Well there's a guaranteed 2nd playthrough due to the different race selection, as well as Mages vs Templars, views I'd normally not take (religious vs not religious/ accepting the title vs rejecting it/ sympathetic with mages vs templars etc..) and other decisions made in main quest/side quests/judgements/war table missions as well as romance.
 

Other than that, I would say yes buuuut the game is a bit too big, and things that seem fun to find explore and play through at first turn into grind-fests that really drain me and my will to continue. Not a bad thing at all though because I enjoyed the hell out of this game.

 

[Darkly Tranquil]

No. There is far too much boring grind between the good bits to make multiple playthroughs appealing. I found one go through enough of a slog. I just watched the things I missed on YouTube rather than grinding through it all again just to see a few different scenes.

[DarkKnightHolmes]

Not enough IMO. The open world takes up 80% of the game time and there is next to no choice or difference from my first and second play through in these open world Areas. It's all kill this or fetch that with no diversity in ways to do it.

 

In terms of side quest, even Kirkwall beats all of DAI 10 open world areas.

[Aaleel]

For me yes.  I played it four times so far.  One sign of replayability for me is when I'm already planning what kind of character I'm going to play on my next playthrough before I've finished the current one.  

 

I'm going to wait until Black Emporium comes out and them I'm going to get it and the just released DLC and go back to it.  

 

I played Origins who knows how many times but only played DA2 one time.  So this was refreshing.  

[Mihura]

Less than the last ones, unfortunately. I really do not think it is because it is a open world, since I did play Skyrim a lot with different characters, it is the lack of content really.

[FeliciaM]

I plan on doing a play through for each race. But so far, I only have elves (only completed the game twice), I only romanced Cullen So I decided to reroll the elves, and romance Solas... whilst taking choices that were mostly opposite from what I did the first time. That went pretty well. Then my human mage KE will romance Cullen, and I'll feel like I did something a bit different lol

 

I haven't rolled a qunari or dwarf yet simply because I'm not sure who I want to romance. I'm amused by the extreme height differences with Iron Bull and a female dwarf... and Cassandra with a Qunari.

 

In any case... yes, I'll be able to replay the game.

[Chardonney]

My answer is simply; yes. I'm currently halfway on my fifth playthrough and it's also my third time romancing Cullen (1 Dorian, 1 Blackwall, 3 Cullen). And I already know that I will have more playthroughs coming after this one.

[themikefest]

Yes. I'm currently on my tenth playthrough

[SwobyJ]

Yes. For at least 2-4 playthroughs.

 

This is compared to the at least 2-3 I see for DA2.

 

And 3-5 playthroughs for DAO. (origin, race, class choices just to start!)

 

DAI invites replaying, but only to a certain degree, and more spaced out. I definitely do not want to play it again this year after my main mage and my Nightmare run warrior. Especially since I'm rather completionist.

 

But 1-2 more playthroughs next year after all DLC? Sure! It has enough in it to keep me interested, even as there's a lot of uninteresting in there.

 

It could have had more though. It should have had more. Core story was clearly sacrificed for one-off MMO style blah questing.

 

Maybe some think that DA2 has more replayability but tbh if you do one with mostly Friendship and do another with mostly Rivalry, you're pretty set for story - same with being Mage or Templar inclined. Maybe 1-2 more playthroughs after that for class/quest variety but that's about it. I think the same of ME2 or I would if there wasn't the Suicide Mission (which makes things more interesting than the blatant Para/Rene difference).

 

 

All DA games have setups to allow up to several playthroughs, with variety of outcomes happening. But DAI is different from the first two games in that I'd encourage a 'cooldown'. There's too much filler content that you can really burn out on if you want to try to play the game over and over. Put it down for some months and return sometime later.

[AWTEW]

No, the story is too little and the protagonist is boring compared to Hawke. This game really,really, really sucks  compared to DA2 in all areas except maps (DAO is god-tier this is already well established). I barely played through it to completion  twice, and only to see the differences between major choices.  Compare dot DAO which has 14 complete playthroughs and, DA2 has nine (soon to be 10), DAI is a drag.

 

No Humorous personality,or murderknife personality..just neutral overkill..

Lack of cinimatics.

Major Lack of story.

Combat is more restrictive in DAI.

Grindy fetch quest overkill.

[guntar74]

Unfortunately for me nope. I only have one story run done and have yet to finish all areas 100% or have the dlc. I'm hoping with a long break and when more dlc is out I can jump back in with more energy. Though whenever I think about how long it takes to do all the stuff in the zones my energy fades back away....

[SwobyJ]

To sum up my last post:

 

Race and Class and Mage/Templar stuff almost guarantees a 2nd playthrough for the interested, but 3-4 playthroughs is more iffy, and 5-6 may be unlikely except for the DA addicts.

 

I think it has more than what DA2 offers, but at the same time, it also has a lot of filler that may turn you off. Many players may retreat to DAO or even DA2 and forget about DAI, while others may find enough in DAI to warrant multiple playthroughs and will be willing to move forward into DLC and waiting for the next game.

 

 

 

For a Bioware game I'd say its middle of the road in about every respect. Not terrible, not fantastic. Deserving of its awards and addicting gameplay to people, but also not deserving of it and alienating to people. Seems to depend on you.

 

For replayability, it would have been much worse without racial selection, so good on Bioware for opting for that. (Just um, the Qunari seem iffy and the Male Elves may still need that model fix?)

 

I'm enjoying myself enough to look forward to DLC and doing a 3rd or even 4th playthrough in 2016-2017, so there's that. Its too bad that Bioware made mistakes, but I also don't consider it the gaming disaster (like the game or not; I kinda like it) that DA2 was, and I do think that Bioware both externally and perhaps often internally are noting their mistakes and will be continuing to work on them in patches, DLC, and especially the next game.. especially because they won't be dealing with a new engine for it.

[NaclynE]

Frankly I would like to say yes. I kind of do agree that DAO/DAA had more content but honestly I am replaying DAI a-lot more than I am replaying DA 2. DAO/DAA I did like the ability to play as my origins then hop into the main story and do what I want within the main story while during a second and so on playthrough I can be like "what would happen if I do this?". All of the DLC's were worth it and fun. Dragon Age 2 kind of gets old after a while because you're set to be "Hawke". You're not qunari, you're not elven, you're not dwarven but a human "Hawke". At least with Dragon Age Inquisition they brought the race thing back and it does seem to factor in a tad here and there.

 

Funny thing you brought up the DLC and saying "is this replayable?". Frankly as of right now only ONE DLC came out for Inquisition (even though I am waiting on mine since I have the 360 version).  I am pretty sure (hopefully) more DLC will be on the way giving us a reason to play this all the way to 2020 or something. All I can say in my case minus the ONE DLC I already finished this game three times and am working on a few more characters at this moment.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

There isn't. 

 

One of the things that make a game have high replayability is variety. Namely variety in gameplay.

 

Most of this game revolves around clicking for a bunch of slides and spamming a few abilities. That's it. 

[xassantex]

i see people with many playthroughs... do you peeps spend a lot of time on side quest or just enough to level up for the next main mission ?

I have done one run that took 100 hours but all the others amount to about 70 h.  

I' m on my 4th run ( sort of mid game right now ) , and as many have pointed out, the grinding is tedious . But i'll actally dedicate a couple of hours doing nothing but pick up metal and friggin  herbs, so that later i can ignore those totally and enjoy the game more. 

I'm still getting new replies from allies , hearing new banter and playing with a different perspective ( did Dual dagger Rogue, Rift Mage, Two handed sword Warrior and now Archer Rogue). 

So yes, i will play more . 

[alex90c]

the lack of armour variation pre-skyhold makes it harder for me to replay the game. I had to force myself through, rush to hissing wastes, get the templar schematics and then I could actually start playing the game. which is a shame because I enjoy the story pre-skyhold but you look like absolute trash.

[frostajulie]

The "origins" in Origins are like an hour, 90 minutes TOPS.  While they are interesting, they are in no way so dramatically fulfilling as to make Origins a vastly superior game.  If Origins started you out at Ostagar and gave you some panels explaining what happened and how you got there, I really don't see how that would be that much different... just like Inquisition.

As far as replayability?  Yeah, it's got that in spades.

I disagree those origins set a tone, a mindset for your Warden that influences and shapes why you make later decisions down the road.  It took 3-4 years and multiple platforms before it got stale for me I completed with 23 wardens and thats not including multiple start and stops.  Those origins really helped invest the pc in the world and make it meaningful to me the player.

 

In DAI I played 1 and a half times and quit due to boredom.  As another poster stated I have no motivation to continue past Skyhold.  I'm going to try again this summer but as it stands now I have no desire to replay the game.  I am still playing in Skyrim and exploring Pillars of Eternity.  Those are really fun although my Skyrim is heavily modded.

[Chiramu]

I might replay Inquisition when I forget about everything I did in my first game . Would be nice if I could delete Inquisition from my memory so that I could start afresh XD.

[Steppenwolf]

It took me forever to finish my second playthrough and my third playthrough stalled out very quickly. The different decisions don't really make much, if any difference on the game and the story is lackluster at best. I don't hate the game, but this is the least I've played any BioWare game.

Looking back, none of the games offered much in the way of good looking armor in the start of the game. Origins is probably the worst offender of the lot, because the armors you acquire early all look kind of terrible, especially the rogue (particularly the female version). DA:I's merc armor is awful, but is gone the moment the prologue is over.

[Qun00]

It is enough for me due to roleplay.

Your race is talked about often enough that I would feel motivated to play each one of them.

I'm planning 5 runs in total, counting my main character being redone when I finally get my hands on a PS4.

[Paul E Dangerously]

I have to say no. Part of this is because the quest rewards in general are awful, and exploration isn't much better. In the past, I've flogged Skyrim for not having enough decent items as quest rewards/exploration rewards and focusing too much on crafting - and DAI takes that and doubles it. It might be worth replaying to see if story content changes, but everything else..eh.

in DA2 as a warrior the starting armour was nice plus you could get the free marcher battle plate early on (and there was an upgraded version later on in the game in the black emporium I think). in DA:O you could pick up heavy chainmail at ostagar which I think looks nice. earliest heavy plate I remember though (which dropped with actual reliability rather than RNG) was the templar chestpiece in the circle tower after the fade sequence.

 

these were all obtainable pretty much immediately after the prologues of the two games whereas in DA:I I have to progress through multiple plot points, and a bunch of sidequests to grind out the levels to do those plot points.

 

mind you, I almost exclusively play warriors in DA, so I have no idea how it was for light armour or medium armour characters.

[London]

Not for me. I finished one play through where I did a lot of content but not all. I skipped most shards and never stepped foot in Hissing Wastes or Oasis. It would have killed the flow of the main story. Since it was my first run I didn't know I needed to do 2-3 boring zones since there wasn't much story after Skyhold. Also I was getting bored and wanted it to end.

I started a rogue play through that I dropped somewhere in the Hinterlands (I guess a couple hours after Mother Guiselle.)

Since I couldn't figure out how I made my mains face again, I loaded his first save to replay a little differently and had planned on doing all zones this time. I finished 5 zones (Hinterlands, Crestwood, Fallow Mire, Storm Coast, and Western Approach) but took a 2 month break in the Fade. I thought about how fitting it would be to just end his story there and say he never got out but I felt oddly guilty and got out and finished storm coast. I'm part-way through Ine of the Dales areas and feeling very bored.

I read a review on Forbes that said that DAI fills time rather than spends it, and those words really reasonated with me as I sleepwalked through quests. I know I could just skip it all but I planned this as my completion run. I think I'm now done with DAI unless a really compelling DLC comes. (I'm not buying Jaws).

I only played DAI 1.5 times as the Deep Roads went on too long and I lost interest when I got there. I played 3.5 play through of DA2 as it was a tight story that flowed well and it wasn't an 80 hour game. I only played ME and ME2 once but had 2 full PTs of ME3 as it was my favorite one (ending aside). ME 1 was too boring on the planets but I am thinking of doing another 2/3 run.

The only other game I've replayed a few times since becoming a busy adult were BioShock Infinite (two pts) and Diablo 3 (a lot).

I have other hobbies so while I game a lot there are too many games of interest to spend too much time on one game unless it was very fun. DAI invokes too much boredom to keep going and since they now do the DA keep I don't really need a perfect PT. Also I was not happy with my romance option (Dorian - yuck, give me Cullen) and the Romances are usually why I pick up BioWare games to begin with.

While I have been down on DAI - I still very much look forward to more info on DA4 and hope it is not another lifeless experience.
