Just shipped back Dragon age to those wonderful peoples at Gamefly (seriously if you don't have Gamefly you should; another thread for another day)

After putting in a little bit over six hours, I came to the conclusion that this game is BORING. Nothing I did ever screamed "meaningful" or "exciting" or "should be in a video game". 

Go here, do this for that guy, go back to guy. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Story was mediocre at best; with some interesting dialogue bogged down by a confusing and all over the place main plot line. Filler content EVERYWHERE. Seriously I'm supposed to be this all powerful king/inqusitor yet I'm doing mundane tasks myself?? 

Gameplay was ehh. Not as great as the first Dragon Age (I did not play the second installment). Overall I was very disappointed. 

I went in really wanting to love this game. Another massive RPG with good critical success that I could spend 100+ hours in. I was looking for my next Skyrim-esque world. Sadly, I did not find it. 

Coming from the developer of possibly my 2nd favorite game series of all time in Mass Effect; I am now sad. How did this game get great reviews?

Thoughts on Dragon Age Inquisition?

I agree. I spent almost 30 hours to make a judgement. And I found it very very boring. I love Dragon Age: Origins, but I think that its two sequels don't deliver. You're not alone lol

I loved it. It was my GOTY of 2014.

It was boring to me as well, too many MMO-like fetch quests and an uninteresting story (imo).

I'm 14 hours in and are loving it. I can see how gaining power is boring to some though.

Well.. I was actually thinking of getting this game. I don't have gamefly and I keep all the games I buy, no matter what. That would have been a mistake, from the sound of things.

You are an *****!

You can have same sex relationships in the game! You really don't understand this kind of modern gameplay meta-game. Go back to your Mass Erect games.

Yeah, I felt the same.

Well, it is essentially a single player MMO so I imagine I'll feel much the same way about it. That's why I haven't bought it and I have no plans to do so for some time, at least until there's a sale on Origin or something.

it's a beautiful, but unfortunately soulless single player mmo simulator
