DA:I is not even in my RPG top10. In fact, it's not a game I'd recommend to anyone. Except perhaps as a bad example.

 

Don't get me wrong, DA:I is not a bad game... but it is riddled with so many issues (not bugs) that there is no enjoyment left. A story driven RPG should evoke emotions, not boredom.

 

I had an analogy comparing DA:I to a car but honestly DA:I isn't worth the effort of typing anything about it again. Everything has been said, it's time to end all these discussions. It's not like they are going to change anything. I've written ~1500 posts just for DA:I, I'm done with it.

 

You love/hate this game? Okay. Your opinion. But please, speak only for yourself.

[Robert Cousland]

My list of best RPG's ever made includes- The Secret of Mana, Chrono trigger, all Zelda games but Adventure of Link, Final Fantasy 1 to 10, DA Origins, Mass Effect 1 to 3, Tales of Symphonia, The Last Story, Pandoras Tower, Xenoblade, Earthbound, and most Pokemon games.

 

Thats all I can remember right now.

 

Inquisition is a good and enjoyable game, but I wouldnt put it in the same league as those games.

I like that one theory that one person brought up saying something along the lines of "different people have different opinions." At first I thought they were talkin' crazy, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense to me and the more I like it. So I'm gonna support that theory. 

 

 

I like the cut of your jib, Sir.

There is so much ridiculous semi-trolling whinging going on about this game on these boards, and it's really frustrating me. Especially since much of it is clearly coming from people who are playing this game to death, yet feel the need to come on these boards to whine and have their baseless criticisms validated because they think it makes them seem like discerning gamers.

 

Nuts to that. 

 

I have played Bioware games since Baldur's Gate 2, and up until now that was my favourite RPG of all time. I liked DA:O just fine, and I loved DA2, but they weren't quite as mind-blowing as BG2. 

 

This game makes all of those games look like amateur efforts. *The sheer amount of content. The gorgeous well-designed graphics. The enormous amount of codex entries that don't dumb it down and don't "streamline" the world-building. The dynamic and innovative combat system that blends real-time elements with turn-based concepts. The well-thought out cast that's devoid of ridiculous stereotypes that have plagued some previous Bioware titles. Deep, involved romances, more so than any previous Bioware title. 

 

This game is truly incredible. People see that, and that's why it's received such critical acclaim. It's not without its flaws. The loss of the detailed tactics system in DA2 disappointed me. Skyhold feels a bit empty and lifeless - Haven is a better home-base.

 

But this truly redefined what I thought Bioware was capable of, and RPGs more generally. 

 

Please, leave a comment if you loved this game and are tired and frustrated by the constant pettiness and insincere cries of "Not enough hairstyles - guess I'm returning the game then!"

* I can get most of this from one particular MMO I have invested years of my life into, and some of it from one I have not played since 2014...don't misunderstand me here I simply intend to point out DAI is NOT unique. I know its not an MMO, and if you have never experienced a good one, you have missed out, but my point remains there. Frankly DAI is not unique even among its peers. There have been a lot of games on many formats that have just as large worlds and as much if not MORE content than DAI. A title which frankly should not even be compared to the previous DA games because they are completely different anyway.

 

Just so you know this is not me attempting to troll you at all, I have played Baldurs gate 2 to death and used to love it, and i love the DA games that came before, and I have played DAI for many hours and have a lot of characters. But your sentiment does NOT ring true with reality. And frankly most you would accuse of trolling just know that.

Yet Geralt is almost always saved by a woman whenever things go south for him. I don't see what's wrong with the sex scenes, if you don't like them, skip them, nothing is ever said during them so miss absolutely nothing.

 

 You CAN'T skip them. At least not that I've found. And I also found the sex scenes in inquisition to be less tasteful than previous games. There is absolutely no reason that sex scenes should be that explicit in a video game. It's just weird. 

 

And Geralt is not always saved by a woman. Most of the women in the games are useless and serve only as screw fodder or damsel in distress roles for him. 

[In Exile]

Your set background is OK in that game, given the plot of the story. But still. It causes some issues. If you play a barbarian, for example, it gets all messed up. Barbarians gets a D12 for hitpoints because they have grown up in a harsh environment etc. Candlekeeps libraries are nothing like that, in all fairness.

To be fair kits like Barbarian didn't exist when BG1 came out. We can just hand wave that away for BG2.

[Switish]

I liked it to a point but after completing 3/4 of one playthrough and creating a second one, Im having issues in trying to replay its value... I just cant. I cant even get invested in the multiplayer which I enjoyed in the likes of ME3....

 

DA:I is a beautiful game but it has shortcomings compared to its predecessors and cousins.

 

Yes Im one of those people who liked DA2, but only because I actually felt engaged with the characters, whereas I dont feel the slightest friendship or kinship with the current 'gang' what so ever.

What's "tasteful"?

[ModernAcademic]

The main problem is short deadline since it forces the game production to be rushed, in my opinion. But seriously, there are details that could easily have been taken care of. Issues that are quite frankly basic and an experienced production team should have foreseen.

[ModernAcademic]

Like starting the game with minor, irelevant quests for the player to complete, like talking to a random nun in a backyard village only to hear an obvious piece of advice or convince a horse master to lend horses. Seriously? Does that sound like the start of a great RPG adventure to you? Things were going well after you were taken prisoner by Cassandra and then it's off to walk all day looking for missing people, collect herbs and fight wolves and demons. 

[Handsome Jack]

DA:I is a social media and DLC vehicle made solely for profit and pandering. It's destroyed an already dying franchise and has, to me and many Origins fans, ruined Bioware's own reputation.

 

No. We can't say it's the best RPG ever. It's not an RPG to begin with. It's sterile, artificial, and has no polish nor heart behind it.

[ModernAcademic]

And when you get to Skyhold after Corypheus' attack, you wear the same outfit for everything - who will take the Inquisitor seriously when he's wearing beige pyjamas? -, can't deploy forces to key points in the map where you go on missions and has to do everything yourself, on foot, risking to suffer another direct attack from Corypheus, can't fix Skyhold and turn it into a respectable fortress, not to mention you don't actually feel like an Inquisitor, since you never host diplomatic meetings, never has to confront the Chantry and issues of faith, never get to command troops on the field, among other problems.

You probably played The Witcher 2 at release, that was the only time you couldn't skip cutscenes. Geralt is saved by Triss three times in The Witcher 1, she also introduces him to powerful merchants. So without Triss' help, Geralt never would have succeeded in his quest.

 

In The Witcher 2, Triss saves Geralt at least two or three times, Geralt saves her once, depending on your choice. Geralt is also saved by Philipa and Saskia, during extremely dangerous situations mind you, and to say most of the women are useless is incredibly foolish.

 

The women in The Witcher games are arguably more powerful than the men, it was the cunning of the Lodge of Sorceresses that caused the entire events that take place in The Witcher 2,

 

it was the powerful magic of Triss and Philipa that saved Geralt's life on more than one occasion and even helped him to progress

during his quests. 

 

I hope you don't also think all the women are some tender flowers, if you do I encourage to replay The Witcher 1 and side with The Order of The Flaming Rose.

 

Why shouldn't the sex scenes in video games be explicit? You act as though only little kids play them or that if someone who doesn't mind them or maybe even like them is some weirdo. I thought the sex scenes in The Witcher 2 were rather good and if you're going to put sex in your game why not animate it with the same amount of love as you did with the rest of the game.

[ModernAcademic]

If anything, the Inquisitor felt more like a Warden, walking all over the map and recruiting people to build his army. But hey, this is not Origins, remember Bioware? 

[ModernAcademic]

Sorry, but in spite of all the terrific work in animation, voice acting, dialog writing and many other things, there are details that should have been taken care of. They were not. Compare Mass Effect 2 to DA:I and you'll see one game does have perfect storytelling, perfect rhythm, immersive gameplay and coherent elements. DA:I just fails in making you feel the mighty Inquisitor of an institution that's growing and slowly imposing itself, earning the people's respect, admiration or fear.

Some people, male and female, are "bottoms" you know and don't mind that role.  The whole gay KISA thread is about wanting a knight to rescue them and save them, "ie damsel in distress".

I've got nothing better to do until Game of Thrones starts and GTA V is released for PC.

Better include everyone possible.

 

Might as well start including monstrous "Drag Queens" in horrible makeup too.

I'm not convinced it is sexism.  Look at how many copies of 50 Shades of Grey sold.  Some women love being the sex object.  Some don't but people shouldn't act like all women are a panacea of sexual dominance and insist that's sexism because it devalues the sexual preferences of a great many people.

Oh I would love monstrous drag queens in it--her makeup isn't horrible btw.

Oh, is that a drag queen in your picture? I wasn't referring to it, just the fact that I've seen lots of people fall in love with that Ru Paul garbage lately on here.

 

Yes, his makeup is ****** atrocious.

SJWs love to deny it though. In their twisted and hellish minds anything and everything is sexism. Saying "hello" to a woman is rape if you're a cisgendered heterosexual Caucasian.

People should go to the ME or India before they shout about sexism.  We have first world problems and limited dynamics.  The type of sexism we face in the west is nothing compared to what they go through.  At the same time the things white males complain about, compared to what people face in other countries, seems pretty whinge worthy too.

 

People in Europe and North America don't have problems.  Problems is limited access to fresh water, institutionalized legal sexism, genital mutilation, fear of a hellfire landing in your village, etc.

 

Complaining about video games is fun, but I never take this stuff so seriously that I lose a connection to the reality button.

[Grieving Natashina]

Man, I know.  I hate SJWs too. Those Sliced Juicy Watermelons ruin everything.   Those stains never come out on white clothes.  I'd recommend black clothes, especially for a kid if you feed them SJWs.  

 

Or those stupid Shock Jock Whiners.  Howard Stern just isn't funny anymore, is he?  If he ever was, but radio isn't nearly as popular as it used to be.  I guess we'll see less SJWs with time.

 

Oh, wait.  You must have been to Wolfgang Puck's.  Slow Jumpy Waiters drop my food all the time.  I don't recommend the place and I never tip their SJWs.

 

Stupid SJWs.  Always taking away my fun and ruining stuff.
