Any other thoughts on the matter?

 

My opinion isn't worth squat since I haven't bought or played it, but I'm waiting a while. As in, 2015.

Is this game worth getting? Yes, it is. Frankly, I don't get a lot of the ranting I've seen posted. I've had no troubles playing the game on my PC. I'm playing on high, not ultra, as my computer is a little dated (although I was able to update my graphics card prior to playing DA:I), and the game looks stupendous. It plays smoothly, hasn't crashed once, and is enormously entertaining. I think it takes the best of the previous games and builds on it to provide us with a quality game. Is it perfect? No, of course not, but what is? The loot gathering system is a tad touchy and I don't much like the map in the corner, mainly because I can never figure out which way I'm supposed to be going, but that may be just as much on me as on them. Overall, though, this is a fabulous game and I'd highly recommend it.

What is the tactical and diplomatic side to the game like?

 

The Inquisitor doesn't spend all day wandering around large expanses doing fetch quests, pilfering items and killing every foe in sight.

Much of the game is spent making diplomatic and strategic choices?

 

 

Is this handled better than the War Room in Mass Effect 3?

The trouble with Mass Effect 3, was because Commander Shepard was very low on the military hierarchy, he/she could not do very much with the war assets gathered, aside from look at them from a terminal. Unless you had that mobile phone app that no one played...

I personally think that managing the inquisition via the war table is a very cool idea, particularly because with your three advisors, you have awesome RP opportunities. Do you want to build an inquisition based on subterfuge and espionage? or do you prefer a straight-up, "honest" army?

 

I haven't really seen any meaningful impact on the game world yet (aside from building watchtowers, which was great), most of the rewards are power/gold/companion items.

Is there a bad ending where the Daemons take over Thedas and kill everyone?

Is that ending easy to avoid?

Will a certain world state make it impossible to get an ending where the Daemons don't win?

It's not worth getting until they fix the issues everyone has been discussing here.  There's many posts that show most of us are disappointed by the same things.

 

I wouldn't know how the game is to play on console, but on PC then yes I'd also wait until the most prevalent issues are fixed, hopefully in the first patch or two.

I feel like I've bought the most fantastic car, it's excellent in every way - except the doors are missing :blink:

At the moment...NO....after patches....hope so ;)  

 

That's what I'm doing to do. Due to my lukewarms feeling towards Bioware's last three productions I did not preordered this one and will, now, not buy it until I see a patch resolving most of the issues I see raised on this board.

Yes. Fail in certain missions and you'll get informed that demons have taken over everything (don't want to spoil, so not too much detail). It's pretty cool, but not cinematic. More something for your fantasy.

 

Easy to avoid? yeah. Don't fail. :D

For the OP, I'll say this. I hated DA2. It was just terrible in every way.

 

This game is nothing like that. I play on PC, and despite the keyboard and mouse controls being terrible, despite the text size being so massive you can tell it's been upscaled from what they use for the console version, despite the graphical glitches and the like... Inquisition still manages to be a really good game.

 

I'd love them to fix up some of the problems (most of which are due to it being a console port to PC), and surprisingly enough they've actually been listening to complaints, so they may get patched in the future. Regardless, I still find myself really enjoying this game. It gets better the further I go. The story is good, the characters are good, the settings are really nice, and the game looks quite pretty.

 

In short, yes, it's worth buying, assuming you can look past those glaring issues (and normally I can't, but for some reason the positives here are really doing it for me).

 

I wouldn't put too much stock into what people say here. As a PC user I feel quite maligned by the way Bioware has started to base their game architecture around consoles, and often want to vent my frustration. Often it leads me to say things that are a little over the top. Just bear that in mind here before you make your choices.

 

Out of ten, I'd give it a seven and a half, which on my scale is pretty damn good. Fix those PC issues, and I'd bump that score up by one.

 

Hope this has helped! Now back to complaining my butt off for PC fixes.

The worst things I see wrong with with it is the inability to to click something and have my character move to it or interact with it automatically and the font and cursor sizes being a bit small.

 

Otherwise: I'm loving it and can't wait to get home, serve dinner, and then spending a long evening playing tonight (and maybe into the morning on Saturday).

after playing for 8+ hours, my verdict is no - or at least wait for a heavy discount

In my opinion... Yes, it's worth getting.

 

I'm 12 hours into the game and loving it so far, despite the UI issues on the PC version. Just for the record, I'm sort of an old school, keyboard+mouse RPG player (BG, BG2, IWD, Arcanum, Torment...). I liked DAO a lot. DA 2, not so much.

 

The game is huge, detailed, beautiful and inmersive. It's not a hardcore RPG by any means, but it's interesting and fun.

 

I hope the devs get the PC UI problems sorted, add a walk toggle and re-work the Tactical Camera in future patches. But even in its current state, I think it's definitely worth it.

Im not gonna give you a score (because they are stupid and meaningless). Keep in mind i play on the PS4, on hard with friendly fire and im 18-20 hours in. Its one of my favorite RPGs so far, im loving it, its not perfect, just like origins or DA2, however the story and characters are great, not very original, but well written and interesting. The world looks amazing dragons are, scary (makes skyrim dragons look like kittens IMO), combat is fun, tactical camera is OK,  On hard you can get by not using the tactical camera on regular fights (however if you play with FF you need to toggle AOE abilites off for companions, or they will kill your tank and melee charcters), on higher level or bigger fights tactical camera has been mandatory which i like. Hard has so far been a great mix between fun action combat and tactical combat.

 

Nit picks. There are alot of quests, however bioware borrows alot of design of modern Open world games like Assassins Creed by having alot of collectibles in ever zone, so there are some throw away quests (think gathering 9 corpse gals or 15 toxin extract in Origins) but it ties in with your Inquisitions power and influence so its abit less annoying. animations can be stiff and wierd at times. No tatics for companions. No attribute distribution. etc etc

 

overall its probally my GOTY

Should you get the game?

 

It is bugged, some people can't even runt it at all or experience constant crashes.

 

Some have it just fine.

 

The game feels kinda less immersive, more MMO-style, but the core story and great writing is there.

 

I think that alone deserves to say YES.

 

But it is purely subjective, depends on how tolerant you are towards imperfections? But would be good to test it on your hardware, to first see if it will even work.

I do not know, if there are legal means to do so. 

I preordered before I knew how crazy bugged the game will be, but overall, I may wait with playing, but I don't regret buying it.

 

I mean, it's Dragon Age for F. sake :)

What...? In my eyes they delivered what they promised. So far I've experienced no bugs, get 60fps on ultra with a 780ti and a i7 4770k processor.

 

Game is balanced, and HARD. Play on normal, unless you want a good challenge. You can't play hard without using the tactical camera.

 

The dialog to me is good. They may have removed the 8 choices you were able to choose from, but each dialog option actually changes the story in some way. In one scene, I told everyone that "I do not think I am the chosen one". This was out of 6 choices. It felt like that meant nothing until two hours later, one of the main characters talks to me about why I chose that answer, and with just that one option, you decide if you believe in the maker or not. I love the dialog options, this game is worth getting

Game is very easy on HARD. I am talking 3 or 4 lvl party vs 8 level monster groups. :)

My problem with the game is grease. My Inquisitor insists on rubbing the stuff on his face and armor. I'm praying for powder DLC, or a damp rag.

I'm enjoying it, but that's only after:

 

1. I am now completely ignoring Tactical View, as it is extremely frustrating to use with m/kb. This unfortunately causes my combat to be more action MMO style and less controlled than I would like.

 

2. Mapped some functions to my mouse buttons using the included software. (Mad Catz M.M.O. 7). I now have V (ping), F (action) Spacebar (remapped to pause) and some of my action skills on my mouse instead of using finger gymnastics on my keyboard.

 

3. Remapped default keys to much more logical things.

 

While I am now enjoying the game, I would be enjoying it MUCH more if the obvious PC related issues detailed all over in the forums were patched.

 

Bugs I've encountered:

 

About half the time when I create a new character (I've restarted a few times due to not being sure about my choices) I get stuck 'in the void' after the first little running away cutscene right after customizing character appearance, instead of showing up in jail.

 

Last night I also was tooling around in the Hinterlands and my computer suddenly performed a hard reset, rebooting itself. I loaded the game back up, hit RESUME and the computer immediately rebooted again. I managed to get into the game and manually load a save from about a minute before the issue, and it hasn't happened again, but I was worried for a bit I might have to restart again.

Depends where you are getting it. PS4 and XBOXONE, amazing. PC, might have some bugs but they are fixing those. Old gen, if you are lucky maybe you get to play it and it doesn't have too many bugs ^^

If you are playing the game on PC and using keyboard and mouse i would advice to wait until we get some fixes, apart from that the game looks good but i only played a few hours so far.

I refuse to pass final judgements before I have played this game fully. I am a guy who like explore everything and talks to everyone and so on. So I am currently only exploring my second region and have not pushed the main story forward since the very beginnin really heh (not visited the Game kingdom yet) . Level 9 is on the horizon and 4 influence.

 

However I am probably one of the rare people who are willing to play the game having to go through 10 + freezes now. (I am quite certain they are connected with Nvidia and perhaps in particular with the newest drivers) So, were not that I would say sure why not buy it, it is far from perfect it does have quite some problems but in general I enjoy it.

 

But with the freezes, crashes etc.... I do wonder how many people would be enjoying this as much as I am. So in that sense I would advise you to wait at least until they get the biggest problems like people not being able to play normally or even play at all out of the way. It would be quite problematic if you just listened to the opinions of people who have no technical problems and then had to deal with them. I am sure you would feel in a way "cheated"

 

So yeah I guess my advice is to wait until Bioware fixes the technical problems and really makes the game playable

Go to a review and read what actual customers/players like you are posting, rather than the almost universally glowing 'professional' reviews.

I prefer to look at both as I value all points of view.

The open post is supposed to be an invitation for all points of view to be heard.

While I am still angry at the uncalled-for and nonsensical changes to PC usability, I have to say that I'm blown away by the other qualities of the game. It's optically stunning, the writing is good, the companions provide some welcome humorous stress-relief, and I actually got goosebumps in one cutscene.

 

If you can get over the horrible, horrible issues that have been expansively covered here, it's a fantastic game.

 

I just hope BW gets their act together to fix the issues that detract from their otherwise brilliant work.
