The best thing about all those cut scenes, is that it really displayed CDPR's mastery over facial expressions. It gave you a reason to be involved in even more minor conversations. When a villager tells me about how a monster has murdered a loved one, I can actually see and hear their pain. Remember the little boy who tells us of Johnny, and who also, if asked, will tell us what happened to his parents? I think that was the same one. Anyway, you could both see and hear his pain in that part of the story.
Even more minor quests, where a villager tells us of a monster who has killed a loved one they put little touches into those cut scenes that allows you to really feel for that person's pain.
These are things that DA:I lacked so much of. A woman tells us of how her husband was murdered by Templars? No cut scene, no facial expressions, no emotion, I didn't give a crap.
Very true. CDPR made you care about the world and the people in it, even though it's not a "save the world from the Big Bad" type of game. Inquisition was too busy offering dumbing down the moral choices and patting itself on the back about having LGBT characters to be bothered.
(And no, I don't have an issue with diversity in storytelling. What I have an issue with is bad writers using identity politics as a fig leaf to cover up lousy storytelling).
Popping in to remind everyone that engagement is futile regarding this specific topic.
Agreed.
