Yeah, gameplay has never been great, and most of the side quests in II and Inquisition particularly are best ignored. But I like the lore and the characters.

Dragon Age: Origins is the ducks nuts. Was my favorite game last generation.
It's story was fantastic, it's locale was brilliant, the characters were memorable and it felt like an epic adventure that had me laughing at every turn... And it was actually not a super easy game to play through.
If that game was to get a remake/remaster to step up it's visuals... It would end up being my favorite game of this generation too.
Dragon Age 2 was smaller scope, it lost allot of the epicness that Origins had... It's threat didn't seem as pressing, it's world was boring and constrained and repetitive.
In short... Forgettable.
Inquisition however resolved much of Dragon Age 2's issues, it's visuals were fantastic at the time, the characters were memorable... Even if the humor wasn't as hilarious as the first game.
The audio was on-point, the story brought back the feeling of urgency that Origins had.
... But then they convoluted the lot with excessive amounts of fetch/side quests... It's still probably one of my favorite games this generation, shit it's the only one I have 100% completed.
...The Ending had me excited for the sequel.

I'm replaying Dragon Age Inquisition ATM. It's surprisingly quite heavy for a 2014 game. Mantle has a higher frame rate but the frame times were the worst I've ever seen in any game (which supposedly is running at 70 fps or so). |
Yeah. Being Biowares first outing with Frostbite, there was bound to be some teething issues, but in saying that, they did well.
On console it would be nice if it got a Pro/X enhancement patch though... But I guess EA/Bioware don't really like supporting older titles like say... Blizzard.
PC is definitely the place to play it if you have the hardware.

I'm basically avoiding all of the side quests that don't have anything to do with the plot or reasonably could have been done by someone else other than my main character, and enjoying way more than the first time I've played Inquistion. I'm not sure why they felt the need to stuff what was already a very large, long game.
