You got one.
I don't get how people think a lack of free-roaming space options is uncharacteristic of BioWare. How many BioWare games have had free-roaming space combat? Now how many games have had space combat mini-games similar to this one?
The answer to the former is zero, while both KoTOR and Jade Empire had on-rails shooting segments. In fact, space combat in this game is very similar to the airplane minigame in Jade Empire.
EA bought BW over two years before Dragon Age came out.
I will also point out that BioWare had stopped making PC games entirely and had outsourced all of their PC game ports from 2003 until just after they were bought out by EA. If anything, they have been more PC-friendly since being bought out.
