Oh, have you heard the game is like skyrim big? What? Some of you say you cant find out because of the crashes? Are you sure its not patched? the game is out for 2 months. Well....
Having put in around 3300 hours into Skyrim I have to say, DA:I is not even remotely as enjoyable to play as Skyrim. I used to tell ppl that if Bioware got together with Bethesda and made a game that had Skyrim's endless possibilities in adventuring and Bioware's ability to make ppl care deeply for the story and characters, no one would ever leave their computer. That was until DA:I came out.
The only thing Skyrim was missing was more soul to the content. There was just enough to keep you going but nothing that made you feel deep in your heart for the story unfolding. (There are a few exceptions) But with mods it has come a long way even in that aspect. The modding community has done a mind blowing job turning Skyrim into something I think even Bethesda could not have imagined doing ever. Bioware even took that aspect out of this game and bragged about players not being able to mod their precious pile of a game.
After DA:I I would not want Bioware any where near Skyrim. What made them the jewel of developers in the RPG genre is gone. This game was a complete slap in the face to anyone that adored their games. They killed all of the ongoing story. They ridiculed and berated all of the groups and beliefs that were the backbone of the story. They made all of the companions worthless degenerates or wishy-washy sycophants. They turned all of the heroes from previous games into monsters who could never be trusted again. I still cannot believe what they did to the Wardens. It is worse than watching a Sean Bean movie with the hopes that he is going to live longer than the first 15 minutes.
Yes I put 400+ hours into the game to make sure that I could give a complete and honest review and also in the hopes that I did not miss a valuable plot or storyline but with the exception of the few class/gender/race changes there really was no real point of playing more than two play-throughs.
There was SO much potential with this game. Every time I ran across something semi-interesting I got excited that the writers were going back to the rich plot lines and stories they had done in previous games. But it quickly became all too apparent that like everything else with this game it was just eye-candy to keep you occupied long enough for Bioware to make the initial sales before ppl found out that there really was nothing in this game they promised. Some of the main story was interesting but their were so many glaring holes in everything it was hard to ignore or fully enjoy.
For all of my disappointment with DA2 at least the story and the characters were very interesting. It was at least a complete story that flowed. It was not as versatile as DA:O with your choices making that much of an impact but the story and interaction at least had substance. After the second play-through with DA:I you find out that if you pick the opposite spectrum of the plot points and companion interaction they all still react the same way so it does not really matter other than a footnote that you chose the opposite option. *bleh* Whatever, woohoo they got my money and trashed any hopes I had that they really were going to redeem themselves.
I could keep going on but what really is the point. It is not like anything I say is going to change the game in any aspect. While the game itself feels like a Beta version that 100's of ppl are testing I doubt seriously there will be any real changes as they have most likely spent the motherload on advertisement and plushies having no real intentions of fixing or improving the game. Do not even get me started on the actual gameplay aspects of this farce. I think there are enough threads about that already.
One thing you can say Bioware has become really excellent at is, false advertising and being able to sucker ppl into hoping their hype is genuine.
