Is Dragon Age: Inquisition any good?
I never tried it but I think it's reasonable to say it's an ok game
It's an 8/10 game plagued by Bioware Quality.
Some of the DLC makes the game a bit more bearable, but overall the gameplay can get a bit repetitive. Romance was butchered even more for the sake of diversity.
Hope you weren't planning on playing Dwarf and having a Dwarf romance, because yo ain't getting shit.
>>321475935
Do you think it's worth getting with all the DLC for 20$?
I've only heard bad things and I still wanna take a crack at it. Prolly won't till its like 15 bux
>>321476005
Playing it right now
41h in and i say yes
And fuck those guys who say the chatacters are shit, diverse enough so they arent all the same and there is enough for anybody to make a party they will enjoy having
Just dont worry about the hinterlands too much
>>321476005
Well, going by the price you listed, you're going for the PS4 version, right?
You got 3 days to play the 6 hour trial that is available. But, I guess 20 dollars for a GOTY edition that was just recently released is a good deal.
I certainly recommend getting it if it's on special. It's a genuinely good game, the start is a bit slow but once you get the ball rolling it gets a bit addicting.
If you're on PC the goty version is 29$ on Origins, it's probably on sale on PSN or something right now too.
It's awfully written single player MMO
>>321475460
It's a shitty MMO simulator. Anon trust me this game is really, really bad. It isn't even ok. Please don't give bioware any of your money.
>>321476578

Lies. Lies from a whores mouth.

I don't know about the romance overall but my romance with Cass was good.
I don't get the memes. Dragon Age was always a mediocre franchise that played like an offline MMO.

DAI's story was trash though it was like watching a bad Saturday morning cartoon and the game was constantly shitting on its franchises established lore.

Troika, GSC gameworld and Obsidian.
GSC shut down, Troika don't really make stuff and the only games Obsidian is able to make now are crowdfunded although POE and Wasteland were still pretty good.
>>321478093
*Troika Shut down too
My bad
>>321477841
I don't know much about videogame companies so I can't really give you a answer. I just know that bioware are a bunch of lazy hacks who don't respect their customers and you shouldn't give money to folks like that.
>>321475460
It's a singleplayer mmo, with a meh story.
No where near as good as origins.
>>321475460
no, it's boring
>>321475460
get it, but be warned about the side objectives that cause you to veer off early on. for some, it becomes tedious to stay in the first section so the moment you have access to move out of hinterlands, do it. later on you can freely travel to unlocked areas to go back and complete those sidequests if you care.
>>321477408
You know it's a good game anon. Don't deny your feelings
>>321478093
>Obsidian
When will this meme end
It's ok. Characters are decent, gameplay is dry, story is just above average, Gaider still won't let you romance dwarves.
>>321479694
Stop trying to get people to buy this trash you fucking psychopath.
ANYONE WHO SAYS DAI IS GOOD ARE LAIRS AND SICK PUPPIES. THEY JUST WANT YOU TO WASTE YOUR MONEY.
>>321480806
How dare you call me a lair.
It was cool that you can play as those dudes with horns.
>>321481019
Yeah, but they fucked them up. They were the best part of DA2, arguably the only good part. I want my Monster Muslim Murder Squad back.
If you liked DAO you'll like DAI.
The AI's okayish on every mode but nightmare.
Romance is meh but if you wanted a romance sim you should just get Weeb Loli-sim 4

>>321481729
Other than the superior AI control, what was DAI missing that DAO wasn't? The game play and mechanics were a direct upgrade.
>>321481716
Because they reused a villian from an MMO
They removed a lot skills
They removed tactics that even DA2 had and improved on DAO
The characters lack any depth
The combat has no strategy and the attacks lack any sort of weight
The writing is awful, especially the whole you being the villian to a hero in the first two minutes
Retcons and more retcons
The world is empty and lifeless
The game reuses the same enemies over and over
All quests were kill everyone or collect something, sometimes both
DA:I was bad RPG and a bad game.

Got the same bundle for $24. I was on the fence for a long time about this and the Christmas sale got me.
I also got Titanfall with all its content for $5 but haven't played it yet. Not even sure if it's all that fun, but I could spare $5 for a full collection of it
>>321475460
no
>>321481994
I fear you might be suffering from rosy glasses, friend. Much of what you're listing describes Origins better than you think.
ive only played the original release without the DLC.
dragon hunting was much more fun than main story. The big bad was just uninspired.
>>321475460
>Is Dragon Age: Inquisition any good?
Yes, I has it's moments.
>>321482490
Nice try, shitlord. I replay Origins 6 months ago and had a great time. This time I pretended to support Anora for bid to the throne but figuratively backstabbed her at the end and put Alistair on the throne, it was great.

>>321481994
>Because they reused a villian from an MMO
They didn't.
>They removed a lot skills
Oh yeah shapeshifting, trapmaking, poison/health making (Healed/poison did nothing), and a bunch of OP shit. Those were surely missed.
>They removed tactics that even DA2 had and improved on DAO
Agreed
>The characters lack any depth
They had just as much depth as DAO characters did. inb4 SJW boogeyman
>The combat has no strategy and the attacks lack any sort of weight
The combat was exactly the same, just smoother and relied more on setting up/detonating combos and team building
>The writing is awful, especially the whole you being the villian to a hero in the first two minutes
You're not a villain, you're being held for questioning becauseany sane person would interrogate you if you+devine went into the fade and you+no devine came out.
>Retcons and more retcons
Such as?
>The world is empty and lifeless
Just like DAO, DA2, or ANY open world game?
>The game reuses the same enemies over and over
They had all the enemies of DAO and DA2, and added more.
>All quests were kill everyone or collect something, sometimes both
Yeah DAO and DA2 quests totally weren't that.
>single player mmo
what do people mean by this
>>321482670
Right, well I hope you enjoyed your tremendously deep characterization, brilliant writing, a verdant realm with even more wildlife than Inqusition apparently, totally not reused enemies and lack of fetch quests.

Obsidian is pretty good.
The gameplay was fun. I did archer my third playthrough and it was the most fun for me. The hinterlands suck, and the game is overall really grindy and annoying. The main story is mediocre at best. The characters are meh. I cringed a lot, especially at the accents of some these people. The singing scene in particular was cringy as fuck.
6/10. Fun gameplay but not much else.

It plays like a generic mmo clone. If it actually had co-op story, it might've been at least enjoyable to play. Otherwise it's a cooldowns simulator.
any deals going on for the dlc? picked this game up but never finished it but fuck if I have to pay full price for the dlc only
>>321483252
This conspiracy shit was cute for a while but it needs to stop. 4chan clearly filled with real Biodrones. It would be retarded not to expect all the fags from the general to spill over onto /v/ once in a while. There might very well be the odd Bioware employee pulling this shit but it won't account for much at all.
>>321475460
It's okay if you want a big dumb RPG to get into, but it's completely forgettable.
>>321475460
Only if you play it first. But by that logic, you should play 2 first so disregard this advice.
>>321483625
Do we look like google or origins to you?
>>321483625
50% off right now and has been for like 3 weeks (That's when I bought all the expansions)
>>321482823
I fucking hate it when someone takes a long post to counter it sentence by sentence but they don't actually counter any of the points and waste everyones time
>>321485298
All points were countered, you're just one of the many people mad that Bioware did something right for once.
Can't you just be satisfied that ME3 ending was shit and the SWTOR tanked? Or do you still like being the contrarian?
>>321485298
>everyones time
You mean your time.
It's the worst in the DA series. It feels very slow, and plods along, and plays like a single player mmo. It's alright if you want to dick around, waste some time, but buy it on sale.
>>321485627
Nothing is worse than DA2. Ass cancer is better than DA2
>>321485627
People who didn't mind DA2 honestly bewilder me. I felt trapped in a tiny game with a bunch of characters that ranged from unrelatable to downright dislikeable.
>>321486123
I played the demo and thought it was going to be shit, then I played the real game and wished it was more like the demo.
Would've been a shit ton better if the whole game was told from varrick's exaggerated perspective.
>>321477595
Cass and Josephine are the best (and probably only good, maybe besides Iron Bull) romances in the game
>>321486519
>Cassandras romance involves finding roses, candles and poetry to make her fall in love with you.
>>321486123
God, the characters. Merril was retarded, Fenris was pulled straight out of a JRPG (losing no edge in the process), Isabelle was a whore who did nothing to endear herself, Bethany was boring, Carver and Anders I'm assuming I don't even need to cover. Left only Avelyne and Varric. If I can't even get FOUR characters I like together in a party (let alone have enough of a pool to shoot for balance) then something is fucked.
>>321486123
Da2 was better then inquisition in every respect except for level design.
>>321487062
Dialogue was good and I'd find the "classics" interesting if I was a soldier all my life too.
>>321487254
>Dialogue was good
The most cliche generic crap you could ever write
>>321487147
Character cast was awful, story was inconsequential, cooldown system was retarded and the level design thing was completely unforgiveable. You can apply whatever silly, personal criteria you like in order to like any shitty fantasy RPG, but it's generally agreed that a good character cast and a sense of scale are what's important in fantasy.
>>321487381
No it fucking wasn't. She dropped the spaghetti in ways that were actually believeable and if you actually interacted romantically with women you'd realize they really are into all that shit.
Is there a big modding scene for DA:I?
Like, on xbox the GOTY edition is $24 bucks, and on origin, the GOTY edition is $29.99
Aside from better graphics, is there a reason to get the PC one over the cheaper Xbone one?
>>321487621
The characters in inquisition were just as shit as in 2; except varric was no longer even slightly funny. Both combat systems were shit, although at least you could fucking heal in 2 and it didn't pretend not to be a button masher.
da2's story was all over the place, act 1 was shit, act 2 was pretty cool and act 3 was alright. But compared to the standard find allies, beat big bad of inquisition, 2's story was great. They tried something with the time scale that didn't work out, but at least they tried.

My mistake, seems 2 has some good charecters unlike inquisition.
Don't forget to toggle mouse controls lock, don't remember how the exact option is called, so you don't have to hold RMB all the time. It's uncomfortable as fuck to play otherwise.
>>321483638
>clearly a shill
>>321488486
I'll help you a bit kiddo: one of those characters is in both, which already renders your comment asinine, and there's more than one other good character in Inquisition. I don't think you actually believe Varric is the only good PC in Inquisition; I just think you don't know when to put down the keyboard.
>>321489060
Unfortunately for you, varric turns from a kinda amusing sidekick in 2, ito a lame, boring cunt in inquisition. Maybe tell me who you think is a good character in inquisition and i'll explain how you're wrong.
in DA2 Varric felt like your best bud, but in DAI it feels like he's only here helping because he feels obligated to. Like you get the feeling he would prefer to be partying around with Hawke again instead of you.
>>321489245
Varric is very much the same person in Inquisition.
>Maybe tell me who you think is a good character in inquisition and i'll explain how you're wrong.
Further proof you can't back up your shit as responding and looking for holes is much easier than just explaining how you're. I'd be hugely impressed if you can actually explain how the cast of Inquisition, barring Sera of course, is more shit than kawaii uguu Merril or edgy JRPG Fenris or completely irredeemable Anders or Carver.

I'll put it like this: I still load up Youtube vids of Loghain's party member dialogue from time to time just to listen to the voice-acting and character building. I couldn't even finish DA:I.
If you respect the IP Bioware tried to establish in Origins, Inquisition has nothing to offer you.
>>321488486
>seems 2 has some good charecters unlike inquisition.
I liked Sera, Vivienne, Dorian, Cassandra, Cole, and Varric. Iron Bull and Blackwall were alright and Solas was kind of boring.
I bought it because, for better or worse, it's a Kingdomsnof Amalur clone. Endless nonsensical questing, stale combat, and all. It's something to waste time on, but a pretty shit game. Also ugly as fuck to look at.
Man, I miss KoA

>>321492223

Fucking awful character all the way through, from appearance to writing. It's not even a matter of being an unlike able character, she's made like a tumblrites wet dream and everything she says is cringe inducing.
>>321492408
I romanced her too and found it a rewarding venture.
>>321492465
That's because you're probably subscribed to suicidegirls.
Its very inspired by some MMO gameplay tropes. A lot of the game is spent running around collecting planets and rocks to make weapons.

How desperate do you have to be?
How's the DLC? Any of them turn out good or substantial enough to pull you back in if you enjoyed the base game?
I sold mine after beating it and had a good time with it. GOTY version is 24 bucks right now and I was considering getting it.
>>321475460
It's overall good, but it could've been much better. The last two DLCs (not the first large open area one) shows how much better it would've been if they took a more DA:Origins route with a more "compact" area design approach (with more focus on story). They just aren't that good with "open-world" stuff.
That said, the main story is overall sort of mundane. It's not DA2 bad or anything, but not anything exciting.
it's one of the most fun party-based JRPGs I've played. Also has the best romance girl ever (pic-related).
