decent combat, good exploration, awful writing & story, awful characters & character development

overall its a 7.5/10, maybe 8/10 if youre generous
>>
>>339867206
I'm a sucker for loot and crafting so I loved it. I actually liked the story a lot. The romance options for a guy are terrible, Cass is literally the only decent option. But the civil war in Orlais was cool as fuck and the elf temple stuff was nice as well. The combat is kinda boring but it's not jrpg tier shit.

Bioware just can't make good RPGs anymore. Or maybe they never could and did in fact have to rely on Black Isle for nearly everything.

>>339867206
Not as bad as widely claimed, but not GOTY 2014 either, even if 2014 was a terrible year.
Certainly not a return to from for bioware, considering they have only very rudimentary talents left, but it definitely showed some promise.
>>
>>339873101
yeah you're right even witcher managed with that last release :6D
>>
I mostly liked it but it really fucking drags with all the pointless sidequests.
>>
>>339867206
The quests at the war table that take 15 real time hours or more brought me anger whenever I chose to accept them.
>>
>>339874598
Mod the game then.
>>
I'm curious, too. The GOTY edition on Amazon sales for $20. I actually really enjoyed Origins and Awakenings, but I hated DA:2.
>>
>>339874794
There is no extra disc that comes with the GOTY edition.
It's all one massive download.

But if you're asking if it is good
Jaws of Hakkon = fun at higher levels and gives good loot, but the quest is meh...
The Decent = Better. Gives best loot in the entire game. But the quest leaves too many unanswered questions.
Trespasser = Answers some questions and gives an epilogue to characters, but tries too hard to set up a sequel.
>>
>>339867206
It's actually a pretty decent game. I liked most of the quests, the lore was fantastic, most of the characters were pretty good with great voice acting. I think it's a promising, huge step forward and I'm tired of seeing so much hatred for it just "because it's bioware".

>>339874794
The DLC are good too and they answer many questions. Jaws of Hakkon focuses on exploration and shows more about the Avvar culture and the first Inquisitor. It also hints at some elven stuff and a scaled race lurking in the underground.

The Descent reveals the identity of a very important entity/creature and you will love it if you like dwarven lore. It's also a sort of dungeon crawler, the more you go down, the more difficult the battles become.

Trespasser is the best one. Great plot, it gives a big sense of anxiety/alarm, also helped by the god tier ost). You see how the choices you took in the main game influence Thedas (it's set 2 years after the main game) and it sets up the scene for the next game.

It was written by Weekes instead of Gaider and the difference is huge: some parts of the DLC are even better than some parts of the main game.

Meh/10
played it once and have no desire for a second playthrough
played an archer with the thing that gives you two clones that copy your moves +leapshot +lowers your cooldowns per arrow hit or something so you could just spam leapshot
i thought it would be strong, and it was
It was so strong it would 1hit dragons and glitch the game so hard you'd have to reset

fucking hilarious seeing the shitty cutscenes, its just more funny when its your own character and you actually see how fucking bad the scenes are set up
they really need to hire some good animators jesus fucking christ man.
over all, not worth what i payed for it but i enjoyed it for the most part, except the damn final boss battle was glitched as fuck, i spent like 3 hours trying to make this fucking jump to the next area(where you fight the dragon) because the Boss was invulnerable but not activating the next cutscene
and fuck me the loading times were dismal

With the strength of my inquisition I should have been given the choice to full out conquer the place. Having over 1,000 power and being forced to disband/ bow to Orlesian bureaucrats or inbred Ferelden Dog-fuckers?

Boring ass exploration
Shit story and characters

pirated only because people told me my witchfu was going to be in the game.

Watching her gush about my warden made going through all the fucking side quests worth it.

Torrenting it and DA2 as we speak because I'm fucking bored and looking for something ARPG-esque that I haven't indulged in for the last couple years.

Doesn't make either of them good games.

Yes. That's the ordering I go by.

i have been wondering,
can you just jump in the dragon age inquistion without doing dragon age 1 ? or is everything like story driven like mass effect where you import characters

This game is fucking terrible. I bought it a week ago and literally threw it into the garbage. Nobody should have to play shit like this.

Couldn't give my character black hair, returned it the next day

>>339878401
This is exactly what I did like 2 days ago. Started playing yesterday.

I hated 2 and loved Origins. It's taking a substantial part of my time (partially because I've had a few days off work). So far I give it a 7.5/10, reminds me of why I liked this series in the first place. I like crafting, but hate some of the companions.

Trying to fuck Cassandra now.

You can just do the Dragon Age keep thing and create your own save game to import your choices.

You can just jump into it but there are a lot of returning characters so you'll kinda miss out.

You import characters but it's not really that important since all the Dragon Ages follow different Heroes. All it amounts to now is people acknowledging certain choices and maybe seeing your created character for a few minutes.

It attempted to be "open world" but all it ended up being was a single player MMO with "20 bear asses" tier side quests.

The main quest wasn't much better, and the story was awful.
>>
>>339879354
It's amazing how EA took ME1 and DA:O, continued the trilogy by making them low tier cash grabs. DA:I tries, but it isn't enough. What these series should have been and what we needed up getting is a travesty.

DA2 finished installing. Time to mage fuckers to shit.
>>
I enjoyed the first 40 minutes or so, after I beat the first boss.

I felt overwhelmed by the amount of content that I had in front of me, so I played a bunch of other games instead. That was a year ago, haven't touched it again today.

If you ignore the shitty story, boring setting, and the worst characters from a AAA game ever made its honestly alright. Most of those things don't matter to me and combat isnt as bad as people act. Overall its only like a 5/10 game on a true scale not this everything is a 7 bullshit.

It's just disappointing how they promised the game would be about being a boss and creating your own faction, but the customization is almost non-existent. They sacrificed that for the story, and even that was subpar at best.

this sums up my experience with inquisition perfectly. pretty much every spect of the game has me flipping between "this is pretty fun/good" and "christ this is trash"

>>339867206
Totally worth $10. Stick with it though. Its not a game you can put on the shelf. You won't go back to it.

I'm trying to get into Dragon Age.

So Origins is good, I can skip 2 and Inquisition is worth a playthrough?
>>
>>339885386
No you can't skip 2
>>
>>339885386
2 isnt as bad as everyone says it is and I think is worth playing.

But you can skip everything and go right to Inqusition if you want, they made their own save generator at dragon age keep or whatever that lets you set almost every single choice.

Don't skip it, the characters are fun and Inquisition will feel more familiar if you play 2 first.

2 is actually extremely important to the plot of Inquisition since all the shit that goes down in that is continued in Inquisition. 2 isnt a bad game as long as you go in full well knowing it wont be as good as Origins

Games pretty good. Suffers for being open world I think, its almost all optional side stuff but it would be better if it was something you wanted to do, like companion quests or whatever.

Been trying to start the game four times already, mostly because of friends insisting it gets better.

You have to keep in mind that Dragon Age 2 had a development cycle of 12 months.
The original Dragon Age was in development since 2004 or earlier and came out in 2009.

You don't make RPGs in 12-14 months ffs

There was more of a sense of them learning to live their lives with one another for than the other games had.

Pretty good. The charters aren't as good as 2 or Origins are. The environments are very well designed and nice to look at, combat is close to being fun, but ends up being bland and somewhat boring. The "WOW SO PROGRESSIVE" isn't as bad as /v/ likes to pretend (the transgendered character can be ignored entirely). The strongest selling point is the plot, which while an Oblivion knock-off, actually has some pretty unique themes about faith and religion.

Overall, it's not terrible, not fantastic, the reputation it's earned has more to do with when it was released. I give it a 6.5/10

2 is worse than bad; it's a collection of cool ideas with terrible execution (inn which measure its innate inability of the team or development woes I won't wager, but I certainly don't trust the team myself).

Man trespasser and that final boss were so fucking fun, I don't care what anyone says. It was an absolute blast. I think that was the only boss Bioware has ever done that was truly fantastic.

Combat was meh
Exploration was cool at first but quickly becomes mmo tier

Everything was so meh. Like i didnt even realize that the game was over until the credits started rolling because the ending was so anti climatic. Even 2 had a better finale. After playing the Witcher 3 and trying to go back to this game, holy shit its like going from Dark Souls to Skyrim.

The spic chick barely has a romance though. Cass' may have that one scene but there romance itself was still decent

Personally I find fucking God to be the best romantic storyline in the game, but that's partially because all of them were pretty shit

In DAO you have your stats,auto attacks and talents that's it. It is a very simplistic combat system many of the old MMOs have the same combat system.

You should explore the tactics menu, it's pretty unique and interesting.

I have been wondering about getting Dragon Age: Origins for some time now, but the inmense ammount of DLC puts me off, as there's no special edition that includes it all, and I can't help but feel like I'd be missing out.

Thus I turn to you for advice, /v/. Is it worth it getting DA:O on PS3? Are any DLCs absolute must-haves?

How do you manage? When I started my warrior character I intended to go 2-handed but I kept getting my shit wrecked. When I switched to 1-handed I started tearing shit up.

Also, Reaver would be cool if Ring of Pain didn't suck all my stamina and prevent me from using abilities. I went for champion instead.

Hm, I looked around and apparently the bundle was taken out of the online store quite some time ago. Bummer.

However, Amazon seems to still have decently priced units in stock. Is the DLC included on disc or do you get a voucher with codes to download them? Wouldn't want to get it only to find the codes have expired, since the game is rather old

Why would you use War Cry when Challenge upgraded to Call Them Out is better? Call Them Out has zero cooldown and allows you to max your guard meter faster.

eh

Origins was decent. I see a lot of people hating on Inquisition without going into detail. I have a couple of gripes myself.

Your character looks like their hair is constantly greasy as if they're secretly ordering dominoes when no one is looking and that elf slut who wakes you up after slaying Pride Demon always throws in a full body massage with the leftover oils because she's a naive little whore and all it would take is some decisive grooming to manipulate her from a position of power or authority. Like a Jekyl and Hyde type situation. I would have rather fucked her than any of those side pieces, you know? The thought of other romances just didn't get me as excited except maybe Sera but i guess she's a dyke.

By the way which class is the best? I was thinking of going rogue since they can solo dangerous areas

I just recently finished it.

Over all eh game with a ton more fetch quests and meaningless side quests (especially the war table). Crafting shit doesn't even matter. The actual game play is utter shit though. I thought DA2 was terrible, but the gameplay mechanics in this takes it to another level.

Thank you for collecting all the people with horrible taste in one thread. You're a great man/shill.

>>339894735
for the class? It just works. Barriers are your bread and butter.

Focus on the Spirit Tree + the Knight Enchanter tree and get all skills ASAP.

After you get Fade Shield you'll be renegerating your barrier after each time you attack so just go in like Guts and never stop attacking once you begin a fight.

Fade Cloak can get you invisible and be able to get inside other people's bodies to decloak and do a fuckton of damage.

It's good for one full playthrough, honestly. It wraps up a bunch of the storylines from the previous games and answers questions while taking the best parts of the combat from the first two games and mashing it together into a system that works.

It's basically mad homo fanfiction, that's all there is to know. There's literally only one negative review before autistic /v/irgins started pastering hamburger helper memes all over amazon and goodreads.

>I liked the premise behind the story of M.I.T.H., that America is really a great world power because we have harnessed magic from historical objects. And, in order to keep that power there is an elite branch of the C.I.A that investigates anthropological sites to find more magical artifacts. But, as I read, I found the story lacking and when two main characters pause in the middle of the impending apocalypse to make out, I almost stopped reading. I liked the Mayan historical tie-in referencing their calander and history of 5 worlds. But, thought the depiction of the current Mayan tribe as stereotypical and the crazed dooms day villain in native dress as offensive. I wish this first issue about the M.I.T.H. squad was better developed and more culturally sensitive

That's...debatable, to say the least.

At least 2 had a good setting. Neither game is really like Origins though.
