Dragon Age Inquisition - Is it Worth It?

[@superbrian7997]

I love Dragon 🐉 Age Inquistion but the Trespasser DLC ruins it. In Game of Thrones, Littlefinger rightfully deduced that, “Chaos can be a ladder, for progress.” DA3 has a fantastic opening! The sky is falling. Institutions are failing. And The Inquisition is ready to answer the call and oh boy do they. But then after the villain is defeated and the Breach in sky is sealed and healed. In the Trespasser DLC The Chantry, Orlais and some of your very own inner council members try to gaslight the Inquisitor into disbanding The Inquisition. As if no future crisis will arise. As if The Inquisition couldn’t be a force for good all over Thedas. Employing people. Giving meaning to their lives by helping them be productive members of society. I became very invested in building my Inquisition to the utmost heights of prosperity, progress and purpose. I grew to care for all my new recruits. Squadmates and otherwise. I networked. We built Keeps everywhere that we could. Only to have all of our hard work and 10’s of gameplay hours be brought to nothing in The Trespasser DLC. Because The Inquisition is disbanded and BioWare doesn’t even let us fight for it’s survival! I remember thinking it was preposterous that the Inquisitor was planning to attack Orlais and other places in the vision that we saw if we decided to ally with The Grey Wardens to help us seal the Breach. But when I was playing The Trespasser DLC, I now knew that the vision we saw on that mission wasn’t preposterous at all. Because I wanted to “choose violence” against Orlais if they dared try to control my Inquisition! I’m a proud American 🇺🇸 and my families history goes way back to fighting in the war for our independence from the King of England. And I take the best of our American Values with me wherever I go. Irl or DL (Digital Life) so I got excited about the possibilities as The Herald of Andraste to do precisely as Lady Andraste did and change the World of Thedas for the better! What I loved about The Inquisition was that we were simultaneously a Passive Protagonist & Active Protagonist. We were the new kids on the block, with a long history. So to see the current established order bristle so much at our existence. When we were succeeding in places they weren’t even attempting too. And to have those ineffective loser have the unmitigated gall to think that they should control us like the Sokovia Accords in Captain America: Civil War. Tried to do with The Avengers. Well let’s just say I’m a Variant of Captain America, myself.

Tbh dragon age inquisition is one of the few games ever I’ve played from start to finish more than once, I’ve done it around 10 times and it’s just so special and nostalgic, it and Skyrim were all I had at one point in my teens in a rough home situation, however I think if you don’t have that deep love for it, then I think I may loose it’s shine after the first play through

[@crimsonlight4205]

You need to play the original dragon age then, each different race has different backstories you play through, and each race has 2 backstories and different interactions and new missions throughout the game every time depending on your backstory. Hell of a game

It's a good "Ubisoft" style game but steady degrading of the rpg story and character elements. Specifically good/evil but this design also has a wider appeal to new people. Being new, I started from the beginning this year and favorite is origins but all have something. Origins is a epic dark fantasy that is more strategic.(I only went to the tactics menu to take the fireball away cause I didn't want my noble ranger/duelist to get nuked) DA 2 is a more personal story that's tragic fantasy and streamlined gameplay everything for console. Storywise you get some evil choices or set up circumstances to kill your sibling

I started installing about 10 minutes ago... decided to pop on the Ytube to check some old reviews, and here's this up to date video. Spot on! Many thanks!

[@carterneis8469]

As someone who has sunk entirely to many hours into the game. The hinterlands isn’t bad when you know there’s a lot of quest not worth doing. All you need to do is get the agents from there and then leave. You’ll have more than enough power, levels, and gear.

[@lumina1104]

One recommendation for the Hinterlands is to stand at the little passage past the dragonlings. Use a mage with winter's grasp and a cold-based staff. You can whittle down the Fereldan Frostback. It won't be a quick defeat, but from the right spot, the dragon can't hit you. If you do it early enough, you can gain multiple levels from the 1 fight thanks to the XP for the kill, plus you can pick up some good loot early. It might take +20 minutes if you do it really early, but it is worth it. The key rests in getting past the dragonlings and finding that safe spot to target the dragon from.

[@jekw23]

Loved this game. Remember playing on the hardest difficulty and literally crawling around the map for the first half dreading every encounter. Must dust this one off again.

[@SabvachiLeng]

I cried. You really have to craft your own armor and weapons, what you find in chests and loots literally won't do anything, but that's what made it fun for me

[@ZenDragonStarmor]

I agree with this review. The only reason the character models are so lifeless in some scene is because ea forced bioware to shoe horn in a pointless multiplayer that had micro transactions. If it hadn't been for that they could have had more time to polish and refine the characters.

[@ryderstorm9469]

For real right? It’s not like the multiplayer was terrible, but it wasn’t anything special either!

Dragon Age will always have a special place in my heart, It was the first game I consider RPG/Strategy since you can pause and switch characters. Also it is the closest thing I had to playing a DND video game. I know there's Baldur's Gate and Pathfinder that came first but Dragon Age was where I started and is what i will compare all other games to. Imagine being able to pause and control multiple characters in a non-turn-base rpg game.

I will say a second playthrough was worth it because players often miss a companion or two. The combat and other gimmicks are just a slog, only time fighting gets real fun for me is against dragons which are wicked cool in this game.

Anyway, it was actually the very first action game I had ever played. It also helped that I could play as a *customizable* MC, who didn't *have* to be a human or a man. Also because I had all the time in the world to play it during lockdown and my sickness- the side quests didn't bother me at first. (I usually skip them now because I'm a working adult.) Its by far my favorite DA game ever! The characters, the story, the romances (actually thats super important to me.) It was absolutely everything I wanted in a game. EVERYTHING. Which is why its my favorite. Side note- I became obsessed with hunting down dragons and crafting. I loved boss killing more than anything and the materials and loot were amazing for crafting and builds.

[@I_Am_The_Social_Reject]

Inquisition sucked to me. One of the worst AAA games I beat. That's one reason. Main reason was the combat was way too easy even though I played on Nightmare. No strategy. Origins (found out PC was way harder so most probably don't know) and 2 on Nightmare was great difficulty. Lots of strategy involved. In Inquisition, I killed almost all enemies with basic abilities. Kick and attack killed most things no problem. Another reason I hated it was I couldn't romance the only character I wanted to romance. She was gay. I didn't like most of the characters. Felt dull. Story just sucked in general to me. It's continued from DLC which I didn't do. Ends on DLC too. That part is sorta on me, but at the same time, when no other game does this, not really. Plus a game needs to stand on it's own. Last reason was the world. It was boring, empty, mounts were just as slow as you, and most quests were fetch quests and felt like an MMO. Overrated? You could say that lol

I've played through DAI once and restarted it twice. I'm currently playing thru as an Elven archer rogue because a lot of the time I find all the running around needed to play a fighter/warrior in combat a bit boring. The one thing I'm finding troublesome is all the fetch-type quests; collecting shards and etc. I'm dreading doing the Orlesian Court section where you spend time running around looking for the twenty wooden horse toys because the moment I accidentally find the first one I'll become obsessed with "gotta get'em all!" I did my first play-thru as an Elven mage and this time I wanted especially to chase the romance with egg-head, er, Solas because I want to learn everything I can about him to have a better understanding of what's going on in the next game. I also did a start game as a Qunari warrior just to try something different and maybe see if we get any more Qunari lore but the game got aborted and lost during an OS crash. I have a theory about who the Qunari are and I'd like to see if I can find any corroborating evidence besides what's already obviously in the game and expansions.

[@Dr.SamLoomis]

I forgot I bought this game and all it's DLC on PS4 years ago.I just never got around to playing it. Downloading it on on my PS5 now....like 6 years after purchase lol. That's why I love videos like this. You've earned another sub.

[@2smoothone670]

I love this game! Thee only thing I wish we could have had some legacy characters that coul have given us like Bethany, Sebastian, Merril,and some others we had time with in previous dragon age games.

[@samvimes9510]

9:15 part of the reason why ME: Andromeda was so rough is because they had a bunch of inexperienced people working on the game. For example, the lead facial animator (Allie Rose-Marie Leost) was a cosplayer and makeup artist with zero experience in game development. The Frostbite engine is already a bad choice for these types of games, so throwing people with no experience into the mix was never going to end well.

[@aaronlauretani8921]

It's a great underrated game. It's funny saying that given that it won GOTY, but it receives too much harsh criticism. I really do think a lot of people play the game the "wrong" way. If you stay in one area the whole time as if you were in Witcher 3 exploring Velen, then yes, the game begins to feel empty. I'm convinced this is not how the game was intended to be played. The different large areas complement the main content and provide a great cool-down from doing the main missions, companion quests, and talking to your companions in the hub world to build your relationships. Also, I simply never bothered trying to 100% complete the game, so ignoring some of the more trifling collectibles was easy (and it's not like you get a worse ending for doing so). The story is incredible, the choices are great, and Trespasser is the best Dragon Age DLC of all time hands down. I can't wait for the fourth game.

[@TheSkyrimInquisitor]

I miss this game so much. I'm itching to play it but I told myself to open up to the ones I've not played before (this lead me to Bioshock recently, I'm not mad!). I played all of DA games and this one appeals to me the most. The companions, the atmosphere, music... Just last night I had a dream with Solas in it. Loved it. Love him as well. How would have thought a grumpy bald elf would turn out to be a hidden gem. It's why DAI is my favourite, the characters. It's a shame this game doesn't have a first person view, the details are lost in the third perspective. I downloaded an engine for screenshots (lets you roam) and I was beyond shocked how beautiful everything is. And as for nudity I THINK Casandra's and Sera's romance has it, but I've not played them so I can't be certain.

[@corriepowell6964]

My husband and I are playing now also. Ferelden locks. I didn't kill anyone in the Hinterlands until I got the cage requisition then went on a killing spree. They dropped 22 locks for me! My husband has yet to get it and gave up. Love this game! Love the different character choices. I learn something new every time I play.

If you want to play a tanky mage get some silverite and the fade touched silverite the one with 5 guard on hit apply to armor and the fade touched Obsidian for 3 guard on hit the silverite allows Mage to where battlemaster armor normally meant for just warriors and it looks cool as hell then spam energy barrage as each one counts as a hit and constantly use Barrier on yourself and party members just in case, very few encounters will be able to down you even on nightmare

I'm not very far into this game, and this is my first Dragon Age game I've played. But holy hell is this fun. Love this game, can't wait to see what happens next. But as for buying it, I got it on Steam during the last sale, along with a bunch of other cool games. I'm at the point where it's a matter of too many yames, not enough time and/or harddrive space.

Just a general note Mr Hulthen. In most rpgs. The spellcaster is always the squishiest because they're so powerful. They're meant as ranged fighters mostly as not as a close quarters tank

This was my first DA game back in 2014 and I loved it. The gameplay was good and the story, especially the twist and its subsequent follow up in the DLC's are perfect. And the music is spot on! I still hum the tunes to this day. My only only gripe with the game is the large empty environments and the more tedious quests like the shards. All in all, a pretty solid game. Im eargerly anticipating the follow up, but the way bioware is being run, we'll probably get on maybe in 2024.

I don't want to be to negative so I will start with my positive thoughts. Yeah the games visuals still hold up okay, it isn't Ghosts of Tsushima but it isn't bad by any means. The characters are really strong and well written. The negatives much stronger than I think a lot of people think. The game play, especially combat animations, don't hold up to modern standards, the job board becomes a hinder mid game has you end up waiting for the table to make progress on quests.
