I wouldn't call Inquisition a disappointment, but certainly did not offer what I was expecting.

 

It's a huge improvement over Dragon Age 2? Yes, of course, but given the rushed-rough-undesirable-gem that game was, it has zero merit. Alas, Inquisition delivers a much more polished game experience, but at the cost of completely distancing itself from previous dragon age foundations. It's soooooo different from that idea of "the better from Origins plus the better from Dragon Age 2" that developers sold to us previous release, that I felt pretty confused in my first hours with the game.

 

I think the saga deserves a great game without distancing from what Origins tried to offer. I understand, though, that the market for these kind of games is not what it was back then. Nonetheless, I truly think a better middle ground is achievable.

 

But to my original point: Inquisition is a pretty good game; by far, not as good as Origins, no, but good enough in its attempt to "skyrimize"/"bethesdize" the saga. Sadly, a good slice of the fans, myself included, did not want this by any means.

True enough, and this gives me hope. But I will never understand how long it took for them to implement the pajama fix in the final patch. The emphasis for many of the patches seemed to be multiplayer fixes rather than what seems to me some basic things (I can understand golden nug being time consuming to implement). I would think it would be in Bio's best interests to address the most hated features soonest, to encourage players to continue playing the game. How many players had already forgotten their copies and moved on to new games by the time the last patch came out with these features.

I have a feeling the pajama issue in particular might have been more difficult to fix than you might think and realistically fixing the pajamas wouldn't bring back anyone that had put the game down.

But they did get the Black Emporium out quick, which was something that won them some goodwill, as did improvements in JoH. The impression that multiplayer got more attention is largely because multiplayer needs frequent content to stay alive and it's hard to get people playing again if you wait to fix a bug that disrupts the experience.

Well, to me, I don't buy the argument of "it's optional, so it doesn't have to be high quality," which seems to be the reasoning.

 

It isn't the reasoning at all actually. People like different things, therefore it is optional. That is the reasoning. Anyway there are always quests with differing levels of "fleshing out" and depth. In a game like DAO more of those not so exciting encounters were fixed into the main quests nad therefore we now have nifty things like "skip the fade". In DAI you can skip it without a mod, if you like.

"skyrimize"/"bethesdize" the saga. Sadly, a good slice of the fans, myself included, did not want this by any means.

 

It's not even good at that. The environments and AI redeem them a bit (or at least makes the experience funny). It's full of randomness and emergent gameplay. This is more theme park like, in the way MMOs are designed. It's also party based.. it gives off an entirely different vibe. If it's trying to be TES, then I'm missing the slower, stalking experience when hunting something down or taking your time in a dungeon.

 

So even if I did want a Skyrim, this sucked at it anyways.

It took the best parts of Skyrim and the best parts of Dragon Age and smooshed them together in the name of gooey awesomeness.

Oh joy another person who thinks everything Post Origins is dog Shite. The more that i think of it, What part of Origins story was spectacular?

You had a mute blank slate, Forced to become a Warden, gather allies and fight a dragon, Nothing about that is spectacular to the extent, that it needs the Godly praise it gets.

The main complaint i hear about the Inquisitor is He/she is boring with no personality. If that is the case how can people hold the Warden as highly as they do, being not voiced, not even giving a emotional smile. Screwing Morrigan with the dead stare was not very immersive not to say not romantic. Poor Morrigan putting all that work in for Stone face. 

If any DA game deserving godhood based on its PC. It should be DA2 then with Sarcastic Hawke.
