Dragon Age: Inquisition

This game is a LOT of fun. Let me just be up front about that. It beats out Destiny by far. I know they aren't exactly in the same genre, but if you have to pick only one game to get on your shiny new PS4 or XBone or pc, get this game. So for the good: Most of the voice-acting in this game is superb. I mean it doesn't sound like your typical vanilla washed-out dialogue. Your companions interact with each other in the background as you are questing, and some of their banter is hilarious. It kind of really is like co-workers speaking to each other, because that is basically what they are. There is so much to do. I am chomping at the bit to keep pushing through the main story line, but I have to force myself to cool my jets and level up before I try to take on things like, say, dragons. The dragons are beautiful and scary. My last session I accidentally went too far into an zone I wasn't prepared for, and well...hilarity ensued. Your butt will be kicked gloriously in this game. Its not always apparent what monsters are stronger than you are and what aren't. It keeps you on your toes, but it doesn't make you anxiety-ridden either. Which brings me to another big plus: I get excited when I play this game, but it doesn't make me have anxiety attacks like other games do. Another nice thing is the characters in the story and your own character look like real people for the most part. I loved Mass Effect and the play-style is similar to that. Now for the cons: I won't complain about the glitches, because they have been very minor. What I don't like is the fact that there isn't a stash you can use in your home base, so you are constantly having to do inventory management. There is no way to know what quality drops you can get, or how often they may happen, so you kind of don't want to part with a whole lot until you play more of the game. There are areas and bosses that require specific types of damage like fire, ice, spirit, etc, and you have to have gear that protects you from what they dish out. Plus, you are not only putting gear and weapons on your own character- you're also doing it for your companions. Its not that easy to keep up with what you have and don't have. Another thing I don't like, which a previous reviewer mentioned, is that the hair styles that you can choose from are the same for both male and female characters...as far as the female hairstyles go, there are maybe 3 or 4 that are not hideous, the rest are men's avante garde asymmetrical cuts, flat tops, small 'fros, or you could go bald. There isn't even a decent mohawk (that can usually work for anyone.) Maybe you can tell that I'm a chick because I'm going on about the hair, but come on guys...you have to look at your character for 150 hours...you want to look fierce and awesome- you need options in order to not get sick of looking at your character's grape- shaped head. Have the ability to respec the hair style/color in exchange for gold or something. Having said all that, those issues are relatively minor. I'd rather have a fun game to play versus a game that is gorgeous but not fun to play (like Rift). This game won GOTY, and it absolutely deserves it, imperfections and all. Its worth the money.

Dragon age: Inquisition you play as the inquisitor you are the leader of the Inquisition an independent organization it is up to the inquisition to stop the elder one! The game has you makes choices that change the narrative of the story! The combat got gotten way better as well. And the graphics still look so good to this day! Unfortunately the one thing I did not like about the game is that it's open world I am not a big fan of open world games and this one does not work as it does allow you to see more of the world and gives you a lot more lore but I just wasn't a fan of travelling big distances to do one thing. Overall it's a good game but could have been better.

Talk about overcompensating. Fans rightly complained Dragon Age 2 was too short and small, so BioWare dishes out one of its biggest RPGs yet. Strongly inspired by Skyrim, Inquisition is overflowing with locations to visit and things to do... too much so. Quests are everywhere, sprouting from every conversation; however, many belong to the "collect 20 wolf pelts" MMO variety. One could argue those repetitive tasks are not strictly speaking mandatory, except they kind of are: you need at least SOME grinding to gain enough "power" points, which unlock the progression of the vastly more interesting main quest.

Overall, while not as good as Origins, Inquisition is a step forward from the second chapter of the series - it feels like DA2 done right, without cutting corners.

Companions are mostly well-developed, with solid voice acting. There are nine potential party members and also three advisors who can't follow you around but still get plenty of screentime and interactions. Lore is interesting, although the codex collecting it is poorly thought-out.

There are several good news in terms of gameplay. Exploration is back, so players can ride mounts, climb mountains, find secret locations. The world is fairly vast and sometimes large maps are used well, such as a fun treasure hunt in a desert. The main city in the game is a joke though; any comparison with the huge, sprawling, detailed Vizima of The Witcher 3 would be downright embarrassing for Inquisition.

The strategic elements of being a faction leader (planning quests through advisors, managing a stronghold, holding trials) are simplistic but entertaining. Combat is on the easy/chaotic side, but at least friendly fire is not tied to difficulty setting anymore, unlike in DA2. Character building isn't deep, but race selection is a welcome return. Companion approval level is wisely hidden from the player.

A special praise for the Dragon Age Keep, which allows players to import decisions from previous games: this is a simple but neat idea, something which should be done by every series where you can import old saves to see consequences of previous choices.

The waiting was rewarded. For those who was expecting something amazing DAI was the answer for their prayer. OK, I'm a DA fa and I was excited from the first minute when then reveled that Bioware was working on the next DA game and working with a fa group to bring to Inquisition a real experience like DAO. I'm proud of Bioware work and as a fa fulfilled. Speaking about gamers care. The Dragon Age Keep was a happy surprise. We all know that is hard create a game. Hardest give to the player the opportunity to create their own history, with impact on that world. Bioware understand that and developed this web tool were we don't need to be afraid of loose our saves anymore. Everything that you made, create, and end you have. This is our world.

Greetings from Lithuania.

So i finally finished "Dragon Age: Inquisition" (2014) and what i want and have to say - it was everything i was hoped for it to be and more. It took me more then 95 hours to complete my journey (i haven't played any of DLC's), but i didn't rushed - i explored almost everything in this great and huge world, but there are still some quests left to be done to which i will comeback.

I loved almost everything about it. Story was involving and better then i expected it to be. Sure there are tons of reading but i didn't read codexes and etc - it would have been just to much for me. The open world itself it amazing. It is very huge one, not the biggest ever, but a truly a one in which there are tons and tons of interesting and involving activities. Around each and every turn and corner there is something to be found and explore. There many quests were you have to turn your brains on in order to complete them - its not just kills 10 spider and bring me their legs type of quests.

Combat system was highly great and entertaining. Graphics are great. Music - amazing. Voice acting is superb as well as ... almost everything. Fights with dragons were superb and amazing as well ( i defeated them all!). There are tons of activities, and non of them are boring.

Overall, "Dragon Age: Inquisition" isn't the best open world RPG game ever, but it is an amazing one. There are so many things in there to made and everything looks and feels great. This is an amazing game on every aspect.
