Hi, it's me again, that me. But this time humbly praising Bioware for this awesome DLC. I still hate DAI not being a character sheet war and I still hate mario jumping, but as far as these two action-abomination failures allow you did a perfect job with Trespasser. In fact, Trespasser is so good I forgot the game was bad, at all. I had fun with DAI, what I thought to be impossible.
First things first, it is not a DLC, it is an expansion. It has new features all over. New armor addons (sigils), new skill upgrades for all active skills, new rewards for old missions and a new system (trials) among other things. This is the closest to an expansion a DLC can be and as much as Bioware isn't calling it an expansion, it is. And it is fair to praise them for being this awesome. It is almost like playing a new game now.
Second, and I mean it as a HUGE compliment, this DLC is pure fanservice. And this is what all games and DLCs should ever be. They make games, they have fans, they should please fans, absolutely. So this is fantastic! Loved EVERY SINGLE THING we begged for months (almost a year) and they gave us. Story wise, gameplay wise, lore wise, romance wise, item wise, difficulty wise, I mean, YEAH THEY DID SOMETHING PERFECT, FLAWLESS, and AWESOME at it.
Third, and most important for me, Trespasser is definetly the Mask of the Betrayer of Dragon Age Inquisition. If you recall I am a ****** to NWN2MOTB, it is the perfect game for me (and will always be, but Trespasser become 2nd best, and with action combat, meaning it exceeded all expectation I could picture in my mind for a 100% action no RPG game [that is what DAI is])
When I play NWN2 OC I play it thinking, it is lame, but it will be worth once I get to Mask of the Betrayer. It is the same feeling I have with Inquisition now, Trespasser make it worthy to go through the main game. The parallel is big here, NWN2 Main OC have a "mid game" where you get a fort and have to manage it, find resources, improve the fort and so on. And you fight a villain threatening the world but with not much of a personality. You even go through "ancient jungle stuff" near the end. You also have a suspicious mage friend... and well... I always compared DAI and NWN2, and they have a lot in common, and I mean A LOT, but NWN2 had a character development, a combat system and linear maps to redeem itself and of course MOTB to make me worship the game, and DAI had nothing, only bad stuff, only despair. Trespasser is everything as amazing as MOTB even the power you unintendedly received consuming your life and you having to manage it to survive. It felt like MOTB all over again! (Well, MOTB still had a lot more choice like being chaotic or plain evil, but I'm fine knowing no game will ever even touch how awesome MOTB was in everything story, quest, companion, all - specially when it comes to character creation development - thus it retaining the 1st place).
I don't know if I actually like Trespasser that much or if the main game being so ridiculously impossibly awful made this DLC look so fantastic. But for now, I bow before Trespasser. It is amazing. I take back everything offensive I said towards the devs in this forum. Also I made this post hoping they know they made a DLC so awesome that someone who hated this game with passion for months, someone who whish the franchise to end for how awful Inquisition was now is COMPLETELY in love with the game. I humbly say: I'm sorry, I was wrong, you still rock and can do amazing things. And as much as I don't deserve to ask anything, I will, please do your next stuff like Trespasser. It made me like franchise again, it brought me back to Thedas, it tore the veil, it brought magic back KEEP THIS MAGIC FLOWING!
I still have something to say... do you know what that means? Inquisition was the worst RPG I ever played, by far, this opinion was consistent from 18th November 2014 until 8th September 2015, not a day I did not hate Inquisition. I hated it for months, meaning hundreds of hours (however I kept believing and trying to love it somehow, even if it was using my mount to trample small animals in Hissing Wastes), but Trespasser made it go from the bottom of my game list (all genres) to the 2nd place, surpassing previous Bioware games and all other but NWN2 MotB.
YOU EVEN FIXED WARDEN LAME GIFT! You did it so perfect I can't believe! I still don't believe how awesome my Lavellan/Solas moment was. And the credit, and the post credits. I know you didn't do ti for a person like me, but I feel exactly like Blackwall being forgiven, I did not deserve it but I got the best thing, better than I could ever expected. You made me regret wanting this franchise to end. You deserve eternal happiness. (Until I freak with the next game and curse you all over again =( )
