Inquisition is the most boring, uninspired, tedious game from Bioware I've ever played. Even if you skip the open world boredom they created and focus on the main quest, this game has little to offer other than pretty graphics. The villain is bland and uninteresting and your party members aren't much better. And the gameplay, what were they thinking? It's like they spent all of their resources making the combat effects look pretty and forgot to flesh out the gameplay mechanics. I've been playing this game since launch and only managed to finish it today. It's hard to believe that Origins and Inquisition were made by the same people.

Interesting, I say that Origins is tedious.

I'm on play through three and enjoying each play through more then the last.

And boring. And don't even get me started about the combat.

Okay! DA:I is not your game, get over it and play something else! 

[themikefest]

I enjoy playing DAI. I've already completed many playthroughs.

[Guildmasterron]

There is no such thing as a game that suits everyone. Sorry you didn't enjoy DAI. I really did and am doing another playthrough.

Oh, we can be real quick. One overhand right handed swipe after another. Mages get either a staff point or raising the staff in the sky. We ran the gambit of views before we met Cailan.

I felt the same way after I finished my first playthrough. After my second... well, I still feel this way, but I can see some merits in it, albeit, very few of them. I think BioWare have tried to change it too much from where it began. Origins and DA:2 are not the same game. That's apparent. But, they still closely resembled each other. DA:I has just went way off into a different direction in every way possible. I found it a little jarring at first. Like, "whoa! Is this even Dragon Age?"

[Big I]

I agree about the villain. Didn't mind the gameplay.

[Serza]

Think. Of my God damn. Liver, man.

I enjoyed DAI for what it was. Not my favorite Bioware game, and I liked DAO and DA2 more, but I'm not sad that I played it.

 

I am curious, though, from people who not only prefer DAI to DAO but actually dislike DAO, why did you continue playing the series if you didn't like the first game? Or did you start with DA2 or DAI and start Origins after playing them?

You know on this subject, at least for me, only narrative contunity is what matters for me.  DA I is a DA game for that.  In regards.  Just stick a dialog wheel in it and we'll be fine.

You know I really did not mind Origins too much.  It did have some really awesome things about it, one of only 3 games with good side quests.  And the story was pretty cool.  And it was BioWare...and actually I picked up the DA O Ultimate Edition and DA 2 at the same time at Game Stop for like 20 bucks.    So I was already all in.  And to think I was more worried about DA 2.  

 

Its just that whenever these threads pop up 'yey Origins awesome wtf is this ****' I do tend to knee jerk and run the other way as fast as I can to counter the scales.  The combat though, in Origins, was tedious as hell though.  And stupid.

OK makes sense. It sounds like we come about the games in the same way: really enjoy certain aspects so are willing to ignore the aspects we dislike. That is one of the best things about Bioware games for me, they usually have enough good in them to outweigh the bad, and are one of the few companies in the industry that provide some of these game elements.

 

I don't really understand the point of these threads popping up close to one year after the game is released. If anything, why not necro one of the old threads already existing?

Well guy has made forty points so I want to cut him some slack.  I assume guy anyways...AHEM.  

 

And yeah I have said that DA I is a phoenix, rising above its flaws to form to me an excellent game.  I mean I recognize DA I is flawed as **** in some areas but it does really connect with me.

Either way, we still have to take a drink.

Hello everyone. Please avoid spamming the thread with image only posts. Thank you.

I disagree.

 

Combat in DAO was fun and challenging. You never knew what you were going to fight and how to fight it.

 

DAI combat is boring. Oh look some bandits. Oh look some bears. Just hit the "A' button and keep hitting it until it dies.

 

There is no strategy to DAI combat. There is no moment to where I sat back and said, "OK, my team just got completely wiped out. What should we do to get the upper hand?"

 

I just recently finish playing DAO and DA2 (again). Even the combat in DA2 was far more interesting and fun.

 

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

 

When a RPG game no longer has healing spells, it is a clear sign that combat is not only easy but no longer a challenge.

 

Maybe I'm old school, but any game claiming to be an RPG should have fights that force the player to think in order to win.

As opposed to the sparkling dialog provided by the arch-demon?

Pretty much sums up my feelings on this game. Unfortunately, this forum is mostly filled with the sort that prefer this kind of thing, so your opinion is most likely not going to be well received around here.

       Cracked me up there

Anyway, I loved DAI. 
I also loved DAO, but there has been improvement in my opinion. Take exploration for instance.. The areas were rather small and pre-designed. Going from downstairs to upstairs in the same castle required zoning into another area. Other examples.. Brecilian Forest: move from zone 1 to zone 2 to zone 3, then go back. Etc etc.
What DAI has done greatly imho was exploration. I just simply love the open world. I'm not forced to go on a pre-determined route, I can move around freely and reach the objective in whichever way I want.
Sure maps are big, but that is realistic, and it shows how big each part of Thedas is!! Or you really believe that it should take 5 minutes to explore a forest??
And let's not even remember what they did with DA2, were all the areas were being recycled...
If this is the result of copying Skyrim's open worlds, I'm well glad it was done they way it was.

Combat.. Ok, I agree with you, it is a bit (a lot) dumbed down and it's true you can just spam a button or the left mouse button to attack. But then again, I don't know what difficulty you play at.. I only ever play normal cause I don't care about the challenge. But just the other day I was reading here a post of someone saying how they died at the first fight they found in the Hinterlands against the apostate mages in Nightmare because the floor was filled with traps and stuff that needs to be dispelled and the enemy was using a lot of shields etc.. So I do believe nightmare offers more of a challenge if that's what you prefer..

Also.. how can you say the companions are boring? This completely baffles me. There is not a single companion who is boring or dislikable, they all have backgrounds and they are well written in ways to show their personalities etc. So are the advisors. I don't like Sera, but I don't dislike her either, she is funny sometimes. They are equally well written as the ones in DAO/DA2 imho.

Lastly.. the enemy. Ok, Corypheus might be a "weak" villain.. but who are you comparing him to really? Cause as Illegitimus said, it's not like the Archdemon was this oh-so-present villain you get to know and talk to etc..you actually only see it at the end of the game. Loghain? Mmh, ok, not really a villain. The Architect? Maybe, but very short presence there either.. Plus I don't even think Corypheus is a proper villain either. He is just a mad man/darkspawn who happened to be the pawn of we know who.

What makes the DA games is the story.. maybe you didn't like Inquisition's story but you have to place it in the right spot.. We all know what's coming and Inquisition served to tie some events from the previous games and set the path for the next one. And did that really nicely if you ask me.

Then again, just my opinion.

[Tidus]

Actually I like DA:I and found it interesting in its own rights.. Its not DA:O or DA:2 or any other RPG I played over the years  so, I don't  even think about comparing DA:I to the other games I played.. I don't like the fine print though.

 

DA:O is tied with Final Fantasy 12 as far as my favorite games and there's no comparison between the two other then the standard RPG good versus evil story lines...

[correctamundo]

Combat in DAO isn't harder. It is just broken by different means.

To be honest, I didn't dislike DAO right off the bat and I do still like it for what it is. It's just that after playing DA2 and DAI, playing through DAO again always feels like such a slog and I really don't enjoy the gameplay as much as I used to. The story's still great but the combat, while challenging, felt slow and tedious. Don't get me wrong, DA2 felt like it was too fast in terms of combat (especially dual-wielding rogues) so when it came to the pace of the combat DAI was perfect for me.

I never understood people who dislike a game and their first choice of spending some time is to come to the forums of said game to post about how much they dislike it. 

 

I didn't enjoy Skyrim very much but I'm not hanging around the Skyrim forums telling everyone how little I enjoyed it. I just played something I did enjoy instead.

 

It's so weird.

I consider Loghain the villain as well. And it seems I can find find multiple 100 page threads about that guy around here. There's plenty to fight over and talk about with him.

 

Corypheus and his broken faith are interesting concepts, but just about everything dealing with the subject of faith (his or yours) is a farce in this game. Not worth talking about compared to Loghain's motivations.
