Fuck you /v/. You said it was shit, I'm enjoying it much more than the Witcher 3. Note to self always do the opposite of what /v/ says in relation to game recommendations.

stay safe, OP

and I guess people hated BioShock: Infinite because it was a meme and not because it was mediocre garbage
>>342326043
And we were right.
Just wait.
>>342326043
What does it have to do with the Witcher 3?
>>342326043
sure it's pretty fun for the first half then you realize the game is over and you just spent 80 hours running around zones collecting herbs
>>342326508
No it's straight trash anon.
>>342326043
>I just started to play this and it's good!
That's nice. Now keep playing past 60hrs.
>>342326508
It's a good game, just a few things about it ruin it. Ultimates, with how strong and game changing a single one is, how insanely close final points are to the Defense team's spawn points on attack/defense maps, how so very team-dependent it is, etc.ALL of this, throw in some pubs, not enable voice chat by default, bam. You just fucked up.
The game itself is great, it's a great idea, it's just that the decisions they've made in a few areas really muck it up.
Being trans takes huge strength of mind... no pun intended, but it takes balls!
>>342326043
It's boring and empty for a RPG.
I'm tempted to say that the only thing that makes it interting is the characters.

Solas twist got me good, main villian was mediocre.

>>342326043
I hated it because I was doing every little thing but once I stopped and just went through the story and every so often hunted dragons it was awesome.

Eh, I sort of liked it at first too.

>>342326043
Well you've just confirmed your shit taste in games. Congrats and have at it.
>>342326043
This game is just a bare bones skinner box. It's not an RPG. Anyone who considers this game to have role playing elements is a fucking tween who shouldn't be posting on this board. It's an insult to the legacy Bioware has spent nearly a decade now running through the mud and I can only pray their next game flops so hard we can be rid of them for the rest of time eternal.
>>342326807
It's a new meme to compare every game with RPG elements to the Witcher series. Witcher does seem to get a rise from people nowdays.
>>342326043
Naw its shit. Combat was decent and its main story could be good at times but over all it was dissapointing on a lot of levels.
Companions outside of Bull Varric and Cassandra were meh tier at best and had pretty shit back stories and quests.
FETCH QUESTS
Empty maps
Easily broken by Arcane War-sorry Knight Enchanter
Being forced to wait x amount of hours for the stupid war table missions or just changing the time, either way is a hassle.
Just generally shitty quests that didn't make me care about any of the people involved. The quest design is just realy really bad.
>>342327558
BioWare likes putting murderers on your team. I'm not talking about gameplay, kill bandits that attack you, murderers. Go out of their way to mow down innocent people murderers.
Anders
>Murders a church full of people and whoever got killed in the explosion outside.
Blackwall
>Murders a innocent family and servants and any witnesses for cash
Solas
>Wants to murder the entire fucking planet to make elves magic again.
It's like the writers at BioWart are the type of women that try to marry prisoners.
>>342326043
Did you play it for more than 10 hours? It gets really fucking boring after that.

Your opinion is shit mate.
>Tfw you have to restart an 86 hour playthrough because you just now noticed a save import bug that left you with the default world state.
I had three entire zones fully cleared and was about to start the DLC too...

>I'm enjoying it more than Witcher 3
Kill yourself
>>342327930
I don't know why I tried after seeing how awful the character create was; I gave up being qunari because of it. I think I figured I could hide it with helmets and such, but then the castle-pajamas happened.

>>342329223
Literally what.
>>342329221
this, with cole's special class
>>342329084
What do you love exactly?
Are there good quests aside from the main one that you are engrossed with?
Is the battle and class system that varied and unique to experiment with compared to the previous entries?
Are the designs varied and well designed?
Is there actual exploration and secrets hidden in the world?
You do not have to comment on obligatory storyline quests. I'd like to hear our thoughts on the rest of the content what has made these 120 hours enjoyable
>>342329261
I'm only a few hours in. I just can't force myself to play. Combat is so monotonous. I've tried playing every class. Even tried setting the difficulty to the lowest option and it's still feels like it takes too long to kill a basic enemy.
>>342329396
Yeah, you're not playing a final class. The basic three classes are all the most barebones classes when the prestige classes are the ones with gameplay changing mechanics. Kinght Enchanter when properly built can become a teleporting lightning chucking god that hits for 3k on a single spirit blade hit.
>>342329362
quests and exploring fun
aesthetic as fuck
enjoy dragon hunting and party member quests
battle system is easy to pick up and class system isn't too complex
hunting for herbs and shit improves stronghold(sucker for that shit)
LGBT but not too much
plenty man play it for yourself
>>342329714
I guess if I was a sucker for collectathon quests to improve shit and way too simple RPG/battle mechanics, I would like it.
I cannot get how you find exploring fun when at most you find random mobs and materials instead of anything unique though.
I could call everything else a matter of taste, but not this
>>342329714
I did play it, way before Witcher 3 released even, it was okay IF you ingore all of your companions except maybe cassandra because they are all amoral pieces of shit
compared to Witcher 3 though, it is nothing but a wet fart and after I played W3 I wanted the hours back that I wasted with Inquisition, it just can't compare
>>342329714
>exploring
It's just a series of empty plains with randomly generated sprinkles of mobs and pick ups.
This is less of a ringing endorsement and more of an affirmation that devs can continue to push out low effort "open world" garbage and rake in millions off of a generation of consumers who find no greater excitement than marking off a laundry list.
>>342326043
You must put ketchup on your pasta, because your a schmuck with no taste.

fuck this I'm out, you can't be helped
>>342332081
They are similar in that they are both light on storytelling and are exploration heavy.
>>342332081
Most of the DA fanbase seems to have a really strange view of RPGs as a whole.
>>342332081
see you later then cause i never said that you tard, it's just where i get my whole exploring OCD itch from
Holy fucking shit this game is bad. The combat is literally the worst in any game I've ever played. It's so bad it makes shit tier Bethesda combat seem incredible. The quests are boring as shit and the map(s) are fucking awful. Definitely a 2/10 game.
>>342332150
This post is completely wrong.
>>342329714
>aesthetic as fuck
This was when I knew you were baiting.
The exploration and "fun" are subjective, but there is nothing "aesthetic" about DA:I. It is not consistent with itself. It is not consistent with situations. Everything looks like it is either cheap plastic or smeared with grease.
And if you are not baiting you are either mentally retarded, or have yet to pass first grade.
>>342326043
Congrats, you have shit taste. The gameplay is worse than Korean MMOs. The characters and story are written at 6th grade, with nonsensical plot jumps, assumptions, and motivations.
The nice thing about gaming, though, is that there are products out there for people of all intellectual capability, even those who require special needs such as yourself.
>>342332243
>implying
>>342332374
do you play on console or something, i'm not sure we're talking about the same game some of the layouts for DA:I areas are really pretty, but thats just my opinion, and i can see why people wouldn't like it
Isnt the starting premise something like "portals! Evil! Close portal! Ancient Evil awoke! OH no!"
Combined with shitty animation, greasy characters that are made by sjws and gamepad dsigned combat?
>>342328345
Witcher 3 is trash, games with hack and slash combat and no party aren't even rpg, witcher 3 plays more like a GTA game.
>>342332761
this, felt more like medieval red dead redemption
(not that thats a bad thing)
>>342327437
>>MMO tier side quests
only some of the side quests are like that. there are different tiers, and the companion side quests are great.
>>awful animations
facial animations, sure. everything else, not really.
>>cliche as fuck main villain
what was the last game you played that didn't have a cliche villain?
>>combat is grindy shit
you didn't play the game on the hardest difficulty. you can't win by mashing stuff, you have to pause and issue orders to your team. fight a dragon on the highest difficulty, you'll die for mashing.
>>ruined the pause with console controls
it gud. controls were fine.
>>game clearly designed to not even need it
play hardest difficulty.
>>just whack away at things until they die, no squad tactics required
again, play the game on hardest. the game was patched so it doesn't have the balancing issues with the sword mage thing.

>>342326043

>>342332865

Something along those lines.
>>342333049
monster hunter, gods eater burst, ys, dark souls and nier all have damage sponges as well, and yet they get a pass? fuck off.
How much are dragons involved in the story, are they just brainless monsters there to slay or have a more important role on the game events?
Game is pretty ok. Some of the plot stuff makes me made because they are abruptly turning what was a dark fantasy world into a regular fantasy world. Like someone mentioned a cure for tranquility. The whole point of tranquillity in the first game was to show how shit circle mages have it
>>342326508
>Vocal Minority
How optimistic of you.
>>342333751
there's one dragon that is directly involved in story quests, the others are just monsters to kill
>>342326043
How was the DLC? Seemed to be super big on lore from the descriptions I've read.
And every time I've talked about the game, I've made it a point to say that the game does a lot of good things, but also a lot of bad things. Its definitely not shit, but its pretty much textbook average, or maybe mediocre.
Also is barrier the most broken shield spell in any RPG? It's pretty much a ape second health bar that synergies with a bunch of skills on a short cool down. There's litterally no reason not to have it on all your mages.
>>342334007
Spellsword or whatever the melee mage build is is OP as fuck specially because of barrier shields. Boring as hell to play though.

Those two are nice because they actually add more story and advance the setting overall, like the whole Dwarf revelation and shit. Hakkon was just another zone because that's what people fucking wanted. It's not like game is already padded out or anything.

>>342333341
they only seem that bad out of context. They are passable.
>>342333751
>are they just brainless monsters
in the lore they are actually reasonably intelligent.
If people start a cult to worship them they understand they are being praised and encouraged it and avoid killing cultists.
>>342334438
In its defence its a really good zone.
If they had all been that fleshed out it would have been amazing.
>>342334438
What the fuck is that? Underground stalactite cities?
>>342326043
Where are you at and what are you enjoying about it so far?
>>342334872
we don't really know
implied to be the guts of a really huge giant
>>342334872Its a titan, the entire giant cavern is a living entity that creates lyrium
>>342334987
>>342334951
Interesting I guess. So you travel down into some caves, somehow get inside this giant titan, and its insides are pretty little rock cities populated by dwarves or something?
>>342335075
magic dwarves!
>>342335075
They are dwarves but, weird. They have closed environment suits of metal.
there's a lot thats only implied, which is normal for dragon age todo. Imply, reinforce, then confirm or prove the counter theory a game or two later.
Question. Currently going through DA:O. Is there any reason why I should go through the DLC for that game ?
Does it affect Da2 and DA:I storywise ?
>>342332081
This is a horrible post.
>>342335228
So its mostly setup for later games? Guess thats fine.
>>342335334
Sorry, not you, the person comparing it to morrowind
>>342335321
Uh. Well, the DLC for the first game isn't bad. Its worth playing IMO. And it does have some impact later one, though only a bit of lore in most cases.
>>342335376
Descent was more like "here's some fucking lore, have fun"
Trespasser sets up later games
>>342334253
So what was O'dimm if he wasn't a Djinn?
>>342335472
the fucking devil.
How many creatures can stop time?
I liked it too, got the platinum even. Definitely more satisfying on the hardest difficulty but the fight that I found most difficult was the boss in the tutorial-ish area.
>>342335452
What is that one about?
>>342335553
THE QUNARI ARE HERE also here's what the fuck Solas wants to do
I agree with you, OP. Absolutely fantastic.
>>342326043
I liked it overall but I felt the companions were pretty boring for the most part. None of them felt particularly engaging or memorable.
Ironically the two characters that I felt were cool were Leliana and Morrigan and neither of them were available as companions.
>>342335881
She's so fucking perfect
>>342336038
Oh yeah.
>>342335442
I honestly just wanna know if I can go for the Witch hunt DLc or is Awakening really that good and how long are they ?
I liked it cause it was the game I got the closest at at creating my face. I couldn't stop laughing when I was banging the short haired chick.
>>342334445
Yup, the Dragon Age audience.
>>342326043
It was such shit
>>342333903
>believing /v/ isn't completely and utterly objectively insignificant compared to the actual video game audience.
Still best game of this generation so far. Not like it has a lot of competition tho.
Enjoyed the witcher's story way more but I hated its combat.
DAI is mediocre, but I enjoyed the random chatter, and combat more than Witcher tho
>>342335881
Dorian felt like the only worthwhile party character IMO.
>>342326043
You have absolute shit taste if you think this steaming pile is better than anything.
>Implying /v/ has good taste
Witcher 3 combat was clunky as all fuck and sucked dick, and the story was a fetch quest padded by other fucking boring fetch quests all so you can save some spoiled cunt at the end who just complains all the time. DAI isn't a masterpeace but Witcher 3 blew.
The animations in Witcher were the only objectively better parts.
>>342338747
Okay, so he has shit taste? What now? The fact is out there? What will it change? What's the intended end result that you are trying to achieve? He's just going to play the game and enjoy it, while you just sit there brooding about how someone could LOVE a game that you didn't like. Does it eat at you? Just sitting there steaming, replaying it over and over in your head. Something enjoys something you done and there is LITERALLY nothing you can do about it. You are completely fucking worthless and powerless to stop OPs fun. LOL.
>>342339262
this famq Witcher 3 was basically openworld for brain dead
>follow this marker
>we already highlight every point of interests on your map
>haha witcher sense
fuck the game was so fucking shit.
>>342339457
People give Inquisition so much shit for having an investigate ring but at least it never made "Use your objective finding senses to progress the mission" something that came up on the fucking screen.
>>342339326
well, the part about him enjoying the game isn't the point though.
OP made a thread saying he found the game to be enjoyable and some anons respond by saying that they found it absurd. At the end of the day OP started a thread about the game and people express their opinion on a board where people discuss video games.
I bet you are one of those people that get suprised when you share your political belief on social media and get responses from people that doesn't align with your own.
>>342339262
>>342339457
>>342339610
It's good to know that Witcher always seems to rustle up people. Good to know I atleast got to be around W1-W2 when you could talk about those games. And never change Biodrones, it's good to know that every other RPG around never satisfies your shit taste in games.
>>342326043
I really enjoyed it as well. There were quite CLEARLY a lot of shoehorned SJW shit (diversity that made no fucking sense), but I couldn't help but have fun.
>>342339743
The only really forced SJW shit was the tranny and how everyone reacted to them but /v/ likes to pretend that you can just not talk to that character and never have any of that shit come up. It's not like Krem is remotely interesting or important.
>>342335472
It's literally the fucking devil. Do you read any of the folklore? The same story has been circulating around since forever. Dumbo.
>>342339738

W1 is ultra shit are you serious defending this piece of shit? W2 is the only good game CDPR made and even 2 is trash compared to good rpg.

>>342340420
If you like getting all the little things in each area done and like combat centered around throwing as many different passive talent/combo moves together as possible, it's easy to spend over a hundred hours playing.
>>342339738
Please just accept that objectively W3 is the epitome of shit taste. It's fine if you like it but don't bash other games for being casual.
>>342332987
>>342333208
>The devs probably thought this looked cool
I actually like most of the abilities, I just wish litterally everything wasn't a damage sponge.
I'm going through Inquisition right now for the first time, I think I'm about halfway through. Quick background on me: I liked ME1, DA:O, and KOTOR. Jade Empire was ok. I hated what ME 2 and 3 did to the franchise and I think that DA 2 is one of the worst games ever made.
That said, I'm liking Inquisition so far. It's no KOTOR or ME1 but it's enjoyable. Experiences so far:
>exploration is comfy as fuck, the maps are good
>remember to enable the dialogue tone indicators from the menu or you might accidentally homosex
>the characters are decent for the most part. Solus is very good, one of the best Bioware characters in recent memory. Blackwall and Iron Bull are good, Varric is ok, the rest I'm kind of indifferent to.
>the combat is an improvement over DA 2 but still too simplified, they should have stayed with DA:O's system and elaborated it
>the occasional patch of shit writing but that's pretty much given in most vidya
>why there's so much of MMO type of collecting activities
overall it's 7/10 so far, which means "good game". if the game was made by some obscure japanese dev, a lot more people here would be giving it good reviews
>>342340096
How is W1 shit?
it may not be the fucking pinnacle of gaming
and every one that loves or likes W1 have told several times that it is a hit or miss game for a lot of people. But even then, W1 has great writing,ost and atmosphere.
The combat isn't bad either. It's Rythm combat and it's kinda fresh after player RPG games with MMO tier combat. Even then, the difficulty doesn't make the enemies bullet sponges like so many RPGs falls into. (witcher 3 difficulty did this too unfortunately)
>>342340632
I never said Da series was casual. I just noticed that DA discussion usually gets X amount of IPs with anons bashing other RPGs when they see criticism of the game
>>342340940
>exploration is comfy as fuck
stopped reading
enjoy walking across empty landscapes, picking up shards
it's "comfy" after all!
>>342334745
>passable
if it was a game released in 2002 with a tiny budget but fucking ps2 games had better animations than this garbage
>>342341093
Those exact same "drunk people trying to dance" animations were also in ME2 and no one ever complained about it
>>342341061
I enjoy the scenery and the use of colors in most maps
the game could use a button to run faster or something though
>>342341195

having a railroaded story with some choices thrown in is the opposite of what an RPG is

Oh ok

Fuck you anon, you enjoying it does not correct its objective flaws.
And declaring to be contrarian for dissent´s sake makes you an idiot that can´t understand other people´s opions or formulate his own.
>>342341874
my bad, I didn't realize cRPGs have a DM who can change the story according to the players' actions
>>342341772
but one is closer to the inachievable ideal than the other, i.e. the better RPG.

>>342341953
You really have not played much TTRPGs if you claim that those usually have more freedom and decisionmaking than the glory days of cRPGs.
For every good GM that takes your actions and characters into account there are 30 bad rail conductors.
Nah OP your taste is just shit.
>>342342221
I have an IQ of 134
>>342342238
That number is highly exaggerated m81
But even so, let's say you're exactly right and with tabletops you have 1/30 campaigns that are actually good and change according to what the players do (though I'm not sure why you would go back to shit DMs but whatever)
with cRPGs you have 0/30 campaigns that do that

ahem...
>>342326043
Considering that 99% of complaints consisted of ugly elf companion that you can completely ignore, one line of dialogue that talked about the cross-dressing mercenary, a footage of slow loading textures from a shitty pc and le funny kicking animation (admittedly, animations are shit in this but bioware knows it and used them very sparsely) from people who never played the game yes, it's pretty good, occasionally great, though a lot of it's systems are pretty shallow, especially combat, it still has great lore and you can have a good time on your first playthrough.

Oh, what bitter irony.
protip: irony is not an adjective describing ferrous metal.
Put 40 hours into that game and had to stop. It's shit, full stop.
>Right off the bat, male protag VAs are ass
You have a choice between "bitch boy" and "British ponce bitch boy". As someone playing a two handed giant bull guy, it sucked. Wide bodied monster sounding like he causes long bathroom lines at your nearest gay bar.
>Weapon models don't scale with character size
Again, as a giant bull guy this made most of the two handed weapons seem average and the one handed weapons absolutely pitifully small.
>Game world isn't open
Flagrant railroading via invisible walls, friction-less gentle inclines. Immersion shattering every time the devs make it blatantly clear that they sculpted the world and want to funnel you somewhere.
>Horrendous fetch quests, world is littered with shit that has a pickup animation each time
Not much to be said. Picture the Mako ME1 planet exploration collectibles, x20.
>Bullshit mobile game mechanic makes you wait in real time (some going as far as 5-10+ hours) to do certain quests
I hope the people responsible for this get sodomized by a porcupine.
>8 ability slots
As a big bull fighter, I unlocked a skill tree called "Reaver". Essentially it's the "take more damage, deal more damage" shit with 4 abilities that combo off each other. But then there's also a PC exclusive ability, and 4 entire fucking trees each with their own cool abilities. Which I now get to pick 3 of.
I can't even fathom how mages would handle it.
>Two straight male romance options

So we have a character driven RPG with lots of combat where at least one companion is trash and the combat is SHALLOW, but yeah, the game is great
>>342342469
I'm amazed by this
You actually wanted an even more open world? Walking across the empty world that was already there wasn't enough for you?
I don't understand faggots who actually enjoy generic open worlds
Give me handcrafted shit any day
I enjoyed inquisition enough to play it through twice, but it's definitely not better than the witcher 3.
That being said go ahead and enjoy it OP, it ain't a bad game and a pretty good apology for DA2.
>>342342327
>That number is highly exaggerated m81
Good that you recognized that, but why argument with it then? It is not really exaggerated it is arbitrary, since there is no official measure of it.
>with cRPGs you have 0/30 campaigns that do that
>>342342012
>closer to the inachievable ideal than the other
You really thought this one through, didn´t you?
Yes, any rpgs on a computer that is not sentient will never feature that possibility, besides whatever freedom is implemented by the devs, but, and that is a fact, most GMs are worse in accounting for player action than people who make these games professionally, and in general will present a better experience than you will get by the majority of TTing, the social aspect not withstanding, which is another factor why many people don´t give a flying fuck about freedom in TTRPGs. They really don´t need all that, they just want to throw some dice, pretend to kill goblins and have a good and not that well thought out time with friends.
This is not the case with rpgs on eletronic media, therefore they are more dedicated to that ideal than the tabltop experience, on average, even if not in median.
>>342342560
You're on an anonymous internet image board boasting about your IQ and how many languages you speak. Contemplate that for a moment. Then feel shame.
>>342326043
I'm glad you are liking it, anon, I enjoyed it too. Sometimes /v/ should stop being so adamantly hateful towards games it doesn't like - there is always someone who enjoys them for personal reason. To each his own fun.Is it me or are there A LOT of Inquisition and Dragon Age threads lately? Is it because the GOTY edition is out/there is a sale?
>>342335881
Dunno, I liked nearly all of them, especially their personal quests and how it connected to the lore. Haven't touched sera and Blackwall was kind of shallow but everyone else was great and unique in their own way.
>>342342813
>You really thought this one through, didn´t you?
Huh? Why is it my fault if some guy posts about cRPGs being closer to tabletop than modern shit? I don't even disagree with that
They're simply not RPGs
>>342342560
Faggot. I can speak over 9000 languages.

>>342342603
What the fuck does 'generic' mean?
Do you mean open world games that actually encourages exploration instead of busting the players balls with crap railroad design? No shit you don't understand, you don't understand the appeal of open world games.
>>342343018
fucking dumb cia nigger i know every language in the universe and i have an IQ of 1700
>>342343235
I do understand the appeal. Ever played Gothic?
Anyway, "generic" means you're exploring empty landscapes that have a bunch of pointless collectibles thrown in to bait retards into continuing the "exploration"
Handcraft actually interesting locations and I'm in
>>342343167
You're trying to make me feel bad by saying stupid shit and humiliating yourself on /v/?

>>342342584
Just like the W3. Seriously DAI and W3 are very similar in flaws and general gameplay feel. Both have mmo open world, both have shitty consolized combat and clunky interface, both have boring explorations with mostly worthless rewards, both have nice landscape porn, just done in different styles, both even have largely same cliche ultimate villains.
It really feels hypocritical as fuck when people bash DAI and praise W3 in the same sentence. They are equally bad.
>>342326043
Try a Mmorpg all of them are superior to this and features the same mechanics.
>>342343481
this 2bh
a lot of witcher's appeal is that it was made by a bunch of polish underdog bros and that the world is slightly different than the average western fantasy due to the slav influence
but it is so overhyped. good RPG no doubt though
>>342343385
I don't feel humiliated at all, because it's true. I'm not the one who started trying to insult other's, was i?
>>342343481
I agree with most of this (I think Witcher 3 combat is fine though)
What saves W3 is the writing
If you're unable to ignore the open world meme that has to be in every AAA game these days, you only have yourself to blame
>>342343591

>>342342172
that pretty much what 4chan is.
Hearts of Stone had a dandy story. I wish the spooky haunted house had been longer, it was major VtMB nostalgia going through it (goddamn it that spooky haunted house was too short too)
meanwhile Dragon Age writing became #prepthebull

Is this a ruse? Does cramming all those collectibles through linear world design make it better?
Oh, I almost forgot.
> The number of pointless fucking collectibles that force you to use the god damn jumping mechanic - as if to highlight how ass just navigating some areas of the game as you slip and slide on slight slopes
Shit, let me try to explain how I feel with a topical example.
Skyrim dungeons are always predictably designed so that they dump you out at the entrance. They're nice to explore for a bit, but it's fairly clear that you're forced to go a certain way. This is DA:Is "open world" design.
Now take Skyrims actual open world, where you can just roam and do dick all without the terrain or invisible shit forcing you into a set quest order or some shit.
>>342343617
>What saves W3 is the writing
>>342342897
>/there is a sale?
I made a thread a couple days ago (not OP) because I bought it for $20 on sale, so I can imagine that others are in the same boat.
>>342343914
>Does cramming all those collectibles through linear world design make it better?
Fuck no, but that's what all modern open world games do
>Now take Skyrims actual open world, where you can just roam and do dick all without the terrain or invisible shit forcing you into a set quest order or some shit.
And it's the most boring "exploration" ever made because there's absolutely nothing to find except draugr dungeons
My entire point is that the current cancer of just throwing big-ass open worlds with absolutely no thought put into them is stupid and you're stupid for actually wanting it
That's not to say that DA:I's semi-open world isn't infuriatingly boring, of course
>>342343908

>>342344261
Wow, anon. Is that really how you feel about yourself?
You should go look for some help, that's not healthy.
>>342343617
It's good, nothing super special though, not that much better than DA:I. You can see the real extent of it in thefairy tale partof BaW. They do some some interpretations and funny turn of events that, while fitting the whole thing, aren't all that different from Supernatural.
Witcher has more humanity which is best shown by the game's romances: where DA:I goes full on cliche love to death cheesy bullshit Witcher menages to show people loving each other while still staying themselves and having other shit going on in their lives. The thing is that 99% of these games isn't the romance, it's lore and general interactions with the world and npcs, and both games do them on the same pretty high level. DA is arguably higher because in witcher you can always tell what Geralt's response will be while in DA the companion commentaries are keeping things interesting.For example I loved how Cole reacted to all the Veil and demon stuff

Is there a canon ending considering that i doubt that Bioware thought that the people playing DA:I would also have played DA:O
Just got the ending with Grey warden sacrificing himself and not doing the ritual with Morrigan. How will this effect Awekaning and Witch Hund DLC ?
please respond, want to know if I should restart from Redcliff or just go for this one and jump directly to DA2
