Weird. I'm a little bit disappointed even though I had low expectations (or maybe the game just met my low expectations) but so far I've mostly seen a lot of positive opinions about the game. It's not the bummer that was DA2 I don't think. Even Angry Joe thought this game was amazing.
The biggest drawback for me is how unfocused the game is.

It's a good game that doesn't feel as much like Dragon Age as it should.
Also, lazy-ass console port.
Its human nature to complain louder than compliment. Do you recall these boards after Awakening was released? Or DA2? Regardless of your opinion of the various games, the reaction was harsh and vocal. Not that they were without merit, but if you're enjoying the game, you're probably playing it, or defending it in a thread someone else has already created.
Ha, funny. How times change. If BW were to release a DA:I extension of the same quality as Awakening, everyone would probably bow down in awe and praise BW with one voice.

People are always much more likely to voice things they dislike than they like, especially about video games. Content people either play more or do other things where as disappointed or angry people flock to the forums to make their voice heard
I'm sorry, but if you think pressing 'v' and 'r' constantly on PC is totally acceptable (just to name a few of the problems with the PC version of the game), then you're not being intellectually honest when comparing these controls with previous PC RPGs in the industry, let alone the earlier games in the series. Things are getting worse, and on top of it, they made promises and advertised specifically that it would not be this way. I am not 'special' for complaining about missing features, and misleading or fradulent advertising. That is their fault, not mine. It is not right to say that I am a special snowflake while completely glossing over their misleading and fraudulent advertising. If you want to gloss that stuff over, then you're not interested in the truth about the topic and then you're just a bioware apologist.
And you are unessesarily rude and offensive
You cant seem to accept that other people have different opinions that you and that those opinions are as valid as yours.
there are at least the same amount of people with no PC Problems.. so you can say that to YOU its horrible... but you cant act as if its an universal "fact" its just your opinion
No they wouldn't. There would be just as much backlash for something.
I think most people would realize if they had a high quality product in front of them. And given what we are "used" to now, Awakening, as an extension of the Origins main campaign, was absolutely brilliant in comparison.

That's funny because we do have a high quality product in front of us and it hasn't stopped the backlash.
Well, I can't play this high quality product, because the conversations freezes during certain quests (on xbox one), and it is stopping me from playing the story. If it doesn't work, it is not a high quality product. Simple as that. I will agree with you when they fix the gamebreaking bugs.
I think most people likes DAI and Yes most people in BSN doesn't like it that much.
But thats always the case, people who doesn't like Bioware, always saying they are done with Bioware,
Saying their trust is gone but they stay, they stay in BSN and spread their hate.
My Opinion I cherish it, Its not DAO, mostly cause its on a Pedestal and My warden is greater than Everything.
But I got sooooo much for my Money, I will buy all the future DLC and Expansion or anything that comes out
to show my support. This is not just a step in the right Direction but a really good game with a lot of Replayability.
Another really good game from Bioware, at release it is somewhat Buggy, but a complete game, with a good ending.
Many questions answered, many questions raised with hope of some interesting DLC / Expansion in the future,
And you are unessesarily rude and offensive

What is so non-factual about their advertisements and their failure in delivering on those promises? Just because some PC gamers are okay with the controls does not in any way excuse Bioware for misleading or even outright lying about the controls for the PC platform in their advertisements. This point is fact. It is not opinion.
They claim that they listened to the feedback of DA2, and made the game more like Origins and even said that the game was designed with the PC from the get-go, yet the controls are worse than both of those games. Bioware has advertised this game as "Made for PC Gamers, by PC Gamers". They have made numerous claims such as, "With Inquisition we've kept that [PC] legacy." or "The combat HUD was created specifically for PC." or "The tactical camera ... is just like you'd expect from Origins. You'll be super, super pleased with it." Yet, none of this is true. At best, it's misleading, and beyond that, you could make a strong claim that they just frankly lied and falsely advertised their game.
This game could magically cure cancer and people on the BSN would still be whinging that they didn't get a ****** with it too.
4chan is more sane than BSN.
Think about that.

Those claimes where never made in any official statement unless you see unofficial interviews as sources.. wich are highly unreliable
Well in their defense in comparison to many other games DA:I at least HAS a PC exclusive HUD.. the PC Version was cleary made with purpose... they fixed alot of things from DA2 and the Tactical Camera is indeed back.
none of their claims is false... they did what they said... its just not as you imagined.
there is a clear difference between you having false expectations and Bioware lying to us...
When I play a BioWare game I just tend to notice what they could have done to make my experience better. So I come to the forum to voice it. Maybe they agree with me and try to make the improvement later or add it. It not because I think the game is bad. It usually what happens when you're passionate about something and you want this something to improve.
Little thing like.. Being able to sit or a better window type for letter and stuff like this rather than a lifeless black screen. Or thingies like more than just one uniform when you're in Skyhold. Mini-game in bar so I have more reason to stay there and listen to the song I have unlocked.
Anyway.
1. 6-12 months down the line will DA:I be viewed in a more positive or negative light? Will those who were harsh on the game gain more of an appreciation for it, or vise versa?
2. For those who don't like the game or were really disappointed, what's your attitude towards Bioware and the Dragon Age series at this point in time? Are you no longer a fan? Are you giving up on it? Do you have low expectations for it's future?
3. Are a lot of fans really disappointed with the game, or is this the voices of a few being really loud? When the dust settles, will there be a lot more positivity towards this game a few weeks from now?
Yeah when we bet the game our opinions will change.
I'm not THAT disappointed. The castration of the combat system, the frustration of multiplayer mode and the rest of the game occasionally bugging out, those things have just lowered my rating by at least 1/10 so far. But it's too early for me to say if I really dislike the game. Dragon Age has had some of the best games I've ever played (mainly origins) so I probably will still like it when I've finished.
Of course the newbies to the franchise are going to love it. But I've already seen a lot of people like me who played Origins that aren't too thrilled, and of course there are the PC players and their technical issues.
the complaining is always loud when the game first comes out because the people actually enjoying the game are just that enjoying the game.
Seems people dont give it enough credit.
You guys will never get the original Dragon Age back as much as we would like that to happen. We must take what we can get, or what we are given. Dragon age Inquisition is a great game, I love it personally. Biowares magical potion of the characters personality s and reactions towards your choices, the romances. The plottwists and the choices that you hope you wont regret. The only thing I really was a little annoyed about was the lacking of Hawke and the Hero of Ferelden and previous characters [Alistar, Fenris, Anders, So on] I would have liked to see more of them and how they had changed over the years.
This game could magically cure cancer and people on the BSN would still be whinging that they didn't get a ****** with it too.

Think about that.
I can confirm that you're right, but then you're not right.
The Dragon Age general over at /vg/ like the game a lot and are level headed about their opinions.
/v/ on the other hand hates anything Bioware related with absolute visceral, to the point where even attempting to say anything positive or slightly optimistic about the game will get you called a shill/marketer. They HATE Bioware with the passion of a million Foreman Grills.
Its also worth pointing out that PC gamers tend to be overrepresented here relative to their actual percentage of the fanbase. I bet if you were to poll people here on what platform they use around more than half would answer PC, while the PC version of the game doesn't even come close to accounting for half of all sales. The PC version of the game has a lot more problems with bugs than the console versions.
I haven't beaten the game yet so I haven't made up my mind on where in the series I'd rank it. I do feel safe in saying though that it is a a good game and a vast improvement over Dragon Age 2.

How is interviews with Mike Laidlaw and other Bioware employees unreliable? What kind of a double speak is this? They work for the company. I believe it was made on their youtube channel itself. It's about as official as you can get.
They said, and I quoted, that the tactical camera is just like Origins. It isn't. It's not just subtly different - it's entirely different. This statement alone is very easy to evaluate and determine its truthfulness.
There are many legitimate criticisms of this game.
And there are many that are not legitimate criticisms of this game.
One day, I do hope that you learn the difference.
I felt there was a bit of a fail on pacing for the main story, I almost felt like it was rushed to a extent.
Romance was sweet and good, But left me longing for more. I honestly thought i was missing something at sometimes. Would have loved to do more things with Companions/Love Interest
Some of the side quest felt really bland and not intuitive, Almost like a single MMO quest are added just to add time to the game for promo reasons.
The inquisitor's voice actress for the female ones felt as if they didn't really care, It just seems they are emotionless.
I really wish there was more i could do at the end of the game, I wish i had the option to rip open the Fade and go into the black city at a attempt to become a god just like, Morrigan suggested during a conversation you have. Missed opportunity there.
I felt the main villian wasn't really a threat as he never attacked me at Skyhold, I wish their was a chance that you could have lost companions during the end game. I just felt we randomly walked in and killed him and then went back in a quick matter. Again, Falling action from that was way too short and the climax should have been extended with battles from before reaching the Breach.
All in all, I enjoyed the characters a lot. Story was alright. Their definitely was missed opportunity here and if i gave it a score, I settle for 7.7/10
I can confirm that you're right, but then you're not right.

So, pretty much exactly the same as the BSN, then.
