Objectively correct, At least in dragon age 2 you could be a snarky asshole but in inquisition you can either be nice guy, or rude but well meaning guy.

>>344938930
You sister only dies if you play as mage as well.

IIRC at least. Could be if you play female.

She is one of the best characters though. Same you can't romance her. Though even if you could it would probably do that "lol not really your sister" bullshit halfway through like that witcher clone demon game.

Sister dies if you play a mage, brother dies if you play warrior/rogue. It's to make sure you have at least one mage in your party early on.

I'm going to clue you in right now as to how DA:2 is the best game in the Dragon Age franchise. First, let's begin by asking ourselves who the biggest menaces are within the confines of the DA universe. Who are they? It's the mages - literal Dindus susceptible to demonic possession 24/7. They can shoot fireballs from their eyes and bolts of lightning from their arse in addition to taking deals from Pride Demons because of #magelivesmatter. In DA:2 you can fuck over mages at every turn. You can kill them, you can rat on them, you can piss off mage companions, and you can side with Meredith who literally did nothing wrong. DA2 is the only game to properly address the mage menace and give you the options to holocaust them as nature intended.

Bethany is boring as shit, and becomes downright rude to your character later on, especially if you turn her into a Warden.

The only bad part of Inquisition was the main character and Hinterlands/MMO-tier quests. The companions and design were way better than DAII, as was the story even if it was shit.

>He didn't pick mage

Carver is an objectively better character than Bethany.
>>
>>344940798

That makes no sense to me. Being a Grey Warden is a privilege, and they're heroes. She can practice magic of any sort, without getting hunted by Templars. Being stuck in the circle is stifling, and she can even die in the final act as a circle mage.

If you treated one of them like a crazy person, they would become more crazy. If you treated them decently, they would have been decent. Rather than just 'everyone is crazy all the time.' Letting the player have an influence on the story.
It would have also reinforced the message they were trying to push. That childlike 'the mages are only bad because we treat them badly' logic.

She's only partly to blame. The Qunari were there because they couldn't leave without the book, but they became so disgusted with the behavior they saw in Kirkwall that they eventually just started murdering everyone.

it's super obviously rushed, the story is ass with multiple plot holes and a forced rushed asspull ending, most of the assets are reused to the point of absurdity(locations) and tedium(encounters), it butchers a few returning characters from DA1 and DA1:O, it squanders the setting to keep you sucking dick in the same city to keep reusing those assets for the entire game and if you missed it the story is in the same realm of retarded as Mass Effect 3's ending

And of course being the sequel to a pretty tight game like DA1 is salt in the wound.

I don't understand how Bioware's animation quality has taken such a nosedive

In Inquisition they mostly use stock and recycled animations everywhere, jarringly try to use every camera angle trick in the book to hide the shitty quality of it, often fail even at that, and it's just shit.

Then here they did the effort of making custom animations for each cutscene and the animations were high quality. I mean those fighting animations are so sexy. Why did they stop doing this?

>Enemies literally jumping out of thin air constantly.

This made me so mad, especially when compared to Origins where positioning was critical: warrios covering the mages and looking out for their rogues.

In 2 you kill 10 guys in front and then 10 more appear at your back so it's all a clusterfuck where you just spam whatever abilities you have.

>>344943736
Can you really blame people?
It's obvious that bioware focused on the female fanbase more than the male one.
Most romances are with male characters and one of the few females is lesbian.
A lot of fans got upset with the decision.
Also this name was fairly commonly used when the game was about to be released.

I refuse to believe anyone can consider 2 to be anything but the worst. Inquisition isn't perfect but it blows 2 away in almost every regard.

I replayed it last year too. It wasn't quite as bad as I remembered but all of the glaring flaws were still there. I do have to say that I somehow totally missed Isabella and it improved my experience.

After DA2 I couldn't be bothered even pirating Inquisition. Didn't even touch DA:O

both dragon age 2 and inquisition are shit games. there shouldn't even be a game of the year award if inquisition is winning them.

I just played Origins and it definitely has enemies spawning out of thin air as well, just not every single encounter. But you get pretty buttfucked when your mage(s) go down.

>>344946292
Reason why Inquisition won GOTY was because 2014 was a terrible year for games and especially RPGs.
>>
>>344946269
the gameplay maybe was shit, but the combat was well implemented even if simplified.
By all that I mean that it felt fluid.
One of my peeves with DAO is that the combat is a bit clunky, I thought DA2 fixed that.

Reused assets. Pretty good dlc. Falling in love with the great character. Reused assets. Kind of casualized combat and rpg but still not as bad as DA:I. Glorious bants with Varric AKA the best character this series has ever produced. Reused assets. Pretty great boss fights. Reused assets.
>>
I prefer Inquisition over DA2.
Pre-skyhold Inquisition is fucking terrible, if you could skip the start i'd do it everytime. Once you finally get shit going it becomes much more fun. I enjoyed the gameplay, character. The combat, crafting, weapons, armor styles, graphics and characters (to an extent). I do miss the silly banter from DA2 though and Meredith literally did nothing wrong.
>>
>>344946367
>it definitely has enemies spawning out of thin air as well

It doesn't, at least not in the sense DA2 does. DA2 often spawns shit behind you or anywhere on the battlefield really, it's jarringly "gamey" and it makes all strategical thinking moot because during a battle enemies can spawn in completely nonsensical locations.

In Origins they have the courtesy to not spawn the enemies on top of you and there's a predictable logic to it(enemies come out of a gate for example, they don't spawn out of nowhere next to your character).

Varric debuted in a game where all of your other companions except maybe Aveline was an unlikable retard

I haven't played Inquisition yet, but BioWare basically salvaged the only likable people from DA2 (Varric and Cassandra the hot BDSM girl who interviewed him) and made them your companions in Inquisition.

Sera is literally the worst character in the entire series. She honestly had potential to be a far better character but she just doesn't adapt at all.
