The BSN is in need of a happy dose of detox.

It's because you're a weirdo*, OP.

One does not simply like all three games in the series.

*I'm a weirdo too. I actually like all three games.

[Cespar]

I like the dark and gritty of Origins.

The personal story of DA:2.

The companions/Characters/NPCs and semi-open world of Inquisition. 

I love Thedas and the stories that it offers me through the games and books. Inquisition and Asunder just so happens to be my favorite, though.

You know me too well.

They each have their flaws but I too like all 3 games

Big fan of City Elf and Mage Origins, my favorite playthroughs

DA2 still ranks as my favorite. The game had plenty of flaws but Hawke & the misfits made it worth it, they were generally fun people to adventure with then Anders had to show up and be a big buzzkillington

Inquisition is good, makes the world feel more alive than ever but the DLC will definitely make it or break it for.

I'd say I'm one of the few who didn't like the cast of Origins all that much. I hated Alisters constant crying, Leiliana's preachy nature (hardening FTW), and Zevran...meh. I really only liked Wynne, Sten, Oghren, Shale and Morrigan squeezes at last

[Zeroth Angel]

Good for you OP.

 

I only liked DA:O and DA:I myself but the more power to you if you can enjoy all of them.

[BraveVesperia]

Maybe I'm just easy to please, but I also love all three games, as well as the companions (plus DAI's advisors). All three have something that really draws me to them and sets them above other games. In particular how engaging the companions are. That's the main strength of the series for me, that I can find likeable/symapthetic qualities even characters I'm not keen on (like Oghren or Sebastian). So long as Bioware keeps up with the great characters, I think I'll be keeping up with them.

Loved all three games as well (they all have different strengths and flaws)! It's the only gaming universe (so far) that has me interested in (as well as enjoying!) reading books taking place in it.

[Orian Tabris]

I love all 3 games, and consequently (well, maybe consequently) every companion in it.

 

I've yet to play a BioWare game where I didn't love all the companions (or at least all the ones I used - for instance, my Lawful Good crusader in BG2 never recruited the Chaotic Evil Korgan Bloodaxe).

[Lebanese Dude]

I tried to play DA2 again before DA:I released, got to halfway through Act 2

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

All three Dragon Age games have given me hundreds of hours of entertainment.

 

Pretty good value, there.

 

That's the way I see it. All my complaints usually are glamorous enough for prom night.

 

Combined with the insane replay value of both franchises, I can only say "We'll bang for your buck, okay?"

 

I'm more of an anomaly with this, but I specifically loved the second one. I got my hands on it during a difficult time in my life, and the entire story & characters really spoke to me even more than the other games did; and helped me through it to a great degree. It will always be one of those special games you remember for things as far as I'm concerned.

You're lucky. Late 2013 - late 2014 was emotionally really difficult for me (and I'm still feeling the effects), and I didn't have any new game to cheer me up. At best I had Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII to play, but I couldn't delve into the PC's life the way I could have playing DA2. Well, there was Baldur's Gate 2, but that kind of had the same problem, and the ending (Throne of Bhaal) was probably too bitter-sweet to really help.

 

It's good to have video games that brighten up your life - that's kind of the whole point of games, really: immerse yourself in something you find enjoyable, especially if you're feeling down.

[Shevy]

Origins - yeah!

 

DA II - God no!

 

DA:I - it's okay-ish

[Aaleel]

I'm 2/3, I'll probably end up playing DA:I as much as Origins depending on the future content that is released.

[Aren]

 I really like DA 2 but Act 3 was a bit of an abomination.  

Like Anders

[katokires]

When I see this thread I thank god that humans will not exist in the universe in the future. Is there any way to make the sun "shut down" before we find a way to travel to other galaxies and find a new home?

[SpiritMuse]

Re-playing origins is difficult though, end game it slows to a crawl in Denerim. 
 

Interestingly, I have the opposite reaction - Denerim is when the story really starts picking up speed and stuff finally starts happening, and it's the long treks through the world solving all those peoples' individual Troubles before they'll finally commit to helping you that can get tedious for me.

I still loved it though, female City Elf origin FTW.


And I've always felt a bit of a heretic on here for loving DA2 as much as I do - such full and vibrant characters and finally a story that's different from the typical "designated hero saves the world" - but I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I played it more than I did DAO, and my DAI has yet more playthroughs and still counting.

[AmberDragon]

I really like all of the games too and the dlc. As others have said there are things I like and dislike but that is the same with any game I have ever played.  

 

I am looking forward to some good story dlc too the bigger the better.

 

I also enjoy the Mass Effect games, perhaps I am just easy to please.

 

As to those complaining about bugs in other threads … look at it this way it was no where near as bad as Assassin's Creed: Unity. I have to say even I had to put to one side in the hope that they can eventually fix it enough to make it playable, heck Ubisoft oven delayed the release of that and it was still an unplayable mess.

[Poledo]

Nothing wronmg with some positive feedback TC! In general I think most people really do like the games - but it's so easy to identify flaws.

 

My only issue with 2 was the recycled areas. Other than that I really got involved in Hawke's personal story and that of his/her companions.

[The Serge777]

I'm in the same camp.  Love all three games and looking forward to another installment (after a few quality, story-driven DLCs for Inquisition).

 

I'm one of those people who really like DA2.  Despite its severe flaws (lack of agency, recycled locations, and the more "video-gamey" aspects of mobs), I love this game a lot.  The personal story, the avoidance of a huge world-shaking threat, and the more mature themes about human nature (best manifested in the lack of a single antagonist) were great attempts to challenge the status quo of traditional WRPGs.  If only Bioware had spent more time refining the game, it would have been a masterpiece.

 

That said, I loved DAO too, although I have to admit that I probably prefer DA2 to DAO because the latter clung a bit closer to traditional fantasy themes (albeit with an emphasis on the darker elements).  While I don't think the multiple origins (or multiple races) necessarily needed to return, I thought they were an excellent method to introduce the broad themes that define the franchise. 

 

DAI has been a great experience.  While I miss the darker elements found in DAO (they're there, but covered up in that you see the aftermath of most horrors rather than interacting with them directly) and certainly miss the more sophisticated route of avoiding an easily identified villain (while Calpernia and Samson come close to addressing this, and even Corypheus has some oomph to his pursuit given some of what he says, they're still pretty nasty people), I like the breadth of experience.  I also like the depth.  While there aren't as many cinematics to reinforce that depth, we get a lot of information about the world in a way we never have before and some of the revelations towards the end were really excellent. 

 

But, I'd be loathed to rank the games...  Indeed, in a way, I think the fact that the games don't have a fixed style (like the ME franchise or even BG or NWN) has been both a blessing and a curse.  Each game has changed so much from its predecessor that comparing them too much becomes a somewhat foolish endeavor.  Yet, on the other hand, the lack of a consistent style is one of the reasons there continues to be so much conflict among certain elements of the fan base.

So did I .
