You are going to have to be more specific...

It's buggy and relatively ugly. It's also more suited to the PC arguably due to the WoW hotbar style gameplay. It's also a pretty good game imo. There's already a Dragon Age thread somewhere on here...

I just wanted to know if it's worth picking up from people that I trust without having to wade through a clusterfuck official thread.

It's tremendous on the PC. I think there are a few things that might stop you from really enjoying it if you are predisposed to them (basically, if you don't like the usual fantasy tropes of elves/dwarves/orcs and what not, even when used in interesting ways, you might find the game's story bothersome) , but the combat is great and I found the characters/interactions interesting for a video game.

Not as good as Baldur's Gate 2 but really what is.

indeed, the fact that the game was designed to be played from an isometric perspective-where the sometimes wacky texturing doesn't come into play as much and for which the lighting sources are obviously placed-is readily apparent when comparing the console vs. PC version.

I don't think it looks very good on the PC (it obviously looks better than on a console which every PC game does) nor does it animate especially well but perhaps that is just me.

It has a terrible memory leak that they fail to fix. After about a hour of gameplay expect about 2 minute load times no matter what. It sucks.

Its awesome on PC. There a mods that make it much better than the console version (like auto-loot, bakcpack expansions, etc.) and its really easy to install the mods.
