Cool, maybe rpgs aren’t for you. Exploration, change and discovery is half the point. If you want to automatically get all the best loot because you went to a required place and did the required thing maybe you don’t want an rpg maybe you just want a story game. That’s fine, but DA was supposed to a BG spiritual successor once upon a time.
You now have a one-quest-long window to do these three steps in order otherwise you will never be able to complete this quest line due to missing out on the item that’s only available if you use this specific thingamajig on the other thingamajig in the hidden room. There isn’t any indication of that in the entire game, except that some quest will never ever finish and be stuck on the vague “find x things” stage forever. If you google how to finish the quest in thirty hours of game time, you’re just SoL. Better luck next run.
What exactly is the “role” one is playing here? Diviner? Psychic reading the game dev’s mind?

What an extraordinarily bad take.
RPGs are not required to have loot, so that line is just nonsense.
Baldur’s gate 1 and 2, for the bulk of it, let you revisit previous areas.
“Explore it all in one shot” is not the only kind of exploration.
Even BG3 let’s you go back with some exceptions.
