Had exactly this same experience. Also, walking through pools of blight in bare feet?! Euuugh.

It has DA II feels in terms of discreet quest-based chapters so far, but with beautiful diversity of environments. I too liked 2 and drifted away from inquisitions endless meandering. You might well dig Veilguard.
