this is feedback right?

 

I was sceptical at first, especially since EA bought Bioware the games seemed to have lost a lot of soul, also some of the press was either too good to be true (marketing) or mentioned problems that were important to me.

 

Anyway I gave it a go, didn't wait for it to go on sale and payed the whole 70 Euros for it.

 

And to be honest, I don't regret this at all, it's worth every penny, I'm not finished with the game yet but all I can think when I do the next main mission is "omg I hope that's not the end of it after this!!"

 

At first I was dissapointed by the fighting controls (not the gameplay or mechanics) but I got used to them now and love it.

 

The biggest issue I have though, is very annoying, and I did make a post about it, is the gender bug. I created a man with a beard and everyone adresses him as "my lady". Not only that but when any romance option comes up, I never know whether it's a gay romance or if its the bug making people think I'm a lady, I mean my old battle worn bearded macho man is actually a lady I might have made the best of it by enjoying some lesbian relationship :xD but this confuses everything and I never know where I stand so am more or less forced to avoid romance because of it.

 

No game can always be perfect though, and I hope this gets fixed very soon because apart from that, I am LOVING the game, it brought the series to a real new level, great job!

 

 

Oh just one more thing, before playing inquisition I played DA 1 and 2 from start to finish so that the story would be fresh in my mind and there would be some coherence. I'm a little dissapointed at being unable to import it all, I've had to customise the world on mykeep as I remember playing it and I had to re-customise Hawk again, would have been nice to have everything saved.

 

And just one very last thing, speaking of importing characters and stories, I didn't play the DLCs so had no idea how to set them up, you might have wanted to take that into account for people like me.

 

But yeh, thanks and congratulations on an amazing game

No, it's not.

 

Nice try anyway.

 

PS1: You should try starting a sentence with a capital letter.

PS2: It is dangerous to play video games while very high on whatever you are using.

Baba dissaproves !

[Maclimes]

I agree, Baba. There are some flaws, yes. But overall, this is one of the best RPGs I have ever played. I'm very happy with the experience, although my long-term loyalty hinges on forthcoming patches to fix some of the big problems.

[xrayspex73]

Despite the bugs, it is the best Dragon Age to date in my opinion.

 

Are there flaws? Sure. DA:O had flaws too, it just seems a lot of people look back on it with rose tinted glasses.

 

I am also a little bummed about the no game importing as well but the keep arguably will give them more control over past and future choices. They can add choices that did not have flags in the original DA:O saved games and would be unavailable otherwise. I kind of see why the keep was necessary.

Isn't that a conditional happy?

When is being happy not conditional?

[Johnsen1972]

Its a great game, but DAO and Skryrim are still better. Just my opinion though.

[Han Shot First]

Its got some flaws, but I think its the best DA game to date. DA:O like ME1, is overrated a bit out of nostalgia.

 

Also its got a lot more depth and story than Skyrim.

[strangerism]

Congratulations from me as well, I am impressed by the scope which doesn't just mean big maps or lots of things to do, but rather the depth and many layers of all the gameplay feature, from the combat, to the war room, the dialogue with companion or npc and the romances which are quite funny even when you just pretend you are interested but not really keen. well done to you. Now would you kindly fix those bugs, ui and controls.

[Keithian]

I'm now 12 hours into Origins and it feels very very slow because to me the combat is way TOO tactical. It's boring to me. The game as a who feels more like watching a movie. Fortunately so far it's an excellent movie and I'm doing it to learn more lore, but I actually just changed the mode to easy not because I was dying, but because the game is so linear and movie like I just want to watch lol. I'm enjoying DAI much more.

[Sullwyn]

I just clocked 106hrs of game play and have been playing it since midnight release.

bioware developers I would like to thank you. You have written an amazing story across this franchise. The moments never get dull for me with each play through. I absolutely love the open world we have. I'm not a big gamer. I never finished a game until Dragon Age. Scratch that, I did beat Starfox but that's been it lol.

but seriously, I love the lore. I love the characters. I mean you guys execute the feels. From dealing with the Hawke mom death, to cullens lyrium usage to the simple love interests. You have created a beautiful game. I play on a ps3 and even on a last Gen consel I can see the time and effort put into this.

I feel like you have been bashed very hard for the technical issues and I apologize for that. I wish to thank you for your responses in the forums and twitter and for keeping us updated and listening to our feed back.

I love the multiplayer, my exp has been playing with a bunch of people running like a chicken with your head cut off. Its awesome to play as a team, with real objectives and evenly distributed looting.

I congratulate you all on winning goty. I think the story, the music, the art, everything you all have spent the last few years working on has paid off and I for one thoroughly enjoy it.

so I just wanted to put out a positive note for you guys. I know the forums are flooded with technical issues, with different expectations and desires. But as a casual gamer who just loves this story, the games and the books, I am not disappointed and seriously am racking my brain on where the story will lead to next.


Thank you Dragon Age team!

[Greetsme]

I know just how the OP feels.  

I had this awesome quest were I had to retrieve 5000 fluffy wool balls so that I could knit a woolly jumper for Varric.  When I got to something like my 3000th fluffy wool ball, Varric said  'be careful where you tread'  and right there at my feet was a fluffy wool ball.  How amazing is that?

When I finally found and picked up my last fluffy wool ball, I nearly fainted with glee.  

Truly awesome stuff.

I love this game! Congrats Bioware on creating an awesome experience, I had to buy a second copy if the game because my wife stole mine and wouldn't stop playing ! (Yes we have 2 xbox 360s)

Lmao it's stories like these that make me think Co-op really should have been added. Still great to see more people enjoying the game .

[taglag]

I like it but there is no way it compares to DA origins, unless you are a console only player, what with all the mods for Origins, and the ability to personalize Origin's No way. Not to mention the I think rather epic battle vid's in Origins, as well as the story, and the Villian's you learned to hate there.

 

  No it is a very nice game, and Well worth the money, but once you get over the DA fix you needed after like 4 year's waiting, I think you will see its faults.

 

It is nice to have something adding to the DA series, and its okay, but the mod-ability of this one look pretty nill right now. All you will have is DLC's and a few nude skin mod's maybe someone will fix the small inventory, and there could be a possible mod fix or cheat for the Romance stat increase( Possibly some one will make an editer ), but other than that, nada.

 

I just have doubts that they will turn out a construction set, and as it is a concluding game (Not open ended), normally not many extra mods are produced for those. DAO being and exception.

 

The Banter is mostly lame, and just not a funny as Origins, I was laughing my arse off a lot with the comic relief in Origins, but here the banter has been really lame, and not very comical, at least to me.

 

The depth of the story is just not there, in fact this ones story is somewhat confusing a lot of the time, and hard to wrap your mind around, I am sure some of you have all the answers ( Or think you do ), but it has gap's.

 

It is very good though, just not as epic as Origins was.

[hong]

Indeed, I've just finished the storyline after a bit less than 120 hours, and this has been a great experience. Yeah, there are things that could have been done better, but that happens for every game. It's amazing to see how far Bioware have come since the days of Baldurs Gate, in things like depth of story and characterisation. The NPCs get better with every new release; and if you go back far enough and compare Cass with Jaheira, or Cullen with Anomen (ugh), the difference is like night and day. Will be getting the DLC which we all know will be coming down the track.

When I just start playing in DAI I was delighted too and didn't understand the discontented people...but later I started to notice some problems\minuses and now(yes, I've finished this game, almost twice) my impressions are good and bad at the same time, so to be short...main pluses\minuses imo:

 

Pluses:

Main Quest, Cut Scenes, Music, Characters, Beatiful Locations

 

Minuses:

1. Really short Main Quest. 5 or 6 medium-length missions.

2. Side Quests (really boring,they are not memorable, no interesting characters, no chain quests, no cutscenes and endless paper notes\diaries) and main problem is that 80-90% of this game is this boring\not rewarding side quests. Feels like MMO quests and I played a lot of MMO and should say that games like, for example, WoW have more interesting side quests than this game.

3. Armor variety...so small variety + for some reason there is a Race Restricted armors, it makes armor variety even worse, not to say, that 90% of armor looks ugly.

4. Exploring becomes almost pointless, because you know, that there is no interesting events\quests and no cool looking armor to find, all look the same and boring.

5. no point in continue playing in open world after completing Main Quest + Companion related stuff(quests) disappear.

6. Wartable...there was so much potential..could have been many interesting chain quests etc..

7. Customization. Dye system problem: want this stats, but hate this color. Want to use this cool looking item but can't craft it, no schematics for it. Or want to use this Legendary item stats on another, lets say, armor model...yes, I'm talking about Transmutation(Sandal\Dagna can do this). Schematics are very Rare, bacuse of it Customization becomes even worse. No possibility to change our face\hair mid game(yes, Mirror of transformation).

8. Balance. Played on Nightmare with Reaver(Qunari) and Knight Enchanted(Human)...most of the time you're pressing 1 main button and some times additional 2 buttons, that's all, no tactics needed. My Knight Enchanter didn't die at all even without Fire Tree(-1 sec per cast in order to reduce 8sec. Fade Cloak cooldown). Really easy and thus fights becomes boring.

9. ..and of course Qunari...we were expecting DA2 Qunari, but get some sort of ugly humans with horns and ugly\bald hairstyles, with no unique Race armor, no armor at all, except for customizable armor(design is bad, really bad).

 

Soo...no...I can't say, that this game(at least in it's current state) is 'Absolutely awesome', on each plus there is a minus, game isn't good and isn't that bad.

There are a ton of chain war table quests...and if DA:I's main story is short, so is every other bioware game...they just decided to cram massive amounts of content into the story missions instead of having you go nug hunting in the middle of doing a story quest.

 

You also literally picked the 2 most OP classes in the game...idk if on purpose.

 

Also..for a game that wasn't good, and wasn't bad...,u spent about 500% more time explaining why you didn't like it compared to why you did.

[Futhark]

No.

 

They just decided to cram massive amounts of content into the story missions instead of having you go nug hunting in the middle of doing a story quest.

 

yeah, right..massive amount of content... you know that Quality is always over Quantity, no?...and as I've said, even WoW and some other MMOs have much interesting side quests..

 

There are a ton of chain war table quests...

 

You do know what high quality chain quests are? Like in Skyrim...for example Dark Brotherhood chain quests, Thieves Guild, such quests even present in MMO like WoW...but War Table chain quests with text only? Seriously?

 

You also literally picked the 2 most OP classes in the game...idk if on purpose.

 

No I didn't know, I've picked these classes because I like how Reaver works and I like Battlemages..imo it's much more interesting to fight with a sword and casting spells as well, sadly there is still no special sword abilities...

Rogue is just poorly balanced compared to all other classes...game isn't that hard for warrior\mage other specs, not that easy as Reaver or KE, but still easy.

 

Also..for a game that wasn't good, and wasn't bad...,u spent about 500% more time explaining why you didn't like it compared to why you did.

 

Of course I did, such things always needs some explanations...I don't have to say why I liked this and that, most people will understand why I like it, it's obvious, at least in this case.

And just one very last thing, speaking of importing characters and stories, I didn't play the DLCs so had no idea how to set them up, you might have wanted to take that into account for people like me.

 

Yes, I had played the Legacy DLC in DA2 just because it was the one with the better reviews. Good thing I did, since the story is so strongly related.

 

 

And in general I agree with you. I played both games before playing this one, and I'm loving DA:I. The bugs are the only issue I have. I hope they get patched soon, because the ones when the dialog get freezed (eg. in cutscenes, such as Cassandra's romance or Loghain dialgos) are very annoying.

 

Also, in this forum in general it looks like a lot of people has idealized DA:O. It looks like no one remember its flaws (over-powered mages, ridiculous amount of time required to manage the inventory, very basic loyalty system based on stupid gifts almost exclusively, almost no auto-saves even though any random encounter can kill you...). I don't know if it's just nostalgia, resistance to change, or a combination of both, but it looks like a surprisingly big amount of players just wanted DA:O with a new story, like Awakening, over and over again. Well... I wouldn't have bought another Awakening. I'm glad DA:I offers new things.

 

Objectively speaking, a game that offers 2 ways of playing combat is better than a game that offers just 1. For my personal taste, the landscapes are great, the music is awesome, the characters are interesting enough (plus we now have a leading team, separated from the companions, for more variety), and the characters from the previous game, at least the part I have played (about 38 hours into the game now) are being brought in a way that's fun and fits the story. So, overall a great game, that will be almost perfect once they fix the bugs.
