They unretconned her death but it's still kind of "eh" damage control. It's revealed that the Leliana you meet in DA2 and DA: Inquisition is a Fade spirit of some sort, only if she died in Origins. Personally, while I appreciate this as a form of retcon damage control, I still would've preferred they replace her if she died in Origins. Otherwise, why even give the option of killing her in the first place?

[@1DoctorWolf]

+alex14676 As Origins is really good, the other ones are too, any Dragon Age game wasn't too big on exploring, if anything Inquisition is more open and exploitative(but it more or less bores me), you can't go certain places in Origins or DA2 which I didn't like too much, and I don't like how there is less RPG elements in the newer games, but I do like how they made playing it strategic in fighting was made an option rather than mandatory like Origins was (I sucked at it : / )

[@jdawgbiggums7683]

GamerWolf You have to take in consideration that's how it's supposed to be. Strategy was very integral with isometric rpgs especially the ones made by Bioware. DA 2 barely had any of the strategic elements that Origins had and Inquisition canned what was left of it.

[@1DoctorWolf]

Joshua Derr I am aware of that, some of my favorite games is KoTOR and KoTOR 2 which I think are very strategic games, but I personally enjoy in Dragon Age it being a choice, I haven't used the the strategy view in DA:I much I don't know if it sucks or not. I'm not enjoying how BioWare is changing, (I blame EA) they're becoming less RPG and more Fantasy/Action Games with a very heavy story. I'll still play the games and enjoy them too because I love the stories and universe, but I certainly didn't like the lack of dialogue options, choices, and cutscene type conversations in DA:I, along with major RPG elements taken away

[@1DoctorWolf]

Shin Garugamesh I'm pretty sure I said I didn't like it much and if I didn't then... I don't like it, my questlog is 90% Hinterlands and 10% everything else, waaay too many sidequests, it does make me feel like I'm playing World of Warcraft

"this game had a soul". This is my main issue with DA Inquisition. I found no soul in it in all of the huge areas. DA2 was a tragic mess, but it was a technical mess that had a soul buried in it.

[@jonathan13co]

@@olirikable I disagree. the main story, companions, soundtrack and arts in inquisition were really good. I think where the game fell short is in the side content and combat system. It's just a massive downgrade in depth and customization compared to origins. The game definitely had soul, its just that whoever was the lead designer in building interactive and engaging areas absolutely sucked. Sadly that's a very big portion of the game.

[@PiecykM]

+Michiify am I only around here, who dislikes DA3 controls? Seriously, 'tactic overwiev' shows less then third person. third person required moveing by 'wasd' and keep attacks. Binary AI customizations... Dragon Age was like Baldur's Gate, and now...? IMO, DA2 is more likely to DA1 than DA3.

[@PiecykM]

The Corpulent Panda I can't agree at all. Inquisition have great story, i love beeing herold, and my advaisors, full open world, and details like portraits of my companions... I just can't stand battle system. In fact, team do what they will, Tactics only allow them to use abbilities, not depend on situation like previous games. In third person, you play like some hack'n'slash, and 'tactical' view shows even less then default view. DA2 was great refresh, mindfull battles, with cool looks. in DAI, it's more like keeps you character attack.

The reason its so rare is because this game had a total of 6-10 years development time (I've seen multiple sources cite different amount of years so its hard to say for sure).

@@arcticdream4905 I don't see how mentioning Neverwinter Nights and KOTR without any context is relevant in your argument? And I lit already said it was somewhere 6-10 years based on multiple sources. I know one of the writers David Gaider said in a eurogamer interview he was at least busy with it the game for 6 years. The Wiki pages quotes a source saying development for the first Demo started in 2002 (the game released in 2009) meaning the game took at least 7 years to develop. This doesn't even take preproduction into account as they are talking about development of a demo in 2002. Which is why it probably took more then 7 years.

@@I_hunt_lolis Let me put it like this: Gibberish is a string of sounds that is made to get a certain sound or feel across, but the individual sounds and "words" don't mean anything. Many fantasy soundtracks use this to make epic sounding choirs, but the lyrics they sing are just there to sound cool. A conlang, like any natural language, is comprised of a set of specified sounds, rules on how to string these sounds together, and those form individual morphemes, or units of meaning. With these units of meaning, you can then build full words and sentences. Therefore, it's not gibberish anymore.

[@symbolitical4158]

@@FizCap I mean ultimately Witcher 3 destroyed every AAA title ever made, became the best RPG game to do date and arguably could be the game of the decade. But my god, regardless this game just has something nostalgic, special, beautiful. As everyone else says, it has soul. Strange because no other game has the same thing to the point where a memory actually feels real (except for Witcher 3 possibly).

Gentlemen who came here after the trailer DA4 to cry together about a wasted masterpiece 😢👍🏼

[@shortbread1818]

Sorry but I'm gonna say it. Dragon Age 2 *didn't* suck. Granted it was nowhere near as good as Dragon Age Origins, but it's completely foolish to say the game was garbage. The story had great setup for Inquisition, while also telling the tale of a completely new character and a rise to glory in the aftermath/sorta during what was to be the (possible) destruction of all life. Was it amazing? No. Was it bad? No. It was too different for some people, and that's okay. But I admire Bioware for trying something different than they ever had before storywise. People need to stop hating on a game that doesn't deserve it.

[@crimsonwolf38]

here here! I actually liked the entire series, and eagerly awaiting (Hopefully) another one!

[@redhunter8731]

Nope, it didn't suck at all. Inquistion is bad compared to the first two.

[@Killearth3]

Well, here's some of the reasons I hated DA2 if you want : - No origin system anymore - Whole game setup is in the same ugly city - Plot is terrible (in my opinion). You go from saving the world in DAO to dealing about quarrels between mages and templars in one city, and getting some social elevation - Gameplay went from strategy + difficulty to button mashing + AOE spamming - Speaking of fights, ennemies spawn by packs of 20. Like, in DAO you were like "oooooo a demon!", here you're like "ffs that's the 10th pack of demons I killed today". You also kill more bandits than there seems to be inhabitants in this city - Game is short (although in this particular case, it was a good thing) - Once again that's only my opinion, all the characters except Varric seemed boring to me - To end with, like many comments say here, DAO had a soul, DA2 had none. You don't feel the magic I never hated a game sequel in my life as much as I did with DA2. There was literally nothing good about this game, except maybe the Qunaris.

[@Pfuscher1000]

The story never went anyway until the very end..... and then the game was suddenly over. I mean, if you just take it as a single game it was pretty fucking terrible... But you seem to consider it as a longer prequel to DA:I

[@coolkid350]

My only complaint about Dragon Age 2 was due to how linear it was but other than that, to me it was a PERFECT followup to origins in terms of world building imo.

[@thomaspantrias9635]

​@@ovidiu-georgesaghin1378 the old writing team behind the dragon age and mass effect left Bioware. The problems began since Dragon age 2 with Eas involvement, me Andromeda production hell from a team inside of Bioware that worked only on me3 multiplayer, the lack of support on Anthem. All this led to Bioware to become a shadow of its former self. Thankfully Bioware didn't close yet and I'm afraid for the future the reception for Veil guard is lacking but I think the only good thing that came out from the EAs money are the money that Bioware spend to make Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 2 I don't think without them we could have got both masterpieces.

Nebuchadnezzaurus Both my friend and I enjoyed DA2 - sure it doesn't live up to the scope of the 1st one, but it certainly has its moments. Personally I think if DA2 had been released first, a lot more people would've enjoyed it for its own merits.

[@shaughncasey4385]

Nebuchadnezzaurus I find DA2 to be largely a completely different genre of game. The soul of Dragon Age Origins was a CRPG with elements of action RPG in it. DA2 was a console action RPG and just felt like an entirely different sort of game to me because of it -- and often rushed. I stormed the same beachhead heaven knows how many times.
