It was standard fantasy, which includes sprinkles of everything naturally. There was nothing the likes of the Grey Warden blood ritual in the first game, where you see the recruit in front of you drink Darkspawn blood and go crazy and die, and then it's your turn. Or a dwarf female being kidnapped by Darkspawn, dragged into their lair and turned into a broodmother. Or stuff like the Tranquil from the Mages' Circle. Those kinds of themes that cast an air of harsh times instead of just telling you "hey times are harsh".
Instead it had refugees with the plague being mass murdered in a flood intentionally to save a town from death.
Someone selling their own townspeople into intentional torture-based slavery and transformation into monsters just so the town could survive a little longer.
A man literally destroying the entire world and murdering everybody to keep his dying son alive in a cataonic state.
The Grey Wardens all hearing the call into believing they are about to turn into horrible monsters at any moment and so kill their own friends to raise an army of demons to hold back the darkness
And let's not forget killing one of your enemies, putting them in a box and then sending the box around as a warning for any who would challenge you.
I'd say all 3 games are standard fantasy, there's nothing that dark in any of them. But Inky is no less dark than 1 or 2.
When the going gets tough, the tough go have a little cry in the corner.
