Throwing Tomatoes ? Allright, here is mine.
DAI has been a massive disappointment for PC gamers who use mouse and keyboard like myself.
Otherwise, DAI is overall slightly above average game.
The story is okay but not outstanding. Corypheus is not fleshed out at all and the game does not allow you to be the Inquisitor you want to be, it imposes its morality on you. Still, many of the side story missions, especially the one imvolving the Elves are good.
The banter is good but bugged and does not trigger.
There are many armor combinations but little to no armor variety since all that went into multiplayer so they all look the same.
Some romances are good and some are terrible so it adds up to average. The romances in this game are not reactive at all which makes them feel more backward than DAO's romances.
Overall, the advisers and followers themselves are well done, with the exception of Sera. Her character is just awful.
The combat is downright broken with Flask of Fire, Knight Enchanter which makes the whole "We removed healing to give the game a more challenging feel" & "We limited combat abilities to 8 for strategic reasons" seem downright pointless.
Gaming on Keyboard and Mouse is a nightmare in and of itself and the "you just get a controller" argument is a stupid one. The game was supposedly advertised to work well on all platforms and all playing tools, games should not be spending extra money to get the optimum experience.
The Tactical Camera, Pause and Play and Friendly Fire are all clearly an afterthought. The game was designed to work on Action Play with button spamming, which is how you play multiplayer. Yet, they said "DAI Multiplayer will not impact single player !" At least these features are there so its something.
There is little end game content and the game overall feel grindy and very MMO-ish. Who thought it was a good idea to make a game with large world spaces and only realistically give us 25 levels to play with ? Skyrim had 80 levels for crying out loud. Still, there is plenty of stuff to do, I suppose.
The whole de-leveled world approach in this game frankly does not work properly. Corypheus' Level is 18. Lol ! I suppose the main aim of doing a de-leveled world was to prevent grinding but most of this game is about grinding. It is quite frankly a disappointment to work all your way through, be level 20+ and then just facestomp Corypheus and his pet dragon. I mean, the Corypheus' fight in DA2's Legacy DLC was a lot harder than DAI's one.
Then there is multiplayer. On PC it is terrible. It is as if Bioware did not learn anything from ME3's multiplayer. Additionally, those 50.00+ dollar credits for crates ? Lovely microtranscation crap going on there, EAWare.
Overall I would rate DAI on PC 6/10, with the final score with all the bugs fixed at 7.5/10
In the long run, without modding support, I fail to see how DAI will flourish. This is true of any RPGs with a large world space.
Skyrim is 3 years old now and the only reason it remains extremely popular is because of the modding community, not multiplayer community.
Bioware has now effectively become like Apple. They have long stopped innovating on their own and are just copy-pasting elements from other games and companies.
If they go down this route, I foresee them losing their original fanbase entirely.
Cheers.
