DA:O + All DLC's + Awakening - Got it like 1 month after release. I've played it through multiple times (between 8 -10) with all origins.

 

DA II + All DLC's - Pre-ordered the game and played through about 3 - 4 times.

 

 

I've also played ME 1-3.

I played the series backwards. It was interesting to go back in time step by step. I don't know if I would have preferred it the other way, but backwards opened up different angles of looking at the story that I don't think I would've seen if I'd done them all in a row.

Ohh, there definitely are some perks to it.

I, for one, made sure to have my Warden look like his son, Kieran.

[Blind Io]

As the icons suggest, played all of them + the DLCs multiple times, starting when DAO came out.

[br003]

All DLC's and mods.

[Kakistos_]

I have played them all multiple times and will again. I get most DLCs, the big ones. Not a fan of practice of slicing games into pieces BTW. I miss the age of the EXPANSION. I honestly do not understand anyone who can just jump into the second or third iteration of a series, game, movie or otherwise. It's like...books into movies. The movie will always be inferior and leave huge chunks out. You can't just willingly ignore whole chunks and passages of content and call yourself a fan. I can understand if one can't afford a whole series but at the very least go to Youtube and the Wiki and catch up first. /rant

 

Edit: Perhaps I was judgmental and rash. I myself haven't read EVERY comic and book yet. I fully intend to however. I stand by my original point though: You can't just skip 1 and go straight to 2 or 3.

[GoldenGail3]

I've played all three games as my icons suggest, DAO: All DLCS, DA2: All DLCs, and Inquisiom I also had all DLCS. And I've played them all!

[Kamon89]

Origins, at least 3 times and II - at least twice. I play through once, then play through again making the best decisions for an interesting story, not necessarily the best or correct ones.

My enjoyment and knowledge of the past games enhanced my enjoyment of Inquisition immensely. I can only think those coming to the series cold at Inquisition are unaware they're missing out, even with a Keep import.

[Ieldra]

How many actually played the past games? The only thing I'm missing is playing the DLC for Dragon Age 2 (I will go back to it at some point.) I know many people who do this...refusing to play the past games and moving onto the latest installment of the series, my friends also did this with Mass Effect 3.

About two million copies of DAO were sold, if I recall the numbers correctly. Given that only 40% of all players finish their games, and the rate goes down for longer games, I'd say about 500000 people finished DAO, and about an equal number finished DA2 which sold a little less but was also shorter. Only EA could come up with some real numbers based on tracked achievements.

If you're asking how many people will now play DAO, DA2 and DAI in sequence - no idea. I won't, but that's because I finished several Wardens and Hawkes in the past and I can build "my Thedas's story" on them without the need to change anything. I may eventually think up another variant I hadn't thought of before, and then I may replay the old games. But I already played them many times in the past. At the moment, there is no need to revisit them.

I've played the whole DA series plus all the released DLC more than once already... But I have definitely started other series with later installments. If I can't go back and play the earlier games (and sometimes it's too much of a pain if they are too old or on a platform I don't have), then I will just watch some videos or read online to catch up with the plot/characters.

I usually like to play through a whole series though, if the games are story heavy. Actually, I even prefer starting a few games in so that I can play them back to back. I played Mass Effect all in a row after the 3rd one came out. Was awesome not having to wait for sequels, DLC,

If the series isn't very story heavy then I guess it doesn't matter. I'll still look up some basic info about the plot/setting so I'm not totally lost.

I think DAI can be played without the others, but is much better if you do. The Keep does a really good job summarizing the past events though. I've seen people play just DAI and then suddenly they want to play the rest.

[Fullmetall21]

I played both of the previous games on PS3 (my PC was ancient at the time and couldn't even handle Origins) and most of their DLC multiple times. I must have close to 10 or more Wardens and slightly less Hawkes. That being said, the Keep cinematic with Varric telling the story actually does a very good job in bringing you up to speed, obviously it is not as good as playing the games yourself but it gives you a very accurate general idea of the past events.

[Dabrikishaw]

I've played all 3 and their various DLCs.

[diaspora2k5]

I've played all 3 and their various DLCs.

Same here.

 

Playing all 3 games makes me personally think now that the hero of each game should die either at the end of their game or afterwards like Hawke. Makes future entries less labyrinthine in storytelling to get around previous heroes.

[Carmen_Willow]

I have played all three multiple times, I purchased all the DLC for each of the DA games except this last one because they don't make it for the 360. Sadly, I guess I won't be playing any more of the DLC for Inquisition unless my 360 dies.

 

I don't own all the DLC for the original Mass Effect but I have played the game more than once. I own all the DLC for ME2 and all the DLC for ME3 except for the Omega one (I don't like Aria and don't care about helping her get back to Omega.).

[Para9on So1dier]

Full house, games plus DLC.

[Killdren88]

Played the first two fully DLC included.

[Xetykins]

About two million copies of DAO were sold, if I recall the numbers correctly.

Origins had triple platinum (3.2 mil) as of Feb. 2010. It was iirc 5 mil as of last year.

[thruaglassdarkly]

I never understood the thought process that leads to the decision to start a series anywhere but at the start.

 

You know, it really depends on the series. In the early days, a game might not find its legs until three titles in. With Bioware, I can see your point since the games tend to have a lot of connective tissue. Its difficult to get the full experience even with the vanilla games.  Missing out on Legacy would take a lot away from DA:I.

 

Anyway, like most everyone here, I have played all three titles extensively, though I'm sure this board isn't a representative sample of DA:I players.

[BraveVesperia]

DAO - 19

5 Mahariel, 1 Surana (canon), 3 Tabris, 3 Cousland, 4 Amell, 2 Brosca, 1 Aeducan

 

DA2 - 14

6 Mage, 5 Rogue, 3 Warrior

 

DAI - 6

3 Lavellan, 1 Trevelyan, 1 Adaar, 1 Cadash

 

I used to have no social life and no job, so plenty of free time. Only thing that's changed so far is the job.  DAI might end up with the most playthroughs, mostly because I can finally play a variety of lovely men as attractive as my ladies. And they have my favourite LIs (Cass and Dorian available to them).

[Darkly Tranquil]

DAO (+DLC) : 17 times
DA2 (+DLC) : 5 times
DAI : 1 time (and no plans to ever play it again)

[Elite Fennec]

Surely if you just edit decisions in the keep you can't really put them in context.

I started and the beginning with this series and I'm so glad I did. I leant my lesson from starting the Mass Effect trilogy with ME2. You just appreciate it more when you know about things that happened before. For example when Kaidan turned up in ME2 I didn't have a clue who he was or why Shepard should care. I've only just gone back recently to play Witch Hunt and Leliana's Song. I have to say I don't think I missed much there though but thought it was interesting you get to meet Divine Justinia given that she's so prominent a figure in DAI.

[Vegeta 77]

Origins and all dlcs twice.  DA2 and all dlcs 20 times. DAI one time.

[RoseLawliet]

The only Dragon Age thing I haven't done is read the comics. Well, or the table top RPG.

[Chlorite]

I played all three games, starting with DAO while it was already a couple years old (one day I stumbled over a DAII video and got curious).

I wonder how I would consider Inquisition if I started the franchise with it. It is magnificent but DAO holds a special place partly because it's the first DA game I played and my mind was blown by the aesthetics, music, lore, and above all the special attention to character writting.

 

I think what would change by playing DAI first (or even DAII) would be one's perception of the templar order. DAO was rather chill with the duality templar/mage (well maybe I was a bit blind) and apostates (if your PC is a rogue or a warrior, the first mage you really meet is Morrigan). In DAII the "burn the witch" mentality felt stronger.

Blood magic felt more dangerous/wrong in DAO though (the Broken Circle quest scared me)

 

I played two DAO playthoughs with the same Tabris!warden (refining my first try) and two DAII PT (a mage Hawke then a rogue one who became my main Hawke) . I didn't played the DAO DLC (back in the day I naively though DLC meant accessory content, not central/canon to the lore. I really should play Awakening at some point). I played DAII and DA:I's DLC though (Descent in progress).

[Kukuru]

I played Origins + all DLC several times (i didn't count them) and DA2 + all DLC two times only. Replayed both before starting Inquisition.
