Not because they disagree with me, but because I've seen their posts before.

 

 

 

Then she doesn't like potatoes. She just like french fries.

 

And their posts basically disagrees with your views

 

French fries are made from potatoes which makes them the same

You're taking an abstract example and abstracting it too far.

French fries are made out of potatoes, genius.

Or maybe your example doesn't work, because it's too simplistic, huh? 

No, of course not - I bet in your mind you can never be wrong.

A whole potato isn't the same as a box of french fries, kiddo.

 

You're missing the point.

[MyKingdomCold]

Eh, I don't get French fries from a box. I make French fries from fresh potatoes.

Which, OF COURSE, makes them NOT-potatoes

 

Also, I wonder how many people like eating raw potatoes? I bet most never even try that.

Not to mention the Inquisitor is one of the most flat, boring, lifeless PCs to ever be in an RPG ever. The ****** Warden didn't even have dialogue audio and they still felt a hell of a lot more lifelike than the Inquisitor.

Now this I agree with.

I made the mistake of going with a Qunari Female, which made it even worse.

 

Her "voice actress", quotes heavily emphasized, sounded extremely bored at best, asleep at worst. I'd heard more inflection, emotion, and effort in text-to-speech programs.

You could've changed her voice though. I guess it was the American VA you tried, since it should be the default for qunari.

Let's see, what did I learn about what was going on with my Warden? Oh, that's right, nothing, because my Warden is dead. I saw the funeral at the end of Origins.

Regardless, your premise is built upon one set of circumstances, those that you chose to use for your observation. What you like or dislike about a game is subjective, and so, while you're not wrong in that regard, where your premise is falling flat is in the assumption that everyone saw it the way you did. The biggest "problem" I have with your premise, and I put in quotes because really, when you're speaking about you feel about it, it really doesn't affect me at all, is assuming that I came away feeling the same feels you did over the same things when, as we can see from the opening question of this post, I didn't even have the same experience that you did in that one aspect of the game, and I'm sure, being who I am, that there are other differences as well.

I didn't get any feels from the War Table mission concerning the HoF, because my HoF is dead, and there was no mission, in my canon playthrough. I didn't get Leliana's angst about returning to the HoF, because she knew the HoF was dead. Morrigan knew the HoF was dead, and didn't have a child to show for her time with her. The continuation of the Legacy story line is to be expected, considering the Antagonist in Inquisition was the Antagonist in Legacy. However, if they had not included Hawke, it would have played out much the same, only we'd have less information going in. They were integral to the story only in that they had previous experience with Cory, other than that, nothing they brought to the table was Cory breaking. We got more from the Temple of Mythal than we got from Hawke, hell, we got more from Flemeth than we got from Hawke. Basically, Hawke's cameo was more along the lines of an exposition of the events of Legacy than anything else, and we could have gotten that from Varric w/out Hawke.

So no, I didn't find my enjoyment of DA I in "fanservice", although I do tend to agree that the War Table mission for the HoF was just that, fanservice. It was, after all, included to appease those that cannot let their Warden go, and must instead have BioWare write an end to their story, despite the fact that really, it should be quite over. That's a discussion for another thread though.

You dislike French fries? Preposterous!

I can't find many faults with American VA, personally - sometimes the delivery could be better, but overall it's good for more reserved or confrontational individuals.

Oh she meant French fries, I thought she meant actual fried potatoes lol

I think a lot Depends on personal preferences. I saw very divergent opinion about The VA in the game.

The voices aren't bound by race, but I'll assume you went with the default.  While I disagree about your overall impression of the Inquisitor, I will agree that that voice was the least appealing to me.

Totally wanted Grey Delisle and Haytham Kenway's VA and the TOR's Sith Warrior VA for Inquisitor

I always wanted a Tim Curry or Dameon Clarke VA. That alone would've slightly redeemed Inquisition for me. Slightly.

Keith David. A qunari PC needs Keith David. And then I can call him Goliath.

I don't think any of the voice actors were bad but that all of them were given the same instructions to sound nearly as neutral as possible.  Such a missed opportunity with four different VA's.  I tried both Male VA's and British female and they all sounded alike aside from the accents and natural tones.  When you have four VAs who all sound neutral, then I blame the company more than the actors.

That's Bioware's voice direction. Mark Meer is the quintessential example. His non-Shepard characters have so much character it's ridiculous.

Hopefully the next game?
