Player customisation is also ramped up considerably from previous titles, with a strong focus on the freedom to create a wide variety of different character builds.

Yes, balancing can be an issue at times, but not being locked into a specific class as in the original trilogy and being able to switch-up profiles on the fly makes the minute-to-minute combat and exploration feel so much more dynamic.

While this insane, almost overwhelming versatility might arguably make the game a little too easy, especially in its second half, BioWare deserves praise for refusing to arbitrarily limit players as so many games do, but instead giving them the entire toybox and letting them have at it.
