So I finally decided to try dragon age origin and it was much better than I thought.
Should I also try dragon age inquisition considering that I liked origin ? Or is it a bad game ?
anyone?
>>341867576
>hey guys, I liked Game 1, should I play Game 2?
Jesus Christ, just play the fucking game and form your own opinion. Do you want us to tell you what shirt to wear today? What to have for lunch?
Fuck off, kid.
pic related is unavoidable, you have to interact with her
at least enough to tell her to leave and never come back
the combat is the worse its ever been in the series
story is shit
>>341866382
Nope. Origins was great. Rest are shit.
>>341866382
People like to shit on the series as a whole, but that's only since Bioware became SJW central, and the whole DA2 abortion.
Origins and Awakening are actually good since it was the swan song of old Bioware, but 2 and Inquisition are nu-Bioware trash.
>>341868079
You can tell her to fuck off the moment you met her 2bh, but the game is still pretty mediocre.
Origins is the best game in the series by far.
2 was kinda okay but still felt really small and cramped compared to Origins.
Inquisition was shit in it's purest. The combat was horrible. The characters were poorly written as was the story. It felt meager.
>>341867787
its not free retard thats the whole point of these thread. believe it or not some people like to hear other's opinion
>>341866382
If you seriously want to enjoy the whole series, play them in order, so Dragon Age II then Inquisition.
The more you play the second game, you'll slowly start to see its flaws, but it's story is interesting and different from usual fantasy games. Also the plot of the second game is needed to know in order to fully grasp the plot and politics of the third game.
The third game, Inquisition, is much better than Dragon Age II, but still has its flaws. Its weakest point is it's side quests. Ignore every single side quest you don't have to do, and just rush the main story, plus the companion quests for characters you like and are interested in. That's where the game truly excels and it's quite good. The end of the main story kind of drops the ball on itself, but otherwise everything leading up to that is very entertaining, with amazingly written characters.
So yes, it's a good game. Not perfect, but easily a 7/10 in my book, maybe a bit higher.
What's the SJW thing that people talk about in inquisition ?
>>341871391
Krem.
Don't talk to her. Just never interact with her. Never ask about about her when talking with Iron Bull. If you do this, then she's basically not in the game at all, and doesn't ruin it.
>>341867787
>How dare you come on to a video game discussion board to hear others' thoughts on video games! Faggot
Origins > shit > cisquisition > 2
>>341871391
there is a great imbalance how male characters are representated compared to female characters
the female charters are always shown as smart, strong and overall perfect while the male characters are constantly in a position of weakness and act stupid/useless
the game pretty much goes out of it´s way to present the image that women are far superior then men in every way
>>341871391
There is a transmale character and Iron Bull doesn't have a problem with him. That's literally it. Even though at one point you can have him killed.
>>341871830
>Cassandra's a hothead
>Vivienne is an arrogant politician
>Leliana goes fucking crazy
>Sera's stupid
>Josephine is naive
>>341872073
>There is a transmale character and Iron Bull doesn't have a problem with him. That's literally it. Even though at one point you can have him killed.
It's not about Iron Bull, but Qunari as a race. In the first game Sten was surprised that Leliana was doing something a man was supposed to do, and now they have a special word for a trans person.
>>341872073
Oh and people are butthurt the female characters aren't the shy submissive perfect and soulless waifus from the anime they're used to.
Except Sera. There's no excusing how fucking ugly she is.
>>341872331
In the first game Sten wasn't a huge monster man with grey skin and horns
It's not terrible but it definitely has a LOT of cons to it. It's incredibly easy and not challenging in the slightest. Hard and Nightmare mode literally do nothing to the game. At least in Origins if you played on Normal it was actually pretty hard.
The open world aspect literally blows. It's basically a singleplayer MMO. The world is completely empty and lifeless and LOTS of shitty fetch quests that aren't worth doing.
>>341866382
No dude, no. If you go into Inquisition thinking you'll get more Origins you will be deeply disappointed. The only reason anyone would like Inquisition is if they take it just as a random ARPG and leave it at that, and even then it's pretty eh.
>>341866382
If you're going to play Inquisition, you should at least torrent DA2, play it through and then just create a world state in the DA Keep, the carry over stuff is pretty satisfying in these series, even if it's not super important to the plot.
DA2 isn't by any stretch a bad game though, it's all functional and nothing in it apart from maybe environmental variety is outright bad, but it's very different to the others, and unless you get it super cheap (I've seen it for like $3), I wouldn't recommend spending your money on it.
Inquisition is better though, I enjoyed it more. Side quests kind of suck, but they're enjoyable in that weird way MMO quests sometimes are, when you just want to do some minor grindy quests and not have to really pay attention. And some did have nice changes to the environment, like burning the corpse piles in whatever the battlefield place was called, exalted plains or something like that mostly removing undead spawning around, and the forts actually repopulating. Wasn't a huge deal, but it's a nice touch to what are pretty minor quests. A couple forts are interesting as well, have cool stories contained in them at least.
It is flawed, but it has nothing to do with the SJW meme that gets forced, that was almost entirely created because they went on and on about Dorian being gay, and ignoring that he's actually one of the better written characters in the game.
>>341866382
The different games are kind of apples and oranges.
Origins was easily the most polished as far as being a grand fantasy adventure.
DA2 derives more from Mass Effect and strives for a smaller story in a contained city. Decent characters, boring environments.
Inquisition has decent atmosphere and the most impressive environments in the series, but the quests outside of the main story aren't nearly as unique or memorable.
>>341873554
>DA2 isn't by any stretch a bad game though
>Retarded story
>Terrible companions
>Anders
>Four or five locations reused for the entire game
>Everyone is bisexual
>Anders
>Waves of enemies
>Uglier then DA:O
Anon, you might have a case of bad taste.
>>341866382
Inquisition? More like Fetch Questsition am I rite?
It's ok, but not worth more than five bucks.
>>341873554
DA2 is fuckin terrible what the hell are you smoking?
>>341874068
>Retarded story
The story's fine overall, and simply calling something retarded isn't an argument.
>Terrible companions
I felt the companions were fine, they mostly had pretty okay storyline's that ran through the game, and it was interesting that you weren't the only character in the city that causes major events to occur I felt. Once again though, calling something shit isn't an argument.
>Anders
This is the same as your last point, though I'll agree he sucked.
>Four or five locations reused for the entire game
I mentioned this already.
>Everyone is bisexual
Hardly a flaw, doesn't actually impact the quality of the game at all. Would also come under your criticism of companions.
>Waves of enemies
Somewhat true, though DA:O suffered from this in some areas too. I feel like this was a relatively minor issue, but enough to be annoying if you focused on it.
>Uglier then DA:O
This is just flat out wrong, the game's got a different art style, but looks much better. DA:O looks like fucking shit these days.
>Anon, you might have a case of bad taste.
Oh shit, an online stranger doesn't agree with me? I'm crushed. You've brought up three major points, two of which you've not actually even explained why they were bad, just gone "it's shit".
>>341874464
It really, really isn't. A terrible game is one that's insanely imbalanced, or doesn't work, or just isn't engaging to play. DA:2 had issues, but it was still a decent game overall.
You realise there's a space in between "This game is great, 10/10 it's a masterpiece" and "it's fucking terrible", right?
>>341866382
>Should I also try dragon age inquisition
Depends, do you like single player MMOs?
>>341866382
No, save your time
>>341874068
DA2 was rushed out the door, but I'd still defend the characters as one of the better Bioware parties.
Their interactions and relationships progresses throughout the main story as a group.
Their character arcs actually tie into the main conflict and flesh out the different points of view on it.
The rivalry system is more complex than "like" or "don't like."
More interactions in general would have been nice, but I think they did a decent job with what was there.
>>341874724
>it's a someone defends DA 2 by desperately downplaying any criticism episode
Why are these having so many reruns lately?
>>341875082
>it's a someone brings up things that aren't really issues and gets mad when someone points that out episode
Why is this the height of videogame discussion on /v/?
>>341874068
Most of what you said is either bullshit or not a problem, aside from the recycled environments.
The only problem I had with Anders is that he was so different compared to Awakening that there was absolutely no point in making him the same character.
>>341866382
No. Origins was the last game Bioware made before falling fully into the acton "rpg" hole. They haven't made a good game since then.
>>341867787
OP's making the same thread every day and ignores the replies.
sage and slide
>>341868079
the fuck did she get stung by bees?
>>341866382
The dragon fights where "interesting", the rest felt forced. Combat was inferior to origins, story had potential with Corypheus' ascension to godhood but they fucked it up badly imo. It was a good game and would recommend but try and treat it like a separate game from origins because if you are like me and play the game expecting to be as good as the first one then you'll be disappointed. Also yes, what the actual fuck was with all the tumblrina characters and atitudes?
>>341875590
op here
ive couple post here and its the 2nd time i make this thread because the other one had only 1 reply in it
>>341876114
>>341876081
Also, I would add OP, there are much better RPG's for the same price if money's the issue. Look up the story/gameplay on youtube/wiki etc, you won't miss anything significant and buy better games like Witcher 3, Bloodborne or Dark Souls 3. All those 3 are amazing and better than the latest Dragon Age imo.
>it's currently cheaper to buy the GotY edition of the game than it is to buy the DLCs individually
>>341866382
The Mainquest and companion quests are pretty good, every other Quest is usually literally nothing, like they don't have meaningful lore to reveal, no interesting characters to meet(usually you actually don't meet new characters at all) and are fetch this or kill this MMO tier quests.
I did pretty much everything in hopes that something was going to be interesting and I racked up about 110 hours. 25 of those where the main quest the rest was useless padding.
TLDR just do the main quest, ignore collectibles , sidequests etc .
>>341876376
Dark Souls or Bloodborne are barely RPG's anon, they're essentially action games, there's no roleplaying to be done, choices to be made or dialogue to be had.
You'd have a better point if you mentioned Divinity Original Sin or Pillars of Eternity or something, they're actually good recent RPG's in a somewhat similar style (though turn based instead of real time) to Dragon Age.
>>341876376
This. Witcher 3 is a fantastic game. Not necessarily the best combat, but it's packed with content. Also the second rpg I've ever played that had good dlc. First was oblivion of course, shivering isles are god tier Bethesda.
>>341876672
You're right. OP go with games this guy mentioned if you're looking for an alternative to DA.
>>341876558
So does collecting shit like iron and elfroot(all collectibles really) do nothing in the game?
>>341876114
The DA:I threads don't get many replies because every time they are made (and trust me, there were a few of them) the same shit gets posted, and rightfully so:
>waste of money/time
>there are better games out there
>bland game
>not like origins
>tumblrina, SJW
>disappointing
>>341877586
Lets you craft better equipment, as well as unlock upgrades.
>>341877779
Did you even read this thread?
>>341877586
You use them in crafting like in origins obviously. The best gear in DA:I is from crafting.
>>341877875
Did you?
>>341866382
boring
>>341878021
Yes, and generally the consensus has been that the whole SJW and tumblrina thing is overblown, and the game is pretty decent apart from the side quests.
>>341868079
Isn't she literally the only companion you can tell to fuck off at any point?
>>341876525
Dragon Age DLC never ever go on discounts. So buy GOTY for DAI or don't bother at all.
>>341878415
Nah, any but the first few you meet you can tell to leave.
>>341878258
The main story was good, forced in some aspects but good, the most impressive part was going in the fade where you can see the Black City. About sjw I just said it gets posted/talked alot about. Personally I'm fifty/fifty about it.
>>341876081
>The dragon fights where "interesting"
They're really not though, and just amount to huge damage sponges with three dragon types - regular, ones that cast shield and ones that cast armor.
I was thinking about grabbing this while it's $7 on psn. I'm usually one to play from the beginning of a series though. I guess my question is is DAI significantly better playing the earlier ones first or does this game stand on its own moreless? I'm guessing it's the same as Elder Scrolls where you don't need to play earlier entries for story purposes but it helps on understanding the little quips and shit.
>>341878773
I agree about the main story, it had some bits that were kind of cheesy, but the actual story and quests involved with it were pretty great.
I just never saw the SJW element, there's one trans character that's completely optional and not important to the story in the slightest. I always felt like it was just the remnants of Dorian's shitty advertising.
>>341871527
This. Just ignore her existence. She is quite annoying.
>>341871527
>dat feel when they ruin one of the best scenes in the game with SJW bullshit explanation
You needed to hang out more with the Chargers. Shame Bioware couldn't be bothered to give each member unique design.
>>341875082
You should form an argument and counter what the other anon is saying instead of hand waving it like an idiot.
If something is shit, you should be able to say why it's shit without falling into fallacies.

Fucking bitch
I couldn't finish it so take that how you will, but I figured something would be wrong with it when the character customization was lackluster; I gave up being qunari since the hairstyles were so bad.
the combat system felt constricted; I would zoom out to send my party into position, tell them who to attack, then zoom back in so I could enjoy the fight, and they would forget everything and come back to hug my ass
then the explore and fetch parts of areas put me off further. I never did that stuff in gta's and hated it more here since ingredients and stuff were needed.
the models for it were pretty gross too. sera's the most brought up offender but I think cole's froggy eyes are worse, not to mention how everyone bathed in oil and combed their hair with it.
simply put, I was disappointed with inquisition
>>341880380
What pisses me off the most about DAI's story is that its premise was completely unnecessary. I mean, in a world that just went completely out of balance as mages seek Independence and templars ain't having it, where Qunari are possibly considering an invasion over this and using the Kirkwall incident as an excuse to cleanse all infidels, with Anderfels' Grey Wardens growing more despotic and only other sizeable contingent existing in Orlais, not to mention Tevinter Imperium doing god knows.... what does Bioware do? Oh you know, ancient evil awakens and wants to take over the world. Why are they so creatively bankrupt when it comes to making use of their OWN settings?
Never really played the dragon age series and trying to go through it now. And goddamn is it difficult to enjoy.
Call me Witcherfag and CDPRshill but I never really had a problem with Witcher 1 and both games came out almost at the same time. But Dragon age makes me not enjoy the time I have with the game. I think I have restarted the game 3 times now and I am finally after years almost done with it.
The writing is really cringe worthy and cliché at times. The combat feels like I am playing fucking WoW vanilla with almost perma stunned meta with mages being OP as fuck. Kinda regret not making one instead of a 2 hand warrior. The game having level scaling doesn't help either.
The only reason why I am still going at this point is to see what happens to my waifu Morigann. She will probably leave me, like the cunt she is.
>>341882000
>mfw there was ranting on Bioware's forums back in the day about how Witcher 1 didn't have "correct choices to make" and people actually gave up on the game because of that
Time hasn't done Bioware's audience any favors.
>>341882000
She's BARELY in DAI.
>>341882203
I suppose Da:O gives people more "diverse" choice in its way to play the game. But holy shit if it isn't extremely cheesy dialogue and utterly autistic dilemmas in the game.
The only time I had a problem with a choice would be the new king of Orzammar. I just ended up choosing the guy with the closest bloodline.
>>341882360
That's unfortunate. I am still only on Da:O with helping redcliff left. Recently did Moriganns quest and wondered if she will ever change her "MUH COMPASSION AND LOVE IS WEAKNESS" belief. Don't know if I will play Da2 and DA:I if that is the case.
>>341883239
you should play da2. for all the shit it deservedly gets it's still a worthwhile experience, especially the dlc where inquisition's big bad guy actually comes from.
>>341866382
I liked it. Why don't you give it a try (pirate it or buy it now that is on sale with all the DLCs included) and see for yourself? You will only find haters here because it's Bioware.
The SJW shit everyone mentions isn't even there and plot is actually nice if you read the codex entries and talk with the characters. The art direction and the places you visit are god tier and you get a great ending with Trespasser.
You should play DA2 before though. Everyone shits on that one too, but it sets up the scene for Inquisition.
>>341874724
>This is just flat out wrong, the game's got a different art style, but looks much better.
Nope I would say inquisition is even worse than da2. At least da2 had good combat
>>341883505
If I get Da:2. Any recommendation on what class I should go for? or just an overview on what all classes offers and their viability ?
Did hear that the combat in Da2 is actually pretty solid.
>>341884119
don't forget promo screenshots from da2. someone ACTUALLY thought this looked good.
>>341868079
>the combat is the worse its ever been in the series
I haven't played it.
How did they make combat worse than DA2
>>341884376
I mean, considering you can solo Origins as a Rogue on Nightmare, every class basically got more flashy variety in DA2, and 2H weapons aren't slow as molasses. Combat is better but encounter design is utter dogshit with spawning enemies out of thin air after you clear the previous wave.
>>341884119
Yes, that image clearly demonstrates what I was saying. The one in the top image is a cutscene model, and still has much lower resolution textures, and the model is overall much less detailed (notable around the face, as obviously the ogre overall is intended to be toned down in 2), despite the bottom one being the actual in game model, with no effects on it like the top image does (lighting, the saliva hiding much of the actual orge itself, it being hunched over and neither being full body)
>>341883720
This. I just recently played Origins through again to import into DA:2/DA:I and its worth the time. 2 was shit on overzealously because of the insanely serious gameplay shift, but the story, characters, setting, etc, still feels genuine. Strongly advise playing as snarky-Hawke, as you'll get some genuine laughs and it's cathartic to play a hero who notices and calls out the world on its typical adventure-story cliches.
>>341882000
Providing you make the right choices and push hard, there's a pretty good send-off to Morrigan and your character.
>>341884636
I don't know anon, maybe on consoles. But Origins like abysmally bad on consoles.
>>341866382
Inquisition is mediocre and boring as fuck. Not horrible, but sure as fuck not good either. If you are look8ng for a single player mmo,then give it a shot.
>>341879728
>You should form an argument and counter what the other anon is saying instead of hand waving it like an idiot.
Why?
That assumes that the poster you're replying to cares about convincing you. Personally, I don't bother replying to point-by-point greentext posts by autistic apologists because a) it's time-consuming, b) it literally doesn't matter and c) it's inevitably fruitless trying to argue with the kind of person who'd try to convince you that the sky is green if it suits their argument.

>my feet hurt

>>341884808
I'm assuming these are screenshots running off the PC version, and if you honestly can't see that the models are much simpler, and the textures are muddy as fuck, I really don't see what I can do for you. Dragon Age 2 just generally looks much crisper and more detailed, all the spell effects and weapon effects look much better, the animations are a very different style, but once again, less stilted looking, it's overall a large improvement.
Origins was the better game in most ways, but you shouldn't let nostalgia cloud your vision anon, 2 was definitely better looking.
>>341866382
Origins was great.
DA2 had the best combat and story, but abysmal level design and no polished whatsoever.
Inquisition was a fucking disaster. Great companion characters (goobers can kill themselves) but otherwise an extremely weak game.

>>341881472
because bioware literally only knows how to write one type of story. they did the same shit with mass effect. reapers were obviously averted after the first game, certainly in the lifetime of anyone who was alive in that game.
>>341885292
To support what I'm saying, watch this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeuWtbSJBfg
I know it's IGN, but it's a good graphics comparison, and 2 looks much, much better.
>>341885374
I think I'm at a point where I'll go romance-less in games because I can't romance the person I want.
>>341885292
Problem is none of DA2's visuals gel together. Yeah, models are polygonal improvement but every else looks like shit in >>341884378. Not to mention non-existent lighting throughout pretty much entire game.
>>341881472
Now to be completely fair to them, I think the reason they did this is because they DID try to do something like that with DA2 and it obviously fell flat on its face.
Now, most people would go 'Oh, we did it wrong, let's do it right next time' but if you remember for example Mass Effect 1 to 2's inventory system, you'll know that's not how they do things. It didn't work, so it's gone entirely. I think that's pretty much how it went. They felt political/non generic plots didn't work, so they went back to the old stuff.
Da2 had the best boobies in games. >that coco perfection
>>341876672
RPG doesn't mean making story choices, it just means you have some amount of agency in the customization of the character whether that be through their actions or their stats/builds/gear. Dungeon Crawlers are just as much of an RPG as your almost-novels RPGs like Planescape Torment. If you think story decisions make an RPG then you should quit playing games and play DND because you never get real decisions, just different predetermined options.
>>341866382
DA:O was great
DONT touch, DONT even look at DA2
DA3 is somewhere inbetween, depends if you like single player MMOs
>>341884602
Any class that is more fun than the others ?
Played Warrior as I said and went tank first. Wanted to kill myself how boring it was and ended up modding the game to get talent resset. Would like to avoid doing the same mistake again.
>>341885924
That's just not true anon, watch the video I linked here >>341885730. It comes together much better in game than Origins did. That promo shot looks fucking shit though, I have no idea why the chose that unless it was pre-alpha or something, because the finished game looks way better.
>>341885332
Did you play inquisition? Tactical overview and skill combos are in the game, and important on the higher difficulties. There's absolutely a middle to the story, and the ending was pretty great, especially so with the post end content of trespasser, if you bother to read codex entries it's a really great story.
Your character's clothes are fine in the fort.
Also
>goobers
Why do I constantly see you sperging out and throwing half formed arguments all over the place? I can't imagine more than one person uses that word in every post like you do.
>>341886106
No one knows what RPG is anymore, it's either because people are stupid or underage.
The name comes from the fact that it borrowed MECHANICS from pen and paper roleplaying games, not any actual roleplaying as the name might suggest to someone who doesn't have a fucking clue.
You got games that took pen and paper RPG mechanics like HP, stats, class and level based progression etc and did it in a video game. That's an RPG. Roleplaying elements were not possible and they still aren't to the same degree today. Obviously many RPGs have multiple endings, dialogue choices etc. but that's not the genre, that's just a thing the game has.
The term has lost all meaning really, it should have set off alarm bells when people were genuinely saying Deus Ex for example is the same genre as fucking Final Fantasy
>>341866382
>DA: Cisquisition
>considering
Kill you are self faggot.
Inquisition is good, but it's the third game in the trilogy and is much more directly connected to 2 than the first game. You'd probably be confused jumping into it since the story kicks off with events caused by 2.
>>341866382
nope
play awakening instead and don't soil the good times you had with DA3 and DA:I
>>341885730
Take a look at these two early-game ogre boss fights for a different kind of comparison:
DA1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkfbOcSFzVE
DA2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wjTfKOdfAo
Now, these are both Bioware games so they're nothing ground-breaking visually but it's undeniable that the entire scene is more consumately contructed in DA1 thanks to dynamic lighting, a tasteful colour palette, visible influences from the natural-world in the monster design all taking place in an interesting setting.
The DA2 scenario by comparison is a bunch of lanky shapes with spikes on them moving indistinctly through a brown mush.
I really enjoyed the multiplayer for it. I personally would like to see a game based off it with it being much more expanded upon. It was very similiar to the neverwinter mmo.
>>341879338
This makes literally zero sense in the Qunari lore.
Why did they add this shit?
>>341886106
By that definition, CoD or any game with a loadout system in the campaign is an RPG. Choosing gear isn't enough to create a roleplaying element.
Soulsborne games are at best ARPG's, because they do have stats the impact the game, but I wouldn't go around calling them proper RPG's, not ones to compare to stuff like DA or Divinity or something like Planescape at least.
>>341886783
Yeah, I'll give you that point, the opening area in DA 2 was fucking hideous, and really made the game look shitty. But I don't think comparison of one of the better looking interiors in the game for Origins against one of the worst for 2 is really fair game, you've got to compare the average area. And for the average area, 2 looks significantly better. Better textures, models, area design (really look at the forest area comparisons in the vid I posted for an example), the lighting and effects are better, animations are vastly improved. It's just overall way better looking, and I really don't see how you can argue that fact.

pandering
just like their costume design for DA:I took into account the possibility of cosplaying every character so they added plenty of pockets and whatnot

Well IMO Josephine fills that role. I didn't chase her because it just felt wrong, like fucking a secretary.

You can completely avoid that line of dialogue if you don't call attention to it.

thank you for this post, DA 2 posters didnt play Origins first and shouldnt post
I got it for the ps4 since its like $6 and it's pretty ok.
Dragon age origins was a dark fantasy and it feels like the 2 games after it have been ripping out it's teeth. The Templars and mages are both terrible in the same way which is lazy as fuck.
The idea of growing and getting to use your own faction is a cool idea but it suffers because of bioware's amateurish writing and story telling.
It's not perfect or as good as origins but if you want a B- grade wrpg it's worth the sell price. Also don't go out of your way to do of the open world stuff.

It could've been improved by letting you customize more than your throne room and two decisions you get to make about the keep, both equally meaningless. They should've let you customize the overall look of Inquisition.

Not like it matters that much since by the time you get the stupid keep you are like 2 missions away from being done unless you go around derping your ass in the open world for no real reason.
Any of the dlc worth it?
