I've read dozens and dozens of gamer reviews on this game and it seems to be the majority of gamers display on the PC I think this game is total garbage! I am so so glad that I did not pre order or buy this game! With DAO I like how you had a couple of different options for camera view I like how you could zoom out completely and get a birds eye view. But from what I've heard you cannot even do that indoors or even play that type of style which would make this an action RPG which would not even compare to the other two games of this franchise. and for the record I really didn't care for DA2 IMHO along with a lot of others DA2 was a dumbed down console version of the original.I for one will not be buying this game and I will wait for it to come down in price to maybe $20 or maybe I'll just pirate it. yes I know its not good to pirate I agree but when developers make a cluster $@#! like this they deserve to have their matei pre-ordered the Witcher i pre-ordered the Witcher 3! Because those developers know how to please their fans even though the second was still not as good as the first but gamers can takea little bit of bad with the extreme amount of great

Seriously though, I'd suggest trying the game for yourself before saying it's garbage because of some very non-essential aspects not being there.  But then, I'm a console peasant, so I'd guess my opinion doesn't matter to you.

[Innsmouth Dweller]

I think you should try it - people who don't have technical/control/medical issues are really enjoying it.

if it crashes or does not meet your expectations you should get a refund within 24h window (if you don't that'll send the 'i'll buy any crap you create, feel free to milk me and stick a finger in my eye' to the company, and it's ok if you want to be treated as cattle)

[1-Altair]

My advice: don't buy it until they issue a patch fixing the main issues. I am a huge fan of the franchise (well, of DAO at least) and have really tried to adapt to the DAI controls but after over 20 hours of playing (on PC) I can't take it any more and will hold on until the patch.

I'm having a blast with my PC version of the game. Yes the controls for K&M are a bit weird, but I rectified that with a console controller. There's been a few bugs for me, but nothing overly gamebraking.

[otis0310]

While the controls are a pain, a bigger problem in my opinion is the dumbed down character building.  You cannot improve attributes on level up, instead you choose a perk, some of these perk then increase attributes.   Then you have crafting which can increase attribtues too.  While the latter I understand the former makes no sense.

 

Fo 30+ years of RPGs you increase your attrbitutes (or have them static) and then those attributes determine what perks or gear you are qualified for.  That makes sense, if you are not strong enough to wield a two handed sword then you cannot use it.  If you are not dextrous enough to use  a perk, you cannot use it.

 

But now for some reason comes a game where you can get any perk you want, and those perks increase your attributes.  Have problem with not enough willpower in battle, well you cannot just increase your willpower on level up, you have to find a perk that increases willpower, and take that, assuming one is available.  So instead of the stats deciding what perks you can take, the perks dictate the stats you have.

 

I find myself constantly running out of magic in combat, but I cannot increase my stats unless I take a perk that give me +3 willpower.  But I do not even want the blasted perk, I just want to increase my willpower. 

 

But worse yet, what if my rogue is having problems with stamina being too low.  None of his perks give a willpower bonus, and you can bet the automated system will put nothing in willpower, so I guess he's screwed.

 

It's completely backwards, I cannot imagine who could have come up with such a system.  I guess they wanted to streamline it for the broader audience,but in my opinion the only thing they did is make an illogical convoluted mess.

I agree completely. I am just wondering what would have happened if Arcane Warrior skill tree was there and managing mana pool with all the sustained abilities... I just can't imagine any longer!!

35 hours into my 2nd play through having a blast.

[Mushashi7]

NO!

This game takes your breath away.

 

Yes, there are some problems with hardware and eventually drivers. I have them too. And it frustrates me that I can't dwell by the cutscenes.

But apart from that: This game is one of the very best I have ever played. Seriously.

The story is monumental and beautiful. The graphics are detallied and well designed. The world and the maps are exiting, so full of atmosphere.
The characters are so well build. The dialogues and story is some of the most complex I have ever experienced in a game.
Not to forget the music. It is simply just... fantastic.

Bioware has made a killer game this time that beats the Mass Effect trilogy.

I have only played about 30 hours and just arrived at Skyhold and I am completely speechles.

 

Bioware just created one of the finest diamonds in game history.

I feel I am flying!

I have to agree. Just when I've done so much side content and continue with the main plot - suddenly I'm introduced to even more intrigue.

There are a few moments in the game where I stopped and just thought "holy ****...awesome." Such a great experience.

The characters in this game are BY FAR my favorite in the entire DA series. They're fascinating characters.

Inquistion is neither as bad as the haters say, or as good as the fanboys claim. Its a good game, but it has some fairly glaring flaws that, depending on your aesthetic and gameplay personal preferences, may ruin it for you. If you don't mind the hack-slash action combat (as opposed to tactical combat of the predecessors), and you like open world exploration, you will probably quite enjoy it. If you are an old school cRPGer who wanted a game that played like Origins, you won't be. It just depends what you like and what you want out of it.

So let me get this straight... you refuse to purchase a 60 dollar game yet willing to risk breaking the law by pirating this so-called garbage game thus risking being taken to court? Do you know just how easy it is for your IP to be traced, and track down? Do you even know the punishment for pirating a game?

 

http://www.bw.edu/re...oftware_piracy/

 

Software piracy is a very serious crime and violators may be fined and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.  Liabilities may fall under both civil and criminal law.  Civil action brought forth by the owner of copyrighted software can not only prevent further illegal use of the software but may also incur compensatory, monetary damages.  Actual damages have been known to include the dollar amount of loss due to the theft, the estimated value of funds profited by the thief, and statutory damages which can be as much as $150,000 for each individual program copied.  If the software copyright owner chooses to involve the government, criminal prosecution may also occur.  If convicted, fines of up to $250,000 and/or a jail sentence of up to five years are possible.

 

Your logic makes no sense! If the game is garbage then find another game that suits you.

[Fingolfin1222]

I dont have the game right now - cant afford it, but it seems to me that there are a lot of genuine control issues. No auto attack has to be painful for all those of us who use a mouse and keyboard, no click to move, no click to loot, broken tactical view etc are all real concerns. Also from what I have seen of the playthroughs on youtube it seems that there are only 4 trees per class - are more trees locked till later levels or is this it (cause if it is then it sucks)?? Another concern which I have is the limitation of abilities to only 8. Is there any way to increase this number - maybe 8 is enough for only 4 trees but in origins I was used to choosing out of 13-15 different abilities at a time, especially as a mage. 

 

The game still looks brilliant and I'll still buy it but if the above issues are not fixed then I feel that I'm destined for dissapointment

[TheGoddess0fWar]

And this is the problem with reviewers. Play the game and form your own opinon. You should take their's with a grain of salt it is their job after all, to be critical.

[SomeoneStoleMyName]

Game has flaws. But even despite these flaws, it is absolutely amazing. 

I have a lot of problems personally with some of the stuff in DA: I, but I have still played 120 hours and thirsty for another 200 hours at least. This game is really addictive and worth every cent imo.
 

[Panda]

I'd recommend waiting for patches before buying the game. Especially old gen players.

[DAOfanado]

The game from my poit of view has a fuge huge issues, depending on your preferences they can make the game unenjoyable for you:

 

- PC-Controls - they are bad (they said they will patch them - we will see)

- tactical combat controls - they are awful (i hope they will fix that aswell) (for example every time you switch character the tactical camera focuses on the Character - way to near to your characters etc)

- stupid companion AI (mages rushing in - hard to control your party like in DAO due to bad controls ...)

- Huge World with tons of quets - but a lot of filler - and most NPCs are non interactive and will pretty much act like stones

- lack of interaction outside of pre-defined interactions (its up to you if good pre-defined interactions can make up for that)

 

Depending on what you want you will either love or hate this game right now. If your into MMOs (non interactive NPCs, grind-quests, huge but kind of sterile worlds) and dont mind grinding and also dont want tactical combat its probably not a bad pick.

 

(Thing is if you turn difficulcy down and just play it more like a hack and slash the bad controls are way less problematic since you will never need advanced controls - you just move in "button-mashing") - this is probably why reviews are so different (this also affects the bad AI since it doesnt matter when you play it on easy)

 

I have bought the game - played it a few times for some hours trying to enjoy it due to all the positive reviews. In the end i didnt now its just 60 Dollars wasted. Maybe i will try it again once they patched at least the controls and hopefully companion AI.

 

For the waiting time - if you enjoyed DAO you will probably also like Divinity Original Sin etc.

This is so smart post. U even didn't play the game and now throw a dirt on it. Lol. Maybe try it first, then write critic. Second hand oppinions r rly not the best for constructive critic.

Perfect marketing and consumer education at work. What could a company want more than a horde of people buying products no matter what because you know "you cant have an opinion without wasting money and buying the product".

 

I guess i will never know if i defy hotplates - since you know i never touched one so how would i even know its hot or hurts?

 

Reality is you can have a rather good opinion of something without buying it - especially games since you can watch thousands of reviews, watch lets plays, read reviews etc.

 

But its interresting how this almost perfect-marketing-tool "you cant judge it without buying it" got so popular. I mean its awesome for companies since they can even sell the worst game and point a finger at anyone who hasnt bought it warning others ...

Well, and point in writing critic to something u didn't try? The gamers played the game at least. He didn't. But made nice long post about how the game sux. Lol. Kinda sad.

 

And would u write about how it hurts if u touch hotplates when u never did? I don't think so.

 

And u know, 100 people = 100 opinions. He said 10 gamers didn't like the game. Well, there r thousands who did.

How do you explain a blind man how the color red looks like?

Can this blind man pass his knowledge on to others?

[Eudaemonium]

The game is amazing. Honestly, it has its fair share of flaws as well, but by and large the game is a fantastic product and well-worth anyone's money.

 

And I'm playing on PS3. That should tell you something.

That you dont have the issues PC-Players have with the controls?

 

I dont think its a fantastic game - its not a bad game either - but it simply is a game for a specific type of player. Depending on if you are that type of gamer you will either like it or not like it.

 

Also i dont see how people can like the combat especially on PC. The only way i see combat as at least somewhat not an utter mess - is when playing on easy settings - which kind of makes the problems go away since tactical playing doesnt matter.

If you hadn't noticed by now, there are astroturf campaigns fueled by 4chan bigotry that enjoy hammering Bioware's user score on metacritic. They don't like that Bioware is inclusive, that you can have a world led by women, gays, what have you. So it is what it is. You can take your buying advice from the likes of those people, or you can read through some reviews by more reasonable people. I usually look at what Eurogamer, RPS and a couple more indieish critics have to say about games when I'm not sure whether I want to buy them.

 

And I've finished the game on Nightmare, started a new one on Nightmare. Combat doesn't bother me after the initial "oh god what am I doing" phase. YMMV. It's not the second coming of Dark Souls, granted, but I can deal with it fine.

why are you talking about 4chan? you don't talk about 4chan, ever. the very fact that you don't know this rule leads me to believe you are highly ignorant yet think you've stumbled upon some sort of pocket of wisdom... you can't summarize 4chan in a few lines of text, a handful of quips... you just can't do it
