Well finished the game once, enjoyed it. Second time around got to Skyhold and stopped caring. Not much replayability at all to me anyway. lol

[Captain_Obvious]

The environments are my favorite part of the game.  Every environment looks so detailed, lush, and full of life, even when it's almost empty.  The Western Approach and the Hissing Wastes are both deserts, but they are vastly different deserts that each have a character of their own.  When we complained (yes we, me included) about the recycled environments of DA2, they didn't just try to hit a home run with DAI, they knocked it into orbit.  I don't mind the fetching like I did in DA2, because that was "go to the same Wounded Coast, into the cave that was blocked by a wagon, and somehow looks exactly like the last cave, repeat".  

 

The broken down statues of dwarves that have lasted for eons, the large moon in the sky, the distant campfire that beckons you to investigate, that is the Hissing Wastes.  It is sublimely beautiful.  Desolate, with the promise of mystery and reward for those brave enough to explore it.  

 

Each environment is remarkable in it's own way.  I love it.  Except for that damn Halam'shirol mission.  I hate politics.  

[Grieving Natashina]

Edit: Not contributing to any negativity, so instead I'll say that the Iron Bull romance was a lot more romantic that I thought it would be.  

 

Emprise du Lions was really pretty, but I think the Emerald Graves wins for my favorite zone.  It was a lovely forest, but more importantly, the elven ruins everywhere helped bring some of those old codex entries to life.

Wish I could pick somewhere between the first and second option on the... pool. They probably are the best studio in the world, especially in how they put together a story. But they tend to get a little lazy when we blow smoke up their ass. But they're also one of the few studios who actually fix things when the fans complain enough about their AAA products. They certainly did with ME3.

I don't disagree with this, but you are in the "Feedback & Sugestions" forum, I guess it gould be a sugestion to love Bioware..

 

I like them too ( Bioware games have given me many hours of wasted time, that was fun ), not problem with that.

 

  However many read the stuff in  the "Feedback & Sugestions" forum in a very defensive way ( becoming mad because someone says something bad about there favorite game ), and this part of there forum Bioware was nice enough to give us a place to vent about things we would like to see changed, and things we miss, or wish were placed back in the game.

 

   Do not take the request's for change here to always mean that these people are just bashing Bioware, or hate Bioware. This part of there forum was made for this very thing.

 

  If I had no problems with the game and all was fine, except I needed help in some part of it ( Quest, or where to find and Item ), I would never come here, unless I just wanted to rage at people for saying something was bad about my favorite game.

 

I would think and, "I love Bioware" thread would be better placed in a more general forum area.

[SpiritMuse]

We exist.  We get a little drowned out sometimes, but we exist.  When I'm feeling a little too overwhelmed by negativity, I stop by some of the fan threads.  Dorian, and Iron Bull's especially Their enthusiasm is contagious, and it cheers me right up.   Those threads are fun, but tend to get a little racy sometimes.  
 
For the game, one of my favorites parts was well, this at Adamant Fortress:
 

Spoiler

I choose to save the Wardens instead of sending them into exile, and I got a great screenshot of my Cadash during the speech.
 

 
One of my favorite parts of being a fan in general is the international fanbase for BioWare games.  Taking a look at the "Show off your Inquisitor" thread if you need some cheering up.  I've counted captions and interfaces from at least 5 different languages.  And while I know that some of them are also in bug report/feedback threads discussing some of the problems they've had with the game, they are still having a lot of fun too.

The Cullen fan thread is also a pretty nice place to be. I became a Cullenite at least as much for the company as for the actual Cullen. As a result I'm probably the only Cullenite who is actually capable of being mean to Cullen without saving and reloading afterwards. ;D

I have posted some harsh words about the flaws of the game here and there (and will continue to do so), but I would also like to note that I am currently on my third successive playthrough. In spite of the flaws I am thoroughly enjoying the game.

My favorite part will always be the whole sequence of events that takes you from Haven to Skyhold. Such an incredible roller coaster of badass heroics, desperation, determination, sacrifice, doubt, hope... It never fails to hit me right in the feels. I always keep a save game just before it so I can replay it whenever I like.

And Dorian's entrance into Haven if you recruit the Templars is just incredibly badass. I've watched that about a million times on YouTube.

[Otter-under-the-mountain]

I'm going to put it this way: I've played this game all the way through once, and I've done a few playthroughs that died somewhere in the middle of chapter two. And I have yet to find a single thing that I dislike, and there are a lot of things that I do like.
 
There are things that aren't conventional, like healing and auto-assigned stats, but it's very well balanced with those things in mind, and once you get used to it, it still feels natural. I had a very brief "damn you, muscle memory!" because I kept trying to hold both mouse buttons to go forward like DAII, but that's just something you have to power through with any game. And sure there are some weird things like Krem's antics on the chair, but it's not to hard too headcanon in that he's stretching out leg cramps or something. I only ran into one major bug that kept me from progressing the plot, and that turned out to be because of a bugged install that I haven't seen anyone else bring up and was fixed by reinstalling, so it seems to have been a one-off thing that happened on my end. Can't blame Bioware for my computer deciding to relieve itself on one of its files.

I hated having to go through the Winter Palace, having my choices limited by what the court would approve of, and having to carefully chart out what to do to get all of them to work together, then having to reload an hour and a half of gameplay because none of the guides I could find mentioned that you have to show the damn locket to Celene and Briala before you do it. And I love that I hate that quest. That is exactly how I feel about ambitious politicking, and they captured exactly how I imagine I would feel about having to play the Great Game just to get some spoiled brats who haven't matured past seven to cooperate.

 

Seriously, I don't know who wrote that quest, but they deserve more money than they're getting payed for it.

[Razir-Samus]

I didn't know that being a fan of a company and enjoying their product was some sort of "cause."  Or that politely asking folks to stay on topic was a "cause" either.

 

Not everyone is so upset that they are raging continuously.  Not everyone feels the need to continue the hatefest in every single thread that they post in.  If you disagree, then please go find one of the countless threads dedicated to being angry at EA/BioWare/the Maker/whatever.  Life's too short to be up in arms all the time, you know.  

 

I'm glad I made you laugh though.  Whatever works for you.  

 

So, to everyone in the thread that is contributing to the intention behind it's creation, have you finished the game yet?  Also, what was everyone's favorite parts?

i think it's a bit sad that you feel the need to refer to negative feedback as "raging" and "hating"... like there's no other way you can provide such an opinion on the game, that's why i laughed at you, because your attitude is amusing

 

life's too short to bend over and take it just because you don't have the power to do anything about it

[Tsunami Chef]

I'm really, really enjoying the game...i've played 200 hours and still have a ton of things I'd like to see/do. Regardless of how objectively good or bad the game is, thank you BIoware for giving me a game that has given me more time and fun than any game in the last 5 years. If DA:I hadn't come out this year, I can definitely say my year wouldn't have been as happy.

Oh yes, Krem and his crazy chair antics! If they ended up fixing that I would miss it. XD

Well you started a Bioware love thread and put a poll in it, when most likely the people clicking on this thread will be agreeing with it, which biases the poll.
Inquisition is a massive disappointment. It is literally a single player MMO with a TOUCH of Origins.
What bothers me is the people that say Origins was OK and this is better. It's a totally different type.of game masquerading as a sequel. It would be like if I was making LOTR:Return of the King, but when you went to watch it it was just The Expendables 3 set in Middle Earth.

Out of respect for the OP (see, there's that word respect again,) this is the last time I'm addressing comments like this in this thread.

 

The posted was edited because it's obvious you aren't reading what I wrote.  And yes, I think coming into every single thread that is in the Feedback section to talk smack about the company, the publisher or even fellow fans is raging at that point.  I've been called a "stupid mindless sheeple BioWare drone," because I don't hate Inquisition.  I've been told I'm not a "real fan" or an "actual player" because I enjoyed the game.  

 

It isn't just me either.  I've seen this all over the place on the forums and it's getting real old.  We're all fans of the series, right?  We all feel passionate about the game, correct?  We don't need to be angry all the time, yes?

 

The hell is up with the insults?  It's pixels, people.  PIXELS, and we're calling each other names over it?  Or offering cute little backhanded insults?   Give me a break.

 

I have been posting in several threads about bugs and issues.  I have been working with devs and the like.  As a matter of fact, I spent a week recording footage and sending saves to Conal (one of the devs) to help him with the party banter issue.   So I'm not bending over and taking it, as you so gracefully put it.  I am thinking that just one thread that's about enjoying the game instead of ripping on everything/everyone is a good thing.

 

So, if optimism bothers you that much, then you'd probably be better off elsewhere.  

[Dherelv]

I wish I could say I loved Bioware. I certainly have loved many of their games. However, supporting a bad game will only lead to more bad games. Not to mention that Bioware said:
DRAGON AGE INQUISITION WOULD BE MADE FOR THE PC IN MIND.
And
DRAGON AGE INQUISITION WOULD GO BACK TO ITS ORIGINS ROOTS.

Regardless of whether or not you enjoy the game, those are clearly lies. Bioware lost the respect of many of their fans. Personally I think Inquisition sucks.

 

I don't think you must blindly support it, but there's no need to point out things as if they were crimes! See, somethings may not be there as we expected but maybe the attempt is there and we are missing.

 

Take for instance the PC issue. The tactical mode is there. Is it so bad some rather not use it? Well, that's they failing on doing something for those people. The tactical mode is a good example because it's main problem is clearly of a technical nature, bad camera. If they had success with the camera issue, wouldn't it be usable? Yes imo. Now take other AAA RPG titles, they don't even try! So Bioware deserves praise for trying, and of course, should be pointed out to the problem, but not by accusing them of being liars, right?

 

And just to make it complete, well, DAI brings back the "all out war" story line from Origins, also some of it's iconic characters for you to interact with. It doesn't bring back the same spells, skills or gameplay but they never specified it right? Those things wouldn't came back anyway, it's clear the industry feels that they are not suitable to the mass marketing needs.

[Grieving Natashina]

Oh yes, Krem and his crazy chair antics! If they ended up fixing that I would miss it. XD

I have a feeling that's going to be a bug that's going to stay.  It isn't game breaking and it added a nice little memorable touch for the character.  A good bug, if you will.

[Dherelv]

Well, since it's result will not alter the fate of human kind, i'm not too worried

... I absolutely would watch that movie.

 

Seriously, though. The Dragon Age franchise (and Bioware-made things in general, for that matter) is defined by having a rich setting, a detailed background, and compelling characters. I see all three things here. If you're angry it's not a clone of Origins and can't accept that a series can both do new things and stay true to its roots, just go play Origins.

[Captain Wiseass]

The Lethal Weapon and Die Hard franchises notwithstanding, "sequel" does not mean "exactly the same as the first one". Nor should it.

[FKA_Servo]

I would watch that movie, too.

i get tired of people being overly positive and telling anyone with a complaint to F off, basically... it does indeed work both ways, so don't attempt to exempt yourself from scrutiny with pleasant hyperbole

 

i've read every post you've made and they could be summarized quite easily

 

i'm not angry therefore i don't rage... i'm simply disappointed in bioware and the lack of any real communication beyond PR, and that is leading to frustration... i don't think i've flat-out insulted you either, mocked maybe, but not insulted

 

i find it ironic that you begin your response with a little quip about respect after making the statement that the people with anything negative to say are raging and hating on the game and bioware

I see what you mean, but i started the thread here because imagine there is a Bioware fan wanting to buy the game, so he wants feedback from users to make his mind over if the game is worthed playing? I just felt that in this case, this forums will give him a bigger No than a Yes.

 

And really, i have a hard time just tagging it a "Love Bioware Thread"... It's just a Thread really, filled up with ideas and easy going humor!

 

Defensive game lovers exists, in the other hand, raging trollers  do too. I think the better position to be is at the center of it.

[Grieving Natashina]

I would watch that movie, too.

Me too.  

[Xralius]

It was also defined by having diverse character customization, engaging quests, and a gritty fantasy world. Aside from the graphics and layout, which are amazing, the setting is not rich or detailed. I feel like I'm playing a single player MMO.

I think there is a fine line between criticism and vitriol...a line this forum hasn't walked very well. Almost every thread I've seen on this forum about a negative aspect of the game eventually dissolves into how Bioware broke their promises and how they cheated their fans for x or y reason. I think most people are perfectly fine with criticism as long as people realize it's their opinion, and they don't villainize Bioware by acting as if they have created some great deceit by releasing this game as it is.

[Captain Wiseass]

Criticism's great. Victim narratives and martyr complexes are gross.
